Show us yer film shots then!

@Arkady,jgredline,joxby, thx for the feedback!
I agree about his eyes getting lost in the shadows. I may try dodging the shadows in PS, but hate editing film shots. Maybe something to try when making a print.. I'd say definitely bring out the c220 next time you go shooting.

I love this shot!:thumbs:
 
An experiment. I shot this fuji superia 400 at 800 speed to underexpose it a tad and to get a faster shutter speed with a little grittier look about it. I can't say it worked, but the film seems to be very forgiving.
Anyway, me super, superia 400 shot at 800 speed and m50f/1.4

Once again, i love the light you get JG - you can tell instantly it's not from around here! Very nice glow to this set too adds to the laid-back feel.

I have to ask though - wtf is a "Rooter"?

Nice portrait!. This is when film is at its best. Love the bokeh.

Javier - thanks - I was really glad when this one popped up on screen during scanning, as the rest of the roll had been frankly a little depressing. I'd really gone out to test using a FD-EF converter so I could use the FD70-210mm f/4 lens on my EOS-3, and while the shots were okay - in focus, sharp and all the technical stuff, they just didn't bake my cakes!
 
These were taken in 1969, all feature the River Lyn at Watersmeet, Lynton and Lynmouth.

Halina Paulette 35mm and Kodachrome slide, duplicated on a Ohnar slide duplicator.

cross-processed expired 35mm elitechrome, shot on mamiya c330. Colours came out amber under indoor lighting, and super green in sunlight.

double-exposure -- excuse the shirtlessness..




my neighbour's awesome 1965 Chevy Impala Lowrider (had to hold the camera on it's side, super difficult with flipped image on WLF)

Thank you. A rooter is a plumbers snake used for unclogging drains. :)

We should be awfully grateful you are from America rather than Australia* then... :naughty:














* as in Australian slang to Root is to have sex, and therefore a rooter is I believe Australian slang for a Prostitute
 
... not just me then, I was thinking eats roots and leaves!
 
Some more Ektar, my last roll actually. Going to see how my Velvia turns out, then shoot some Kodachrome if I can expose the velvia correctly. :D

Was a fail of a roll really.

35mm f3.5 The river Afan and the bridge at the end of 'Newbridge Road'

Shot of a bird on part of the old docks further down the river. 135mm f3.5+TC
350600163.jpg


Another part of the river, not sure what it is called!, you don't see it unless the water's low, and it was very low that day. 135mm
35060014.jpg


The old docks area, cement works in the background,

The water level really changes a scene! These two are from a similar viewpoint about a week apart.

Just a pretty church not far away from me, the memorial and graves are of Anzac soldiers who died in Harefield hospital in WW1...Hexanon lens 28mm superia 200asa....Tesco developed and scanned with enhancement (to my liking) using Photoshop.

Nice image and yes, the water or lack there of makes this image wonderful. I look forward to seeing what your Velvia and Kodachrome turn out. :)

Maybe someone should start a thread with the good and bad branches named? Rather than just saying "mine's crepe" and "mine's great" ?

Well my branch was great until monday, but you nailed it about a few months ago.....i.e. the quality not only depends on the operator but if the machine is used frequently.
 
One from a roll of Fuji Neopan 400 CN I shot yesterday.

Taken Yesterday, using Konica Centuria super 200, OOD by 5 years, developed at Tesco and scanned to CD. The first two are with Zenit E and Helios 44 early preset and the second two with Rolleiflex SL35E and Sigma 75-250mm Zoom QBM mount.

Oh Javier - how I wish I had the cojones to do that :nuts:

Nice shots of life coming through from the US - keep'em coming (the grittier the better)

Thank you
 
Fuji Superia 800, fancied trying a high-speed film, its really hard to use outdoors when your camera doesn't go over 1/1000 indoor and shady results were very good though, saves shooting wide open on cheap lenses!

Processed at Tesco, i knew the roll was mostly junk!

All three with the 135 mm I think, I like that lens allot.

Stupid fence post!

I thought taking the shot from this angle would be better, as he and his dog were both facing that way, so I moved over a bit, then he started packing up!, I took the shot anyway to finish the roll.

Just spotted this great thread and been admiring everyone's pictures. Just shows film is not dead yet :thumbs:

Although joined some time ago I have only just got round to scanning my film & slide pictures. I came across this set taken back in 2007 at Jungfraubahn in Switzerland whilst on holiday. At the time I had to use my Olympus OM 10 camera body, as my Olympus OM4 Ti was in being repaired. All shots taken with Fuji Velvia 100 positive using Olympus OM 28mm F2.8, with a circular polarizer attached.

Hope they are up to standard

Indubitably...no 1 for me.
 
Here is an interesting to me situation.
I was scanning some film a few minutes ago, when I noticed I scanned a picture backwards. I flipped the film and scanned it the right way, but am now getting to different looking pictures. I redid this three times with the same settings. Is this normal? Does the film look the different depended on what side is scanned? Just curious. I rather like the flipped side better.
The software I use is Vue Scan.

It never seems to make any difference which way up I scan my B/W negs, it comes out the same whichever, but its not a flatbed.
Word on the street was always to scan with the emulsion side down/shiny side up on a flatbed.
Maybe the darker one is so because the shiny side is reflecting some of the scanner light away, I dunno :shrug:
Whatever, a quick flick in the histogram graph before scan will get them both the same.

Those are lovely. I'm going to have to try some Velvia soon. Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Well I must have scanned about 2000 frames up to 6X7 and I've never noticed which side was up or down when scanning.....but maybe it's because I keep forgetting which side is supposed to face down, by the experts.
But if you mean flipping the film for a different view? And I would say it does make a difference, not for the obvious answers, but things like:- how does your eyes normally sweep, left to right or R to L etc.

Thanks Jox,
I am thinking it has more to do with a flat bed, even though my scanner is set up to accept the film.
