After a lot of weeks/months of absence I'm back.
This is one of my first shot with medium format camera: mamiya 645-1000S with mamiya Sekor 55/2.8.
I was on Sicily for 2 months last summer due to work and I decide to take mamiya with me at last minute. Unfortunately I haven't found 120 film over all central and west part of Sicily. Only 2 rolls of Fuji Pro 160NS.
The subject is the "Chiesa Grande" of architect Ludovico Quaroni on Gibellina Nuova. The "old" Gibellina was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1968 and after some years, people decide to rebuild the town on other place, at 25km far from the original Gibellina.

Thank you Attila.
I forgot to write that the image is a scan of print (made with a multi functional printer with flat scanner).
I must begin b&w as soon as possible Laughing

I like that building, it has something surrealistic.
Lighting in the last photo is really beautiful, and only film can render it properly
(digital for this type of shots is way behind)

Thank you Orio.
Unfortunately this pictures have more problems.
First of all: the bad work of laboratory during the printing process. A lot of images have green or magenta dominant and they print after scan negative film I think (there's a lot of signs over prints).
2nd: my falt multi-functional scanner/print

Ok, but still, what I see here:



is beautiful, and only film can give this feeling.
