Show us yer film shots then!

Nick, a great set of shots, the wide ones are very nicely framed and sharpness can be over rated.

What is the camera you shot them on?

Cheers!

It's called a Black Slim Devil. An all plastic toy thing with a 22mm lens. From what I have read about it, it is a rebadged Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. Apparently they were quite De rigeur in the nineties!
 
OMG Osh that is fantastic.
 
Osh .......these "aww so cute" shots you keep posting are just too gorgeous:thumbs:

Norters ....Nice set. I pretty much try to ignore sharpness....makes me feel better about the soft results that I strive to perfect!! :D

The white trainers certainly stand out but not as much as the ultra bright PINK running shoes my mrs bought herself lately....I'll have to try grab a shot of her in them....will have to be at night, 25 iso, F/22, 1/1000 to cope with the exposure:D
 
I love the pony shots.... both these and the colour ones posted a while ago.

As Charlotte says they have a beutiful 3D effect.

Must look out for one of those, it sounds quite interesting.
 
Thank you all for your kind comments on the pony shots I was very pleased with how they came out I think using slow film/nd filter helped the 3d effect with depth of field. Came across the ponies just randomly grazing near the top of a mountain a few weeks ago may go and see if I can find them again if the weather improves! :)

Skysh4rk I haven't tried tri-x so don't know I'm afraid but others may have a better idea.

Taken at Maldon in Essex around 6 years ago. Took it thinking that the lines of the ropes, the moored boats & the power boxes all drew me into the shot. Wish I had used a Y48 filter now. Taken on Ilford FP4, developed in Ilfosol. Camera used was a Nikon F3 & the lems was a 28mm F2.8 AIS Nikkor.

Well the Rolleicord still seems to work! I will definetly now get it CLA'd
 
Hey Osh, you should speak to the Calendar producers Gotta be a market for those pony shots...and your Welsh Landscapes..

i love looking at them..
 
I made a home made 'scanner', some tracing paper under 2 pieces of glass with negs in between to keep them flat. All that supported by 2 Polaroids and a lamp in the middle. Tell me if it worked.

Brilliant winter Velvia shots, osh. AndAdrian, really nice tones out of the Kodak; I'm having a tough time with it just now. Like no 2 particularly. Cezar the one by the pool is really nice. Pretty darned good for a home-made scanner!

Cheers Chris, I am really enjoying MF at the moment.
 
What is everyone doing for scanning, i'm at the stage were i'm not sure if my scanner is good in off.
Sharpness is not perfect, i'm using a Epson V370

Lot sharper then my V370 scanner;)
 
Thanks Fred, 1957 Rolleicord and 2012 Epson V500, all working in perfect harmony!
 
While in Krakow a few weeks ago, we took the time to visit Auschwitz on a day trip. Although I'm glad that we went, it is certainly a distressing place. There is also something seemingly discordant about willingly visiting the site of humanity's greatest crimes during one's holiday.

I've been debating whether it's appropriate to share any of the handful of photos that I took there, but, ultimately, I think that it's important not to forget these events, so I thought I'd share just a few:

This is an awesome set of photo, you can really feel the atmosphere .
 
RJ, as ever your images are evocative, well constructed and thought provoking.

I also endorse your decision to post them. As the last of the survivors of the atrocities that happened at this place come to the end of their lives we need not only to remember but also we need to ensure that the young are told about what one group of humans did to another group of humans at this terrible place.
 
I also agree that they should be posted.

My only minor criticism is with the out of focus foreground on the first image. If you crop off the bottom so that the rails go right into the corners of the frame, it is a much more powerful image.


Steve.

Many thanks. It was virtually empty while we were there, which I think helped add to the atmosphere and eeriness of the photos.

Thanks for the kind words and support, Adrian. I was recently chatting to someone who hadn't heard of Auschwitz, so that convinced me that it was important to post even just a few of the photos.

Hi Steve, thanks for the feedback.

It's probably against recommended practice, but I actually rather like out of focus foregrounds in my photos; however, I'll have a tinker on my computer later to see how it looks!

I simply cannot agree with this more, nor can I find a better way of putting it.

Don't change anything as they look amazing how they are.

Cezar, I really like these and your 'home brew' scanning technique looks excellent!

The first one looks like a shot from the 60's and the last one has great symetry, all are good though!

Many thanks for the feedback; I suppose these differences in opinion demonstrate the very subjective nature of photography. I don't think I will make any changes to the photo in this instance, as I've intentionally done very little post-processing to these photos (you can see all of the dust from the scanning that I would have normally cloned out), but I do really appreciate Steve's feedback and it's something I'll keep in mind for future photographs. It's hard to improve without taking criticism on board and I can definitely see what Steve was saying.

I don't know how big you could print these, but the results from your makeshift 'scanner' looks pretty solid as I view them on my iMac.
