‘Moving the majority of the
museum’s photography collection
away from Yorkshire goes against
government policy when the
museum was opened – to
put facilities outside London
– and against the present
government’s claimed “northern
powerhouse” strategy.
‘A number of us who have
deposited our photographs in
the museum did so specifically
because we wanted our work
to be preserved in the north.’
The collection includes
the world’s earliest surviving
photographic negative, created
by William Henry Fox Talbot.
And Fox Talbot Museum curator
Roger Watson is among the
prominent figures opposing
the move to Bradford, as is
the film director Mike Leigh
and actors Timothy West
and Prunella Scales.
Resistance to the impending
relocation from the NMM was
reported by AP in February
(see News, AP 20 February).
Initial anger at the Science
Museum Group’s plan was then
voiced in a public petition against
‘cultural asset stripping’ of the
West Yorkshire institution.
It has since been confirmed
that the archive to be transferred
contains 270,000 images, 6,000
pieces of camera equipment,
26,000 books and periodicals,
plus 10,000 items of archival
materials that chart the invention
and development of photography
over the past 200 years.
The trustees of the Science
Museum Group have decided to
review the move of 85,000 of
the 400,000 objects they cited
in their original announcement.
The precious collection has been
held at the NMM in Bradford since
2003, when the institution was
called the National Museum of
Photography, Film and Television.
Before then, it was housed at the
RPS’s base in Bath.

Tony Kemplen
The Rollei XF 35 proves to be a rather
challenging piece of kit. The difficulty
is working out whether this is down
to age or poor design
I
really wanted to like the Rollei XF
35. It has a famous name, a fast
lens and looks like a classic camera,
but for various reasons it proved a
disappointment. The Rollei brand was born
out of the German company Franke &
Heidecke established in 1920. It went on to
make many of the iconic cameras of the
last century, but by 1970 manufacturing
costs in West Germany had become
uneconomical, and much of the production
was switched to Singapore. The XF 35
came off that production line between
1974 and 1980.
First impressions are of an attractively
designed, well-made, precision camera,
albeit one aimed at the snap-shooter end
of the market. With its fully automatic
exposure system, the only thing you need

to do is compose your shot and focus
using the built-in coupled rangefinder.
It felt nice and solid when I picked it up,
but that impression soon faded once
I started to use it. The wind-on feels fragile,
and as for the sound the shutter makes,
I’ve heard more robust noises from those
single-use disposable cameras you can
still find in cut-price shops!
The ‘pre-flight checklist’ that I go
through prior to using an unfamiliar
camera suggested that the exposure
meter was underexposing by around
3 stops, so I just set the ISO to 25 when
using ISO 200 film. The automatic-
exposure system is built around a
selenium sensor and selects a
combination of aperture and shutter
speed anywhere between 1/650sec at
f/16, to 1/30sec at f/2.3. This allows the

camera to operate in a useful range of
lighting conditions, although there is no
manual override so you can’t fine-tune the
settings to suit your subject. A small lever
on the underside of the lens selects ‘A’
for automatic, and ‘B’ for bulb (long
exposure). I assumed the B setting would
afford me the flexibility to cope in poor
light, but for some bizarre reason selecting
B also fixes the aperture at f/2.3, which
rather limits its usefulness.
Focusing using the coupled rangefinder
was easy enough, with no problem seeing
the little ghost image, but I lost several
exposures due to using the B setting
inadvertently. I must have nudged the
selection lever while adjusting the focus.
With ageing cameras, it can be difficult
to know if problems are related to poor
design or to the ravages of time. For
example, I’m pretty sure that the 3-stop
underexposure shown on the meter is
because the electronics are failing, but
whether the easily knocked B selector
was always like this, or has become loose
over time, I simply don’t know.
The 40mm Sonnar lens produced
good sharp images, as in the architectural
example above, but for me the camera was
let down by its cheap feel – I don’t think I’ll
be loading it up again any time soon.

teenager and ever since he has been collecting
cameras with a view to testing as many as he can.

ARTIST monographs are funny

dedicated to a set cadre of
master photographers, all of
whom have been analysed
endlessly. However, they are
great introductions to any
budding photographer looking to familiarise
themselves with the history of image making. This
volume from the always-reliable Aperture is a
worthy addition to any bookshelf. The real value is
looking at the ideas and techniques that have bled
into contemporary approaches to photography. Evans
was a photographer who set the path for countless
artists of today, a great number of whom find
themselves in a period of time that closely reflects
that slow decay of society. ★★★★★
Jimmy DeSana: Suburban
By Elisabeth Sussman, edited by Dan Nadel

THE WORK of Jimmy DeSana can,
it’s fair to say, be a little alienating if
you are unable to look past the odd
nature of the images. DeSana’s
staged photos of nude subjects in
a variety of poses, entwined with
everyday objects, are strange
and surreal, particularly when
combined with the gel-covered tungsten lights that
bathe them in almost-hallucinogenic colours. The
images are the ultimate evocation of a body objectified
and rendered as nothing more than a composition
component. Many have observed that, despite the
presence of nudes, the subjects become desexualised
through their arrangement in the images. The suburban
settings add another singular sense. ★★★★★

 Technique
‘I decided for best results
I had to use a DSLR
housing with a dome port’

frog that caught my imagination,

so I set out to create images that
gave a frog’s-eye view of the world.
I have always been a big fan of those
eye-catching images that mix the world
above and below the water. Described
variously as ‘half and half’, ‘split shots’
and ‘unders and overs’, I shall refer to
them as split shots, and they became
a central technique on this project.
My first challenge was to find a pond full
of frogs that had clear water. Luckily, I
found this just a few minutes’ drive from
home – a perfect spring-fed pool with no
overhanging trees.

Early trials
Initially I figured I could take the pictures
I wanted using one of the waterproof
compacts, or a compact and cheap
housing. I experimented with a friend’s
Nikon 1 AW1 to see how this might work,
but soon realised that having a relatively
small flat surface in front of the lens made
it really difficult to judge the waterline
with any accuracy. I also felt the quality
would not be quite good enough for
my needs.
I then explored using a bag designed for
a DSLR and bought a Ewa-Marine PVC
bag. This worked, although I was clumsy
with it as I found holding it level and
steady was challenging. However, with
practice this would have been a solution
to shooting these images on a budget.
For best results, though, I decided I had
to use a DSLR housing with a dome port.
I wanted to be able to use the housing on
a pole, so this had to be factored into my
choice. Housings typically range from
around £1,500 to many thousands. Cost

THERE is a lot more to think about when
shooting split shots than simply focusing and
taking the picture, whether it is all the little
accessories you need to take with you or
the technique you will need to employ on
site. I am still learning, but listed here are
some of the challenges I faced.

