Show us yer film shots then!

Just found this thread :)

Here are a few from my lubitel 166b and canon AE-1P. The lubitel is using ilford FP4 and the canon a mix of fp4 and hp5. You can probably tell I am not particularly careful with my negatives but I quite like the dust and scratches. All of the lubitel pictures were my first ever roll of film :) I have since progressed to the dark side and bought a digital camera!

The two long exposures were done on a "ok, its really dark, lets set the aperture tiny and then just hold down the shutter until it feels right" basis!

The guitar in that last one came out and slapped me in the face! Great colours!
 
Just going through some of my first batch of rolls from my FM2 and still trying to figure out the best settings with Vuescan. (Settings used here: neutral rgb 0.6/1/0.6, curve low high 0.35/0.65 brightness 1.3)

Currently using Superia 200 but prefer to use the "generic" film profile in Vuescan.

This was shot at the Tate Modern

I had to bribe my grandaughter with an ice cream to pose for me, so it was a quick snap while she was in the mood.

This view doesn't complain :) and it's amazing how many lenses are just as sharp (non cropped results) and stopped down compared to this CZJ flek 35mm f2.4

Rolleiflex + Tri-X. Usually my "street" shots are a little less candid then this, and I'm very unsure about it but I haven't posted anything in a while. Spur of the moment. Critique is welcome if you want!
 
^Me likey. I'd up the contrast/adjust the levels a tad though, but that's just me, I like my whites to be sparkly.

Just ran my first colour roll through the M4 (I've owned it for nearly two years). Chose some cheap Superia 400, went to my nearest 1hr photo lab. Feels weird not having to wait for your negs to dry!

And something a little different - a brick wall test :p

Used my new Hexanon for these, fantastic lens.
 
Thanks Lloyd - I went through your tumblr by the way, some absolutely great stuff, I'd be happy to even half emulate that! I need to shoot far far more. Also want to dabble in some street portraiture...

The contrast was already upped a bit (metering wasn't perfect because it was spur of the moment), fair enough.
 
Thanks! Street portraiture with a Rolleiflex is super easy, everyone loves having their photo taken with such a camera.

The contrast thing is mostly personal preference, in fact looking over it again the contrast isn't so low that it looks bad, it actually reminds me of the 40's look.

Indeed - I don't know why I have such reservations about it, considering I've had countless people strike up conversations with me upon seeing it. The most memorable was a woman at Portobello Market, she said seeing the Rolleiflex instantly brought back the smell of the film developing chemicals that her Dad used (he was a pro tog back in the day with a Rollei). It was absolutely wonderful to know just carrying it around could evoke such memories.

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but I saw your input on one of the threads a while back about street portraits - did you hand out a business card/explain what you were doing to everyone?

I was asked to do the portraits for a band before their gig at the Roundhouse, so I was given a photo pass. I just said I was shooting for the band and everyone I asked said yes, after I took the photo I handed them a card for the band's FB page instead. I guess the photo pass helped a lot. Cards will help, and then after you get a few done get them printed so you can show them to strangers who seem a bit hesitant - if they can see your work and how good it is they'll be a lot more interested as hey, it'll make for a good FB profile photo!

Borough High Street, isn't it? I hate using the Post Office on the right as I've had to queue nearly an hour on some occasions at lunch times.

I shall have to keep my eyes peeled for a bloke with a Rollei :)

That's the one - bloody horrible Post Office, I avoid it at all costs! :)

Gimme a shout if you do, although I'm probably not the only one around with a 'flex :wave:
 
This is all a good example of why I'm moving to Velvia for colour, excellent work sir :thumbs:
 
A few from Sennen on a dank wet murkey day. Ilford hp5+ and Rodinal. Im sure im following the dev times but they all seem to come out dark. Will try another minute next time and see what happens.

Wow, what film, camera, developing combination is at play here?
Click to expand...

  • Rolleiflex 3.5F, probably at f/5.6
  • Kodak T-Max 400, shot at ISO800 (gives same developing time, the film has so much exposure latitude). I found I was getting a lot of motion blur due to subjects moving when I was shooting at f/5.6, 1/60s @ ISO 400 - so the extra stop gives me 1/125s to work with instead
  • T-Max Developer, 1+4 dilution, 6:45 minutes at 20 degrees
  • Scanned with an Epson V700
 
Here's one more from the same roll - it looks a tad grainy on the bottom left hand side but that's more to do with some of my tweaking in Photoshop (tried to make it slightly brighter) which has exacerbated it. The original scan has quite controlled grain even at ISO800, the benefits of a good developer and a large negative.
