Show us yer film shots then!

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?

Good question Chris. In the case of the trees and path shot, what initially interested me was the shapes of criss-crossing trees. But in the colour version, I felt that the green was too dominant and the tree shapes were less obvious.

For the harbour shot, the rusty colours were the initial point of interest, but they seemed a bit, err, yukky.

Shed loads of magenta in that Kevin, hence the yukky
you should be able to do a colour balance with it though
 
ah hell, so I came down to big pc to see if I could do a w/b on that one, but on this pc that picture has gone, its now a square of 4, but the one I want is still on screen on my laptop, no doubt it'll b****r off when I refresh the page..

Looks like darn good choices in both cases. Weird that the rust shot should have turned so magenta (as has the path through the trees). But the b&w works well in both.
 
Well have found a good use for my 20p Jessops diamond everyday films exp 2006..Asda dev 3 films and put them on one CD and also had an index for each roll. Well here are my further attempts doing 9 image panos

Hexanon 50mm....


And no way could I move back enough and get all this in without doing a 2 image pano..ok maybe a 20mm lens but everything would be small..but h'mm back to the drawing board as the house supposed to be in a straight line and not curved.:eek:

First one from last weekend in the Lakes. Great Gable and Styehead Tarn from Scafell Pike, Rolleiflex Automat on Kodak Ektar.

Now, does this tempt anyone to join us for our Lake District weekend? We don't have to climb up this high to get great shots you know. :D

I don't need convincing but if I did that would have done it, well done Andy :thumbs:
 
Well half way there on my nine image panos. IMO a pano should be what the eye see (or even higher magnification)....but I'm overlapping the frames too much and I might as well use a wide angle lens and get the same\similar result, anyway:-

Denham village church pops up now and again in Midsommer murders also in old films probably cos old Denham film studios and now Pinewood are not far away....the building to the left was Jon Mill's house...not sure if it's still in the family.

I like that. I don't know why, but that seems to pop more than I'd expect a WA shot to. Almost worth trying both for the same scene.
 
Thanks Steven....there is definitely a place for panos for film shooters esp when you can't move back to get the whole subject in and have the wrong lens.....and I agree with you in that I'll have to compare a pano with a wide angle lens when I become quite good at it.
Interesting at Asda as she put 108 frames (3 rolls) onto one CD and the charge was £1 although I'm not sure if a new charge as there was 60p added for the 1 hour service..well it was 35mins to do my lot. (y)

Wow, you've really turned up the contrast. I particularly like that last one.

Yes, grade 5, or as close to it as an LPL 7700 goes, I find it really difficult to choose the grade from looking at the neg, I knew they were contrasty, but I was test stripped for G5 and I couldn't be arsed starting again for a different grade...lol

test strips are a pain in the arse, I don't know how anyone can spend less than......hours......making one print
 
Another BW conversion from Portra:


More trees from Bollihope Burn by Kevin Allan, on Flickr

This was done in Lightroom with a fake-IR preset which lightens the yellow and green tones and adds negative clarity. It makes me want to shoot some real IR film which I will load into the Yashicamat as soon as the currently loaded roll of FP4 is finished.

A couple more from some messing around. Shot with Nikon F90 and Sigma 35mm on Portra 400. Asda dev as i'm still umming and arr-ing over some home development stuff (at least until i hopefully move soon) and then home scanned :) I think i still need to fathom another way of getting the negatives flatter in the holder but these weren't too bad. I did get a weird green line down some of the scans but a clean of all the glass and sensors seems to have cleared it up
