more 665 on the 180.  My apologies if this is getting tedious. I'm having a grand time w/it... Been split toning these in the darkroom but my scanner doesn't accommodate the print size, so neg scans here.

calbisu - the second shot is a dream ;-)

What a great camera and what a great lens. I bought the lens for Micro Four Thirds use but I never use it there anymore, it's always attached to the Ikon.

Peter, have you used any of the Zeiss or Cosina 50s? I am considering the Nokton.

Some great images so far.

Peter's Ridgeway shots are, for my taste as a landscaper, just beautiful but it's difficult to pick out the best from so many truly outstanding images.

Here's a few from my week in snowy, slushy, wet and freezing cold London plus a sepia toned image from a wet day in the Lake District during out holiday earlier this year. The Derwent Water shot was Hasselblad 500c/m, Distagon 60mm f2.5 with Acros 100. The rest are Nikon F5, Nikkor AF-D 50mm f1.4 shot at f1.4 on Fuji Pro 400H:

I've got the Nokton but have never used it much. I don't have any complaints about it. Leon had one as well I think. I used to have the 40 1.4 when I had a CLE but when I sold the CLE I got rid of it and got the 50.

I had enough of what I judged to be extra time on my hands this afternoon so I set up my Crown Graphic with a 150mm G-Claron and a 6x7 roll film back loaded with tri-x and tested the patience of two newly arrived subjects: a Christmas cactus and a poinsettia.

First prints out of my newly acquired, recession busting Pen D.  Half a roll taken to check out the camera, its exposure meter, and to examine the lens contrast, out of focus effects and the grain, which is what I am really after in a half frame camera.  Liking the initial results.  Most are full frame, although not sure why I printed so much of the negative rebate, but the young woman is a significant enlargement onto 12x9.5 paper.  Big question is - where's the grain I was after?

more 665 on the 180. The annual holiday carousel in Seattle...  I've been scanning these using the Kodak Gold calibration on Silverfast which kind of, sort of, gives the scans a similar look to the split-toned, sepia & selenium, darkroom prints.  not exact of course but it's interesting to give it a go on the scanner w/o massive photoshop calibrating for web posting...

Calbisu - love those bleach washed Polas. What a look that is. I have to try it.
Diane - great catch with all those wagon wheels behind the sheep. I especially love the guy on the left whose head is just peeking out.
Phil - Love both shots. They are both about loneliness to me but in very different ways.
Sean - love the angle on that trailer park.
Mil - lovely shot. The light is wonderful!
Gregor - dont know what you're apologizing for. Your shots are beautiful, especially the carousel.
Peter - Love your landscapes, especially the last one.
LD - Great street scenes!
Urban - wonderful, dreamy color.
Andrea - gorgeous light!
Pryan - Love the house. Looks like a cow.
Blaxton - great florals. Perfect exposures.
Astrobeck - Love these round houses. Love the composition with the walkway and the house dead center and the trees all around. Beautiful!

There is such great work every week it really blows me away. Congratulations all round!

When I was in Portland earlier in the year I was really taken by the industrial area to the East of the city, everything is on such a huge scale. I've just started working through these.

I'm particularly impressed by Wensleydale's Pen shots and Nigel's rust-belt postindustrial grit.  But I have to ask Urban: are those plants edible???

A single frame from my walk in the woods last weekend--had a lot of overlapping frame issues (no idea why yet).

That's the whole Species / Genus thing with dogs innit.  The domestic dog now being "Canis Lupus Familiaris".  Anyway, I wasn't going all kennel club, I meant that the photo invoked Lupine thoughts in me, all be them from the 70's classic "The Beast Must Die" where the Werewolves were indeed actually ... errr ... dogs  ;D

calbisu, liking the tone you've got on your shots there~ sets a quite dreary mood :)

phil b: snowblind! love the colors here~ the bucket is gritty and nice too. though I think I would have liked it more with a more visible grain from the film. just me?

gregor: dunno how these look in the hand but they sure have a nice feelthrough the monitor for me :)
kind of gives off the feeling of waking out of a dream

peter r: classic~ the tones and angles really do it, for me :)

late developer: 3 & 5 stand out for me. I recognize myself in the drifting feeling of aimlessly wandering that these give off

urban!: nice to see what another on the forum does with a tlr and velvia 50. I've tried my two first rolls but unfortunately haven't had the time to scan them. keep em coming if you have some~ (last one is a fave, the colours go really well with the composition I think)

pryan9: what was the close-up taken with? looks great~

nigel: I think you could very well do a portrait of a city. I do like what I see here :)

mojave!: I think I shall have to check TIP push out soon. you've got some fantastic tones going on here~~ what do you think of the film?

terry: that one's cool~ you don't happen to have more from the roll? don't mind the overlap, I'm into that stuff ;) hehe

hm... while I'm here I should take my time and upload some aswell~

edit: more ;D

sean: I like the combo with colour tone and subject in these shots. they look pretty timeless to me~

diane: good one. they're just too cute! and I always like square shots of round things ;)

the second is me trying some polaroid 600 film from a batch I got from work. subject is part of a theme I got going. might group some shots together sometime..
