Javier, Your photo titled Hanging out is just brilliant, the old gentleman on the bench with that advertisement behind just makes for a great photograph. Wonderful.

Thank you very much.

^^^WHS^^^ Cracking shot

Thank you kindly. I am always on look out at bus stops and walls with interesting back grounds and make a mental note of them

 

[jgredline]

hmm.....there are some really poor dress choices being made in this picture...

Yep, that is what made it for me.

You're not Coming in here Wearing Those...


All shot on the Canon A-1, Ilford FP4+, Ilfosol 1+14 and scanned on Canoscan 8800F with Silverfast SE software.

Classically wonderful composition I just picked up an FD135 as well. It is in new condition for $60.00. I just need to find the right setting to use it in.

They're a lovely lens, but definitely "Restricted Use" - makes a lovely head and shoulders portrait lens if you've got a bit of space to shoot in, but the depth of field's pretty fiendishly narrow (especially when I had to shoot wide open yesterday as it was just before the start of a thunderstorm. Picked mine up from Fleabay... £21 including postage - it's the old FD breechlock f3.5, and came complete with the Canon leather case and dedicated lenshood! Got to love the prices on that FD glass Even bigger bargain was the 35-105mm f3.5 macro zoom - I'd just been moaning that every one I'd seen had gone for £80-£120, and found this one that had been mis-labeled by the seller as a "35-05mm" - it was boxed, original packaging down to the polystyrene packaging, and had a UV filter fitted from new. Picked that one up for £22 posted. I'm a rather happy bunny at the moment!

Some photos from Croatia:

Olympus OM-2n
Zuiko 50mm 1.8 (+ filthy UV filter )
Reala 100 / NC 160 / VC 160 / Impresa 50 / Velvia 50

I really like the colour in all of these.

Yep, I used mine for portraits as well. In fact, It seemed like just yesterday that I bought it, but indeed it was a year ago. I know this because I used it to shoot at a war reenactment show I went to. One thing that did surprise me was the shallow DOF and that it was only an F/3.5 lens. This is fine, because it keeps it small though.

Nick,

I meant I need to get new light seals.

Cracking set, amazing that you can get Roman Centurions and WWII Japanese soldiers at the the same event.

Nick,

I did realise that

Absolutely nothing wrong with what you call double posting Andy...

Especially when they a fine and interesting shots as yours are...

Keep 'em coming...

A couple of shots from my Pentax MX and the 28mm f2.8 SMC-M lens. The film was Kodak BW400CN developed (and badly marked) by Tesco.

Jox, I like this one. Love the way you captured the water in even layers and the silhouette is well defined.

 

[Andysnap]

Like all of those Jox, but as Javier says the last one is excellent.

What he said J - timeless image. Superb

Thanks for looking folks.

[Thmaga]

Bit of a fail roll of Velvia. The slides look fine on most of them, but the scans are terrible.

This would've been nicer if id remembered to bracket the apertures like I did with a similar shot. A large DOF would improve it allot I think.

 

[ujjwaldey8165]

Nice ones Andy and Thmaga
Its in the shots like your last one, Thmaga, that hyper focussing comes in handy

 

[Mr_T]

I'm not so sure how well the hyperfocal distance technique would work there, the rails in the foreground are probably too close. If you stood back a little you may be OK.

I agree and not sure why you would want Hyperfocal focusing here at all. It is not like a street shot where time is important.

 

[paleblue]

If you have photoshop, a quick fix way of getting rid of that disgusting colour cast is to select a black point of the image using the levels adjustment layer (highlighted with the pink circles). I set it to the shadow of the pole, and then set the white level to the whitest part of the cloud (green circles). It's not the best solution as you can see by the 'holes' in the histogram, but at least it should give a better representation.

 

[Ambermile]

"disgusting colourcast"?



**Edit - oh right, that one... only saw it when I adjusted. Old eyes, see. (or rather don't)

 

[paleblue]

"disgusting colourcast"?

