Show us yer film shots then!

I'm not sure why this shot has gathered so much grain - it's been processed in the same way as the others from the same roll and they don't exhibit half as much. It's a good job I don't mind grainy pictures, I suppose.

You should have told us that it was snowing, and that you were lucky to eventually fight your way safely back home without losing any toes or fingers to frostbite ! :D

Terry-Thomas style tactics aside, I'd be tempted to crop to just below the vignetting in the top corners and I think it becomes a stronger image... providing you keep up the story about it snowing. ;)

My b.i.l just posted this old pic from way back in the 80's that either me or the wife took.
This is how it came back from the developers, we were neither into photography back then apart from family shots.
I'm curious as to whether the 'ufo glitch' was a normal mark on film pics?
It's a pic that's always raised a smile..

My first guess would be the pic is taken through a window and the UFO is a reflection like the light area to the left?

I presume the child survived the apparently suicidal leap?;)

No windows, ( image was in an album for years under cellophane, obviously it's marked the paper) we were on the beach and my brother was jumping off the promenade wall.
He did survive, although it wouldn't surprise me if has been abducted on occasion ..lol
 
That is definitely a UFO, no doubt about it. :D
 
Just found this in a file at work a picture of my dads 1955 XK140 FHC imported back from the states after he decided this modern at the time BMW convertible wasn't a proper drivers car!

Apologizes for the poor quality of the scan I used the copier at work!

If ever a photo needed some lasers Photoshopping in, it's this one. :D
 
I wonder if I can shoehorn this in as a "Natural Light Portrait" for the comp? :D

(There were probably overhead fluorescents in the stall though - that'd be the reason for disqualification, I reckon...)

One from my first MF film. Ilford Super XP2 400 - Yashica-Mat. Home dev & scan

This is the Shipwrights pub in Sunderland, over 350 years it's stood on the banks of the wear. My wife's great grandmother was born here in 1898 (not in the pub, they lived upstairs lol), lived to over 100 and her life spanned across 3 centuries effectively!

It’s still registered with the DVLA

Preparing floral decorations for Mother's Day in Sheffield Cathedral. It's about a stop underexposed as, even wide open at f/1.8, and shot at 1/30 sec, it was still too dim for the box-speed Tri-X..

John do you think the bike shots might be showing flare, did you have a hood for the lens and was the sun low?

Definitely flare. I don't have a lens hood for the Helios but wanted to use it as being the nearest thing I have to an East German lens (East German design made in a Warsaw Bloc country). As I was testing the camera rather than the lens, it doesn't bother me too much.

The shot was pointing due south over water so a lot of light coming directly towards the camera.
