Too many fantastic shots to comment on individually but the quality of recent posts has been truly outstanding, brilliant work everybody :thumbs:
 
Having been pleasantly surprised by the roll of Shanghai GP3 I put through my recently acquired Rolleicord Va, I thought I would put a roll through my trusty Rolleicord V and fire off a few quick shots in between family duties yesterday. Not being able to join the Arundel 'Turn Out' I was doing the next best thing! The pictures below are a somewhat strange record of how I spent Saturday morning!

The film was dev'd in Ilford LC29 @ 1-29 (usually do 1-19, but will now be sticking with 1-29) and scanned rather hastily on my V500. Not to self to get the negs square in the holder next time!

For a really cheap film, I do quite like GP3!

They have come out well Adrian. Why will you be sticking to 1-29 from now on and I presume you have to lengthen the dev times accordingly.

Thanks Andy. I really do like LC29 but it isn't cheap. Having run two rolls now through it a the greater dilution, I can see no discernible difference in quality when compared to using it at 1-19. The time for the GP3 goes from 7mins to 11mins, so in the scheme of things not that much longer a wait. I'll get a few more rolls out of the bottle this way.

@Kevin Allan, that is a fantastic photograph. Should be rather pleased with that!

A couple from a recent stint to Cornwall. Shot on Astia 100F and Across respectively, and both on the Ebony LF camera. Hope you like :) (As usual, please click the images for sharper versions!)

Both really quite stunning, you are right about needing to look at the Flickr versions, the TP versions simply don't do the originals justice, inspiring work!
 
Trebarwith Strand, we had a holiday there with the kids the year we came back from Oz... great pics bring back happy memories! Agree with Adrian, the flickr versions really do add something.

I usually go for 1+29 with LC29 as well. I can't really see any difference between the different dilutions.

I highly recommend the photoexif app for iPhones for keeping track of exposures and other information (e.g., location, time, lens, camera). It's quick, easy, and allows you to add all of the information to the photos as exif data later on using the free corresponding desktop app.

Thanks very much for this tip! I downloaded it and tried it out over the last week whilst on holiday. I have to say it's a superb app! It's so much easier than using the notes app, and it lets you write the settings to the image exif data after you've scanned them. Incredible.
 
Half a dozen from Budapest, all shot on a Zenit with a Helios 44 and some Vista 200 and 400. Really wan't sure what to expect from this combination but I was pleasantly surprised. The style of the images is a far cry from most of the stuff I post.

I didn't think these were worth starting a new thread in their current state as my V500 is throwing a wobbly and is giving me nice big purple lines on the images, when I've scanned them on the Cezanne I'll consider throwing them in their own thread.

As always, all comments are welcome, even if you think they're a load of guff.

2) I converted this to deal with the odd colour casts caused by someone's flash gun going off next to me, the bright patch is just flare from the roof windows.

Love the flare on this one - really completes the "holy" look, as if there's something up there . . .
 
If you've ever watched Time Team, you'll know that archaeologists are obsessed with digging as little as possible, so that future generations, with their vastly superior technology, will have something left to dig. I feel very much the same way about Lightroom's non-destructive editing, allowing future me, who's learned a few things, to go back and fix past me's horrible mistakes.

I read a Lightroom sharpening tutorial yesterday, and I've been going back looking at old shots and re-sharpening them. I've also been wincing at what I did to shots. These two are from earlier this year, and I think I've done a much better job here than I did back then. More natural, less sharpening, fixed white-balance, not over-saturated. I'm sure in a few years, I'll know enough to scan/fix them again.

Damn, you beat me to it..... :D

Actually, I rather like them. The light in the mono one is very pleasing.

Yes, both very nice indeed. Very natural looking colours and good compositions.
