Some recent TLR photos... (Rollei, Yashica)

[ishpop]

I am definitely in love with Medium Format since acquiring these two cams. I even ordered a Bronica S2A the other day for a great price (yes, it was a GAS attack, but had to try that Nikkor lense).

Here are a few shots from recent weeks:

Next Stop: Hasselblad. They are coming down in price.

Some really nice shots there. I particularly liked the 1st and 2nd Rollei shots, and the 1st and 3rd Yashica shots.

Yeah, I've been watching auctions. I guess at a certain point I just need to leave the computer screen and use the gear I got. But I do envy the Hasselblads. Not sure if it is a 50% leap in quality, but maybe enough to make me go down that road at some point.

🙂

Actually my next step will be pinhole, really excited to do some landscape pinhole stuff in Arizona and Oregon.

Thanks! I used Ektachrome E100VS for all of these i believe except the corn shot which is Portra NC.

Good work. Takes me back to my Rolleicord days. Isn't the last picture in particular too saturated?

 

[VictorM.]

Really nice pictures! All except the last show an awareness of colour and colour contrast that not everyone sees.

 

[GErvin]

I like the first Yashica one.

You've certainly got a great eye for shots, those are absolutely fantastic!

Appreciate the feedback everyone~ 🙂 It's interesting, the last Yashica photo, I didn't bump the saturation at all. Certainly, color correction on these scans is no joke, I definitely am trying to match the color temps to what my contact sheet look like, but the shot was quite underexposed and since it was E100VS, its indeed "very saturated".

I hope I can get better at this scanning and color correcting process. i might try Vuescan and a workflow I read about instead of the free Epson stuff I am using (along with Lightroom).
