Show us yer film shots then!

Bronica at 75mm
Incident meter
Fomapan 100 in HC110 at box

I underexposed this a bit, probably not the best film for a shady woodland scene, so had a mess about and spent 30 seconds in lightroom (which is a long time for me) to get it back to something like how I envisioned it .

Steps to a square.

I was there (a few times) recently.

Sorry it's a phone camera shot.

I'm trying to build my strength up for a walking weekend at the end of November. So far I've climbed the Pike eight times in three weeks, that's 1600 metres ascent! I've got five weeks left to build myself up. I'm trying to get two to three ascents a week in on the benchmark walk. Every other ascent I extend it up to The Two Lads so the walk is 6 miles with 300+ metres ascent. Next ascent tomorrow morning.
 
By the way, my photographs are plagued by my photo-bombing dog, as you can see. Might be a theme for a post, 'Photo-Bombed by Fido'.
 
This is my 1st attempt at shooting film Pentax ME Kodak ultramax 400

OMG is that first one a Sunbeam Imp? Flatmate of mine had the Hillman version, and I had a Ginetta G15 with the Imp Sport engine. great little cars if you could cope with little problems, like the weight on the back and the disk brakes on the front!

I'm honestly not sure, Chris. I confess to photographing cars because they make good subjects rather than my having any real automotive interest. :)

I think it is the Imp-based Sunbeam Sport, which had a twin carb giving a bit more performance. It could also be the similarly specced Sunbeam Stiletto, which had a "Fastback". It looks like the suspension has been lowered.

Stuck the reg into the search engine, turned up some images from FB pages; you're right, that suspension has definitely been lowered!

Thanks for showing those. I like them, especially the motion. A very tricky subject to try as your first go with shooting film!

Adrian further up the steps in 1973, taken with a Zenit B, Helios standard lens, Tri-X. Found this while searching for a reflection picture in my archive.

Yes, if you go through the arch you cross Lever Bridge and the steps continue up to the building and then a few steps up is the Italian Lake. At the time I took the picture the whole of the gardens were very overgrown, completely different from the present.
 
I discovered that my new-to-me Diana Mini is a horrible little thing with a self priming shutter that snaps like a rat trap. It can't possibly take pictures?

These are a couple of the least messed up images from the Diana Mini, I guess showing the trademark softness of LOMO/Holga images.
On pre-scratched Fomapan 200.

That's incredible, no grain whatsoever!

What are the white artifacts, around the black writing, in the first picture called. I have seen the black ones but never white like that.

Good question, and I only wish I had an answer! While there's a hint of this on the original scan, I think these have been increased by sharpening the scan, and possibly made worse by the contrast of black on white. It was a trial of a lens I had picked up cheaply to use with the Canon, so these photos are a test at 28mm. The lens is certainly prone to flare as can be seen on the second one, but also other shots where the sun is anywhere forward of the line of the camera.

Is it AI noise reduction?
 
No, I didn't use noise reduction of any kind.

What was the development time if you don't mind me asking?

I will have to make myself some of that Ascorbic developer.

Xtol is a rather fine grained developer, I do like the results though in the 5L Kodak packs it is a bit difficult for occasional users myself included.

Those are not fine grain Keith they are zero grain, like yours.
