Thank you Louis, your answer did help ! It reminded me something I overlooked before, now I can show you guys some bigger photos ! Here come some heavily cropped panorama shots, hope you guys don't mind :

Ya see.. this is the one thing I LOVE about this forum.
There's lots of folks from around the world using RF cameras and they're enjoying themselves.

It's really a beautiful thing to see.. 🙂

I really missed this great day of shooting!

Dingo, you used your DIY panorama gear?

 

[Mr Ho]

Wow, Louis. I echo Dingo's and Ainslie's comments! Your shots are very special. I think this particular walkabout has yielded some of the BEST shots yet! I'm going to pick up my film later today.

Maybe we should schedule another outing while your wife is still away? I'm pretty sure that Dingo would be happy to get together.

By the way, I went to that photo exhibition by the French photographer, Guy Bourdin, with my son Garret and we found his work really unusual. Talk about bizarre composition! I'm going to buy the book that the exhibition was based on and will bring it along to our next meeting.

In the interim, check out http://www.guybourdin.org/ for a good sense of the type of stuff he did.

I'll attach a few pix from the show that I found on www.guybourdin.fsnet.co.uk

 

[Mr Ho]

Here are three more from the same Guy Bourdin exhibit. You guys really missed something. These were all taken in 1978, and my son remarked "Dad, they don't look like they were taken with a rangefinder, probably early digital, right?" 😀

[Dingo]

You're the man, Louis !

Louis, the last one is so GREAT !!! It is so amazing that you captured it with an RF ! Alright, we will arrange another gathering very soon, Adrian, right ?

BTW Keven, my panoramas are just some cropping tricks, not serious stuffs.

OK, it's my turn again, another roll came back, loaded in a Kiev 4A with a Jupiter-12, which is a gem I have to say, check it out :

 

[Mr Ho]

Hey Dingo, you were pretty good at capturing that old lady working on her foot! 😛

I'm going to get my photos tomorrow (too busy today) and will post immediately should I have anything worthy. Hopefully my G2 didn't let me down!

[Mr Ho]

Alright, we will arrange another gathering very soon, Adrian, right ?

How about next Saturday, 10 November? Shall we hit Wanchai Market around 3pm?

 

[louiskht]

10th nov. sounds good for me adrian, can't wait to see your pics.

the fish guy seems popular hence i have uploaded a series of 4 in my gallery.... not for the faint hearted.

Thank you Adrian and Louis, but the fish guy shot seems to be the best from last gathering.

10th Nov is fine, I have to decide what to bring this time ...

OK, some more for you guys, still from the Jupiter-12 :

 

[Dingo]

And this cropped picture shows how well the J-12 performs in wide open and available indoor lightings, you can even see the serial no. of the lens !

 

[Mr Ho]

Well, finally picked up my three rolls. All three came out fine in prints, but the 1600 is super grainy in the scans. The two 400s are fine. So the following shots are from the 400 film. That's too bad because I got some good ones of the butcher and fish vendor as well, but they're too grainy to show here!

 

[Mr Ho]

And three more...

 

[Mr Ho]

And the final three for today (all from the 1600). See the grain?

 

[Mr Ho]

Okay, so I can't stop. These are the final ones for today! 🙄

It's true your J-12 is amazing. Equally as impressive, in some ways, as what Louis is holding in his hands!! 😉
