Show us yer film shots then!

I was attracted to this subject mainly because of the door and a secondary point of interest was the state of the brickwork on the wall. The door struck me as it depicted a figure in the woodwork repairs, a big square head that used to be a window panel and the arms and body below depicted by other joinery repairs. Clutching at straws I know, but that is what I saw and that is what I am sharing with you today. I could have perhaps crouched down a bit and made the doorman a bit more menacing.

Tripod would not go any lower, I would have preferred a stronger perspective.

IS that lovely grain typical of Tri-X ?

I have not tried it yet, and if so will have to go on my list of films I must try out.

Yes, Tri-X does tend to display notable grain, although it will depend on the development process etc. as to how pronounced it will be. People better skilled at developing film will undoubtedly be able to control it more effectively than me. :D

I like the look of Tri-X grain though, even when it's more pronounced. It's much more subtle on medium format images (although some I developed with Rodinal, still showed it off - see below).

Good pics from a nice little camera I've never heard of.

Edit: read a little online and from the pic I had no idea it was so modern! V interesting background on the maker. Apparently only about 4000 made over a couple of years.

More cameras that we have probably never heard of, hands up who has heard of Peafowl o_O

Gosh, that's gone to rack and ruin somewhat! It doesn't really go to or from anywhere useful now, I guess. There used to be a railway station down below on the right, it's just a car park underneath a raised road carriageway now. I recently spent the best part of a day comparing mid-20th century aerial photos of Halifax with current google overheads, and tracing the courses of the lost railways - the difference is astonishing.

Me neither, thought is was going to be another 40s /50s Leica copy but no, much more modern!
 
Boots 350AF P&S, Fomapan 200 (@100) in Bellini Duo Step.

A couple from my regular walk route, my favourite place for camera test shots.
It's a 29mm lens, so wider than I am used to.

Edit: the film i used in the camera was ISO 200 but the camera will have defaulted to 100.

This is the least awful from the roll done in the Holga. Bergger Pancro. Shot at F8 1/125 and it was pretty sunny. A lot worse than either the Reto Pano or the Kodak thing with fixed exposure and focus. Did get about 15 shots on the roll so didn't miss too many as I had no idea what frame number to follow for the 6x4 at all.

That one looks a little foggy and low-contrast. Is the lens clear?

I think the Holga is at it's best when shot in 1:1 mode though. When you shoot it in 6x45 mode you lose most of the vignetting and just get the softness at top and bottom.

It was a brand new one so I'd assume so. The bergger was expired but it was definitely a lot worse than I expected.

HA Ha,

The other two snaps of that scene have big foreground sheep fence. :)

I wanted a tractor in the field "haywain esq" but we were just driving through, the start of a memorable day for many of the wrong reasons.

Agfa ISO-RAPID C camera. Fomapan 100 in Bellini Duo Step.

A door into the undergrowth. (People will fly-tip anywhere).

One of a set of cannons on "Gun Hill" in Southwold.
A plaque next to the common tells us that the Luftwaffe once dropped b*mbs on Southwold, it is believed that they mistook the cannons for a modern gun emplacement. The town removed the cannon (buried them) and they didn't get attacked again.

The Agfa ISO-Rapid gives square images 24x24. It's quite a different thing to frame up than regular 35mm format (but, all you MF shooters will know that).
Having a problem loading the film into the cassette at the moment. It binds up and can't push any more in.....something to work on.