1 Topside interest
The pond is surrounded by just a few bushes
and trees, but I knew I needed to include
something above the water to help give
context. So I decided I would include a
distant tree or the tops of the dead
bulrushes within my compositions.

2 Weather and timing

As the pond was clear and the frogs were on
the surface, I chose not to use any artificial
light. However, this meant that the best time
to shoot was midday on sunny days. Light
penetration through water peaks when
the sun is at its highest. On visits earlier or
later in the day there wasn’t enough light
illuminating the frogs underwater, so I would
have had to use strobe lighting.

3 Aperture
The frogs tended to lay motionless on the
water surface, so I could often use quite slow
shutter speeds. This was necessary to avoid
a high ISO, as I commonly needed to use an
Dome ports allow aperture of f/16 to ensure sufficient depth of
you to achieve field above and below the surface.
straight waterlines
for split shots 4 Manual or automatic?
At midday the auto shots were fine as there
was no more than 1∕2 -stop difference
between the underwater and topside
scene. When I encountered a stop or more
difference, I exposed for the surface scene,
then lightened the underwater area later in
Photoshop. For pictures shot underwater,
I simply set the camera in auto and always
pre-focused the lens to around 20cm and
taped it in place in case it moved.

5 Water droplets
I hate spending longer than I need
processing my images, so I studiously
avoided water droplets on the dome
port that could seriously spoil the topside
view. Some photographers smother
baby shampoo over their dome to keep
droplets off. I took a sponge and wiped
it when I needed to keep it clear.

the intricacies of doing it properly.
Understanding dome ports and the
physics behind them was challenging in
itself. Deciding which lens to use was
something I needed to do before I
purchased my housing. There is a mass of
information and discussion on the internet
regarding the merits and disadvantages of
using certain lenses.
For split shots, it seemed the wider the
better. I initially planned to use my Nikon
14-24mm f/2.8 and bought a lens port,
which is a metal extension between the
housing and dome so the lens fits. This
was a mistake as it suddenly made my
set-up rather heavy, and quite hard to
control when put on my makeshift pole.
I later learned that this lens is not ideal

joe cornish’s favourite britain

Right: The Cuillin

beyond Loch
Scavaig, on the
Isle of Skye

National
treasures Joe Cornish’s new book is a selection of
personal favourite locations around britain.
Making the images has been a journey of
discovery, he tells David Clark

A
t a time when we’re
concerned about
overpopulation, as
well as the erosion and
destruction of the countryside, it’s
easy to forget the wealth of unspoilt
landscapes that Britain offers.
The mainland’s relatively small
surface area encompasses great
diversity, from the wild and remote
mountains of Scotland to the lush
pastures of southern England, and
is bounded by just over 11,000 miles
of extremely varied coastline.
In addition to Britain’s natural
geographical and geological
variation, the landscape is peppered
with locations of historical interest:
ancient stone circles and hill forts,
and, from the more recent past,
landscapes, is definitely an asset.
Admittedly, a bit more sunshine
would not go amiss, but the marked
seasonal variations, along with
stormy skies, snow, frost and fog,
all help to make great pictures.
That diversity of landscape,
location and weather is celebrated
in This Land, a new book by
Joe Cornish. A collaboration with
writer and campaigner Roly Smith,
who provides the text, it’s an
exploration of 50 of their favourite
locations in Britain. Joe points out
that this is not simply a collection of
images of the most famous. Instead,
he’s keen to emphasise the personal
and partial nature of the selection.
‘We drew up lists of places we felt
had to be in, based on our own
might have become more like
a catalogue. We just ran out
of room. Skye, for example, is an
epic location worth many books
in its own right but we’ve included
just three pictures from there.
So covering everything was an
impossible task and we had to
make compromises.’
Although Joe has an extensive
library of landscape images shot
around Britain from the past three
decades, many of the locations Roly
suggested were new to him. So, over
the past couple of years Joe has
photographed around 20 new
locations for the book, on his own
trips or while taking workshops.
The new locations Joe has
particularly enjoyed discovering

ruined abbeys and derelict
industrial buildings.
Then there’s the great British
weather, which, for those aiming
to create stunning photographic
prejudice, and then – with difficulty
– cut them down to 50,’ he says.
‘Roly had a few others he would
have liked to include, and it was the
same for me, but if we’d done that, it
include Tre’r Ceiri, an Iron Age hill
fort on the Llyn Peninsula in North
Wales; Lud’s Church, a chasm in the
Peak District; and the ancient
woodlands at Kingley Vale in

joe cornish’s favourite britain
Tre’r Ceiri, Llyn Peninsula
One Of the most memorable
landscapes Joe discovered while
working on this book was Tre’r Ceiri
on the Llyn Peninsula in north
Wales. ‘Tre’r Ceiri (Town of the
Giants) is an Iron Age hill fort,’ he
says. ‘It’s rarely visited but is a really
astonishing monument in a beautiful
landscape. We, as a photographic
community, still have wonders to
discover in our own country.
‘Photographing it was a really
interesting challenge, but I think this
22

black & white image sums up the
overall quality and scale of the
place. The sun was breaking through
the extensive cloud cover, creating
pools of dappled light.
‘The picture was made in the
summer and in the middle of the
day, so it is at odds with conventional
wisdom of only shooting vistas in the
golden hours of dawn and dusk.
There are many different ways of
approaching the landscape.’ The
image was shot on a Sony Alpha 7R.

West Sussex. ‘Many of these
places were a revelation to
me, so huge thanks to Roly as I
wouldn’t have discovered them
otherwise,’ says Joe.
While working on the book, Joe
also revisited familiar locations
to shoot new work. Even the older
images in the book are mostly
unpublished, so there’s a huge
amount of new material on show.
Equipment choice
Aficionados of Joe’s work will know
that he is a keen large-format
camera user, so reading about the
number of cameras he used during
the project may come as a surprise.
As well as 5x4 cameras such as the
Ebony 45SU and the medium-
format Hasselblad 503CW used in
older images, he had a variety of
other cameras. They included the
Nikon D800, the Fujifilm FinePix
S5 Pro, the Sony Alpha 7R and the
Fujifilm X-E1.
‘When I looked back, I was
pretty staggered to find out how
many cameras I’d used,’ says Joe.
‘I seemed to be all over the place.
The irony is that if I were advising
anyone on cameras, I’d say: “Stick
to one system and get to know it so
well that you can forget about it”.
But inevitably, partly because of the
digital revolution, I’ve experimented
a lot and the range of cameras
used in the book reflects that
experimentation to a large extent.’
How, I wondered, did he decide on
which camera to use for a particular
location? ‘I’m often trialling new
cameras, so a lot of the time the
choice was down to pure curiosity,’
he says. ‘When I was working on
Hadrian’s
Wall, west of
Housesteads,
Northumberland
 joe cornish’s favourite britain

