The leaf shadows uses the texture in the bark to give a more 3D feel to the photo. These tools date from the 1930вЂ™s when my father was apprenticed to become a carpenter. I gathered some of my late fatherвЂ™s tools together and arranged them on a plywood base again using sunlight to achieve some contrast. I used a yellow / green filter to capture the sky detail and render the grassland effectively. These views of Long Dale in Derbyshire was taken in sunlight but with an interesting sky.

The film is rated at 160 ISO so using my equipment IвЂ™ll rate this at 125 ISO in future.ДЄs to the results IвЂ™ll talk about each one in turn. I did the same with the Scala and found it tended to block up a little. When I use colour slide film I usually underexpose by 1/3 stop. The Special was the meterless version of the Contarex Bullseye and has the ability to replace the prism with a waist level finder. These cameras are large and heavy and a bit quirky to use but the lenses are as good as my Leica lenses of today. To add to the nostalgia of using this I loaded up my Zeiss Ikon Contarex Special with the film. IвЂ™ve had my first roll of Scala processed by Silverpan who has recently changed their process and now the slides have a good, neutral base tone. Good news to those interested in this fascinating media is that Adox have re-introduced it and Analogue Wonderland are selling it here. YouвЂ™ll gather from this that IвЂ™m still a big user of film, mainly colour slide and B&W negative material but I used to use Agfa Scala back in the 1970s 80s and 90s until it disappeared. IвЂ™ve then added lots more marques and models I have an understanding wife! Since then IвЂ™ve gathered lots more Leica MвЂ™s and RвЂ™s but I kept all my previous cameras. I then tried a Leica M6 and was so impressed with how it put me in touch with my subjects. I was however getting frustrated with the complexity of models such as the F90 that seemed to get in the way of my picture taking.

I moved to Nikon in the late 1970вЂ™s early 1980s and stayed with Nikon until about 1997. A bit of background, IвЂ™ve been taking photos for more than 50 years starting with Prakticas (models FXII, IV and V) using a Prakticamat for many years, then a Chinon Memotron.
