Show us yer film shots then!

That first one is fantastic, I like the third a lot too. What did you do to the colour? It's a nice effect.

No PP I put the colour down to the lens and Agfa.
 
Trevor you've just put mine to shame, thanks! :) :) :) great set! Love the colours, comp...everything really. Was that with a vivitar ic101?

Yes, same camera. £10 on eBay. Only used it the once. Must dust it off again.
 
that top one is a cracker :thumbs: im a total sucker for sunbeams and thats a beaut.
 
We should do one of them travelling camera threads! Spread the vivitar panoramic love around!

Not sure the build quality would survive the trip...
 
Some of you may know I got a Pentax-M 85mm f/2 on the bay and it had a lazy iris. After some debate about sending it back, I took a risk, got a rebate, and sent it and my Pentax MX off to Miles Whitehead. It's come back nice and snippy snappy, and I've just got my test film back (Vista, of course). I'm pretty impressed; the iris is definitely fine, and the images are nice and sharp and good contrast. A couple were not well-focused, but that could be the cold weather (increasingly hard to hold the camera when it's cold). The shots are nothing much, but here's one of Guy's Cliffe in Warwick...

First 35mm in a while as I have been mostly shooting 120. Seriously out of date Kodacolor 100 through the eye of my Nikkor 24mm on an F3HP, Asda dev and Scan

Certainly a nice sharp shot, it looks like the lens was worth the risk, it seems to shoot well. 85 is a nice focal length too!

Not a very inspiring shot. Poor dull conditions and more a test really. Taken with my Bronica ETRS with a 35mm panoramic back.
 
another couple, slightly better than the first.

The main thing was that my ebay purchased 35mm back worked ok as anything I have read on the web said that they were a bit fragile.
 
Thanks Woodsy and Orac! After seeing Woodsy's Portra photos recently I am now chomping at the bit to try some myself. In fact I ordered some as soon in 120 as I saw his lighthouse photo to practice a little before I start ruining the 10 sheets of 4x5 I also bought.
 
Here's one taken for International Commie Camera Day 2013.

Pentacon Six, Fuji Acros 100, Thornton 2 bath developer.

Here are a few from the rolls of Agfa Vista 200 I've been trying (the £1 Poundland stuff). I'm well impressed for a quid! Very gentle, soft, muted colours and it seems to cope with most conditions pretty damned well. I think I have a new knockabout film!

Scanned on an Epson V500 and given very minimal PP.

All good filmy fun. :)
 
Nice work there Paul, lovely set.

Thanks Charlotte.
 
Bit nervous posting these, not very long dabbling in film at all but hey ho!

A few taken yesterday in Oxshott woods, stunning place. It's pretty mad how close it is to London, think I'll be there very regularly now...

The rest of the hit & miss set is here (no crops on anything etc, just as they were out the box): http://www.flickr.com/photos/95398176@N02/sets/72157633384930437/with/8700447627/

I really like the third one, it has a nice abstract feel to it. Also remember this months film challenge is trees.

Thanks Steve, it's part of a project that I'm currently doing about looking up more and seeing the things we often miss by trudging along looking down.

I didn't know that, I'll check the thread now.. Although I'll never be able to pick a shot! :thumbs:
 
Very nice set of images there Bucket. No need to be afraid of posting in here, we don't really critique in this thread but there is the Photos from Film thread in the main section if you do want a more detailed critiqueing...ooeer thats sounds a bit rude.

Cracking set Bucket.....1st and 2nd for me.....are there any "green lanes" in there as against tarmac roads?....a shot like the first with a vegetation covered route through would be very nice.

As Steveo mentioned, we hold a monthly film challenge ( well ok often it ends up being two months cos us filmies drag our feet at times! :D).

The theme for this month is "Tree (s)".....looks like you may have found a cracking place to get a winning shot.

More details here

The winner of the challenge receives a fantastic prize......The opportunity to choose the theme for the next film challenge.:D

Your more than welcome to join in......

Oh and btw, welcome to the F&C section of TP.

Hi Asha, thanks a lot :).

I'll attempt to try and pick favourite from the bunch or just ask someone else to select one and I'll pop it in :thumbs:.

By Green Lanes, do you mean trodden pathways? More like this?

I didn't find any sort of overgrown paths when I was there, but I didn't explore all of it (it would take forever!).

Yes like that with a tunnel of trees like in your first shot.

I used enjoy walking dissused railway lines in the UK.....often they were well overgrown with the trees making natural tunnels.......beautiful when the sunlight ( that occasionally showed itself! lol) was broken up through the leaves/braches. into "puddles" of light on the ground.
 
Mark, that first tree sculpture one is lovely. Erik, a couple of really moody shots. I like the second because of her bare feet!
 
Thanks Chris, that one took ages as my Swiss Army knife wasn't very sharp that day

GF670, Portra 400. More here. I've been doing all my work in film in 2013. I love it.

Incredible shots, especially the second. The first shot is underexposed on my (uncalibrated) screen though, not sure if that's intentional (artistic moodiness and all that :lol:) but I think a slight bump up in exposure wouldn't do the shot any harm.

EDIT: sorry I just realised this wasn't strictly a critique thread!

These are truly beautiful. I love the subdued colours giving a dream like quality to the images.
