I like them Trev, makes me wish I had made the effort to go with you now.
Were they all from your Flex, if so what film did you use?

Cheers :thumbs:

Thanks Bro. All with the Flex, on Velvia except the Oilseed Rape which is Provia.
 
Grey skies and lack of light nearly stopped play today, Then I thought that I have never tried my studio lighting with my film camera's, As it's which I normally use with my digital camera and mostly for product photography...anyway film with my lights was a big learning curve, Normally I position my lights using the modeling lights, set the lighting ratios and meter the lights..it's then just a case of firing of a shot or two and looking at the camera screen and histogram I then know what they look like.. then just carry on...So I got the other half to sit in front of the background and ....Help no screen, no histogram and no idea what the pics were going to look like. so it was a case of develop dry scan and find out what happened..

Now that is superb, I need to get some portraits done with my lights. I'm inspired. :thumbs:

Again. A superb analogue subject for film. Love it.

Nice one Steve. Great light.
 
SFX_IR.jpg


I have been thinking about IR photography when Efke IR820 runs out. This was taken a few years ago when we lived in Lichfield using Ilford SFX film and a Cokin 007 filter. To me it just lacks that 820 thing.
 
I know nothing of IR photography but this does seem to lack the glow that seems to characterise IR shots, could it be tweaked in post?

The 'Glow' is mostly because a lot of older IR shots were done on Kodak HIE which lacked an anti-halation layer so the light could bounce around a bit and gave a 'glow' to the highlights, the standard Efke IR820C however has an anti-halation layer so you don't really get the effect as much unless you overexpose. However they also produce(d) a version called IR820C AURA which lacks the layer so you get the glow again. The trade off? You need to load it like HIE in a changing bag as light can burn its way up the film and fog it.
 
View up The Shard is great Rob :thumbs:

Here's a few from the recently purchased bargain Electro 35 GSN. My first rangefinder. Focussing is taking some getting used to :lol:

On the whole, I'm quite pleased with the quality of the shots I'm getting from the camera. I was toying with the idea of taking it to Berlin with me on Sunday for our holiday but have decided on taking the X-300 (just so I can use the beautiful Rokkor 28mm!) and the Trip, well, because it's the Trip :lol:

Thanks for looking as always :thumbs:
 
Touche :D Seriously though, I reckon the RF may be slightly off as there were times the focus ring was telling me I was at six metres when I was clearly closer! I reckon the VF needs a clean too but as I am too scared to take the thing apart I might wait until my next trip to Manchester and pop into the RCC.

Some great photos posted in the last page - good stuff guys. I've been shooting so hopefully will have something meaningful to show for it in the coming weeks!
 
this is a great place and it inspired me to go back to films. So I got myself a T90 with 50mm 1.8 and a 300tl Flash. Should get it by Saturday and post some photos. Great work.

I have tried to enliven SFX shots in post they always end up looking over produced, if you have any ideas, please give them a try.

Really like this first shot a lot, can't quite put my finger on why though.

Think I just like seeing city areas empty like that and the architecture of the buildings :shrug: :thumbs:

Well done but prepared to spend a lot of time understanding the camera and flashgun ;) erm well maybe not as a DSLR might be more complicated. :gag:
 
Another shot from the Yash on the free slide film from CC Imaging. I seriously underexposed this one so ran it through Topaz b&w and managed to extract a lot of detail.

Sorry, Andy, I don't like the processing on this one.:( It looks too much like HDR for me.

I can understand why you would want to try to recover the image, but to me the whole essence of shooting with film is to minimise pp and capture the image as it was.

Just my opinion though! :)

To be honest Heather I totally agree, but I just can't help myself....

Fair enough, but PP has been around as long as photography has existed, except people did it with chemicals and trays rather than a piece of Adobe software - film has been manipulated as much as any digital shot, a lot of the time.

And don't forget scanners basically interpret the image in their own way, and with different colour spaces rendering differently (sRGB etc.).
 
That's true. Have a look at Ansell Adams work, he was an inveterate darkroom tinkerer and if you look at his early work that he re-printed later in his life the differences are huge. But I still think I've probably gone too far with the church image....:D

I can only but agree with this. Working in the "figital" age, I think using both film and digital PP techniques is the best way forward. I personally try to keep within the character of the film used but then that has already been altered by my choice of developer and the way I developed it!
 
Shot a test roll through my new Ikonta 524/16, used some cheap Shanghai GP3 instead of potentially wasting some good film. I glad I tried the GP3, its got a reasonable grain for the cost but its sooo curly and the emulsion is a little delicate. Because it curls so bad it ends up being man handled a lot to get it in sleeves or on to the scanner holder thus covered in fingerprints, can't help feeling a glass plate would have been infinitely superior.

I'm very impressed with this camera, kept zooming in and finding more detail. I need more practice with the range finder function though many of these were way oof, I'm still unconvinced its accurate. Until I can run a roll through that will scan properly its difficult to tell.

Souped in D74 for 6 minutes 30 but could have done with longer, maybe another minute or so.
It came with a cute little yellow filter but this adds a little vignetting you can see in third one.

What place is this?.....I'm presuming in/near Edingburgh??......In some ways, it resembles so much the beautiful architecture of a French Chateau.

I wouldn't frett about finger prints, dust etc too much ....You can always mess about to your hearts content in pp to sort that.

Nice tones and detail.......Me likes! :thumbs:

I pretty much agree with this ^^^^

That said in this case I still like the end result....maybe it's the subject/composition or the fact that's it's in b&w so the hdr effect doesn't scream quite so much.
 
Its the Barclay Viewforth Church, great monstrous building. Which one day I need to shoot in more detail when the light is better and I've got a much wider lens and probably a much longer one to get some detail of the top.

Some nice photo potential there then ....I really need to get out myself and shoot some close ups of the local arcitecture down here....some of the detail is beautiful but easily disregarded if you don't actually stop and look for it.......I for one would like to see more of this church.....I wonder if you're allowed to get internal shots too?
 
..shot this for the Summer competition, didn't get it back it time
