Hi Tony , Thank you. I go out for 15 minutes , take 36 exposures in 10 minutes and go back to home and wait 1 , 2 months for another 10 minutes. Thats all I invested in photography. I repeat the same photographs because I dont go more than 300 meters from my home.Green hose was a experimentation for corner quality and sensivity to the pure colors. I ordered development of 7 rolls taken in past 5 years and what terrible photographs. Leica is good but dont like contrasty daylight or evening light. Ordinary photographs resulted with poor quality with all of my 6 Leicas. When you give it attention , it gives attention to you and gives excellent results but this is not possible with 10 minutes nowadays. Film is expensive and they started to charge for scanning and doubles the cost. This makes me sick. I did not like the 200 asa Kodak and I hate new Ektar. Portra is good but very expensive.I think I need a real camera like Contax and Planar , I checked the prices and similar to expensive Leica. I think with this film colors , expensive and poor quality development , poor quality scanning , color photography long gone for me.I have a Polaroid 350 and I will use AGFA paper and we will see. I am thinking to carry it with a dark bag , tripod and cut paper and goUmut
Very nice abstract. And, I kind of like the green hose across the corner. You need to venture further out, and show us more results.Edit: I looked at your gallery. You have some very good work - don't discount yourself. Can you do B&W where you live? That would be a way to control your own quality.
Hi bsdunek , Thank you for your kind words , all of my good work done when I was an member of society in real time long before the internet and when I was not caring about money. Things changed , now photography makes me feel guilty because we are drowning in debt. Yes , I can do BW where I live but I dont have money for paper and enlarger. The most important thing , I stucked in home and all my living zone is 300 meters diameter around my home. Well summer is coming and gov is building a new express highway and I will be able to go to city center fast with my mother. My mother and her happiness is more important than investing in Kodak , you know. I wish summer comes fast.I love my Polaroid camera and Cooke lens and resolving power and I am thinking to invest 11*14 Adox MCC paper cut 200 smaller pieces and use half of them as negative and other as positive. This seems to me the only way for bigger than MF BW Photography.Thank you for reading ,Umut
