Welcome to TP and the Dark Side, hlens. That's worked really well for a £1 film in challenging conditions. Do you remember the shutter speed?

Thank you, been a long time lurker here :D
Shutter speed I think it was around 1/15ish so it was a very pleasant surprise. Was quite skeptical about the V£sta but now i'll definitely stock up!

Edit: Another handheld on the same day

And a few more from snowy London! Fujicolor C200 this time

Loving the squares JB. The thistles are super.
 
James, I agree with Trevor (except those aren't thistles... but I've forgotten what they are!). You didn't say what gear you're using other than 120?
 
Couldn't help myself capturing this guy in Monaco the other week:

Before:

then approx an hour later:

Yep, really rather like that photograph Mel, great work.

Also find myself really liking James's fourth photograph, and yet have no idea why. I just find something about it pleasing. I'm such a great help!
 
There's nowt wrong with liking something just because you like it, its called aesthetics or summat....
 
@psychology - Cheers :thumbs: I do like number 3!

Love those shots Mel. You seem to be getting along just fine with that new toy of yours!

Another shot testing out my F100 and 28-80mm AF-D, Agfa Vista 200 converted to Monochrome
 
I remember his brother Sir Walter.....sorry.

I'm actually quite impressed with how well the old £land Agfa converts and I think this is proof of that, good shot Adrian. :thumbs:

Since I was last here, I acquired a 65mm Schneider Super Angulon lens and built myself a 6x12 wide angle panoramic camera.

Here are the shots from the first test roll:

Fan..Fippin..Tastic...what a guy.

Smashing camera, I can't even knock a nail in.

I'm not worthy...
 
I didn't manage to get out much in the snow this year (we only had about one day of it down here) so here are a few from a couple of years ago. Taken with a Yashica Minister rangefinder camera which I paid £8 for at a car boot sale on Ilford SFX infra red film but used as a normal film without the infra red filter as it was the only film I had at the time:

Oh I say, they're a little saucy......... Excellent.

Very very nice... and the shots are quite good, too!
 
First roll of HP5 in 35mm, I can see why some people aren't keen.

The light was doing me no favours in trying to get some separation between the Ross fountain and castle rock. I was mainly playing with hyperfocal which I seem to have managed. Not that you can tell between the slightly intrusive grain in the shadows and the slightly soft Miranda 28mm

This one isn't so bad, though both were pretty underexposed despite me dialing in a stop extra

Ross Fountain in Princess St. Gardens by steveo_mcg, on Flickr

Both shot on my OM30, HP5, Rodinal 1+100 for an hour (its all I had...)


aaaannd they've been over-sharpened by flickr...

Yup, not a fan. Grain is too obtrusive (Fomapan renders a better look if I wanted grain), detail is usually only so-so, the tones are far inferior compared to, say, any of the Fuji Neopan films... not sure why it's so popular!
 
not keen on HP5+ myself either - though I do like the subjects and composition of the shots. I actually prefer FP4 pushed a couple of stops to HP5 if I need something a little quicker.

Cheers Mark.

I'm quite liking Foma400 but thats been in 120 not tried 135 yet. TBH I only bought it because I wanted to try out the zoom for my OM30 and the light was not going to cut the Kentmere 100 I had so I had to stop in a boots and get something faster. If I hadn't lent Chris the folder I'd have used that but with 36 frames you know what its like, its never the right film for the job. It done a reasonably well at the zoo but with the zoom it wasn't trying to resolve the same amount of detail.

one thing I found with using Flickr for hosting film stuff, is that flickr's resize algorithm and it's attendent resharpening really does no favours to the image in terms of grain. I got to the point that I'd actually upload the 1024px longest side shot that i'd want to use on here to flickr, rather than a larger version - that way I could use the "Original" option which seemed to not suffer from sharpening artifacts (or at least not to the same extent)
 
HP5 is OK in my book, can't really tell the difference between it and Tri-X:

Both are HP5+ @ 400, I've pushed it to 800 before though.

Its certainly done that penguin no favors at all! Maybe I'll just stick to slower finer films so flickr doesn't get too hung up. I'll probably just live with it, but its probably worth bearing in mind especially on the unfamiliar 400 thread.

Lloyd, those look much better than my attempts. How did you process them and what format?

Steven: both are 35mm, the first was developed in ID11 using the standard Ilford times/temps and the second was a lab dev (since I didn't have the means to develop film back when I shot that roll).
