With great pleasure to watch your photos. Great depth of field, bokeh and extraction from the shadows.
Wonderful! I wish I had the time to use film, that’s the only thing holding me back.
I’m not entirely sure what is going on here, but I sure like it. (Dare I let my heart dream??)
🙂
This is a great great shot…it has a “frantically-playing-child-slash-Lord-of-the-Flies” look about it.
And the focus and composition is perfect.
Excellent!
Which film?

B&W film Simply the best
That’s the problem when you view images on a iPhone and iPad nevertheless I should have picked it.
It can be tricky.
Full disclosure:
Despite the name of this image, this was not taken with a Rolleiflex.
This was created with an M9 (My Camera of the Year for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and – so far – 2014) and a Noctilux.
So, if you haven’t already done so, please consider signing My Open Letter to Leica where I humbly request a new CCD sensor for a future Leica M camera (150 signatures so far…).

By the way, I thought the non-square crop would have been a certain give-away that this was not created by a Rolleiflex, but I guess many of you figured I had cropped the image to these proportions…
…it’s a dirty little trick!!
But I knew it was too good to be true.
(In any case, you had me fooled…Nice processing).

Mark, it’s good of you to be honest about that – thank you.
Well I wouldn’t have known the difference……though I was thinking/wondering how you had composed this with a viewfinder that sits on the top of the camera!??
I thought you must have tweeked a lot to make film look digital, pleased to read I was sort of right)
A classic and timeless shot. Perfect processing. Really wonderful. To me a very analog feel.
What a most beautiful image – and a most beautiful expression. This is a keeper. It’s in your top 1%.
