Taken in Pula, Croatia on some out of date Kodachrome

Thanks for the comments. I will try the film with Rodinal but after a quick google came across more than a few comments which suggested that it was not an ideal combo with this particular film due to excessive grain. I wanted to make sure that my first use of the film wasn't beset by any...

I like the look of the Efke films and, as they are produced not so far away from here they are the cheapest available locally. But, I've become really frustrated their extreme curliness - in both dimensions. This means that getting them into the film holder for scanning can be a real bother...

That's what I'm thinking. These things seem able to put out a fair degree of light and they stay cool.

OK this is more of an idea than an actual "how to" I noticed these things Litepad on the strobist website and I immediately thought - "ohh, could you use this as a lightsource behind film for scanning". If you could then any flatbed scanner could scan film - even up 24" x 24" provided you...

Thanks I like 5 too and 6. No 4 was her couting the number of photos I taken so that we could finished and go do something else - "c'mon DAAAAD"! Of course above I should have said that it is NOT very easy to work with a highly mobile child. I'd love to hear the secret of how to get...

After dropping my camera I wanted to make sure it was all ok so decided to get some indoor shots (the rain outside was torrential) and grabbed the one daughter left in the house. I promised her we'd shoot just ten shots - you can see her reactions below - before we would sit and watch some film...

Well the Crown Graphic arrived yesterday and it's luuurvely. Now just waiting for film holders and then I can go buy some film. Tum ti tum....

Thanks, that's what I tell my wife....... The Tim bit is hopefully obvious, the Ing bit is from my surname. Anyhoo, surely the Ramsey example is analogous to: I'll take that - 'Click' - and there it is in front of you ;) As frequent traveller - that works for me as well (he says as...

It's like Cooking. I could go to M&S and pick up a ready meal, nuke it for a few minutes and eat it. Sure, it would give me all the nutritional bits and pieces I need (with maybe a touch too much salt and fat). But, I love to buy all the ingredients, prepare them and cook them. It...

This might be a bit off but the button (actuator) on aerosol can often has an insert which gives you the small hole that you spray through. If you could remove one of those inserts (not easily done) then it 'might' give you the pefect 'hole'. You can get different size holes depending on...

I started with film when I was a nipper - then when digital started to make real progress my film equipment started to collect dust and was unused. Recently, for my own reasons, I have moved back into film with a medium format camera and soon to arrive large format camera. At the moment, I...

Hi Mark, The lens is a 135mm Optar - if it all works out well then I'll be on the look out for something wider. You know I've not been able to find a fidelity developing tank but have found the HP combi ones which seems to attract a fair amount of positive and negative comment in equal...

Also, Ike Housings are bigger and heavier - quite a consideration if you want to travel / fly with the housing.
