Thanks for the comments Brian and yes I do agree about the hit and mis output from Asda scans, cheap and cheerful but with some work to do. The colours are quite garish, a bit like e the colours on the painters canvas! I think I might rescan myself and see what I come up with.

Adrian hope you don't mind but I copied your image to PS and reduce saturation by 34%, then set gamma to 71%, and it really looks great on my monitor.
 
I remember shooting some stuff with the Pinholga - was a shot of the Ribblehead Viaduct iirc, and I was set up just off the footpath that goes up Whernside. Well - with that camera, there are times when you're into an entire herd of elephants - boy did I get some funny looks from the red-socks on their 3-Peaks walks :lol:

Brian, please feel free, I welcome it, particularly as I am pretty poor at pp, also feel free to post the image. I am on a real learning curve with PP so assistance is genuinely appreciated
 
after Brians post I had a quick look myself, and it didn't look bad - though I was tempted to work with adjustment layers and mask the painting from the saturation reduction... I'll not post the result, as it was a terrible rough masking job and but the idea was possibly worth exploring with a full-res. image.

What do you think? was the colour on the shade more lime green? Maybe the road is a bit too pink and could reduce it but the picture would IMO look too "cold".

Mark, thanks for taking a look, I am a serious pedestrian when it come to pp and I really should invest a little time in in going beyond sharpening and levels!

Brian, that looks really good and considerably more natural than my original. The shade colour is pretty close to the actual colour and I think the real road is quite pink. Nice work, I am very pleased with that!

Quite a lot of contrast in these but I like them, particularly drawn to the detail that you've captured under the arches of the bridge in the first one.

Hope you don't count "elephants" outloud....youn never know who's listening nor what they think of you!! :cuckoo: :D

Thanks for the compliment. I still have a long way to go before I am near the standards you lot set!

And regarding thinking aloud, I work in an open plan office. Thinking aloud is the only way I can drown out the hubbub. I have no shame there...

I have a soft spot for textures particularly wood/trees hence why this appeals.

The shallow DoF works perfectly.....F/2 ish I would guess??

Thanks Asha, I love wood and stone also and as I am not any good or knowledgeable in B&W film I am trying to stay with subjects that I like.:thumbs:

f2.8 if I remember correctly.

Nikon F2, Vivitar 28mm F2.5 @f5.6, Agfa Vista. Tesco develop and scan.

So I've been unsuccessfully searching for my treasure hunt images all month and getting really frustrated! On the upside, the D76 I ordered on New Year's Day FINALLY showed up yesterday. I think I have figured out myself why a lot of people use it! I reckon these are my best negatives yet since I have been home developing. These were Tri-X rated at 320 and devved 1+1 for nine and three-quarter minutes. Shot with my Trip:

I had to double take at this :lol:



lost by rednorters, on Flickr



binned them by rednorters, on Flickr



staircase by rednorters, on Flickr

These have all had a contrast boost in LR after scanning. As good as the negatives were (to me anyway), they were all slightly lacking in contrast. Could they have done with a little more time/agitation? For these I did thirty seconds at the start and two inversions every minute.

Thanks for looking as always :thumbs:

Mark, if that is your home in the Canterbury area then brilliant, it looks wonderful and is without doubt a great part of the world to live. On the photo aspect I think it needs a bit of contrast applied to give the shot that buss it deserves, like to see that stone work shout at me.:thumbs: Wonderful looking family.

Richard.
 
Wish it was mine Richard! That's Scotney Castle - near Lamberhurst.

Thanks for the point about contrast, I am only just starting to tinker with software. That is untouched and was scanned when developed (Ilford).

Regards

Mark
 
" mins and this"

No sharpening, just a tweak in the contrast, shadows etc and I am sure a better man or woman than me can get more from the shot.:thumbs:
 
Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Fantastic osh, really excellent shot. I can see me spending a lot more money on Velvia and its processing. Darn it, I thought I had that itch under control!
 
Fab slide shot. I bet it looks even better to the eye, although the scan has done a pretty good job :thumbs:
 
I've been randomly picking shot rolls out of my fridge and developing them, I have no idea what's in them until I pull the negs out of the tank. These were from before Xmas:

Thank you all for the kind comments! :) I'm really enjoying the Velvia, and seem to be getting better results with the scanner too, though as freecom2 suggests the actual slide looks great! ChrisR - money well spent I would say!
 
Poundland Vista in Rodinal 1:100 for an hour. The contrast has been boosted in Gimp and some of the frames on the strip completely defeat the focus mechanism on my Scan Dual II with Vuescan. This is Little Venice this afternoon. This is just about the cheapest form of film photography there is I guess and is therefore well suited to my financial situation!

Osh and Lloyd, excellent work in two different ways. I'm very impressed with the velvia, top composition, lovely colours and a really good scan. And the black and white has lovely tones and contrast.
Very impressed.

composition . is . gorgeous.

well done


MindofMel said:
YES!

Might pick up a fed lol..
Click to expand...

thanks Mel, I'll swap you one for your hassy?

Seriously, I love the fed2 enough to make me realise I could drop money on a well kept leica II or III and be relatively confident it would be worth the investment. So for 50 quid the thing has done me well, also I don't worry about throwing it around in my work satchel. However the industar lenses are horridly prone to flare, or at least I hope it's flare. If not I have a issue with the cloth shutter.

Really like the headstones, Matt, getting a proper early-80s horror movie feel from that one :)

You can almost see Peter Cushing's shadow in there:)

Nick, another great set of urban monochromes!

A few weeks ago in Warwick ave on the bridge was a girl with a film camera...about 200 yards from where you took your shot erm two people with film cameras walking around :thumbs:
 
No large paper in the darkroom? Guess Ill just have to collage 17 sheets of expired and partially fogged 7x5 paper instead.

Full of fingermarks and developing defects but they add to the character :D
 
The collage effect very much compliments the subject, nice solution!
