Author Topic: It's Friday I'm in love! Weekend 2016-02-05 (Read 7735 times)

I know it's a bit early to start a weekend thread but I'm just too happy to wait for another day!
First, I get to start the thread... and I think it's my first time

Second, I finally got that roll that had been sitting in my camera processed.
Third, this was a bit of an experiment in aging; ISO 400 Gold Ultramax that I exposed at EI 250. And the colors came out just fine.
Fourth, out of the full roll, there are very few duds.
Fifth, I got to try my 1¢/mm lens and it worked just like a charm.
Sixth, I got to try using off camera flash with a TTL cable and it's fantastic

If that doesn't give you reason to be happy, I don't know what will

First one is the 500mm lens that I paid a cent per mm.
Second if a small portrait... for once I got a model that doesn't complain

Third is totally uncorrected.

I just hope I haven't lost my touch...

A wonderful start as always. I particularly like calbisu's first one, perhaps because it looks a bit like my offering?

Sunset in deepest Queens by Satish Indofunk, on Flickr

SR-T102, Gold 400 @1600, developed in C41 for 5min at 100F.

Nice start, folks. I'm deviating from my usual single image to post a short group; it's too small to be a photo essay, but I feel like these need to be shown together, so here there are.

King Regula IIb (Ghetaldus Ghenar 45/3.5), HP5+ pushed to 1600 in Caffenol-C-L. I was experimenting with some changes in my developing routine for pushing, which resulted in significant overdevelopment; after torturing the film in development, I had to further abuse it in scanning to get it back to a reasonable range. Combined with a flare-prone triplet, the results are pretty ugly, but they sort of work here, I think.

I really like those O2Pilot, especially the first one.

Dude! Those are creeping me out. I have always found abandoned structures out in the woods too scary to approach. Too many horror movies in my youth, I guess. Good job on the pictures. I'm glad you weren't chopped into little pieces by a crazed lunatic with lots of sharp objects. Can someone post a kitten or something to cleanse my psyche please?

So I'm guessing you don't want to see the interior shots?

If you look closely at the first one you can see one of the pentagrams spray-painted on the side of the building.

Francois, those colours are just very nice. I'm picking up a Kodak Ultra 400 exposed at ISO 200 from the lab tomorrow, hope I've been just as lucky!

Lovely creek you have there Kevin.

02: do I feel a bit of Blair Witch going on in those photos?

Kai: I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. This film is tough as nails

I don't know - I never saw the movie - but based on what I've heard about it, I suspect some might feel that way.

Francois · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2016, 09:41:26 PM »

Never seen it either... looked too scary for me.
But your images do have that haunting feeling for some reason...

macfred · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2016, 10:18:45 PM »

Beautiful photographs - like usual ...

I really love those shots with the Contax G1 by calbisu !
Indofunk's 'Sunset in deepest Queens' is another fav.
O2Pilot's 'Blair Witch Project' is a pleasure to look at.
Paul's results with the old Isolette are astonishing - makes me want to get one …

I'm pretty sure I have posted it before, but I also have quite the collection of "cats in shadow" ...and there's enough that I might just start a Photo Essay!

I dunno. The shadow of the cat that is out of frame looks kind of menacing. But I guess it is in more of a noir style, so you're right. Not creepy.

There's also a third cat that apparently is only visible on some screens or at certain angles. Look for him near the top, just right of center of the frame.

(But no, not that creepy but I was feeling impish

)

I'm loving that shadow cat! My contribution is one of my cafe customers. Taken on Fomapan 200 pushed to 800 again. (It's real fun to push this film!)

I took the new Kodak Tmax Aerecon II (exp '98) for a spin in my Nikon N2020. I wasn't really expecting greatness from this film, but at first blush, I really like it. The grain is good, but the tonal range is excellent! I did a Rodinal 1:100 stand dev, so maybe something different would show less grain, but that's not usually the direction I go. It sort of reminds me of Acros.

Hi Terry, I couldn't believe it when I saw this. Is this in NYC?

I looked for this building when I was there and couldn't find it. I can't remember the architects name now, it must be three years ago. On to the Google ....

Hi Nigel. It's on 17th Street over near 8th Avenue. I was doing the walkabout with a friend from Montreal and we were eating in a place across the street when I saw the light and the reflection and had to go shoot this.

I am a bit late but I have my first picture taken with a large format camera:

Oh that is a shame. I had no problems. But was planning to go back and try again as there are a few things I think I could do to get a better image.