Velvia has green cast shadows? oh ok

Gold & Green. Fujifilm 400 if I recall taken as a test shot on an old Yashica Electro 35 GSN Rangefinder camera I picked up cheap. I like the way the colours turned out, and the fact that it doesn't look like I've got any light leaks!

Maybe the camera is too close to the rails; but that will depend on what the f stop is set at. If the f is 22 or more, it could easily take that depth for a 50mm I reckon.

The reason Javier I usually use hyperfocal for such shots is that its very easy to set up, and quick; dont have to faff about with focussing. Set the f stop to the highest possible - f22, set the infinity stop to 22 mark; and almost any foreground that you cant reach by hand is in focus. The point is, there is no need to bracket ( I still hate losing films by bracketing, being a cheapskate and all) Of course serious togs will take time to set it up, but thats just me.

 

[Ambermile]

Talking of focus, these are a bit off since they are from the GS645S, you know, the 120 thing that I don't have a scanner for

That meant I had too find a flat bright light, lay the negs over it, grab the Caplio and on macro mode try and get pictures of the film! Sort of worked I guess, proves anyway that the camera is exposing properly (I exposed +1 stop for the K2 yellow filter, or in other words set the ISO to 25 as this is PanF plus in ID-11). Subject matter a bit boring but I wanted to get something cooked tonight.

This is the church where Mrs A and I got married 13 years ago ... sometimes I think I should have stayed this far from it...

One of these is a toilet!


Bit of fun in the changing bag as it's the first 120 film I ever did... there's that moment when you screw the lid down on the tank (many thanks due to Ujjwal for supplying it ) and open the bag - did you roll the film onto the reel or the backing paper?

Anyway, done now but whether I'll do it again I am not sure, such a faff getting pics out of the negs and I don't want to have to go buy a scanner since they get silly-price-level for big negs. Oh well... got the 9 to look forward to I guess!

Thats just the begining Arthur.

Today is our 15th. And the fun has just begun

The point is, there is no need to bracket ( I still hate losing films by bracketing, being a cheapskate and all) Of course serious togs will take time to set it up, but thats just me.

At 50mm at an aperture of f/22 you'd need to be 13 feet away from the rails (your subject) to have focus all the way from 6.3ft to infinity. If for example your subject distance was 5 feet away, you'd only have from 3.75 feet to 8.34 feet in focus at the same focal length and aperture.

Centuria 200Asa

A most enjoyable series for me. What I love about these pics and this style of photography is that I get to visit places I would never other wise see. Many places have intrigued me so much, That I have flown on 1-3 day trips just photograph them. Thanks again.

By the way. I found it interesting to see a starbucks there. It seems we can't get rid of them

Oh, please don't misunderstand me. I am not knocking Hyperfocal / Zone focusing at all. In fact I use it 90% of the time in all I shoot. I have taken very special care in choosing my lenses so that I can shoot them at between F/5.6 and F/11 at Hyperfocal, Even F/2.8 to F/4. This usually means lenses between 18 and 40mm max. And my personal style is getting up close and personal. Setting one up at F22 can lead to diffraction. It helps that I am also a huge fan of DOF for street shots

Given the choice though, if the object is stationary, I would rather open up the lens and manually focus on the object. The downside to this is that My eye site is not what it used to be and so I ended up getting a Katz eye for all my bodies, even my DSLR's

Hi Folks. I just got back 2 rolls of filmed processed and scanned by a Pro Shop that is 2 blocks from my house. So close, yet so far. They have been their since 1918 and I have bought many things from them, but never thought about having them process my film. The film processed and scanned to a CD cost $7.00. Not bad at all.
What I did was crop for comp and resize them for web use.


Joe is a diabetic who sits in the corner giving out candy all day long.

This I shot wide open and this is where the focus confirmation on the ME-F really shines through. This fellow is a mute. He had his tongue cut off. I have gotten to know him over the years and I call him the bird man. I call him this because with the money he collects he buys bread to feed the birds. He is greatly misunderstood, but he is my friend.

Fantastic set Javier, the first 2 are stellar.

Richard, the Canterbury shots are extremely good as well. Been a long time since I was there but may have to return soon.
