Indonesia in analogue

Margus,

Just wanted to add a belated thanks to the four pages (so far) you have received here already.

This is one of my favourite threads on RFF for some time and a definite champion for the use of film. The quality is fantastic, both in IQ and content.

Thanks.

Chris.

I am sure I'm not the only one that would love to see a "what's in your bag" picture.
How do you carry all that stuff?

Don't have the pic of my bag, but I'm fairly limited. I have a medium sized Tamrac Expedition 6X with everything fitted inside minus the Horizon 202 that I carry in it's own pouch. It's relatively heavy, but I can ride on a motorcycle with it, after 300+ km day I'm usually very tired though, with back hurting and everything numb, but it's usually a very nice day out too. Not everything good in life ought to be easy to acheive.

Next time I should take a pic of the bag I guess :)

Cheers Chris!

Not sure I deserve such a high profile recognition though! I'm no pro, just a humble hobbyist whose love is film in the end of the day :eek:

Not for this one. I'm no pro, nor from US, UK or any known country, nor famous, nor an attention seeker type with a "this-or-that photography" slogans everywhere on the pictures = no one would buy it. Simple as that I guess.

That being said I'm currently finishing a longer text book about a 3-year round the world motorcycle expedition, hopefully with a visual material that I want to produce in very small numbers (self publishing, having access to the oldschool machinery maybe even self-binding it since I don't have much money to spend, yet hand-made stuff always appeals to me). It's mainly for the people who have supported me in different undertakings and helped out etc - it's someting to give back. Let's see how it goes.
 
Can't wait!

How do you chose what camera to use for each location?
If I had all 3 I would not know which one to use.

Great stuff!

Peace

ps...you need to offer some of these for sale.
 
Some brilliant pictures in this thread. That horse picture is my favourite. Thanks for sharing tsiklonaut :)
 
I like all your photos Tsiklonaut. They are wonderful! Such color in the color shots. But the b/w are quite wonderful too. I really liked the infrared. Palmy Possibilites was just amazing. Who would have thought that fronds would have absored so much infrared? If you have more, please take the time to keep them coming.

Actually don't know. It's always a gut feeling that somehow comes automatically out of me. With panoramic I opt for wider vistas, ditto wide-angle on P67, if the distances get too huge I run 200mm. But mainly I think in film purpose terms, i.e. where I really have to think and it doesn't come so automatically: i.e. infrared for more awkward scenes, b&w for classics, slide for good color scenes.

If there's any interest in buying any of those in prints - I'm always open.

Cheers,

I reckon I'll go into close-down mode here now. Maybe just few more.

I should have said reflected IR.

Somehow I missed page 3. I don't know if you like cropping, but the photo of the monkey in the trees; had you considered cropping from the top to just above the monkeys head? I noticed that as I was scrolling, when it got to that point, the leaves and branches just below took on a life of their own. If you wanted square, you could also crop from the sides.

Or not, since you like to show the film edges. That is hardly ever seen. But it can be refreshing, and with such great photos, that can't possibly detract, at least imho.

I hope you have more as I have really been enjoying them.
