Woohoo, first C41 development done!

Well and truly OOD Fuji 800Z exposed as ISO 100, shot in my new Pentax ME then developed in Rollei chems.

It's so easy isn't it?! I'm shooting a lot more colour now I can do it myself. I also use the Rollei chemicals. I hope you didn't make the same mistake as me and let your curiosity get the better of you and sniff one of the dev concentrates! I had a headache for a few days!

Good shots too by the way :) A very handsome dog.

Very much like these, Trevor, specially the first. I'm amazed at them, TBH. I really struggle to "see" in black and white these days. It was natural when I started, but when I transferred to colour after a few years, it's always been hard to go back. I've been keeping colour in the ME and mono in the MX, and roughly alternating their use. But I'm thinking I should maybe send the ME off for a CLA, and relegate colour to digital only.
 
Agree with Chris the first one is very nice indeed, great tones.

And Chris I'll think you'll find that before the launch of colour television on BBC2 in 1967 we lived in a monochrome world, making 'seeing' in b&w very simple indeed.
 
Chris, Nick. Thanks very much.

I'm training myself to see in mono, also just winged it with sunny 11.

:lol:

The smell of the film after it comes out of the stabiliser is enough to make me not want to get the bottles too close to my nose!

Also rather amused by the very funky shades my chems have turned! Much like the way Adox CMS20 turns clear/yellow fixer into something resembling Robinsons Summer Fruits Squash!

Going to go and do another roll of C41 now, it's about 15 years old and is Tudor so this is going to be interesting!

Trevor: Another vote for the first shot from me ....

I have also been out with my recently acquired yashmat:

Look closely approx haf way down the frame and a third in from the left, there is a cyclist visible exiting the bend on the road.

Thanks Asha, btw I think that cyclist is waving at you. !!
Good performers the YashMat, very happy with mine.

From the tail end of the roll of Tudor in the ancient Oly Trip MD3:

Shot in October

and this shot sometime this year before the camera died for good:

Lomotastic!

The start of the roll (which I haven't got to yet!) appears to have some shots of me from a good few years ago on it which should be a good laugh!

Had to take a 2nd look and zoom the shot up 100% as curiosity was too much :D.....he has definetly got both hands on the bars.

I hadn't actually noticed that there are two cyclists....the other being located slightly further up the hill, blending in very much with the rocks.
 
This one was taken during a snowfall with a Nikon F801 + Rollei Retro 100
Lith printing Moersch SE5 on old Agfa Brovira textured paper.

Well, shooting a dimly lit church with no chimping has reminded me to think more about exposure! Pretty awful B&W development and scan from mainstream lab here...but look ok-ish after some curves tweaking.

And very impressed with the Leica shots Chris, lovely tones.

Bernard, that's a really nice result. Could you please tell us more about how you achieved it? I'm guessing this was pretty much a full light/chemical process right up to scanning the print, but I'd love to know more. Also, have you tried achieving similar effects from scans of negatives, digitally? Does that make sense?
 
Whenever I see you've posted new shots it's always with a sense of trepidation that I open up the thread. I have to steel myself for the impending sense of inadequacy I always feel after seeing your shots.

And guess what, that feeling has washed over me once more, you really do squeeze every last drop of gorgeousness out of your cameras and film.

The best thing for me about these is that it pushes me to try harder, these are stunning :clap::clap::clap:

If I was wearing a cap I would be doffing it right now but I suppose we'll have to wait for Andy to turn up with his whippet.
 
Oh gosh, osh!

Clearly I MUST buy a Mamiya 7, that way I'll be able to take photos as good as yours! (Not...)

Velvia?

I was interested that you used a hard grad, on scenes with quite a bumpy horizon, but I can't see where the grad was (if you know what I mean). I've only tried grads a couple of times (relatively soft Cokin A120), and haven't tried any proper comparisons. But these are stunning...

I think you should enter one of your landscapes in the "anything goes" last round of the 2013 POTY. They blow anything achieved in the earlier Landscape round out of the water (although that was "no PP").
 
Osh, they are more than beautiful.
I'm not too sure they needed the filter but beautiful all the same.

Osh, Nick and Chris have nailed my response.

I am definitely not worthy...must try harder..

Glad to, Chris if it can help some folk to jump on lith printing.
You're quite right, it is totally analog up to scanning the picture.
Negative is developed normally.
To print it I use Moersch SE5, dilution 25ml A+ 25ml B + 25ml old brown, classical ratio.
I keep my bathes above 35°C to have reasonable development times.
This one was printed on a very old (20 years +) fogged paper. It works very well with lith.
For recent papers, I use Slavitch Bromportrait and Unibrom, not too expensive and lith very well. I'll post some examples here.

Of course, one could do a similar processing with Photoshop I guess.
I would try texturing the photo, then burning and dodging but the look and feel of the printed result will never be the same.

Well here I am, cap in hand as t'were and I am doffing it to Osh as we speak.

For all there technical excellence and beauty lets not forget that a lot of the skill is in the composition and our very good friend Osh seems to have nailed that bit as well. Simply stunning and we must get you on one of our film meets one day.

Andy
 
Perhaps if we had a film meet in Wales we could persuade osh to come along?

I know the digi folks do have meets in Wales, but I've not heard of a F&C meet there since I came on board last year...
 
Very nice Ariel, like it.

Chris, good idea. I don't think we've done Wales yet.

Agree with your thoughts on the Ferrari as well :thumbs:

Great idea, any thoughts for a location for a bit of Welsh landscape fun?

Add him to flickr for full self flagellation effect.

Osh gorgeous as ever... Git :D

Went on a TP meet to North Wales, around Llanberis and Anglesey, nice and easy to get to and incredibly photogenic
 
Thanks all! Didn't have much chance to take pictures in Skye, but I'm very keen to get back there, as the photographic possibilities are amazing! I can imagine the winter in particular being pretty spectacular. I certainly agree that Wales would be a good place for a film meet - plenty of possibilities around Snowdonia and Anglesey!

Thanks Chris. On the subject of grads there's a very good article here (applies equally to rangefinders and TLRs and explains the lack of a distinct line, even with hard grads): http://www.brucepercy.co.uk/blog/2008/03/17/placement-of-nd-grads-on-a-mamiya-7/
 
Just to seriously reduce the landscape standard produced by osh ( Git....yes, even i'm unable to hide my envy now :D ), here a couple of carp efforts from me.

I hold onto the excuse that it's the age of the cameras that stops me obtaining 'G'osh" results! :D

No 1 was taken with a 1956 Super Paxette (35mm film) and No 2 with a No2A Folding Pocket Brownie from 1910 (adapted 120 film)

I like both of those Asha, they have a lovely old-fashioned feel to them.

I also think you may have hit upon the new standard word of praise. If its given a G'osh then you know its a good 'un.:thumbs:
