Frozen leaves

Of course, scanned as a transparency.

That seemed to work !

Beautiful and pleasing, Raphael! I didn't comprehend what the problem with using fomapan 200 is, but what a great image! I have tried, and failed to take "frosty" images - never come out looking good. I love especially how the frost has accentuated every line, ridge and edge of every leaf and blade of grass so perfectly. It practically makes a "picture in a picture"

While this is just a scan, there is nothing finer than staring at beautiful transparencies - the light coming through the clear base and scintillating through the emulsion is not at all print-able. This frame must look especially nice in person.

I have a black iris with unbelievable glimmer in the petals that i can only enjoy on the 4x5 trans on a light box. And a transparency with rather large icicles as well that just does not work as nice as a print (both color).

@pentaxpete @michaelorr many thanks for commenting.

Michael, thanks again for your kind words. The problem with this roll of Fomapan I bought in a 10 pack, is that they seem all affected by the "paper-back transfer" (or offset-paper) problem, where backing paper seems to stick to film and transfer artifacts (like printed numbers) to emulsion.

There is a lot of running threads about this problem in our B&W forum, notably about TMax 400 120 rolls. In my case, I don't think it's a manufacturing problem, it's rather because I stupidly stored them in a damp environment.

In this photo, given the subject, the problem is just completely invisible. I will post ASAP in the gallery another shot from the same roll where the problem is obvious.

You are right about the radiant beauty of B&W transparency. That's the first time I do B&W reversal, and it's beautiful to see when you hang the film. This shot was particularly striking my eye on the light table.
