Thanks y'all! I'm having the most fun shooting, which is hard when you're burning through rolls while trying to conserve film on a college budget lol
Also Shab and Darshan, those pictures are beautiful

Great! Is that a (the motive itself) a more or less straight print from the negative?
I know a bike enthusiast (tour de France-style, but without the doping
) , I thought immediately, wow, he is gonna love this.I think there is quite a marketable potential with this one. Captures the motion and explosiveness exceedingly well.

Hi Ljós,
this image has been scanned from a negative and then I have adjust the levels to get more contrast. Then I have applied a sharpen mask (I don't know how to say it in english). I wanted to be more visual the grain.
And no more.
You say it is quite marketable... but I don't know how to do it!
Before doing the photo, I explain it in spanish in the blog, I thought I wanted to get an image that captures the motion, the force, the plasticity, the beauty, the "magic" of this sport... so I decided to try it.
That afternoon I was with my family and some friends to see the championship and I was with the OM-1n + 24mm + FP4 Plus. I had an error and so I was using the film at ISO32...
Around me there were some photographers with their DSLRs and some Pro zooms... I looked at my camera and I felt acomplished...
So I thought about what I was going to capture and I decided to get the dinamism, the motion, speed, force... and I decided to use a really slow "speed" with my shutter...
I took 20 photos and I have 2 in this way. The others are ok, but don't have this "point".
Thank you for your kind words, really.
P.S.: I will try to print this picture in a 30x40cm copy in a FB paper...

Shab, Your images are pleasing and well captured. Thank you for posting. Would you mind sharing some of your process. Hand held? Process yourself, Much post-processing? Do you shoot many and select 'the one best example?' Any pointers you might be able to share so that we can learn from you would be helpful. Thanks again for some very nice images. -- martin

Hi Martin,
thank you for your words. About my process: it is simple.
I used a tripod in some photos of Breizh (Bretagne) but these are the only ones I have used the tripod with the OM-1n. So I usually shoot hand held.
My photographic style is "slow". First I look and look... and I feel. When I see that "something" is going to be happen I use my lightmeter (Sekonic L-308s) (before I have been looking for light) and after I look for the "frame" of the photo.
If there is a person, I try to approach slowly and sometimes I talk with him/her. But sometimes, when I see there is a natural moment I take the photo before and after I talk to the person and I ask for his/her permision for the photo that I have taken before...
for me, knowing people is really important, not only take the image...
and I like to place the "human" in the Nature, looking balance between them (human/Nature)... I try it...
I don't shoot a lot, because film is expensive for me. But I only shoot film in the last year (or more). Some years ago, I shot a lot, now I look a lot, I feel a lot, I think a lo... before shooting.
About post-processing: there are some photos I post process more, but all the time I touch levels, no more.
Now I have began to print in the darkroom, with a meopta Axomat 5, and I can see it is exactly the same way I post process my scanned photos. But when I have the photo on the paper (Adox MCC 110 FB V) it is so different from my prints from a Canon printer with Hahnemühle paper... I love the darkroom prints.
I hope I have explained my process...
Xabier.

Xabier, oh yeah, please keep printing analog I do not have time for it right now, so it warms my heart to know that "the others" carry on. And certainly your pictures are worth getting printed the best possible way!