5x4, that was just the camera I

carried, and I never thought about
it. I was settled with that system.
Since then I’ve been relatively
unsettled, regrettably. But, having
said that, I now quite enjoy being
able to fit my backpack out with the
kind of gear I think will work best
for the circumstances.
‘For example, when I was climbing
in the Welsh mountains last year, it
was an almost 3,000ft ascent and I
didn’t have a lot of time. So I took the
Sony Alpha 7R with a tilting adapter,
a 35mm lens and a couple of light
zooms. That made it much more
manageable than carrying a full
medium-format technical camera
outfit like the Linhof Techno. It
would have been close to impossible
working on a windy mountain with
that kind of equipment.’
Although Joe has used a range
of digital and film cameras for the
book, the images demonstrate that
it’s not the equipment that matters
but the person using it.
‘It’s about priorities,’ he says.
‘When I am studying a scene,
I’m seeking the most significant
characteristics and qualities; the
ones I want to distil in the image.
Then there is the process of
translation – turning that scene
into something that works visually.
That’s when you attempt to speak
with your own voice, through
your own personal aesthetic and
technical working method evolved
over a lifetime and which reflects,
in some way, who you are.
‘So any photography that’s a
matter of artistic endeavour is
ultimately about expressing
yourself. You’re looking at the Above: The Malvern Hills looking north from British Camp, Herefordshire

world and trying to come to
terms with it and reflecting on
your own condition and, maybe,
the human condition in general.’
Transition to digital
The final part of the book includes
Joe’s reflections on his transition
from working with film cameras
and producing transparencies, to
using digital equipment and
post-production. He gives insights
into a learning curve that, he says,
has been ‘steep, rocky and full of
obstacles’. For a perfectionist like
Joe, the change has been traumatic.
‘Because of my arts background, I
usually accept change as inevitable
and desirable, but I did find it hard
to embrace this,’ he says. ‘A s a
young photographer I learned the
colour-transparency film process
that entailed “getting it right
in-camera” not just as practically
desirable but as a philosophical
ideal. It was a belief system of sorts.
Digital wasn’t just a craft change,
it was a faith change. That’s got
to be traumatic.
‘I had come to expect my “final”
work to be the transparency. The
transparency was the peak of the
art. I’m still inherently attached to
film and probably always will be
for nostalgic reasons.’
This Land, with photographs by Joe Cornish and words by Roly Smith, is published by Frances Lincoln on 24 March, price £30.

‘The greatest change, and perhaps
Above right: the best thing about digital
Newton Woods, technology, is the additional
Cleveland creative and artistic potential,
and indeed responsibility, that
comes with it,’ he says.
‘The flexibility of digital colour,
tone and dynamic range, plus the
extraordinary power of digital
post-production, means I’m very
much back in the driving seat in
terms of printing the image for final
presentation, whether for a book
or an exhibition.
‘That is a new responsibility and
a new burden, but with it we, as
photographers, are now 100%
involved in the appearance of our
work. From an artistic standpoint,
that’s a big step forward.’
Joe’s new work shows that he has
weathered the storm of this ‘faith
change’ and his photography has
emerged as strong as ever. The way
his images are composed and
executed, plus the feeling for light
and landscape they convey, all
demonstrate the distinctive
hallmarks of his style. This new
book is one that both seasoned
Joe Cornish fans and new
converts alike will enjoy.
Joe Cornish offers his
advice on preparing to
photograph a landscape
that is new to you
‘MY FIRST piece of advice, given
slightly mischievously, would be:
don’t do any research on a
landscape. Don’t look on the
internet. Don’t come laden with
the baggage of other people’s
pictures and expect to reproduce
them. That’s because, first, it isn’t
going to happen and second,
because it shouldn’t happen
– otherwise how are you to form
your own view? To be fair, that’s
almost an impossible task today,
but I think it’s a desirable aim.
‘I would go equipped with a
paper map, for obvious safety
reasons, and because I still
believe it is a superior way
to introduce yourself to the
landscape than a GPS.
Experience the landscape in
real time, in the real world and
park your assumptions. Where
possible, explore it on foot.’

Location Guide
Budle Bay
Set along the dramatic Northumberland
coast, Jon Gibbs reckons this remote
location offers superb photo opportunities
Budle Bay is a stunning area along the
dramatic Northumberland coast and a
designated Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. As a conservation area the 100
miles of coastline are protected from
development, so its wonderful beach
and dunes are great sources of amazing
vistaas. Budle Bay also comprises a
large area of mudflats that are a haven
for wildlife, especially migratory birds
during the winter.
The bay’s appeal lies in the wonderful
vistas along the coastline, and the view
inland towards the Cheviot Hills, either from
the tops of the cliffs or at shore level.
Budle Bay is reached via the lovely
village of Bamburgh, which is a short drive
from the A1 – take the A1342 to reach
26

the village. Bamburgh has its own
wonderful locations, namely Bamburgh
beach with its ever-popular view of
Bamburgh Castle and the views out to
sea towards the Farne Islands.
In Bamburgh village there is a large
car park near the castle, but it is better
to take the road in the village called
The Wynding, which has ample
opportunities for parking on the
journey towards Bamburgh Golf Club.
If you can resist the temptation to shoot
at Bamburgh, you can walk to Budle Bay
heading north along the top of the cliffs
and dunes bordering the golf club. If the
tide is out you can drop down to the coast
beyond the small lighthouse at Blackrocks
Point and walk along the shore.

advice
WHEN I first visited Budle
Bay, I couldn’t get over the
wonderful view from the
high dunes looking towards
Ross Sands and beyond to
Holy Island. It is a superb
vista encompassing the
wonderful shapes and
contours of the bay that,
in my opinion, are best
photographed at low tide
as the colours and shapes
of the tidal channels viewed
from above are marvellous.
It is also worth turning
your viewpoint slightly
inland from these high
dunes towards the Cheviot
Hills – they make a lovely
feature for the horizon of
your image. Reaching for a
telephoto lens at low tide
works wonders. Zooming
into the tidal channels and
dunes, and picking out the
patterns and forms from
above, produces wonderful
abstract images.
The dunes at lower level
are equally good to shoot
from as they are still above
the shoreline, so you can
get a sense of distance and
scale. They also provide
the opportunity for
abstract images. The
weather can be wild and
some of the sand patterns
made by the wind are
among the most
photogenic I have seen.

technical as on capturing the essence of 2015
T
here’s a strange feeling you
get when looking through
current documentary and
reportage work. While the
subjects you view can often trade in
the suffering and hardship of, say,
refugees, the aesthetic results can
often be overwhelmingly beautiful.
How do you negotiate this
hammering cognitive dissonance?
You see suffering, but you can’t
look away. Perhaps that’s the point.
Surely if you want to communicate a
message effectively, it must be done
in such a way that the viewer has no
choice but to look.
Of course, this point has been
echoed through the dialogue that

has always followed the World Press
Photo competition, and this year is no
different. The 2016 winning images
are challenging, certainly, but also
do much to educate about the issues
that haunted the annals of 2015 – and
they will continue to press on our
conscience in the months ahead.
Here, we show a selection of the
most outstanding examples.

