Bessa on the beach

I'll post a few as I scan and work them. I actually loaded the Bessa I on the beach (dumb, but the light leaks aren't bad) with Ilford Pan-F+, which is an ASA 50 film. I used a Series VI lens hood and vintage polarizer "Pioneer Polaroid" which is slightly brown. Development in D76 1:1, Epson 4490 scan. Voigtlander Bessa I Vaskar 6x9 folder. Focus and exposure via educated guess. This is daughter Lilly and her friend, the two of them do some excellent photography together.

You'd lost me there... right until that last sentence Laughing It works for me though.

Stunning tonal range and 3D ...

Thanks - I'm not sure I got quite what I wanted, I 'focused' on the tidal pool and branch.

The couple walking in the bottom pic, despite the relative distance, have 3D pop, too.

No longer on the beach, and no more vintage polarizer...

I love this one, it is the kind of sea picture that I long to make - where the shore seems infinite.

Amazing sharpness in the non-beach pic ...

Thank you, thank you... it was funny, as this was the first time I used the vintage polarizer, it's a bit brown rather than neutral... so at the beach I decided on b&w instead of color. In retrospect, color film would have done well too, next time.

Here's a windmill under restoration

This is a wonderfully alive shot. That bird makes it ...
