Show us yer film shots then!

Thanks Stephen. It was a properly grim day for it too - I got soaked! Sometimes that's the best weather for photos though.

I don't mind the cars so much. Although they're contemporary now, in a few decades time they'll be of their time and that'll be nice to see in the photo.

I recently chatted with a bloke at the Lincoln Steam Rally who was taking pictures of vintage buses. We both agreed that it was a good thing to keep contemporary vehicles in images as they will serve to date the photograph in future, much as hairstyles, fashions, shop signs etc. will. He said he makes a lot of his income now from selling photos of cars, trucks and buses that he photographed back in the 70s and 80s. At the time they were commonplace and contemporary, now they're classic / vintage / nostalgic.

Absolutely. Agree 100%.

Here's one from the old days before digital was around. Taken on HP5 using a Canon New F1 (which I still have) and probably (can't remember) a 50mm lens. Can't remember how I digitised it but I still have the original print hanging in my living room.

This is a picture I took something like 20 years ago but only scanned from the negative quite recently. The reason I decided to post it is because of the shaft of light from a window high up which hits the altar. When I shot the picture the shaft of light wasn't something I spotted. It was only when I got the picture back from processing that a saw the light, so to speak. I wish I could rely on similar acts of serendipity when I'm photographing.

Our Lady of Nazareth, Orange. Seagull TLR, Fuji Reala 100. No other details.

Got the colour shots from Lochindorb back today from Filmdev (see b&w shot 2 places above). It's famous for its ruined castle as shown in the first shot, but the second and third shots are of the Typhoon which had a birdstrike incident less than 5 minutes after this. (@ 15,051 feet, allegedly!) Nikon F80 with Kodak Ultramax.

Interesting to know if the same shots were taken with a polarising filter or even a UV filter what would be the difference..........

What do you scan with? I find the grain on HP5 intolerable, but I think it might be a scanning issue.

For 35mm I use a Plustek 8100 (unless it’s colour, in which case I usually get it scanned by Filmdev).

And very little grain, lovely processing

If I zoom right in then it's noticeably grainier than when it's shot at box speed, but it's still not too bad. It cost a couple of extra quid to get it developed at Peak, but the extra speed was useful on a dull, overcast day (well, until the sun started to peek through and then I struggled to handle overexposure a bit).

 

[FishyFish]

Looking at the scan, I wonder if some subconcious following of the rule of thirds may have occured here... Any psychologists in the room?

I think that sort of photo will usually work better in colour to capture the kitsch tackiness in all its splendour.

Yeah, I agree. Only had HP5+ to hand though.

However, here's one of them there digital thingumies I took a couple of years ago...

I use a Nikon CS IV ED. I'm getting really quite coarse grain with HP5 and Tr-X 400, this even with scans of lab developed negs and colour negs too.