Warren Richardson
Hope for a New Life
The refugee crisis was perhaps the biggest story
of the previous year, and in this image by Australian
photographer Warren Richardson we find a perfect
encapsulation. Here, we see a man passing a baby
through the fence at the Serbia/Hungary border in
Röszke, Hungary, on 28 August 2015. It’s the
imperfections of the image that perhaps make this
such a success. The strange aura of the aesthetic gives
us a feeling of panicked transience and of desperation.
It’s an image of atmosphere and real feeling.

KIT LIST
▲ Zoom lens
One minute you could be taking a
close-up image, the next a telephoto
shot of a distant building or a wideangle
view of a subject close by. To minimise
the amount of time spent changing
lenses, a wide-ranging zoom lens offers
maximum flexibility and portability.
▲ Polarising filter
A polariser is great for giving a boost
to colours or removing reflections from
non-metallic surfaces.
▲ Macro lens
A macro lens is useful if you like doing a
lot of close-up detail work. However, a
lot of ‘standard’ zooms (and even
compact cameras) offer a close-up (not
true macro) facility, and this can be
good enough for all but the most
specialist applications.

 Technique URBAN ABSTRACTS

Fresh eyes
To make an attractive
image from the ordinary
(street signs or road markings,
for example) requires us to
develop the ability to see the
familiar through fresh eyes –
to see the world around us
as a child experiencing that
environment for the first time.
As the Austrian photographer
Ernst Haas once said, ‘I am
not interested in shooting new
things; I am interested to see
things new.’
This requires regular
practice, by constantly looking
at the world and searching for
photographic potential. Very
soon you’ll be seeing images
in the most unusual and
unexpected places. This is one
of the reasons I always carry
a camera with me.
It is important to discard
any preconceptions about
what makes an attractive
subject. We need to look
beyond the everyday function
or purpose of something to
see it as a purely visual entity.
I call it ‘looking beyond
the obvious’.
For example, a manhole
cover, a drainpipe or road
markings are not immediately
recognisable as photogenic
subjects until we start to see
them in terms of pattern,
texture, shape, colour and
tone. We then begin to
photograph what we really see.
This leads to a significantly
different approach.
Isolate
This process is often helped by
isolating a part of the subject
– by moving in close (using
our feet or zooming in with
a telephoto lens) and
concentrating our attention on
the element, or elements, of
the subject that are visually
most appealing. I refer to this
as a ‘reductionist’ approach to
composition – stripping away
all unwanted or unnecessary
elements in the viewfinder
until we are left with the core
essence of the image.
Attention to detail is vital in
this process, so take great care
about what is left in the frame
– particularly at the edges. The
use of colour, line and shape
are important considerations.
Think about compositional
balance (how elements such as
light and dark tones relate to
each other) and use lines to
move the viewer around the
frame, taking them to your
focal point (if there is one).
I have previously written
about the value of working on
projects or themes [see Pick a
Project, AP, 13 February] and
this is an approach I’ve found
particularly useful with my
urban abstract work. As these
images can be discovered in
abundance almost anywhere,
creating photographs,
ironically, can be more
difficult, as the number of
options can overwhelm our
visual senses. Taking a theme
or project-based approach

It’s important to When looking for

warning drawn from personal
experience. This type of
photography can become
incredibly addictive. It will
become impossible to leave the
house without seeing potential
images everywhere (I even
take a camera to the local
supermarket). Friends and
family will refuse to stay next

to demand regular treats as
a reward for patience each
time you spend 15 minutes
photographing the lines and

me – your life will never
be the same again.
Analysis
of images
The Spiral Piano
The image below was taken in a
hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland. I was
initially attracted by the twisting
staircase, but it wasn’t enough to
justify making an image on its own.
As I studied it a bit more, I
noticed that the design and the
way the light was falling created
shadows that reminded me of
piano keys (hence the title). That
was the extra dimension required
to make the image more
interesting than just a simple
architectural record shot.
How the shadows fall on the stairs
makes the shot more interesting
Wheels Within
Wheels
I took the shot below on a long
weekend trip to Copenhagen,
Denmark . Bicycles seem to be the
preferred way of navigating the city
centre, so I wanted to make sure I
got a photograph that reminded
me of that. The blue bicycle lane
with the painted symbol was a good
starting point, but it needed
something else. I waited for a
passing cyclist to come into the
frame. The slight blurring of the
wheel (signifying movement) and
the warm slash of the orange
reflector on the wheel (contrasting
with the blue) were lucky elements
that make the shot for me.
The addition of a cyclist adds an
extra dimension to the shot

Expert advice and tips on improving your photography from Damien Demolder
Kept in the dark
Bidyut Goswami
Nikon D7000, 16-85mm,
1/8sec at f/4, ISO 640
IT CAN be hard to take successful
pictures of big groups, as we need
to find some way to prioritise the
elements of the scene so the
viewer knows where to look first.
Bidyut has done well by getting
close to the man at the front so we
can focus on the light on his face.
One of the big visual attractions
of candlelit occasions is the warm
glow of the little flames, and really
this scene should be more orange
than it is. Bidyut has used auto
white balance, which usually does
its best to remove warm glows, so
I would always suggest using the
daylight white balance in cases like
this. It will really emphasise the
colours that build atmosphere.
As there is a bit too much BEFORE
contrast, and the shadows hide
details that help to tell the story,
I’ve used some low-contrast
settings to lift the darkest tones. At
the time of shooting, something
similar could have been achieved
with a low-contrast shooting mode.
Customising the camera’s JPEG
profile or shooting in raw mode
would achieve similar results.
There is a bit of distortion from
the wide lens that needs fixing, so
I corrected that and cropped out
the half-person on the left, as he’s
a distraction. This made the main
man a bit bigger in the frame, too.
Unfortunately, lightening the
shadows has made the other
photographers in the background
more obvious. Polluting a travel
picture with another photographer
somehow makes the scene seem
less authentic. To solve this, I
have disarmed them, so they
look as though they are clapping
instead of snapping. Bidyut could
have waited for them to move,
although I suspect he is in their
pictures too. AFTER

