A follow up from Saturday's post. More monochrome sharing.

 

Questa è la mia tazza di caffè preferita di tutti i tempi

C'è qualcosa nella luce che entra nella mia cucina la mattina presto che mi fa venir voglia di fotografare. Le cose che finiscono nel lavandino hanno un aspetto particolarmente bello. Sabato, dopo aver finito il caffè a casa, ho sciacquato la tazza e l'ho messa nel lavandino. Quando l'ho guardato da un'angolazione mi ha parlato e mi sono sentito obbligato a immortalarlo. Ho preso una Lumix S5 con un obiettivo da 58 mm nella parte anteriore e ho scattato alcuni fotogrammi. Quando ho visto i risultati sui miei provini a contatto digitali (non in Capture One) ho capito che dovevo condividere la bellezza del profilo monocromatico di quella fotocamera. Quando guardo la fotografia mi viene voglia di altro caffè. E più divertenti obiettivi manuali con cui giocare. Se non ti piacciono le immagini in bianco e nero, per favore non essere uno stronzo pedante e fare qualche dichiarazione drammatica che sia offensiva. Menziona solo che ti potrebbe piacere che il colore funzioni un po 'meglio. Eh?

  1. Fue solo cuando Leica sacó el M6 que se pudo poner película en color en un telémetro Leica. Los modelos anteriores, como mi M4, rechazaban automáticamente cualquier película en color.

  3. Il bianco e nero va bene, Kirk. È una lingua in cui molti di noi di una certa età sono fluenti, ma può confondere molte negazioni del 21 ° secolo. Bel lavoro. Dateci di più.

  4. I immediately recognized this as "not English", and re-checked to see if this was "Lorem ipsum", the placeholder Latin. Wondered if perhaps with your recent comments about re-assessing the blog you were testing us to see if anyone was paying attention...
    Best,

  5. Rob, just expanding the repertoire into Italian and French. World Wide Readership. Gotta spread the amore.

  6. TMJ. C'est Vrai !!! My M4 refuses to allow color into the chamber.

  7. Actually checked if I left auto-translation enabled somewhere, so literalist was the tone.

  8. Talking cups, exploding domestic appliances! Give those mannequins parasols and ask them to dance - Charles Dodgson eat your heart out :-)

  9. Na początku pandemii ustawiłem Nikona D700 na ładny czarno-biały profil i każdego ranka robiłem zdjęcie małej filiżanki, w której piłem espresso… kapie iw ogóle.

  10. Since I'm an Italian learner, I have Italian checked as a second language on my computer, for purposes of spellcheck, etc. You had me checking my settings there for a while!

  11. Hi MikeR, my Polish is a little rusty but I think you were photographing your espresso cup. Yes?

    1. That's right. I used LR to print an 11x14 "contact sheet " which I entered into a local art show. Pandemic protocol, it was an online show.

      Full disclosure, I used Google translate, as the last time I could converse in Polish, I was five. Polish parents, relatives, and neighbors, in a largely Polish Philadelphia neighborhood. Total immersion.

  12. JC, the part about being able to lift the shadows with much less noise was very interesting to me. I'm actually (really) ordering a Q2 Monochrom to play with. That will take precedence for me over any Pentax investigation. I sure like Paul's work. And his accent is so much for an ole Texas boy to listen to.

  13. Kirk,

    Since you're expanding the worldly VSL blog, it occurred to me to ask: Adana'daki çoçukluğundan hiç Türkçe hatırlıyormusun?

    :-D
