I have an early start today so may I kick off?

Old Ford truck photographed in Namibia and scanned this week. Hasselblad SWC and Ilford FP4 developed in ID-11.

Have a great weekend.

Lawrie.

Nice to start hot when it's stupid cold outside.

And a reminder of what's due in a month or two ...

Rolleiflex 2.8F, Fuji 160s.

Seems to be an old truck theme this week (great minds do think alike). I went for a walk in the woods with a friend and his kids this past weekend--this is one of his son having a hot (non-alcoholic I hasten to add) cider afterwards. The other is a set of wheel tracks that might have been made by an old truck. Perhaps.

Both shot with the Ikoflex on new Portra.

Some Holga Lith prints. Finally flat enough to put in the scanner (mumble, mumble, ****** fibre paper, mumble mumble...)

a grand start to the weekend.

A pinhole from me...it's from a series I've been working on for a few years.

I've been arranging things (cicada exoskeletons and twigs in this case) inside my solargraph cameras and then exposing them for a few days.

moominsean · « **Reply #8 on:** February 03, 2012, 03:58:38 PM »

nice liths...

took my zeiss 80mm out for a spin with the bronica s2a, just some local stuff.

Kiev 60

Nigel · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2012, 05:05:39 PM »

Terry - I love the tracks as well.

Becky - that solargraph really is inspired, what a great idea for a series!

Matt Davis · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2012, 05:26:07 PM »

Great start to the Weekend.
like the liths Magnus

Taken back at the end of the Summer, just scanned.
From the last roll in the Kiev 88.

Twitching - you have to look for him, but he's there!

Holga 120gfn, Fuji Superia 400

johann · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:26:31 PM »

Lawrie : Cool truck. Nice perspective.
Sandeha : Nice close-up. They really pop out.
Andrea : I like the composition and the grain. Good one.
Spray : Very contrasty, I like it. What kind of event was that ?
Terry : Good set. It's "old truck" week on filmwasters apparently

I too like the tracks in the field.
Magnus : Great liths. Really like the first one, kind of fading to black.
Astrobeck : I like the surrealism of the frozen insects and the long trail of the sun. A lot of thought in it. You actually but the insects in the camera ?
Sean : Great squares. Very stable compositions, which I appreciate. I little preference for the b&w.
Sam : Nice portrait. Thoughtful child.
Matt : Really nice perspective. I like how the left banister becomes whiter with the distance.
Nigel : The focus is optimal. Good colors. I also like how the distortion give movement to the horizon.

Here's my contribution. Wandering in the neighbor woods.
Hassy, 80 mil and new portra 400. I start to like that film, although I still miss NC.

A stunning start to the weekend. Man, these weekend threads get better and better.

just finished this morning..my latest pinhole convert..this from a Digma Dacora(?) using our old international truck for my test shot..120 film

calbisu · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:11:58 PM »

After few months of not uploading here couple of shots from Sudan to prove that, phtographically speaking, I am still alive

. My scanner is dead so I shot the negatives... One with the Rolleiflex and one with the pentax 67, when I am shooting with these two cameras I shoot in such a different way...

Dave Elden · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:33:50 PM »

First post to the w/e thread of 2012 for me...
Ilford FP4 in Bronica RF645, 65mm lens. Orange filter. Had a film winding problem last roll I shot with this cam last summer, OK this time though apart from a few unevenly spaced frames. Maybe it prefers to be cold, although was only about -10C when I shot this.
River frozen enough to walk across to the other side now - if you are brave, there was a very sad drowning about where I took the pic from last winter.
This is a neg scan using a Epson 3200 flatbed and I noticed two bands on the left (about 1/6 and 1/3 across), any ideas what causes that? Using Epson s/w then Photshop.
PS. I enjoyed seeing Charle's Holga IR shots, I guess this was what we did to mess with the tones before HDR came along

jojonas~ · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:26:38 PM »

got to scan two strips of film before I realised that the scanner might wake up the neighbours... so much for that session!

three shots from up north, shot with my fresh diana mini with expired sensia400~

halfframes slides are cute

Steven. · « **Reply #20 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:50:17 PM »

johann- thanks~ it was at a mochitsuki demonstration. its a traditional japanese thing feel free to wiki it haha.

Nick Moys · « **Reply #21 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:52:44 PM »

Good stuff all round as usual. Especially like all the truck shots, plus Calibsu's portraits.

Had a day off work this week so took a jaunt up to the coast at Wells-Next-The-Sea with pinhole camera under my arm. Bitterly cold but sunny.

All with Noon 612, fomapan100, rodinal.

Happy weekend.