that there is loads of road in the frame – it is

Tiny friend
Christopher Wenham
Canon IXUS 265 HS, 4.5mm,
1/400sec at f/3.6

I’M GUESSING that this is a lizard, and

Christopher has made a pretty good job of
getting its face in focus, which is no mean feat
with a compact camera. Although digital
compacts tend to have pretty good macro
modes, getting them to focus exactly where you
want them to isn’t always easy. The lizard is in
the middle of the frame, which I suppose helps.
What is difficult to understand is why the
picture has such low contrast. It’s as though we
are looking through a fog. A dirty lens could be
the answer, and all that light coming from
behind might be making the front element
glow. Or it could be just down to processing.
We need to cut through the fog to see the
BEFORE
detail. I’ve increased the contrast so we do
now have a black, but also lifted the shadows
as they got compressed with the additional
contrast. The finished result doesn’t look
very natural as it has been over-manipulated,
but that could have been avoided had the
contrast not been so low in the first place.
I’ve also adjusted the composition, so the
AFTER
lizard’s face is off-centre and on a junction of
thirds, which makes the image more lively, and
the fingers can lead us to the subject. There is
a lot of empty space in the original, and while
our subject is small he doesn’t need to be tiny
in the frame – so I’ve made quite a severe crop.
It’s a nice shot, Christopher, but keep your
lens clean and crop when you can’t get closer.

The iShoot quick-

release clamp is
made of aluminium
alloy and attaches
to the tripod head

WHILE we usually cover major brand accessories available from large

retailers in this section, recently we’ve also taken to looking at some more
esoteric products. One such is this iShoot quick-release clamp that’s
available from UK Highland Photography. It’s designed to attach to your
tripod head, perhaps replacing an existing quick-release system, and
while it might look like any old Arca Swiss pattern clamp, its selling point is
that it also accepts two types of Manfrotto plates. These are the popular
small rectangular 200PL plates for RC2-type quick-release heads, and
the larger and less common 410PL plates.
So why would this be useful? Until recently, Manfrotto’s RC2 system
was probably the single most-used type of quick release, but the Arca
Swiss dovetail has recently surged in popularity due to its simplicity and
strength. Indeed, many CSC manufacturers now include Arca Swiss
pattern plates on accessory grips. With a clamp such as the iShoot you
can use both types of plate on the same tripod head.
The IS-JZ50III is pretty well made from aluminium alloy, with its skeletal
Mofifififififiafififificfiufififi
design keeping weight down. It can be attached to a tripod head using
either a 3/8in thread or a countersunk bolt, and has anti-twist slots in its
base. An unusually long locking screw should clear many camera bodies,
Mofififififichfifiqufi
making them easier to attach.
All my various Arca Swiss plates attach securely, as do older metal Mofififiofifififiofi
200PL plates, although Manfrotto’s new plastic ones won’t fit. However,
I’ve had some problems with the iShoot’s sliding jaw jamming against
Manfrotto 410PL plates and not releasing properly when the clamp is
released. Despite this, if you want to use a mixture of Manfrotto 200PL

IN THE FIELD
L
ike many Canon owners,
when rumours of a new
5D began to circulate I
was rubbing my hands
together with excitement for the
long-awaited EOS 5D Mark IV. My
wish list would include superb
autofocus and a full-frame sensor
with great detail and high ISO
performance, as well as excellent
signal-to-noise ratio. However, the
specs revealed a very different
camera to what I was expecting. It
wasn’t an EOS 5D Mark IV but two
closely related high resolution
cameras – the Canon EOS 5DS
and EOS 5DS R.
As I examined the specifications
I had a number of questions. First,
I wondered why there was a
maximum ISO of just 6,400. As a
photographer shooting wedding
and events, portraits and product
photography, I need a camera that
can handle various situations – and
this seemed to be a limitation. Also,
the resolution is huge at 50.6
million pixels, so I wanted to know
what would happen when I tried to
edit a shoot together with
50.6-million-pixel JPEGs and raw
files. Third, I wondered whether
there would be a huge difference
between the 5DS (with anti-aliasing
filter) and the 5DS R (without
anti-aliasing filter).
I was curious to see how
the new cameras would fare
compared to the Canon EOS 5D
Mark III, although I am aware they
are designed more for landscape,
studio and fashion photography.
19 March 2016 I www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I subscribe 0330 333 4555
I used both the 5DS and 5DS R for
about six months, during which
time I shot five product shoots, two
events, two lifestyle fashion shoots,
an editorial shoot, a wedding and a
trip to Scotland shooting
landscapes and wildlife. I now have
a few answers to my questions.
Moiré patterning
My first task for the 5DS R was a
product-and-lifestyle shoot for
a client who manufactures leather
and canvas bags. The difference
between the 5DS R and the
5DS is that the 5DS R has no
anti-aliasing filter. As a result, the
5DS R produces maximum detail
but risks moiré patterning when
shooting repetitive designs such as
those found on fabrics.

That meant using a 5DS R to
shoot canvas bags would be totally
unsuitable, right? Well, I set up a
shot in the studio and rattled off a
couple of pictures at a variety of
apertures while connected to a
laptop. I could see the images
popping up on the screen and, to
my surprise, there was no moiré
patterning. At times, diffraction
from the lens can be enough
to stop moiré, but even at the
sharpest point of the Canon
24-70mm f/2.8 lens I found it
wasn’t a problem.
This answered one question for
me: if I had the choice of buying a
5DS or a 5DS R, I would choose
the 5DS R for the simple fact that
it rarely produces any moiré
patterning, unless shooting
subscribe 0330 333 4555 I www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 19 March 2016
something like a pinstriped suit or
very tightly compacted, repetitive
building details. I suspect many
photographers would rarely
encounter moiré and, in my
opinion, the advantages of the
extra detail outweigh the very low
risks of moiré. If I encountered it,
I’d either remove it in post-
production or stop the lens
aperture down to create enough
diffraction to stop the effect.
Once I had finished the shoot,
I began to edit the images. Most
noticeable was how much more
detail could be seen in the shots
compared to those from the EOS
5D Mark III. It was astonishing,
as every single stitch of a bag
was pin-sharp. However, this
was both an advantage and a
disadvantage. I could crop into
certain areas and provide the
client with detail shots using
a few clicks of the mouse, which
is a huge bonus as it cuts out
the need to do a lot of extra
work. The down side is that you
can see everything, including
pet hair, biscuit crumbs, sticky
fingerprints and whatever detritus
you may have transferred while
trying to position and style a
product, as it’s much more
noticeable on a 5DS R image.
Sensor
For product photography, the
high level of detail the sensor
can resolve is excellent, and it’s
equally great for portraits and
landscapes. The 5DS R is an

