I'm attending a course in portrait photography, if anything worthwhile comes out of that I will also post it. I had some trouble with Neopan 1600 and hard contrast. It turns out that T-max developer is too hard for this film. I'm now using am74 from Amaloco. This is already much better but I think it can be improved even more. I will try some more developers and see what will happen Like Nathan i visited the Winogrand exhibition in Amsterdam. I must say that I was really impressed by his pictures. There were also a few form Lee Friedlander and these are also superb. During the visit i shot some pictures on Neopan 1600 and on Agfa 400. Unfortunate I exposed the Agfa at 1600. This is not recommended but most of the pictures are oke with longer developing and some photoshopping. All pictures are made with a M6 with the 50/1.4 or the 28/2.8. The first picture is actually the first picture of the roll, you know, when you fire twice to get the unexposed part of the film. I always fire one too much and now i think I got a nice picture with it. This time I couldn't resist to make a self portrait together with a picture of the 'Pink man'. There is also a picture of my two daughters which of course are the most beautiful and sweet girls on earth. But I think the picture is nice by itself even if you are not the father of them. If you disagree I really like to hear it. Any other comment is also welcome and appreciated. http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/winogrand/index.htm Best regards, Michiel Fokkema
