I use different material, contax G1 with 90mm, leica with 40 mm, praktica with 28mm and rollei for 6/6, and before I was using some reflex minolta, nikon, now some randgfinder camera and 1 reflex. I scan with with a minolta dual scan IV, massaging with photoshop for the high light and the low light, contrast... for the laboratory , film process is rodinal or calbe 49, sometimes ilfotec lc 29 and always push prosess for every film ( kodak Tri X 400 ) to 1600-6400 iso. thanks for your comments... cheers Signature------------ olivier 128 rue du chemin vert 75011 http://perso.wanadoo.fr/olivier.desmats > Olivier, > Pas mal du tout ;-0 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Cheers, > Marcel >for the laboratory , film process is rodinal or calbe 49, sometimes ilfotec >lc 29 and always push prosess for every film ( kodak Tri X 400 ) to >1600-6400 iso. I missed this before posting my other message, and it answers all of my questions. But brings up another: calbe 49 ??? I tried searching with google, but you can rest assured that your English is better than my French or German. It is also a large grain developer? -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@apaflo.com hi, yes it's a large grain developer, it's the same composition as rodinal agfa, and^push process with ilfotec lc 29 ( like triX at 6400 iso ) cheers.

Keep up the excellent work Oliver. > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > > http://perso.wanadoo.fr/olivier.desmats > More crap from another moron. UC, You don't seem to ever put two words together without being insulting: "Moron, fuckwit. pretentious tripe", ad nauseam... (see below). I've also been on many other newsgroups you participate in and it's the same story. I find your attitude boring. There's practically nothing you say that's constructive. I wonder why you participate in those groups. I suppose your wife is castrating and you get it out on newsgroups ;-)))))) People like you are long on insults and short on imagination and wit. Cheers!

You can judge for yourself whether "UC" (i.e., Michael Scarpitti) is in any position to label the works of others as "execrable, pretentious‚ ill–conceived‚ vacuous‚ and ugly crap" by viewing his images at: http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/ILFOPRO/MemberGallery.asp?membername=Micha el+Scarpitt N. Rile http://normanrileyphotography.com -- NER Just learn to "blow off" commentators like UC. Express what you want to in your images. There are plenty of photographers who will give you really knowledgeable critiquing of your work. To hell with those people whose best images look like they were with a P&S camera. > Just learn to "blow off" commentators like UC. Express what you want to > in your images.

That stuff is pretentious crap and you know it. I seem to recall that he was young. Did you you ever experiment with anything over time? UC, maybe you are different than the rest of us. We grew our tastes, experiences, and preferences in art over time. Criticism is fair game for any of us who choose to make what we do public.You may not like his work, but it is a far cry from your assault as "crap". > I seem to recall that he was young.

We > grew our tastes, experiences, and preferences in art over time. > Criticism is fair game for any of us who choose to make what we do > public.You may not like his work, but it is a far cry from your assault > as "crap". I see the same crap over and over: grain, blur, excessive contrast, etc. It gets REALLY old after a while. Yes, I did some experimenting and pushing when I was young, but I never produced anything like this crap. Yup, just as I thought.The "when I was young" bit. You sound like every bit of it, an old "fuddle duddle" with the future in his past ;-))))))) The blasé. The "I have seen it all". Dude, you said it all. Merry Xmas just the same. In a way, you are becoming sympathetic... Marcel > > I seem to recall that he was young. Did you you ever experiment with > > anything over time? UC, maybe you are different than the rest of us. We [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Yes, I did some experimenting and pushing when I was young, but I never > produced anything like this crap. The trouble is, as each generation goes through this phase, the crap gets worse... Marcel Thank you very much. Yes, I am certain of UC's identify. Michael distinguishes himself by his unique conduct in every forum he visits. In reality, he is a peddler of fonts: http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/ILFOPRO/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=661 http://phorums.com.au/archive/index.php/t-33462.htm http://www.myfonts.com/person/scarpitti/michael http://www.fontcraft.com/scriptorium/bios.htm -- NER Hello, Michael N. Rile http://normanrileyphotography.com -- NER To make just one good photograph before my time is up -- NER >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >comments are welcomes, thanks After seeing some of the idiotic insults... I decided to actually look and see what you had. Here are the ones I happen to like, Portraits: 2nd from top, and 2nd from the bottom City: 3rd from top City 2: 6th from top Stage: 1st, 5th, 6th, and 10th down from top Stage 2: 2nd, 7th, 8th from top I really don't like many of your images. Which is hardly amazing, but given that... Your perception of art is clearly very different than mine so it really surprized me to see you both displaying some of those images that are so far from my tastes, and yet have so many that cross over into what I do like. Which brings up a couple of questions... what kind of details go along with your images? What kind of film? What are you doing to emphasize all of that grain? (I can't do darkroom work anymore, but once upon a time I spent a few years playing with 35mm Tri-X developed in Agfa Rodinal. Won't say I miss chemicals, but I do miss the effects of Rodinal.) -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@apaflo.com > I really don't like many of your images. Which is hardly > amazing, but given that...

Photographs ARE NOT and CANNOT BE works of art! When these morons get that through their THICK SKULLS, then maybe, just MAYBE they can make some good photographs! >Photographs ARE NOT and CANNOT BE works of art! When these morons get >that through their THICK SKULLS, then maybe, just MAYBE they can make >some good photographs! People like you always give me a good laugh.

You're just like all the other imbecile photographers. Uneducated poor white trash from trailer parks. >> I really don't like many of your images. Which is hardly >> amazing, but given that...

Speaking of a thick skull... -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@apaflo.com Michael, you need to double up on your halperidol. Afterward, perhaps you could tell us why photography cannot be an art, vs. merely asserting your curious and minority point of view on this matter. How is it that two individuals using essentially the same materials and having equivalent skills (e.g., you and Oliver Desmats) produce vastly different results (we can all plainly see that his results are vastly superior to yours). As for being classified as a "hack" by you, I should consider that a compliment. You did, afterall, at Cafe Ilfopro, label A. Adams as a "bearded lunatic. -- NER |
