Way to really show off Provia. Great use of color and nice composition. I like this.

Many thanks. Just a simple shot, but as you say the colours are everything with this one.

I was given a cassette of ROLLEI RETRO 400S which I found out is an 'Aerial Survey film', contrasty and with extended RED Sensitivity so I experimented with different developers. First cut length in my Home-Made FX-37 diluted 1+9 showed lack of shadow details and high highlight contrast so I mixed some DIAFINE 2-Bath to a Formula in my notes and gave 5 mins in each -- I got 400ASA and better negs. I also tried a YELLOW and RED Filter CAMERA : CHINON CG-5 + 50mm f1.9 auto-Chinon lens

This is a nice picture. It gets my eye to move around to take it all in. The good thing about it is that you could also crop it into a few other nice closeups as well.

These are nice shots. I wonder if you need to increase the shutter speed or use a tripod.

Thankyou Alan. Appreciate it.

I have to shoot on 400ASA film, even in plain daylight, and when using a (orange-) filter which is 'eating' stops, as my hands aren't that stable anymore after a health issue, the weight of a Hasselblad isn't sufficient to compensate, and a tripod is too cumbersome to lug around...

The image was 'prepared' in LRC: a little sharpening and no noise reduction nor added grain structure, and no interfering in the contrast, just 'opening' the shadows a little and somewhat reducing the highlights.

Still to grainy for a 400ASA film/developer combination, but an interesting tonality, for a contre-jour anyway...
On the other hand, grain, and emulsion structure, are so inherent with the kind of film is used, that it is questionable to try to 'hide' it as it is part of the message...
But I will no more shoot Bergger...

Sorry to hear about the health issue. I have trouble with my right arm and now almost always use a monopod, even in full daylight.

Thanks for your concern!

I have tried a monopod, and it was not good: a kind of 'strange horizontal shake', lesser mobility and the image had a 'feeling' of a lame dynamic because the monopod prevented me from pointing the camera as I wanted it, if you understand what I am trying to say...
Anyway, that feeling of a static image would occur with a tripod too.
I need to move around when making photos, no zoomlens, my feet are the zoom...

If you use a monopod, it is useful to have a ballhead or something similar on it.
That permits having the camera vertical, while the monopod is angled to put the camera back into your centre chest (WLF) or forehead (eye level finder).
Essentially it helps you make a tripod out of the monopod and your legs.

Yes, I had a kind of a tripod head on it with which I could level the camera.
And, as you said, I could make a tripod of it with my legs, but it's just one of these legs that causes the problem...

What I do now, is making some kind of one whole sturdy unit of my body-and-camera, a 'monolith' as my wife calls it, and concentrate on my balance and breathing.
