Show us yer film shots then!

With the blinking red and white lights, they would be planes.

A straight, white line could be a satellite or even a meteor.

The trail from top left down towards bottom right certainly has the lights in the correct config for a plane flying in that direction.

Really nice work Liam. You're right about the colours as well, beautiful.

Cheers guys, they are planes. I am impressed how well it turned out as it was done in my back garden so there is quite a lot of light pollution near by.

Not really - could have been a tight jersey...
 
shut UP...:D

posted a sensitive romantic notion here encouraging people to dream of lost but not forgotten childhood loves....:shrug:

perhaps a better title would have been.





flowers in a wire fence.....:lol::lol::lol:
 
Liam, floored by the star trails - superb :clap:

Could you let us in on how you created the shot?

Javier - loving your recent work - your skills are being honed nicely :thumbs:

...Oh, the dog in the last shot would have made me do the 'ol milk out nose and over the keyboard trick all if I had been drinking milk at the time :)

I like the simplicity :thumbs:

Hi Mike, the settings where f4 / 30 minutes, I set the focus to just off infinity, aimed it at the only star I could see through the viewfinder and left it in the back garden for 30 minutes :D

I want to have a go at getting something in the foreground next time...

Thanks! Tell me, where do you get that Provia 100? Had a quick look about and can't seem to spot any and I love the colours it produces. Love the gradient in that first shot.
 


This was taken about 20 years ago.

f22 1/5th
fomapan 100
tiny bit of rise

Fomapan finally sent me a new box of film and my problems with spots have disappeared. They still think its my developing thats causing the problems :cuckoo:
 
A couple I've scanned from my first roll of B&W.



Pentax Spotmatic F with SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8. Taken on Kodak Tmax 100 film at f1.8 with 1/30th. Orange filter



Pentax Spotmatic F with SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8. Taken on Kodak Tmax 100 film at f5.6 with 1/125th. Orange filter

Got a few more I'm scanning and will post soon

Here are two from a roll of Provia 100 in the mamiya, provia is my favorite colour film at the moment I just love the colours it has.

A simply stunning shot there Liam. They look like digital shots (:eek:) with those colours and an astonishing lack of grain. How do you manage to not get any grain either on film or as noise through scanning? Is it really just that slide film is that good? I really must try it at some point but I'm scared by people saying it's less tolerant to exposure errors, and the increased developing cost.

You will be hard pressed to spot grain with films such as Velvia, Astia, Provia, E100VS and E100G until you start printing big (720 pixels isn't big!). The format you shoot will help a lot, a medium format negative is in a different league to a 35mm one and a large format in a different stratosphere. The way you expose, develop and print or scan your negative can also make a vast amount of difference to the final result. Although E6 is fussier and harder to get processed I think people tend to get a bit paranoid about exposing it properly, if in doubt you can always have your back to the sun :p.

To give you an example (no sharpening or noise reduction applied) this is a crop of a scan from a 35mm negative shot on Superia 400, compared to something like Provia it's a grainy beast.

Where I would say exposure is important is when it comes to scanning. If you've under exposed a slide by even 1 stop in my experience then you're just going to add a load of nasty noise in the scanning stage.

Thanks TopBanana, I would just go for it as provia is an amazing film. I have yet to underexpose or overexpose a slide using provia but I often do when using velvia (I hate the stuff)

Like others have stated, the grain is hardly noticeable when shooting medium format especially at iso 100. I can't even see grain when using large format :D

I like this. The more you look the more there is, I didn't see the fish at first or the clouds reflected in the water.

Inside the Abbey Church at Beaulieu. Ross Ensign 16-20. 1/10th second on Fuji black and white.

I'm really starting to like medium format and the Ross Ensign is proving to be the best £19 I've spent in a long while.

Cheers

Newbie here but recently gotten into film so thought I'd share some photos.

A most enjoyable series for me. I love old churches...I also love the dof in that first image. Great DR as well. :thumbs:
 
Thanks Javier, I was secretly quite pleased with these.

MCC49, welcome and what a nice set of images. Particularly like the orang utan, lovely sharp image.
