Decent results, especially considering they were all shot at f/3.5 1/15s (most probably). Might try and shoot some fast B&W film in my mju sometime and see how they turn out...

cheers mate, and yeah the F3.5 didn't help but I pushed HP5+ at 800iso. Oly Mju1 was the only camera that really works at concert(of what I've got) my friend was like 'why did you bring this little ****** instead of an SLR' :p

Did you change the DX code on the film?
 
@skysh4rk; What film are you using for those shots? Sorry if I missed if its been mention already!

That's Portra 400.

Bear in mind that colour palette is not particularly Portra 400 - most of my Portra tends to look a bit more vivid, but of course with C-41 that comes down to scanner interpretation and post-processing.

Yeah, it is Portra 400.

I've been refining/experimenting with my scanning process, so my latest photos have a slightly different look to them than my earlier efforts with Portra, which I thought were slightly too saturated.
 
Indeed. Colour palette is what your scanner and Photoshop makes it (even with slide films, but especially with colour negative). When people choose emulsions purely based on scans they have seen on flickr, they sometimes forget this and end up very disappointed when they cannot replicate it!
 
There was a thread discussing using up the last frames on the roll recently and most of mine get used up on the dog. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Bob, my soggy spaniel;

I love this one - the poses and light are gorgeous!

And the depth of field is absolutely perfect. The background is blurred only slightly so you still know what is there but enough that the subjects stand out from the image.

You're touching precisely on the reasons why I love 6x6 so much (and probably 6x7 too if I had a camera in that format) . You can emphasise your subjects, whilst still giving a sense of what is going on around them.

For me, this is particularly ideal for travel and street photos.

It also helps that lenses on MF are so sharp at every aperture too (I basically camp out at f/2.8 most of the time).

Ah, but capturing it is the trick!

If you have a cheap scanner like 4180 (bought for £3 at the bootie) it is good at scanning a 8X10 print..of course carp in carp out:-

My original print was taken using a medium format camera, so it's good quality.

I just had a gander at the large sizes on Flickr and these photos are very sharp!

How are you finding the Fuji 690 so far?

Thanks, I'm loving it.....just wish I could get the GX680 outa my head.
 
Lordy, thats good.... and I agree with Steve McG...:lol:
 
Stunning image but I'm seriously considering giving up photography and taking up crochet.

Agree with all that's been said....your shots are simply outstanding.

Maybe we need five sub sections for this thread:

1. Carp

2. Average

3. Good

4. Excellent

5. osh

I know which level I'd be posting in :D :D
 
All I can say is it's a crying shame that Osh keeps posting these images in here instead of winning this months POTY competition for Landscapes...

(if you do decide to have a go, just bear in mind, everything that you've already posted in here is no longer eligeable... hence my saying "it's a crying shame..." )
 
Thank you all for the kind comments! I'm glad I went back to this picture now. Dismissed it at first as there were a couple of others on the roll which I thought were more striking. Come to think of it, it was only on a whim as I was driving past in the late afternoon that I stopped to take some pictures in the first place - I always seem to get the best pictures that way!

Mel - I send my films to Peak Imaging. The do a great job and are consistently reliable, as well as being quite reasonable in terms of cost. I think it's £4.55 a roll now, but they always process on the day they receive the film and send it back first class, so if I send something on a Monday in the free second class mailer it always comes back on the Thursday.

In terms of scanning I just use an Epson V500 and make basic adjustments in Lightroom. I keep meaning to put my favourite transparencies together and send them off to be scanned properly though. I've had one or two drum scanned in the past and the quality has been great.

BigYin - will definitely look into it.

Cheers,

Osh
 
That's beautiful, osh.

Old studio shot, 500C/M and Portra 400.

Had a little wander down to the re-opened library in town today with my X-300 loaded with Fujicolour Press 800. I picked up a few rolls of this for a pound each last year from a local shop. I think it was expired but I have been surprised by the quality so I've kept using it. Down to my last roll now so may have to order some Superia 800. Here are a few pictures from the library and others.

A few pics from me. Just the 3rd roll shot on my Rolleicord. Portra 160. Somehow managed to do a double exposure but not sure how!!! A few not so good ones but 3 I liked:

1 - Kids eating Ice Cream

2 - Natural History Museum
8791140752_6b8bf73866_z.jpg


3 - Local Church

Still cant get over the image quality on this 50+ year old camera, especially when its fully manual.
 
Very very nice again Abbandon. I considered a 10x8 for a long time, but bottled it in the end. I do agree that Sinar's are great cameras.

Thank you Nguss if you ever feel the temptation at least you can add bits to your F1 to make it a 10x8

The silly sizes are too much for my computer to handle!
Click to expand...

:naughty: then you will not be liking the changes to flickr

Those shots of yours RJ are excelent the ones I like the most are the Royal Mile rain puddle and Striking a pose.

wow...I had a look at the larger sizes on flickr...incredible.

Not sure how many people use 10X8 these days but huge kudos to those who do... I'm still struggling to get a 1/2 decent 5x4
Click to expand...


Thank you Steve, I find 10x8 easier to work with than 5x4 and shoot it in preference for the noticabe increase in image quality but sometimes there are things you just can not practically do on a 10x8. I hope you get there with the 5x4.

I wasn'y 100% happy with those two back and whites but felt this one came out better as an ilustration of what fiddling with Scheimpflug can do for you

Some variations on the theme

Thanks I may well try Velvia 100 - could be especially useful for handheld shots. You have some wonderful pictures there - the first one in particular is stunning!
Click to expand...

Thank your osh, your latest shot is wonderfull. Provia 400X is probably worth looking at too as it still has fine grain and the bonous of another couple of stops.

Excellent shots of Littlefield Manor Trevor the colous look really great and I had not heard of it before.

The thing with the silly sizes is at the end of the day jpegs are compressed but your pc still is in effect having to deal with the real size of the file RAM wise :naughty: now with the increased limits on flickr I don't have to resize everything to below 10 000 pixels most of the larger originals are 1Gb or so as tiffs.

Nice one Asha, really needs an enormous steam train running through.

How do you find the camera travels on the bike? Do you keep it in a bag or on your person?

I ride with a small backpack....the type that are designed for runners ( they usually hold a water reservoir).

Tbh I cycle to cycle if you understand what I mean but so many times I've come across a cracking shot without a camera to hand that now I always carry one.

The EOS is dead light (for an slr anyway) so works out ideal for the bike although I sometimes take others including box cameras and folders.

No intention of taking the RZ67 though...just a tad to large/heavy that one!:D

The shadow shot in my spring treasure hunt collage was taken with the EOS too whilst riding......was a bit of fun but wouldn't advise watching where you're going through a viewfinder especailly if the road is full of hairpin bends! :gag: :D
