Show us yer film shots then!

In keeping with the Underground theme, here's a scan of a shot I dug out this morning. Taken around 1987/8 on a little P&S.

And one more, a typical Hong Kong street scene taken in 1999 on my Canon IXUS APS camera. I bought this camera because it was small and pocketable, perfect for travelling with. Then the next day I saw my T90 in a shop in Brighton and bought that too. :)

Earls Court, unless I'm very much mistaken. That's had a bit of work done to it since then too.

Ta. There's a few more from that day's shooting that will be turning up on Flickr.

Took 'em as illustrations for my thesis, which was a compare and contrast exercise on the design philosophies for public transport in London and Paris.
 
Kodak, please don't die, I'm in love with the new Portra 400. :(

Brian, #1 has a little pixalation at the edges, but having said that is a wonderfully constructed shot, I would have cropped the RH side almost back to the white pillar, I like a lot and great colour and that Kiron is so good.

#2 and #3 are just simple brilliant, crisp, clear, great colour and a treasure to keep forever.

:thumbs:
 
Hi Looop,

#1 and #5 and just standout great shots that portray the moment completely, I wold love to have #5 in my library.:thumbs:
 
Thanks for your interest Richard..... and in the first shot I noticed the sky a bit darker on the right and initially thought of shutter bounce, but the T70 has a vertical shutter erm I'm gonna blame Asda processing and scan :).
A shot for when we are all fed up with winter:-
T70, sigma 24mm superwide II, Asda dev and scan, Reala, Ibiza beach.

A photographers nightmare (well it was daytime so daymare)...so much glass around I thought the shot would be ruined with flare, anyway the sigma 24mm coped well but thought I could help it by aiming the flash down instead of up the table more.

A few shots from the first roll I put through my new Pentax 67 :) also happened to be my last roll of 160NC, so it's the lovely new Portra 400 from here on in! Negs are a little under and I only did low res scans but very promising results and am looking forward to shooting a lot more with the massive thing.

Nice "3D" pop in the first shot, IMHO it's easier to get the pop with medium format lenses compared to 35mm.
 
Agreed, it absolutely is. The inherent shorter depth of field makes subject matter jump out a lot more using the same f stop!

It seems a very strange thing to be able to do, I only seem to be able to really get it with one lens. at f2.8 on m4/3, other lenses with FL either side and apertures both wider and smallers never sem to give the same result on 35mm or m4/3. Very strange! :thinking:

There are pages on forums about the 3d effect (pop)....the Zeiss pop? erm ok, but I've got pop from £8 to £20 lenses but don't ask me how I got/get it, it just happens sometimes. ;)
 
I think its all about lens sharpness, depth of field and distance from the background OOF elements of the picture. If you ge the whole subject in focus, with good separation from the background then you tend to get that 3D look. That may be why the f2.8 lens on m4/3 is more sucessful, it doesn't allow you a too small depth of field that would put only part of the subject in focus.

I think it is also to do with micro contrast, don't know what that means but I read it somewhere...
 
Well I took 5 rolls of film=170 shots in Ibiza, with VG lenses but very few had a reasonable subject pop....and the winner was a £4 zoom I bought at the bootie (well I suppose that was because the backgound was more OOF).

Been trying to work it out without pulling one of the slides apart. I suspect it was probably Boots 200.

By 1990 I was mostly using that (still do) or Fuji Sensia . Both pretty much the same thing, really. :)

I did like Kodachrome 64 too, but it was a bit slow for stuff like that and ISTR it was rather expensive for a student.