Nick

Jojonas- that last sunset shot looks like a good place to set out a solargraph camera. It's my favorite of yours.

Glorious, especially the pin hole stuff and Magnus's are sublime - love to see those in the flesh.

Yeah! Another Diana Mini user

I tend to like using mine in square format a lot more than half frame. Half frame takes so long to finish a roll!
I'm up to frame 31 on my Olumpus Pen and can't see the end of it... lucky I didn't put a 36 exp. film in

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #25 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:58:44 PM »

Francois..I can relate to the Olympus Pen thing..I always try to find a roll of film with only 12 exposures cause I start getting bored with trying to find a way to use up the film..

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #26 on:** February 04, 2012, 05:54:13 PM »

Another great week

Stand out images for me this week...
Terry's tyretracks
Magnus' magnificent set of liths
Becky's amaaazing solargraph (probably my fave)

Staithes again but from the harbour wall looking out to sea

Paul that first pinhole is just gorgeous!

Keith · « **Reply #28 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:04:54 PM »

Great stuff Paul - fantastic tones even with jpeg compression.
Both pics have the hallmarks of a Zero2000. Is that right?

After all that about trucks, I keep going back to look at the cool and dramatic land- and sea-scapes in b&w.

Chalky · « **Reply #30 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:25:52 AM »

as always, the standard of talent here is just off the scale.

But that pinhole of staithes is incredible. is that where the left had reefbreak is? for those non surfers, I apologise...!

Another wonderful weekend thread, Magnus' Liths, Charles' IR and Paul's pinholes my favourites.

Paul, I admire your technique with the pinhole camera. The view of the idyllic village on the ocean is, as they say, a keeper. :-)

All wonderful photos- and every weekend I think, how can this possibly get any better, but it always does and I'm always in awe.

How did you add the "crinkle" texture? - hope it wasn't trying to flatten the (mumble) fibre paper...

The texture comes from placing a wrinkled semitransparent paper (baking paper? not sure of the English term) on top of the paper in the enlarger. Adds a nice random element to what's already an uncontrollable (at least for me) process

Another part is that the Lith-process exaggerates any texture it finds when printing for high contrast.

Just have to make sure the (mumble) baking paper doesn't blur the whole image...

I suspect I may have missed the boat with this shot, but I'll post it here anyway. Another stained Polaroid of my daughter..."Quelle surprise!" I hear you all scream in unison. This one taken on Tooting Common on Sunday after the whole family had been out in the snow messing around:

Did you show the kids how to make perfect snow balls

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #46 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:57:54 PM »

The snow was great, thanks....and not only because it had the good manners to stay for a mere 36 hours (Saturday night through to Monday morning). No long, arctic winters for the South of England

Nice stuff everybody.

A bit late, but I finally got some film in a a camera and went out shooting. Hanging out with my friend Naomi in a little town in Iowa. I gave her my Golden Half, I grabbed my Holga 135 and we had a blast.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #49 on:** February 07, 2012, 07:58:33 AM »

boy, I love these weekend threads! it's like an exhibition every week! so much great and inspiring stuff from everyone~

spraynpray: I really like the light and mood in your shots here. very solemn~
terry: haha, didn't see the kid first! I think that shot would be great big

magnus: you inspire me! I just got a box of kodak lith developer and I'm eager to try it out with some holga shots~
astrobeck: I can tell that project will be something special! oh, and thanks for the idea to put a solargraph camera where I took that sunset shot. I haven't tried that stuff so it would be an adventure~
matt: nice framing~
nigel: I really like this~ I could see having it on the wall of my cubicle

johann: nice mood in this. a bit us and the world.
charles: lovely Ir shots~
phil: that indoor shot with the shelves has some killer perspective~
diane: let's here it for another pinhole in the world!

I like the tone in your shot~
calbisu: welcome to the living

two great shots. the second is perfect, I think.
dave: try cleaning the top part of the scanner glass. it uses that area to calibrate. when I haven't had that clean I've gotten some tripes too. looks horrible on colour! great sky btw~
francois & diane: I can see a problem with having a too long roll haha!

I guess that's one thing I liked about it when up north, where I shot a lot so the extra film was good for me then. and now that I got back I could switch to square to finish of a roll quick

paul: love the pinhole of staithes! what a view~
windy: liking the second holga shot! blur- and grainorama~ but not without detail! how do you do it!
suzi: talking about some nice blur<3<3<3
hookstrpped: that first one is ace~ light, composure, model seems to connect her eyes with something behind the camera. kodus on a good shot! I'm curious what camera you used btw
16mman: sounds like a great day out! the light looks good too~
