Good stuff one and all.

really enjoyed this one.

Carlos: I hope you have got those statistics out of your system now!! Thanks for the research....and I hope you have scratched your 'photo itch' for the day and that you and your wife can talk about something more interesting instead over dinner tonight.

p.s.
My instant film is rated at ASA 125...not sure if you included that in your stats breakdown

But your camera does not have an ASA 125 setting...

Are you a 75 or 150 man...

On a serious, this is the best collabo' I've been involved in...

Late Developer · « **Reply #11 on:** September 20, 2011, 08:03:17 PM »

I was scrapping around for something that was "appropriate" and this gave me a good opportunity to re-visit a neg I'd had trouble scanning how I'd wanted.

Superb shots all round. Particularly love Francois' and Vicky's but there isn't a weak link amongst them. Can't wait for the next one.

Mike (happyforest) · « **Reply #12 on:** September 20, 2011, 08:51:37 PM »

I really enjoyed this one also.

I like to participate in these as they get me out taking photo's and force me to do something different to my usual camera fodder.

For me this was my first attempt at making a colour image from three separate exposures and I was lucky as I made some errors. I thought I had seriously over exposed the negatives as I had adjusted the ISO rating to 32 prior to going out and forgot to reset it to 400 (assessing another possible option). I also think I under estimated the compensation required for the tri-colour filters, which may explain why I got something workable. I also thought the film had jammed in my camera so had to abandon shooting earlier than planned.

I also decided to try a extended stand development with Rodinal 1:200 for two hours.

Luckily the negatives came out OK.

I am sufficiently happy with the results that I will look for opportunities to try the technique again. Minus the mistakes this time though.

Unfortunately I could get my head round a narrative to explain why I had chosen this subject. I was thinking of the church of shopping or something like that.

I like Damion's back story to his photo. It does seem to be the small\independent\sole traders that are\were badly hit by this, the big boys seem to just shrug it off. It is nice to hear that the were able to restart trading so quickly and the support that the skater community gave them.

Karl · « **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2011, 10:38:09 PM »

great set of images and I like the stories that accompany them.

"Photo Itch", I like that. I will scratch myself so it does not go away!

Yes, I might have exposed myself with my "research", anyway Missus does not know about it and it's better is kept this way.. we do not want to frighten her. About ASA 125 definitely is treated as

100

Holy Wonder - what a great set!!!!

Andrea Ingram - the blear of your capture is SOOO fabulous!
Diane Peterson - awesome fun!!
Ed Wenn - gorgeous, gorgeous color!
Erin McGuire - those windswept trees make me so happy!
Piet de Wolff - wow, I just love it.
Vicky Slater - that is absolutely stunning! The loving hands and the windblown furball - tooo precious!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #17 on:** September 21, 2011, 07:42:58 AM »

wow! nice to see so many sharing for this one~ an interesting read and look for every entry I think. some are noted as of particularly few words, letting the photo stand more on its own, while others (damion's a great example) giving fine writing and some depth to the shot.
I made a fev noods in viewing these and had a chuckle at the filmwasters crew shot, I hope to get to meet some of you one day! I'm really glad to be part of this in some way

astrobeck: glad to hear you liking it

Skorj · « **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2011, 12:36:45 PM »

Nice work all. Proud to see such a wide range of work from such a wide range of people and locations. Skj.

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #19 on:** September 21, 2011, 02:03:57 PM »

Such a range of interpretation, style, and technique! An amazing range. Did someone already say they were looking forward to the next?

Mojave · « **Reply #20 on:** September 21, 2011, 05:23:38 PM »

I havent finished going through the images yet because Im enjoying reading the stories so much. The stories are so wonderful with all the fantastic images. Im really enjoying this collaboration a lot!!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my image!!!

And Carlos, I just love all that info you gathered! What a cool thing to see the most popular choices across the board. I love that stuff!

vicky slater · « **Reply #21 on:** September 21, 2011, 11:58:59 PM »

Love this collaboration big time!

All so good but it's Erin's picture of the missing house and Damion's skate shop that are especially gorgeous to me.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #22 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:34:16 AM »

ed, no change on the frontpage? (http://www.filmwasters.com/)
if you update it, you could add a note about a new non video podcast too

I dunno how many check the .com but I think it's a nice front

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #23 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:57:45 PM »

That's hilarious, Jonas, because I logged on just now to do exactly what you're suggesting. Thanks for the nudge.

astrobeck · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2011, 12:35:34 AM »

and the "change" is perfecto!

I'm stoked!

hehe, it's greatly appreciated what you do though. just laying that out there

Really enjoyed viewing this collab. I especially like Britt's and Nigel's images, but it's a Holga Thing for me.

Looking forward to the next one. How often do these things happen?

samantha · « **Reply #31 on:** September 30, 2011, 07:43:23 PM »

um, not related, but can you guys see my icon image under my name? I don't see it when I'm on the forum, but I have uploaded one and I know the link got loads of hits on Flickr after I uploaded it and first posted on the forum, so maybe it's just a weird feature that you don't see your own image??

Well, I can see my own avatar.
I don't use flickr much. I use Imageshack.us for most of this stuff and it works very fine.

Nope, I don't see it; just a box where it should be.

Every so often, maybe two or three times a year. We're kinda loose like that here.
