Stone, I really like your seascape, especially the blurry, but still recognizable, folks on the next outcropping.
Flying Camera - your night shot panoramas are impressive. Thanks for submitting another.

Thanks!

Thanks Ratty! Perfect for Public Spaces!

Ratty, I must have spent 10 minutes staring at this photo in the gallery. It brought back memories of my visits to Rome. It didn't even occur to me that it's perfect for this MSA.

We're going on vacation soon... I'll work on mine when we get home. I made a test print a couple weeks ago but didn't want to share it because there were just too many flaws. But I'll give it another try in a few weeks. Have fun everyone!

RMIT Capitol Theatre, Melbourne, Australia
The coloured ceiling lights had only just been re-installed, and turned on for the first time since 2003 in this nearly 90 year old art deco theatre - so I brought my Wista into work for these two snaps! Just in time for the Melbourne International Film Festival, which started yesterday!
Wista DX45III and Nikon 65mm f/4 lens on Kodak Portra 160 with an 80A filter.

Marc!

Flying Camera, another great shot. Love the movement of the passersby.
Marc, thanks, these are terrific; and LF too!
The MSA doesn't usually attract a lot of colour images, so kudos to both of you, and Ratty.
Anyone else working on something?

I recently was on a trip to Paris and as all tourists do, I went to Notre Dame.

As soon as I got in I realized it was Sunday and it was a catholic mass going on. Really silent and calm mood despite the tourist attraction it really is.

When the mass ended, the priest took that giant crucifix and walked away and at the same time the tungsten lights was dimmed.

It was a really cool moment and I was lucky enough to have my 50mm 1.8 lens on the camera to capture it. Hope you like it!

Another great shot from Europe. Thanks siompa. Could you upload the photo to this thread to make it easier for all of us to see it?

Siompa · Aug 1, 2014

Thanks!
Don't know how good the resolution is though, away from home and only got my phone.

Siompa that came up just fine.

Vophex- what great graphics to your image. The MSA is honoured to get your first post here.

Here's another one, was taken above the gift shop in the national museum in Paris.

Taken with canon a-1, 20 mm 2.8 lens, Agfa vista plus 400 film

sly · Aug 2, 2014

Well the colour just keeps on popping!
Another terrific entry from Flying Camera. I can hear that subway train, even though it is decades since the last time I rode one.
Siompa, that's a wonderful bird's eye view of the gift shop.

Isn't this an old shot? Didn't we talk about this with my Kodachrome image of the same place and how blue it seemed? Or is this new and that's someone else? Either way it's the DC subway.

Yes, it's an old shot, but I don't think we discussed this in context of Kodachrome. But yes, it is the DC Metro, specifically Gallery Place station, looking at the Red Line train going west.

So replace it with this one:

This is the Toronto Subway, I forget which station, maybe Spadina? Kodak Ektar 100.

Oh, I've got two I think that I liked but this is the one I was thinking of (not a submission because it wasn't shot this month but in December 2010 on Kodachrome, the long exposure turned the ceiling blue, it wasn't until a year or so later when I saw your shot that I realized the ceiling wasn't blue/grey but white... Hah!

The blue/grey color in yours is from the fluorescent/sodium vapor lamps used to light the platforms. They give that color cast without corrective filtering.

Oh! So in yours you used the correct filter? Is that the standard fluorescent lighting filter? I have one, have never used it as I don't photograph inside much. And if I do it's not people, so it's not as much a concern, It's one of the few filters I actually had with me on the trip. My circular polarizer that had been my fathers that came with my AE-1 (which I've recently found the original receipt and warrantee card to from the late 70's I believe) literally fell apart when I got to Dwayne's photo in 2010 on the 30th of December, I don't know how, I went to turn it and the whole thing just went to pieces! It was ... Appropriate and I took it as a good sign of the end of an era...

Anyway thanks for clarifying, I like the blue tone, but always thought that was Kodachrome shift in long exposures...
