@ Kev M that is a cracking shot I have been wondering what you been up to recently.

Cheers Nick. Haven't been up to much to be honest, I think this was from the third roll of the year and only the second time I've had the camera out. Shot some sailng the other week but need to find the time to make the contact prints so that I can see if any are in focus/blur free. About the only thing less practical for shooting sailing than a Bronica SQ would be a large format camera.

Really like this one. The fact that you can barely see 1 shoe, really helps it for me. :)

Thanks Javier.
 
Took the Bronny for a walk around the sculpture park a couple of days ago. I've posted a few of the B&W shots in a critique thread here, which i'd dearly love if you could give a little crit. on, and I'm currently working my way through the colour shots from a roll of E100VS that was apparently dried in a hoover bag overnight :(

Don't know if I'll be able to post all the decent ones from the colour roll, as I may well be relying on one of them for the May POTY competition, but here's one for now...

If you are looking for comments and just nit picking:- On my monitor your shot has a blue cast :shrug:

There may be a touch of blue, Brian, I forgot my colour chart for a test shot, and I have to confess to a very mild dose of blue-green colour-blindness :shrug:

Probably why I shoot plenty of B&W, and tend not to dress in blues/greens if I can help it :lol:

Thanks Tuco, much appreciated.

I C41 dev'ed another 6 rolls last Thursday evening.

No contamination this time :thumbs:

I am getting some stains on the negs which, after discussion with my local film sage Derek :) I believe are down to impurities in the water, so an in-line filter looks to be a necessary purchase.

What was also very interesting was the contrast between the 3 film types I processed this time.

The Kodak Royal Supra 200 has a hideous curl after drying while the Kodak Super 200 and Fuji Superia 200 are lovely and flat and easy to scan.

My next processing run will be 120 film, so fun, fun, fun trying to get two films on one Jobo reel with the teeny, tiny plastic bit to keep them separate :D

This looks like great fun, think I might have to get one!
 
Got a roll of velvia and a roll of astia back the other day, and am rather pleased with a few of them! These first three are shot on velvia 100F, and the last two on Astia 100F.

Nice! Is 3 possibly due to metering, since Velvia is notorious for reacting badly to even slight under/overexposure?
 
Here's one from a trip to Rannerdale to see the bluebells earlier this month. Taken on Velvia 100F with a Praktisix and the wonderfully sharp Zeiss 80mm lens. This is at closest focussing dictance hence the shallow dof.

I C41 dev'ed 6 rolls of 120 film on Sunday.

The film was all re-badged South Korean Kodak Pro 160.

Good grief it was "difficult" loading the reels :eek: I need to practice my technique much more before my next go at 120.

I lost a couple of frames on the first run because of overlap between the two films.

I managed to correctly position the little red thingie :) for the second and third runs.

I'm still not happy about my stabilising and drying technique which I think is more of the culprit for the water marks than any impurities in the water.

I may have to "modify" :D the camera a bit to reduce the vignetting.

Well, yes and no :D I didnt use grads... as for some reason it was more of an end of roll snap that I just felt like getting out the way. Metered for the brightest part of the sky, added maybe 1.5 - 2 stops. Shot. Forgot. :D

I'd like a better scanner eventually, but for now the V600 does an OK job.

Thanks for the comments as well chaps! :)
 
Ped, I really like your #1, the two foreground guys pinch in the eyes to the interesting background, which see customers being seated and asking I guess for a table. Great table detail except "Tiger beer in a Chinese restaurant":lol:

paulhuk, What a truly wonderful portrait, the sitter is fantastic and has a haunting look. I really love the way you have processed the shot, if I had to say one thing it would be that the forehead appears to be a tad over exposed, but that could be my crappie screen, never the less GREAT.:thumbs:

Paul - if you're using the Tetenal C41 kit, the Stab. part is pretty much the easiest bit of the whole process. All I do is this...

At the end of all the other steps and after finishing the post Blix rinse, I remove the lid and light-trap cone, leaving the film in the bottom of the tank. I then pour in enough tempered stab. to cover the film spiral(s) by 1cm or so. I say tempered, as I find it works best when nearer the 38c end of it's temp. range than the lower temp. threshold. I then use the "swizzle stick" to agitate the spiral a little, give it a tap, and leave it to stand for a minute or two before taking hold of the black centre tube and lifting/dunking the spiral a few times. Another 30 second soak, and I crack the spiral, dropping the film into the stab. Take one end of the film, dunk your first/second finger of other hand (in protective gloves-it goes without saying!) into the stab, then use the "finger squeegee" technique in a single pass, allowing any removed stav to drip back into the tank.

Clip the film up, and hang to dry. Don't whatever you do, rinse the film after the stab. The Stab needs to be the final thing to touch the finished film, as it's a hardener and preservative. If you rinse again, you're basically washing off any good it can do. Since I got rid of my darkroom kit 15 years ago, I don't have a drying cabinet, so I tend to hand film in the shower cubicle to dry. Run the shower for 5 minutes before hanging the film, as this takes any dust out of the air, then hang the film, preferably ovenight to dry and for the emulsions to set. It's difficult at this time of year, as there is so much more dust / pollen etc. in the air, and you should probably still expect to have to spot in any scans. Just take comfort in the fact that it's an aawful lot easier to spot scans digitally, than it was to spot in prints. I've spent FAR TOO MANY hours with a set of spotting dye's and a brush with 3 hairs and a nit on it!

As to modifications to the 120WPC, I have to admit, I generally use it with the 6x9 mask, and even then there's a darkening of the corners due to light fall-off. If you decide to mod your 120WPC, take a few photo's and make it into a walkthrough thread on here, as I'd certainly be interested in giving it a try myself.:thumbs:
 
My experiments with old film cameras continue!

Yashica Lynx 5000 - it's a fixed lens rangefinder with a 45mm f1.8 lens from the mid 60s:
F1.8 on 35mm gives a narrow depth of field!

Thank you both:thumbs:, that may be a good thread to start John, "guess the place":thumbs:and yes get your EM,s resealed, so good to carry about and quick to use.

from my new nikon F4s :) It's the best camera I've ever used. I'm selling my D90 for a decent compact to **** around with and keeping this for serious photography
 
No tripods or lenses over 200mm were the stadium's rules. Camera discrimination if the focal length rule was applied irrespective of camera format.

I'm sure I've got a shot of the tower and castle hill when there was still the pub below the tower tucked away somewhere in "the big box of film lab envelopes". Not about to go rummaging for it now though :lol:
 
Seems like us huddersfieldians like our film then! we should have a meet sometime
 
I got an Epson 3200 scanner second hand on the Bay, and have been testing it this weekend. Some lessons learned: I need a better film holder and to check the focal plane. I think some anti-reflection glass and a custom holder from 0.5mm polystyrene will be a project at some point in the next month. I also need to be more paranoid about cleaning the calibration area - I got small green lines on some scans. Apart from that, I'm happy - it should do what I want and at a good price! Only other gotcha was with Vuescan - auto compression on Tiffs means no compression for files above 12 Bits/colour channel? What?!?
