I agree with The Big Yin, its where tend to post the majority of my images too, I don't need them critiquing or justifying. I just like posting the film pictures up for the sake of it.

I doubt if there's that many people actually looking at this thread compared to the rest of the site and if people stop double posting pictures we should keep some of the load off the servers.

To be honest, I'm quite happy to receive critique on my shots - in fact i'd welcome it, as I know i'm not very good, and i'd really any hints that I can get to improve things. What I don't need is to have to explain why I've shot on film rather than digital, especially as i've got a perfectly serviceable modern camera rather than one of those old relics :lol:
 
Test post to conform with the rules about size erm it matters apparently:-

Sean (Thmaga) - well executed, pin sharp and fantastic colours. Did you develop those yourself? Fine job whoever did them :)
 
Really love the bokeh on your statue shots TBY, lovely tones as well :thumbs:
 
***Really like this one!***

Thanks, but when does a film shot just becomes another digital image when trying to reduce grain and enhance using Photoshop? For me it's the final result that counts whether analogue or digital.

Again, wish my 35mm stuff looked like this. always seems to come back off colour and not sharp. Might be the scanner I'm using though. Probably should get some prints done to see for sure. Its certainly not my camera or lens (yashica electro and famously sharp f1.7 lens)

Few new images from me all are from Lacock Abbey, home of some nerdy chemist who put everyone off daguerrotypes. All are Adox CHS25. I used red or orange filters outside to keep the sky down and the cloister shots I used a yellow filter to help drag the exposure out and get rid of the many other people wandering about. f45 and about 4 or 5 minutes I think, in the end. Dev was in 6ml of Rodinal in 1l of water and I cut the normal dev from 1 hour to 40 minutes with even less agitation to try and tame he contrast a bit.

Apologies for the slightly anal lecture but I think the method is important sometimes. Partly cos it explains the rationale in each shot.

Perspective is a bit odd in the last one. I cant quite my head around what I had wrong. Perspective is slightly out on the right hand side, I've had it before on this shot......

It almost looks like the buidlings are twisted. Fine on the left and centre, but the right is leaning forward. Strange. Not sure on which axis the camera wasnt straight or if it was a problem with movements somewhere.
 
****Nice and sharp. I cant my 35mm shots to look like this****

Cos you can, so can anyone else......I have no expensive lenses and all I did was press the shutter button and Tesco did the rest. We film users are now at a disadvantage as we have to scan so if you are doing your own scanning then that could be the problem, and it does take practice to scan fairly well and you also have to adjust the scan results in a program like Photoshop etc
 
Gandhi, great pic, especially the first one. What lens/camera was that ( curious, since I have not seen one with f45. It must be a LF camera, isn't it)

Club 35 processed and scanned them, They did a really good job, been impressed both times I've used them, the dust marks on the Tesco scans ive had done are horrifying! Its well worth paying the extra. Thanks for your comments, I was quite happy with the colours.

I had Club 35 Develop and scan mine, thanks for the comments, It shouldn't be your kit, i'm using the cheapest FD lenses I could find! That is unless you have the older uncoated lens on your yashica.

I'm liking the Lacock abbey shots too, from the results you can tell plenty of effort went into the shots and processing!, Im looking forward to experimenting with processing black and white once i start college.

Thanks - it's not bad for a shot taken on a camera I swapped for 5 prints :)

The LegacyPro 100 (Not Fuji Acros - Honest! :lol:) seems a really nice film. Most things I've seen recommend shooting it as 80 rather than 100, which I may just give a try next time. Was pretty smooth at 100 though :shrug:

Well here is a image from the new toy - the Zenit EM. Shot on Fuji Neopan 400 CN. As this was to check the functionality of the camera, just had it developed and scanned at Tesco's for the grand sum of £1.96 for a 1 hour service. Shame there was only two images on the disc, and not the number there should have been. So scanned by me on a Epson 4990.

 
Gandhi said:
yeah, 5x4. All these were with a 90mm lens (from the late 80's I think) f8 max aperture f45 minimum.

Does look like diverging verticals in that warehouse which you wouldn't expect from gound level. But if camera was pointing slightly down then that would do it.
Or could be some pincushion distortion in that lens if you really had the standards parallel and camera level. Especially possible if your lens is really designed for 6x9 and not 4x5 so it's at its absolute limit of coverage on 4x5.

the second image shows some distortion in the turret on right top and in the ballustrade in top left which again loks likes pin cushion distortion from lens.

I like that very much, some good contrast and good light, some bit over exposed in some places,but who cares its a good £3.99 camera, I am a bit confused as to why there was only 2 files on the CD you ordered, if you scanned this from the neg then more than acceptable. Well Done.

Thought i had seen that vase recently, it was photographed
and entered in a monthly photograph competition on the DYXUM site in April this year, theme was glass:)
 
Another from the same location as the B&W with the Zenit, this time Kodak Ektar 100 in an EOS3

seems to be a lot of ektar use recently. these were also shot on ektar using a mamiya c330f.

First time I have used my Cosina CSM. The first two are with a Komura 200mm and the second two with a CZ Tessar. Taken on Fuji superia 200. I hope you like.

Some OOF issues, but I like the colour and textures.

Come to think of it, I should have said how this was photographed. The vase was stood on a glass table with a piece of black paper with a hole cut in it slightly smaller that the base of the vase lying on the glass and going on to form the background. The vase was stood over the hole with a studio flash under the table pointing up. The light diffused through the glass. The shot was used on the antiques road show.

Here's one of my film shots you might find interesting. It is part of a series taken around 4 o'clock in the morning I think in 1976 at the Nottingham Ice rink. I wonder if anyone recognises the subject.

some shots from gawthorpe hall today.

all taken on Ilford Delta Eos5 with either 85mm or 50mm lenses

i think i need to knock the exposure down a notch, to me they appear a little blown out!

mmm boche!

need to spend a bit of time post processing them in photoshop as ive just twiddled with the knobs in lightroom at the moment
 
some from my voigtlander brillant, had to increase contrast in photoshop because they were just faded looking? down to the lens?

anyhoo, these were shot 8 months ago i think and sent to someone, i totally forgot about them until now!

ha ha, it was my first time using a waist level viewfinder and trust me, the thing wasnt the easiest camera to use!

that however, will not stop me, going to look up how to load film (cant bloody remember) and try shoot some more film this week on it.
