Andy a really excellent set, you must be pleased with the new 124G, did I remember correctly that you had one before? The shots are certainly nicely composed and very sharp.

I particularly like the abstract quality of the mono balustrade, very strong image indeed!

Ran a roll of Vista through the Mamiya in addition to some Panf, results a little hit or miss and scanning was difficult I had to scan them on the glass as the frames were either too long to go in the sleeves or too short to go in the 120 film holder. Developed by Asda.

Early ones, just after loading the film it wasn't so hard to frame but the later ones I couldn't remember where the film was on the view finder.

More very strong images using this technique? This is a very interesting and different take open using 35mm, as mentioned in another thread it's a sort of XPan alternative! I am definetly going to five this a try!

Thanks Adrian and Woodsy, I'm fairly pleased with the camera but I'm a little disappointed in the general quality of my photography. Out of 5 rolls I probably only got 5 shots I'm happy with although I may be being a bit too harsh on myself. Trouble is I see the quality of the images from the likes of RJ and Osh and I feel my stuff isn't on that level and I want it to be.....grrrr.
I think maybe its the scanning and pp that needs some work as well or maybe I'm just not in a good place at the moment and everything seems a bit flat....oh dear I seem to have drifted off into melancholy. Get a grip lad.....:lol:

RJ, what film were these taken on, lovely colour.

5 out of 5..my kind of ratio.
Hey, we all visit 'The Place' from time to time and its easy to be intimidated by some of the shots on here.
Most of us will have thought twice about something we'd like to post...and refrained thinking its not good enough.
Stop worrying and keep shooting...it'll click (geddit) soon enough.
 
Thanks Trev, I'm just in a monday morning mood today. I shall have another look at them later in the week, probably they will look better when I feel happier.

I'm generally coming round to the thought of putting some time between shooting and scanning. When the IRL scene is still fresh in your mind the results on screen are always a little pale. The corollary of that is if you wait too long and your imagination builds the image up to being much better than it really could be...

I like those and I've shot a lot of film round there! In fact I'm sure I've got a slide of nearly the same shot as your one of the castle, square and all!

Andy isn't the only one with a new Yashica Mat-124 G. Only put 1 roll through so far in the back garden. Metered with an incident light meter.. Natch..



Nice and sharp at f11, nice and lightweight tho a bit slow to use and no close focussing. Also the speed and aperture readouts are TINY and hard for old gits to see. Also also, the little adjuster knobs are easy to knock, so accidentally shot at wrong settings once or twice and too blind to notice, so will stick to me Bronica for now. Big knobs, big writing!

Very nice monochrome squares, I love this sort of texture study!

On the issue of small numbers on camera controls I am in the same club! I need to wear glasses to read the frame numbers, shutter speed dial, aperture ring, just about everything, oh for the vsion of youth when the wee numbers were all so clear!!!

What I really need is a top notch MF camera with a 'Magoo' mode:lol:

Andy, 5 good shots in five rolls is beating me by a good margin! I think you just have to keep on shooting through these 'imaging blues' or that is what I keep telling myself.

Oooo, I want a Yashica Mat-124 G to play with too; they seem to be very popular at the moment. To keep with the recent theme of medium format shots, here are a couple of my own photos from Easter weekend:

RJ, more cracking 120 squares, I love the sense of colour you regularly achieve and the fantastic use of DoF, you set the bar very high for the rest of us.

Also big congratulations on the engagement too!
 
Andysnap said:
Ok how many of you looked at the camera berfore the ring....:lol:

Congrats matey both on the engagement and the crackingly good shots. :thumbs:

Thanks on both counts!

Well RJ the quality of your shots are very good and don't think you would get an improvement with a Yashica 124.

Thanks :). Yeah, I'm very happy with the photos from my SQ-A and don't feel I need anything else, but it would be fun to have a TLR to play with as well.

Thanks on all counts, Adrian! I'm still learning the ins and outs of the camera, metering, scanning, etc.; but I think it's coming along well and am feeling very comfortable with Portra 400 at the moment.
 
So have finally got myself a Hasselblad. 500CM model that I think a few forum members own.

It's a thing of beauty.

This is my first attempt at trying to get it to synch with a trigger and strobe lights. The trigger only fired 8 times out of the roll of 12...not sure why. Maybe a loose cable or problem with lens.

Steve that is a lovely black and white portrait, top work indeed.

1977, that is quite a break, you should rightly feel chuffed with that. There is just such a great sense of achievement for me in getting back to home developing! Sad I know but who cares!

You're absolutely right. It feels like completing the circle..
 
Thanks Charlotte.
 
Thanks for the comments. I also took a colour version of it as well on Provia (this one was on Ilford Delta 100) and am waiting for it to be developed.... can only home process black and white.

Will be interesting to see how they compare.
 
Hey Justin, very relaxed trio. Good little set.

haha.....too true....it never stops feeling magical.

Love the second picture...I feel I want to follow the trail to see where it leads.
 
Justin, great set of shots, the 19mm is yielding some great results for you.
 
Wanted this shot since "spring" started, the late snow meant the hills caught the sun quite late in the day normally it would be dark by the time the sun got round for this. This was the best angle I could find for it, should have gone higher but I was running out of time.

Thanks Adrian, it's my go to lens (Tamron 19-35) with the FM2n it's just a great all round set up for street work or landscapes. One body, one lens, one set of filters, several spare rolls of film and a lens cloth and I'm good for most days.

I'm starting to see the entire world in wideangle - my eyes seem to be re-calibrating themselves from the typical 50mm focal length O_o.

The 19mm also helps with portraits, because you are rarely pointing the camera straight at the subject, that seems to help them relax. Also as you have to be up so close you are less sneaky and it forces you to actively engage with the subject.
 
Bloody stunning mate.
