After 73 days over 30C we took a drive into the mountains, down a misty road:

Walked along the tracks:

The three of us set up to wait for the next train. Coming out of the cutting, I snapped some Type-665:

Running along the flat ArtsyKen used some FP-3000:

And The German used one of those computer thingies:

Interesting to see the three side-by-side. All shot within ten seconds of each other. See ya! Skj.

nice set skorj! I particalarly like the first and third. there's some nice sense of solemn exploring in them.
as you said, interesting to see each different individuals (and cameras) take on the same subject :)

What a great story! I love all the different images. I find it really fascinating because in class we were all just discussing the differences between color and black and white and why an artist would choose one over the other because of how it affects the viewer, but no discussion has been made yet on how a specific type of processing can affect the image. Seeing the different films and the digital all lined up like this, all taken in the same place with the same subject used, makes it pretty easy to see the differences between each process and the impact is immediate. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!!

looks like a great day to shoot! wish i could have been with...
-
Perfect weather, perfect ambiance! I am absolutely in love with that first image!
-
I love the quality of the two instant film types. I also really like small trains like railbuses.
-
Looks and sounds like a great day. The first and third do it for me.
-
I agree with Mojave; I have not been in a classroom for a while, though ::)
-
very nice set. first shot is amazing
-
Skorj, I love the first shot of the misty forest path and the 665 of the train. Tell Juergen that the computer thingy will never catch on. Whoever thinks that taking a photo with a computer is a good idea needs their head examining.
;D

Ha! Thanks all. It was nice to be out in the country and watch the mists flow past. Here's a short movie that does a reasonable job on the feeling of train photography in the Japanese mountains:
locomotion-a-short-movie-about-the-patience-of-train-photographers (http://juergenspecht.posterous.com/locomotion-a-short-movie-about-the-patience-o).
Only download or watch though if you're in a medative mood. Its not the sort of thing for the 3-second MTV generation (can you still say that?). See ya! Skj.
(It was a four minute download here in Japan, and anyone without DSL should perhaps not contemplate the wait.)

nicely done Mark.
-
These are lovely. Third one down is my favourite, love the storyline.
-
They are a superb ! Did you use a roll-film thingy for the first two ?
There is a very tangible atmosphere is those two. Even the one who went directly to the scan without using a negative is quite nice.
-
first two look like the bessa to me? too wide for the gr1 maybe.
-
I adore the first one!
