I like specially the second photo, the path in the fog.
I'd like to take photos in the fog, but here there's no fog, almost never.
There's wind, almost ever.

So, all the pictures in there was taken with a Bronica ERTsi with a 75mm 2.8 wide open. I really really like blurry things... Very Happy

This camera is really my best friend... Soon, it gonna have a little brother called Leica M6; I hunger to test this new baby...soon...soon Rolling Eyes

I really don't use photoshop to modify my pictures ; I taken a resolution when I work with film : I do only what an enlarger can do... The only exeption is the dirt and the scratch removal ; that's all.

Here is the first one ; The name is La fée which me The fairie. The film is Kodak 400 NC Portra with a +2 push.


This one is called Symphonie en bleu mineur which mean Symphony in minor blue. I'm french, i know...canadian french Very Happy. The film was also Kodak 400 NC Portra.


This one is particular ; this was really only a test... I've used a really old Agfa 160 portrait that I had in my refregerator and I've tested a +3 push... This was stupid ; almost all my pictures on this film was destroyed except this one and another that I also really like. The name is Peeking.


So that's it! I hope to see your other great masterpieces too!