outstanding studio or landscape
photographer’s camera, and it
currently creates the most detailed
images for a full-frame camera.
However, there’s stiff competition
from the Nikon D810, which
boasts a 36.3-million-pixel sensor,
although the Canon’s resolution
still trumps the Nikon with more
pixels to allow for more extensive
cropping. On resolution alone, the
Sony Alpha 7R II, with its
42.4-million-pixel sensor, is also
not far behind the Canon EOS
5DS R in terms of how much
detail it can capture.
The Sony Alpha 7R II and
Nikon D810 also have a distinct
advantage over the Canon EOS
5DS R in terms of dynamic
range. In our tests we found

slightly lacking in comparison.
Having used the 5DS R for quite
a few shoots, I found I seldom
needed a greater dynamic range
than it provided. For the vast
majority of shots I didn’t find the
Canon EOS 5DS R losing highlight
or shadow details, apart from in
very challenging conditions.
One such situation was shooting
a wedding, where I found myself
photographing the bride’s dress.
There were a couple of locations
where I tried to use natural light,
but it ended up looking awful,
so I opted to hang the dress
over a four-poster bed with
the bedside lamps illuminating

the dress from either side. The
scene was ultra-high contrast
so I needed to bracket a few
exposures and aimed to merge
these together in Photoshop or
Lightroom to give me a high
dynamic range image.
When I got the raw files into
post-production software I tried
both Lightroom and Photoshop
to merge three images to HDR,
but the enormous file sizes meant
it wasn’t possible. My MacBook
Pro, which has an Intel i7
processor, just couldn’t handle it,
no matter how many times I tried.
It caused havoc and I had to
resize the images first, put them
all together, then re-import
everything into Lightroom. I had
to break my workflow to achieve
what I wanted, whereas with
smaller files I could have done it
without taking those steps.
For any project, shooting a large

number of photos in full resolution
is quite hard work when it comes
to editing. It creates stress on your
computer and takes a long time to
apply changes, especially on older
or low-spec computers.
On an editorial shoot for Horse &
Hound magazine, I shot about
300 images, which I whittled
down to 60 to send to the picture
desk. This took around 30%
longer than it would have done
had I shot with the 5D Mark III.
However, for this kind of shoot I’d
rather use the 5DS R as the image
quality is better and an extra 30
minutes is a worthwhile trade-off.
When shooting a wedding – or any
event that requires 500-plus
images to be taken and sorted,
though – it’s a bit too time-
consuming to work with such large
files, and I feel the Canon EOS
5D Mark III would be better
suited to such situations.
Testbench
Pushing the ISO
When shooting an event, on most
occasions the client requires small
files that they can download and
email easily. At the other end of
the scale, they may want to print
the photographs in A4, but the
images are rarely used for
anything other than that.
On one particular corporate
event, I took along both the 5D
Mark III and the 5DS R, but
decided to shoot the whole thing
with the 5DS R to see how
it would perform in low-light
conditions. Although it’s not really
designed for such situations, I was
curious to see how the camera
would fare while shooting indoors,
in the dark, with people were
moving. It required me to shoot
mostly ambient light to get natural
shots. The idea behind this was
simple: although at 100% these
files would be very noisy towards
the maximum ISO sensitivity, once
resized, with a bit of noise
reduction and sharpening applied,
they would clean up rather well.

Autofocusing
One of the most challenging
situations for any camera is a dimly
lit first dance at a wedding. I find
the 5D Mark III usually only misses
a few shots but overall turns out
good results, although the EOS-1D
X is even more consistent. On
paper, the 61-point autofocusing
system of the 5DS appears to be
better than that of the 5D Mark III,
so naturally it had to be tested in a
truly challenging environment.
Shooting next to my wedding
photography partner Stuart
Clinton, we decided to compare
the 5DS R side-by-side with the
5D Mark III and found that the
best results came from the 5DS R.
Even in extreme low-light
conditions the 5DS R performs

well with both single focusing and
continuous autofocusing. In the
studio I found that even with just a
modelling light on, so long as the
focus point could find an area of
reasonable contrast the focusing
was incredibly accurate and very
fast. I would have to say the
focusing system on the 5DS R is
among the best I’ve ever used.
Final thoughts
A lot of people criticised the
5DS R when it was announced
because it wasn’t an 5D Mark IV.
Canon has stated that the 5DS R
is not a replacement for the 5D
Mark III, but rather a specialist
companion to sit alongside it.
I need quick AF, easily
manageable file sizes and a very
good signal-to-noise ratio, with
the option to use high ISO
sensitivity settings. I’ve put the
5DS R through a lot of different
professional situations and I have
to say that it’s done an great job.
With a 50.6-million-pixel
sensor, the 5DS R is primarily
intended for landscape,
fashion, portrait and product
photographers. It would also be
ideal as a studio camera, or for
landscape photographers who
intend to make very large prints.
There are a limited number of
photographers who really need
the features this camera offers,
as it occupies rather a niche area.
However, in this niche, the camera
is incredible. While the massive file
sizes and high-resolution images
can be burdensome for post-
processing and workflow, the
quality of the image is outstanding.
The quality is currently the most
detailed I have seen from a
full-frame sensor – in fact,
pushing towards medium-format
quality. For those who don’t need
19 March 2016 I www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I subscribe 0330 333 4555
such resolution, downsampling the
image will make images appear
much cleaner, image noise will be
less noticeable and the edges will
appear sharper. This will allow
users to push the ISO a bit further
if they don’t intend to display their
photos as huge images or
extensively crop into them.
I was a bit frustrated by the ISO
6,400 sensitivity cap and found
myself shooting images at the
maximum ISO when covering
events. Once the raw images are
downsized and a bit of noise
reduction and sharpening are
applied, the files at this ISO look
great. I would have liked to see the
maximum ISO sensitivity at ISO
12,800, but this is where the 5D
Mark III comes in. I do find it a little
disappointing to be a bit
‘undergunned’, though, in terms of
dynamic range, as similar cameras
have at least a 1-stop dynamic
 Build and handling

THE CANON EOS 5DS R is very
easy to use. It handles well, is
designed to be comfortable and
the button layout is sensible,
allowing you to take care of
everything you need quite easily.
The only disadvantage in
comparison to other cameras –
most notably mirrorless models –
is that the 5DS R is fairly heavy.
That said, it is incredibly durable
and able to withstand challenging
conditions. Photographers can be
safe in the knowledge that this
camera will perform day in and
day out.
In terms of body design, the
5DS R is more or less identical
to the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It’s
a tried-and-tested formula that
has been tweaked through every
generation of Canon full-frame
DSLRs. If you’ve ever owned a
5D-series model or even a 6D,
then you will feel right at home
when you pick up a Canon 5DS R.
Photographers tend to take
cameras for granted, but Canon
has got one of the best layout
and menu systems available today.
The colour-coded menus are easy
to navigate and all the most-used
buttons that photographers need
are right where you need them.
Canon doesn’t tend to pander to
the niche market and put a ‘some
will use it, some probably won’t’
button on the side, and this is
certainly one of the advantages
of this camera.

range advantage over the 5DS R.

