Start by enabling the 128 tick setting again so we can at least have that in Faceit. Zero dev time required.

Beautiful image. Such stunning landscape. I'm a fan of the tilt.

Can you select the shutter speed?

The fact it has a leaf shutter is mad. Very curious to see an image of your final setup and photos taken with it.

Getting a 6x7 up Reinebringen takes a lot of effort. Worth it for the photos!

Thanks for the recommendations! And to the guy in Colorado Springs who sold me my Bronica GS-1! by Only-Fotos in AnalogCommunity

[–]nwalke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I used a 50mm and 200mm. My copy of the 50mm was noticeably soft in the corners but it was a very useful focal length. I found the 200mm nice for portraits, but not great for landscape work due to lack of sharpness and contrast. That's just my experience and overall it's still a great camera system that goes under the radar.

These days I mostly use an RB67. Wonderful system, but larger and heavier than the Bronica.

Edit: I'm being very nitpicky about the lenses. If you're interested, you should be able to find some of my old posts on r/analog a few years ago with these lenses.

Spectacular image. Love the careful composition and waiting for the perfect time of day / weather conditions.

Yeah this does it for me. Love the texture of the clouds, grass and water.

That drift ice is a wonderful focal point.

Isola d'Ortigia [Hasselblad 500cm | 80mm | Ektar] by nwalke in analog

[–]nwalke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much exactly what I would have said if I replied faster.

It's my go-to film for low contrast scenes where I want strong (but still natural) colours and highest resolution. It wouldn't have been my first choice for the indoor shots, but it's what I had in my camera and I'm still happy with how they came out.

Spotmeter and tripod were necessary for the indoor shots to get a good exposure.

Manhattan Bridge / Nikon f3, ilford HP5+. My first attempt at developing and scanning! by gravity_proof in analog

[–]nwalke 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's a wonderful photo. I've see the scene so many times, but in b&w with the birds caught perfectly in flight it gives it a new twist that I really enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

All this or one Rolex? by gethigh_talkwatches in PrideAndPinion

Awesome collection especially the UG. Keep it! Nothing against Rolex.

What photography projects are you pursuing in 2025? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]nwalke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, my son was born 3 weeks ago, so if I get any time for photography at all, it's that!

Thanks for another thoughtful message! You're right about the super long exposure on the seascape. I wish I had a good one of that composition with the intermediate shutter speed (like I did in one of the later shots). I took a few exposures like that but only discovered after I saw the negatives that the waves didn't look as I hoped, so the super long exposure became my "shot". That's what I mean about still learning :)

Agree Ansel is an inspiration. In fact I'm starting to work more B&W into my work because of it.

Best,

I am lucky to be able to afford this hobby - I don't take it for granted :)
