Show us yer film shots then!

Mark I completely forgot to reply to you! I didn't have a chance at first and then... Sorry!

You found the highstreet then, tbh its hard not to find stuff to photograph up there

One from my last roll from the top of Advocates Close during a lunch time stroll.

No worries Steven, there was plenty to see. I did photograph that tower in the background of your shot and was tempted to climb it to take some from the top but didn't in the end. We had a great time and Britannia was well worth a visit.

Testing the new F100 with some 8 year old XP2 processed in Tetenal C41 kit. For some reason the stabiliser left a slimy residue which has made a bit of a mess of the negs.

It means the stabiliser is no longer useful as bacteria has started to grow in it.
 
Well that didn't last very long, it's only had 2 and a bit films through it!
 
sealed with no air since mixed on 3rd August this year, same as the rest of the chems

Nice shot; presumably from the GA645 turned sideways... how sensible does taking a ladscape (portrait fashion) seem with that camera?

That's a cracking shot. Well worth taking the fuji with you.

Many thanks! The trek to the top was a little bit longer than I'd thought it'd be, but it was worth it.

Thanks, Chris. :)

It's not a problem at all to turn the camera sideways. Although the body itself seems relatively large in size, it's actually quite light and well balanced. The only caveat is that the camera must be turned with the right hand on the bottom, which is the opposite of what most people do, otherwise you can adversely affect the meter and autofocus sensor.

It's an amazing camera to have, as you get medium format quality in a very compact package. The retracting lens makes it far easier for me to travel with than any of my 35mm SLRs.

Richard/Alan, whatever you name is:D. I have greyhound racing in my family blood, my Uncle won the derby back in the 70,s and to me that is just one of the great greyhound shots, it is a shame that the feet are hidden by the curve of the mound,but, never the less, it is brilliant and to me looks like it is from the 60,s which I hope you were trying to achieve.

Great looking ex-racer? I hope he is your dog.
 
^^^ Excellent, love the looks of joy and I like the way they are all running into the image. Great shot Mark.

Lovely photo Mark.

Has a timeless quality to it, in the sense that this is the kind of things that kids of any generation would love and enjoy... a simple pleasure experienced across the years away from the usual absorbing mobile phones etc.
 
Thanks chaps. That was Whitstable about three weeks ago and looking out of my window now I dont think we are going to be doing much more swimming this year!

I really like this one Mark, although it looks to me that there is some uneven banding on the right hand side of the picture.

Lovely shot. It looks as though the childrens hair is still dry so you got the shot first time, well done ( I'd have never managed that).

Lovely happy image, very nicely caught! :)

A few more hot off the drum scanner. I think I might actually have posted one or two of these before, I can't remember, I'm just enjoying seeing how more I can pull out of them drum scanning rather than firing them through the V500!

The first two are Superia 100, 3 is Agfa Vista and 4 is Acros, all are 35mm. :)

My word that drummer is really dragging some detail out of the images, excellent shots as well.

Another one from an occasional series of images I have tried to give an aged effect too, as of yesteryear or even days of yore. Mamiya C330/55mm lens/Kodak Portra 160 then converted in Topaz b&w Efex.

Wow Andy I like that esp as it has a slight sepia cast which could represent a shot anytime in the last hundred years.
 
Thank you Brian, I added a little sepia tone to it in PSE 11 as well as the vignette.

It does David, no idea what that is but will take a look at the negative.

I did only get the one go with the kids jumping - I think i got lucky with that!

Thanks for the comments all :thumbs:

I really like the composition of that last one Paul - the atrium? - there is something very pleasing about the balance.

Thanks very much Andy! To be honest I'm really quite astounded at just what can be pulled from a 35mm frame, naturally it has to be absolutely pin sharp in the first place (which is rare for me at the best of times) but it's impressive jsut how much detail 35mm can record!

Thanks Mark! It's inside Leeds Corn Exchange. :)

He's got unknown history this one, he was found abandoned scavenging through bins at a campsite, we rescued him and gave him a home. He's absolutely bonkers - here he is leaping out of the shrubbery, just like a pair of kids! :lol:



fast little buggers, that was an exposure of 1/400!
 
I like this one. A good contrast between the sky and the purple lighting on the bridge.

Great stuff as always! One on Ektar 100, which I must admit is a brilliant film.
Click to expand...

Whoa, the Ektar looks so clean and smooth here that I actually thought this was a digital photo at first. I've personally had some difficulty with Ektar 100 and colour casts, but you seem to be getting along with it quite well. :)
 
Thanks all! Fred you are right, it is medium format, thought I would try it in MF to see if I could get the feel of it before ruining my 4x5 sheet film.

Also thanks skysh4rk. I thought that because people have said it has a blueish cast I would try it at twilight where it probably would not matter so much, and might be an advantage. It scans really well. You may think it looks like digital but it was a nightmare to dust spot! As an aside the dynamic range of the film is brilliant. This was either 30 seconds or 1 minute (I took two) and there did not seem to be any real reciprocity issue either.

Honestly? Thanks! I am not very sure about it at all, but I will have a look at the other one I took from a different when I get a bit free time to scan it. I hadn't used the MF camera for ages so most of the roll was a complete right off, double exposures, blank frames, the lot but I hardly ever use negative film so was surprised at how much exposure latitude / dynamic range it has.