The 5DS R handles like any
Canon DSLR. It has exceptionally
good menu systems and the
buttons are well placed. The
company may have had a troubled
past with autofocusing systems,
but the focusing on the 5DS R is
fantastic. While it’s not as fast as
that on the 1D X, it goes above
and beyond everything the
camera is designed to shoot.
I have used the 5DS R for a
range of set-ups and it did a
sterling job. There are a few
things it’s not so good at, but in
other areas it’s top of the class.

acphun is a

that specialises in

As the name suggests, it’s

Recently, Macphun teamed up
with Trey Ratcliff, one of the most
famous HDR photographers in the
world, to produce a plug-in and

aberrations are
commonplace when the

feature to have. Also, when ghost
reduction is selected, you are
given an amount you can reduce
the ghosting by on four different
strength settings, as well as the
option to select a reference image

Once an image, or series
of images, is loaded and
processed, you can start working
on the file. The layout is very
similar to Adobe Lightroom, and it
works much the same, but this
software is HDR-specific.

Tool run-down
Down the right-hand side is a
selection of tools. The first of these
is Tone, a toolset for basic
adjustments, including highlights,
shadows, midtones and blacks/
whites. Next is Structure, which Aurora HDR can be used for more subtle adjustments to enhance your images without going too far over the top

The Details tab allows users to

be controlled individually, localised

image radiance, doing what it
describes and making the images

very useful. It allows users to
control the exposure from the top
half of the image and make it
lighter or darker. The same can
also be applied to the bottom
half. This is especially useful for
balancing landscape images. Any users who are familiar with Adobe

It can be tilted, rotated and
feathered, allowing foreground
and skies to be darkened or
lightened. Also, in the layers there
is the option to use blending
modes such as Soft Light, Hard
Light and Color, to name a few.
These allow users to blend effects
and make more dramatic images.
HDR presets
Along the bottom of Aurora HDR
Professional is a variety of presets
that can be selected by category.
Categories include ones for
landscapes and architecture, as
well as Trey Ratcliff’s own preset
collection. Users can also save
their own presets.
Many of the presets are quite
strong, giving a heavily processed
look, and for many shots they’re
dependent on a specific type of
scene such as a cityscape with
bright highlights. Often, many
images don’t work with a lot of
presets, but there will usually be
one or two that do work well.
In use
I tried using a variety of images
with the Aurora HDR Professional,
including ones from Olympus,
Sony, Canon and Fujifilm, mixing it
between full-frame, APS-C, Four
Thirds and compact camera
sensors in order to get a well-
rounded user experience. I also
tried using single exposures and
bracketed exposures, as well as
a mix of raw and JPEG files.
The first thing that bugged me
was that even when using a
camera with a lot of dynamic
range – meaning there is lots of
information in the shadow areas
– Aurora HDR Professional
pushes it so hard that an awful
lot of noise is introduced to the
shadow areas. The Denoise tool
tries to combat this but tends to
smudge a lot of the finer detail. If
you’re planning to print the image,
that level of processing really has
an adverse effect on the final
image quality.
Next, I found that certain
colours become intensely
oversaturated to the point that
they become a glaring distraction.
Inside the tools menu there are
options to turn this down, but
even when corrected it seems like
there’s a lot of colour depth that
becomes lost. It becomes rather
difficult to get the aesthetics of
an image right.
The range of tools and the
layout of the software are great.
Everything is laid out well and is
easy to find. Sliders are a
tried-and-tested way to edit. I
found it really easy to use and
there’s plenty of support and
learning material.
Changing settings was easy
enough, although it does make
you wait for a while to see what’s
going on, especially with bigger
files. A single adjustment can take
three or four seconds to render, so
it’s not especially quick like
Photoshop, which usually
updates in real time.

Our verdict
I WILL start by saying I don’t like
the overbaked HDR look, but I
will cast aside my opinions for an
honest and untarnished verdict.
I find in many cases that Aurora
HDR Professional introduces a lot
of technical flaws into your image.
In many cases, the software
achieves a really punchy image
with strong contrast, lots of detail
loss and lots of oversaturated
areas. There are image-noise
issues in overworked shadows, too.
I find the presets are seriously
overdone. They can work
wonderfully, but only on very
specific images. With software
such as Adobe Lightroom I can
usually import a reasonably
average shot and make something
half decent with a few of my
presets. With Aurora HDR
Professional you really have to
start with an incredibly strong
composition and image in order to
convincingly carry off the extensive
editing that it goes through.
Sometimes I imported an image
into Aurora HDR Professional,
tweaked a few presets and came
back with something that was
much better than the original, but
the success rate certainly wasn’t
as high as I was expecting.
All in all, Aurora HDR
Professional isn’t a bad piece of
software. It’s a little sluggish and
it isn’t the one-stop shop for
instantly amazing pictures at two
clicks of a mouse that it’s made
out to be. But
it’s well laid
out, intuitive
and you get a
lot of software
for £72.

E-P1 download

Q I have just bought my
first Olympus Pen E-P1
(used), but it turns out that
I can’t seem to connect it to my
PC (Windows 10). Can anyone
help me? I am using the USB
lead from my E-420.

This should work using

that your camera is set to the

Fast prime for Pentax
Q On the strength of AP
reviews and awards,
I bought a Pentax K-S2.
I bought it bundled with a Pentax
18-135mm WR lens, and I also
have a Tamron 90mm macro.
The Pentax lens is slow, both
in autofocus and maximum
aperture, but otherwise adequate
for most of my needs, so I would
like to supplement it with a fast
prime lens with an effective
focal length – somewhere in
the 35-50mm range.
The lens I am trying to find
must be sharp, weather-
resistant, around f/2 or faster,
cost under £1,000 and weigh
less than 1kg. I know it’s a tall
order, but even if it does exist
I’ve failed to find it. Can you
help? Mike Gosling
A
I’m afraid the answer is
simple: no lens on the
market fully meets your
requirements. There aren’t any
weather-sealed primes to fit
the K-S2, unfortunately, which
is strange given Ricoh places
great store on its weather-
sealed cameras. To be fair,
though, few fast primes at the
price point you’re considering
are described as weather-
sealed, from any manufacturer.

in the rain, I’d advise the old
trick that photographers have
used for years: cover the
camera with a chamois or
plastic bag while shooting.
I’ve found that most cameras

them off promptly after use,
although I wouldn’t expose
them to a downpour.

● KNOW- HOW
Camera advice for
night-sky photography
Q I have been interested in
astronomy and night-sky
photography for as long
as I can remember, but I’ve I never
had the time to give it a go.
Recently I visited the Kielder
Observatory in Northumberland,
and the ‘dark skies’ got me
thinking about buying a DSLR.
As I can’t afford a full-frame
DSLR is a Nikon D7100 suitable?
DSLR,
If it’s not, what budget set-up
could I try? Rob
A
One camera stands
out in particular for your
budget: the Pentax K-3 II
digital SLR. Normally when
shooting dark skies you need
relatively long shutter speeds,
which result in star trails with a
conventional DSLR; and if you
wanted to record them as points,
you’d need an expensive
equatorial mount that moves the
camera during the exposure.
However, the K-3 II has a
unique Astrotracer function. This
employs the camera’s built-in
GPS unit and in-body image
stabilisation system to move
the sensor to compensate
for the movement of the stars.
The camera is a slightly higher
price than the Nikon D7100
you’re considering – around
£849 with a basic 18-55mm kit
lens – but you’ll get one of the
best APS-C DSLRs on the market.
As for lenses, the 18-55mm
is a good start, but many
astrophotographers end up with
fast wideangle fixed-focal-length
primes. Not only do they gather
more light, but they also tend to
have fewer optical aberrations so
stars won’t be smeared towards
the edges of a frame.
Here, Samyang’s bargain
manual-focus lenses are well
worth looking at, such as the
14mm f/2.8, which you can pick
up for around £220.

Afififi fifififififififififififi
Bob Newman examines how film works and
the implications for achieving ‘filmic’ qualities
D
espite photographic
film being very much
a minority technology,
many digital camera
users aspire to a ‘filmic’ quality in
their photographs. At its root,
photographic film depends on
the photoelectric effect, just like
silicon/digital technology.
When a photon hits an atom of a
photosensitive material, it dislodges
an electron. Since this is a quantum
mechanical effect, each photon
releases an exact number of
electrons – zero, one or two,
depending on the energy
(wavelength) of the photon. At the
wavelengths of visible light, photons
release precisely one electron per
photon – unless the photon fails
to interact with any photosensitive
material, in which case no electrons
are released.
In the case of a digital sensor, the
photosensitive material is suitable
doped silicon. With film, it is silver
halide. A digital sensor essentially
just measures the electron charge
accumulated in each pixel. With
film, the process is more complex.
The free photoelectrons created by
an incident photon combine with
silver ions in the silver halide to
produce an atom or two of metallic
silver in a halide crystal, or ‘grain’.
In the process of chemical
development, this metallic silver
acts as a catalyst to the reduction
of the whole grain to silver.
Subsequently, in development,
the unconverted silver halide is
washed away by the fixer leaving
a permanent image of silver grains.
Colour film attaches coloured dyes
to the silver grains but is otherwise
similar. The result is an image made
up of randomly arranged and
randomly shaped grains.
The special characteristics of film
and the filmic look result from this
structure. Over the bulk of the
tonal range, the brightness or
density of the image is controlled
Bob Newman is currently Professor of Computer Science at the University of Wolverhampton. He has been working with the design and development of
high-technology equipment for 35 years and two of his products have won innovation awards. Bob is also a camera nut and a keen amateur photographer

by the density of the grain
structure. In brighter parts
of the image the grains are
densely distributed and in the
darker parts they are less dense
(remembering that film is
intrinsically a negative medium).
Each grain is completely black
or opaque; there is no gradation,
unlike digital pixels. In the bright
parts of the image, things are
somewhat different, due to two
different effects. First, a grain can
only be reduced or not, however
many photons hit it, so in bright
light photons that hit already
reduced grains are in effect
wasted – film becomes less
sensitive at very bright illumination
levels. Further, when the image is
developed, the grains can overlap
over the depth of the emulsion.
If a grain is underneath another,
‘With digital, the photosensitive material is
doped silicon. With film, it’s silver halide’
Film’s distinctive look is determined by its characteristic curve, which
describes the emulsion’s response to increasing exposure to light

it will not contribute to the density
of the image, which effectively
amplifies the loss of sensitivity.
In the darker parts of the image
(lighter in the resultant negative),
there is a ‘fog level’ – grains that
did not receive any light but were
developed nonetheless. The result
of these characteristics at the top
and bottom of the exposure range
is a distinctive type of response
curve, flattened off somewhat at
either end into an S shape, as
shown in the illustration below.
The key to achieving a filmic
quality is the duplication of this
curve. Standard digital processing
tools do impose a film-like curve,
More great
but this is generally too precise to
give that distinctive look. Accurate
tweaking of the curve is required

 Photo Critique

Final Analysis
Roger Hicks considers…
‘Boulevard de Strasbourg, corsets’, 1912, by Eugène Atget

© EUGÈNE ATGET/GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE/GETTY IMAGES

ean-Eugène-Auguste Atget
was born near Bordeaux,
France, in 1857. He was briefly
in the merchant navy but
moved to Paris in his 20s, where he was
unsuccessful as an actor and painter.
He took up photography in 1887-1888
and enjoyed no great success until the
late 1890s, but by 1906 (when he was
pushing 50) he was getting commissions
from such august organisations as the
Musée Carnavalet and the Bibliothèque
Historique de la Ville de Paris.
Fortune beckoned more than fame at
first, but by 1920-21, when he was 63 or
64, he was able to sell thousands of his
negatives, become financially independent
and expand the scope of his personal
photography to take in subjects as diverse
as parks and prostitutes. After about
1925 he began to attract critical acclaim
– Berenice Abbott and Man Ray were
admirers – but fame was short-lived:
he died in 1927, in his 71st year.
Atget photographed a Paris that was fast
disappearing, in his own particular style,
with an 18x24cm plate camera. Long
exposures and deliberate concentration on
remnants and echoes of the 19th century
give his pictures a look that is, if not
unique, then at least highly characteristic.
His glimpses of a disappearing world
were both of their time and archetypal.
Although this picture is very old, there
is something in it that almost all of us
can recognise: something on the edge
of our memories, something that has
always been there.

The time is now

Because of this, it can even evoke specific
personal memories from other eras. For
example, in about 1967 my girlfriend
needed some new tights. We went to the
Co-op in Plymouth city centre. It was
the time of the sales, and a corner window
was filled with corsets in virulent surgical
pink. We giggled as teenagers do: such
things were hopelessly out of date, as
were the ideas behind them. But I still
remember that day and those corsets. Rosie
Barratt, AP’s estimable picture editor,
experienced a similar start of recognition,
and she is a lot younger than I. This is the
magic of archetypal images such as Atget’s.
‘This picture is very old, but
there’s something almost all
of us can recognise in it’
It could be argued that Atget was in
a sense a forebear of the Neue Sachlichkeit
(New Objectivity) school of photography,
relentlessly realistic and unromantic,
though for me his work is both dreamlike
and romantic: this is why I like it so much.
Perhaps I like it more because he marched
to his own drum: the only genre into
