Ive had a look and yes the dots are on the negatives so i presume its the film or the development process at fault?

I've never had any problems with Lucky 100, does it look like the marks are on the film or part of the film?

My First ever roll of film! Its an expired roll of Lucky 100 ISO its got some strange large dots all over it too? Is this because its expired or have i or the lab done something wrong?

Really pleased with the results for my first roll of film ever though and was a lot of fun even if it took nearly 2 weeks to get it back from the lab! I'm defiantly looking into developing myself after that.

Those dots, more like blobs, are particularly visible in the last one, and in the magnified version on flickr. Not dust, not drying marks, not reticulation (film base damage with extreme age) as far as I can see. Maybe poor chems at the lab?

BTW if you want a faster return try Peak Imaging, you'll usually get it back in 3 days or less. Their scans aren't cheap, though.

Flax the Welsh mountain pony finishing his last shift!

Flax was the last working pit pony to leave the UK coal mines in 1994. Taken in the North East with my Bronica ETRSi using a 50mm lens and Porta 400NC film.

Why didn't you post this in the new/old film challenge? It would have been in my top three without a doubt.
 
How about a bit of madness... I'm shooting only black and white just now, so when a strong rainbow happened outside my window, I thought, what the heck...\



I was remembering a lovely (colour) shot (no 3 of that post) by @Andysnap which made me wonder if the light from the rainbow itself is effectively drawn from the area outside the bow, leaving the area inside relatively brighter. I think it shows up above... but black and white rainbows are clearly not nearly so interesting as coloured ones!

I humbly and respectfully disagree.

I think this might be indicative of why I much prefer B+W to colour.

I know what a rainbow looks like; I've seen a lot of them.

Don't often see a black and white one though.
 
Yes, perhaps the word was not "interesting", perhaps they are not as charming as coloured ones? I was pleased that something came out at all!
 
Well a quick glance thought it was a super water cannon esp with the water on the ground, but come on guys how can a rainbow look good in B\W unless you can show all the tones :rolleyes:

I think maybe it was the lab that got it wrong ill try peak next time and see if the blobs reoccur. Thanks guys :-)

afaik x-ray film tends to come in either green or blue versions and the colour refers to the colour of the light sensitivity from the medical viewing screens.

It can be loaded using weak red safe light like a Kodak Jr. 7w bulb, I used a changing tent. It can also be developed under a similar safe light, as I don't have a darkroom I used a Paterson Orbital tank. I developed the film for 6mins at 20c in Rodinal 1+50. I have since read that others have had success using Rodinal 1:100 for 6 mins, I'll give that a go next time (this was my first time using x-ray film).
 
You should post more mate, quality shot.

Interesting composing. What colour was the flower?

Where did you get the xray film? I've looked but couldn't find any local.

The tulip was black/dark purple.
The film came from the Film Photography Project store in the USA.
 
First roll of film through my new toy :)

Just got my hands on a Hasselblad 500cm, 50mm f4 Distagon, 80mm f2.8 Planar, 150mm f4 Sonnar, Prism Finder, WL finder, 2 backs, Acute-Matte screen & sun shades, All in absolute mint condition, with the body having very little use and has never been down the mines. :ty: Martpix for giving me first refusal on this stunning example. So, of I went to Lumsdale in Matlock, Derbyshire (my favourite "testing things out" place) to put a roll of film through it.

I'm a very happy bunny :)
 
You have got a very fine camera and have taken some very fine images with it. Well done.
 
Very nice Kevin.......i like the inclusion of the headstone.....puts the cherry on the cake as it were!
 
That Portra does convert to black and white very well, Kevin; couple of nice shots there. But given what a nice film it is in colour, can I ask what prompted the conversion?
