Southern Portugal on TMax 100

[Bingley]

Our recent trip to Portugal and Spain included some time in the Alentejo Region. Here's a sample of photos. All were taken on TMax 100 and developed in HC 110.

The hilltop town of Montsarraz:

Enchanting....lush & rich, The Landscape & the Film
Lovely way to see The World, with Tmax !!

Its now my Favorite Film, though i use 400
Must experiment with 100

Which developer are You using

 

[Bingley]

Thanks, Helen. I'm using HC 110, dilution h.

 

[helen.HH]

Silly me ...just noticed going over the photos you mentioned HC110 / ahhh dilution h
Will look that up , Thanks

 

[Bingley]

It's the "unofficial" dilution, one-half of dilution b, and double the time (as a starting point).

Great series of photos, Steve. For some reason, though, they look even better on your flickr site.

Thank, Joe. I have a flickr contact who said he thought the photos looked better on iPernity. Go figure.

You have done an excellent job here, Steve.
I was thinking yesterday about using B&W in my next trip.

 

[Bingley]

Thank you, Raid. I took about 50-50 bw and color on ths trip. Outside of Lisbon, most of the color film was shot with my Oly XA, and the bw with the Leica.

Steve
I have been closely following your posts , and I must compliment you for the very nice series of photos from my country.
Keep posting !
Regards
Joao
PS- allow me a slight correction: the "olive press" is actually a deep water well with a device ("nora") that brings water upwards trough a chain of small iron buckets - those are visible in the photo; it is powered by an engine or, as in the past, by an animal (ox, donkey).

Thank you, Joao! You have a beautiful country and we look forward to returning to see more of it. And thanks for the correction on the "olive press".

beautiful Steve. Did you tell which Leica/lens combos?

Lovey tonality and composition! Thanks for sharing.

I'm with Helen--TMax is now my favorite b&w film and has been for a while. I use both 100 and 400 and think they are both wonderful. I develop them in D76.

Nice images.. I used to live the winter time in Algarve, Moncarapacho... Nice region

beautiful Steve. Did you tell which Leica/lens combos?

Thanks, Huub. All of the photos were taken with an M4-2. The photos in Evora were taken with a Canon 35/2.0 (second version). All the others were taken with a Canon 50/1.8.
