Favourite film pic of 2015

[ChrisR]

We had one of these last year, and it was fun, something to while away the dull hours while nothing is happening over the next week or so... Maybe one colour, one black and white?

 

[Andysnap]

Okey dokey, I shall have a look and see if I've shot anything worthwhile.

Thanks for starting this Chris.

Looking back I realise that I've had quite a good year, if I do say so myself.

I think, by a narrow margin, this is my favourite.

One colour, one black and white it is.

I've taken several B&W shots I'm fairly pleased with this year, but this is one of the few that's representative of what I'd like to achieve with photography.




This one is a fluke (long-expired consumer film) but I really, really like the result.

Tough to select an absolute favourite, but these are in my top 5 colour and top 5 mono.

Jardin des Tuileries, Paris, Fuji GA645Zi with Tri-X:

That colour one is awesome Kevin.

That colour one is awesome Kevin.

Seconded. If you don't have that framed and on a wall, you should.

My favourite of the shots taken this year by me are:

Taken in London, with a FujiFilm 645 Pro on Kodak Portra 400 film.


and

Taken at Salford Quays, again with a FijiFilm 645 Pro - this time on Acros 100

I think I took about 10 photos this entire year, only 5 of which I have actually got round to developing

But, in the spirit of it, here is possibly the one decent photo of the year

Derwent Water Sunrise by Jonathan Woods, on Flickr

@Kevin Allan, that velvia shot is fantastic!

 

[Andysnap]

Although I've probably shot more film this year than ever before I struggled to find much I'm happy with, however these two came out ok.

Mamiya C330f, Mamiya 80mm f2.8, Fuji Acros 100

And for a colour blind oik I thought I matched this quite well Same set up as the b&w but on Portra 160

Well, I'd better put up a couple. As folk have mentioned, it's a tough choice, but I really like this beach path at Troon in south western Scotland, taken with the Leitz Minolta CL and the M-Rokkor 40mm lens. The rest of the party I was with had just disappeared up the path, and I thought it looked great and got a couple of quick shots in without getting too far behind (ie the antithesis of the "go alone, consider your shots" advice I've been getting!).



For colour, I think it would probably have to be this shot from the Lakes... Pentax MX, 28mm Vivitar lens, Reala 100 expired.

 

[AdzJackson]

I'm going to go for this for my Black and White, one from one of my first rolls through the Mamiya 645 when I got it, I love zooming into the full quality scan of this. It really gave me that wow factor and helped me fall in love with film in general again.



For my colour shot I think it has to be one I posted in another thread recently, a shot that I had imagined when taking and it actually turned out how I wanted, showing to me that I have gained some form of control with this film beast!



Moving into 2016 I think it's time to chase that 6x7 negative, or maybe a Fuji 6x9... I'll see what eBay brings me!

Well I take loads of nice shots but nothing outstanding and here is a nice shot for me as it has a bit of pop and memories for the future, but wish I'd opened the lens more and the back ground more blurred:-

I like this one:

Krzyki Tram Workshop, Wroclaw, Poland.


Yashica FR1 + Yashica ML 50mm f/1.4 + Fujicolor Superia 200 (cross processing)

Ah Charlotte you like pond weed as well as I (or should it be me)..nice shot

 

[steveo_mcg]

I think I'm lucky if I've shot 6 rolls of colour and got about 4 shots I'm happy with (all from roll 2!) so here's my colour.

B&W was much more difficult but I think this is my favourite.

Some great shots : )

 

[Carl Hall]

Looking back through my Flickr profile, I think these are my favourite colour and b&w photos from the year. I hope 2016 is as much fun as this year has been

Paris in January, taken on Portra 400 with the C220

And this one is on the 500c/m with Delta 100 at Cheddar Gorge in Somerset

[excalibur2]

Well I find shots like your gate and woodland shots very difficult i.e. for me,a shot more than nice but outstanding and have come to the conclusion the best results is MF and LF...but saying that, I once saw a 35mm digi shot of an avenue of trees and I don't know how the guy achieved it but it was superb.

 

[Cannyekerslike]

My favorite colour this year is this offering Mamiya C330 Professional S loaded with Fuji Provia 100F.

B&W was a bit more difficult as I have done a lot of mucking about with B&W so this is the best I have. Nikon F4s Kodak Tmax 400

[AshleyC]

well i went all a bit abstract last year and its something i really enjoyed and will do more of this year.

In hindsight i wish i had seen the face as i took it and framed it a little differently

Sadness


And this was the result of an experiment that failed miserably in what i wanted to achieve, stacking negatives in the scanner to go for more of a sense of depth in a shot, but produced one of the best images ive ever taken and its up on my wall , framed and looking lovely as i type.

God I'm bad at that.
