Taken on Brighton Pier last weekend in very thick fog and mist that gave the light a wonderfully difuse glow.

I just love the otherness of Brighton. There’s only one way of life and that’s your own….

And I just love the colour saturation of this portrait. I was a little on the back foot as having persuaded her to pose, I then asked what she did for a living. Turns out I’d done a train spotting.

I had fun this morning. Brighton beach is a veritable aquarium of life early on a Sunday morning. Early bird swimmers braving the water and saturday night revellers spilling out from the clubs after an all night party mix on the pebble beach. Sunrise this morning was 6.30am.

A business trip to Barcelona meant I had a few hours to myself late afternoon. The light was very strong but because it’s still only April and it was 4pm, low in the sky. The buildings were creating lovely strong contrast and pools of very bright light, perfect for making great shapes in street photography.

Greg, the detail from that SL is very nice. Colours changed much from the OOC JPG?
Hi Greg, yes, I am very pleased with the results from the SL; I think it’s probably more to do with the lens than the camera (as I think it is in almost all cases) although of course the key thing here is that the SL and its sensor is entirely matched and compatible with Leica M-mount lenses. These images are shot with a 35mm Summicron, which has a rightly deserved reputation.
I do shoot in RAW but have done very little with these images compared to the basic RAW file. I don’t tend to do much PP anyway and withe these images I did even less than usual. All I did was adjusted the tone curve to slightly increase the contrast and tweaked the white balance very slightly to cool the images a little (but it really was a very minor tweak.)
I think the impact that you can get from OOC with images is a whole lot more impressive when you have a lot of light. If you look at the best examples of iPhone images for instance, the best are all taken in really good light. Good light hides a multitude of camera sins I think!
At the other end of the spectrum to the SL, I’ve shot with slide reversal film for the first time (ever – I never even shot slide film before when I shot film previously).
I don’t know why I left it so long. I just luuuuurve this look! Fujifilm Provia 100:

It’s been with me for a while – from 70s Polaroid as a kid to Fuji slide film in the 90s to digital now, I’ve always been drawn to the unnatural (one way or another) in colour and tone where photography’s concerned.

Ooh I’m all with you there; I love that kind of stuff as well. Any reason not to continue loving that using film though? Apologies, I wasn’t being rude, I just got a bad case of the HDR hives. It’s a bit like eating sugar out of the packet.
Interestingly, I don’t do (faux) HDR any more. It’s all ‘manual’ processing. Admittedly the end result is visually not a million miles away from a dodgy HDR filter effect…
And (sadly) i don’t own a 35mm camera any more. I imagine at some point i might get another one, but digital only right now…
