. . . Well its 12.00 midnight here and Im just after finishing some scans,
Sssooooooooo I might as well start it off with this, taken during the week
with red filter and not exposed properly then I kind of messed up the development
with the Caffenol-C

I was running late to pick herself up from work !

That's really cool. ^

Enjoying my new 50mm lens for my Mamiya6

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #2 on:** December 10, 2010, 12:38:38 AM »

aoluain: Whatever

It's still a wonderful image. Great start to the 'weakend' thread.

Here are my two from last weekend. Both taken with the Land Cam 360 and 125i film. The one of Amy is a goop scan, converted to b/w in P'shop.

more 665 (expired 1990) on the 180.... happy Hanukkah by the way ;-)

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #4 on:** December 10, 2010, 09:09:18 AM »

Great start to the weekend thread, beautiful Alan!

Love those portraits Hookstrapped, great colour..

Ed I love ducks!

& my very favourite is Gregor's spooky candles..

Late Developer · « **Reply #5 on:** December 10, 2010, 09:28:59 AM »

I really don't see this as a "weakened" thread - it's just as strong as ever...

Aoluain, that is a fine composite. Beautiful in every way.

Hookstrapped, that 50mm lens seems to be working just fine - and long may it continue to do so...

Ed, Ducks - sweet, especially with Hoi Sin sauce. Love the icy blue hue to the shot.

Gregor, spooky candles indeed. Very moody and beautiful tones.

Here's a couple from me - from my holiday up to Scotland. The first is a view of the Cuillins under cloud taken from the bridge at Sligachan. The second is facing out over Loch Harport with the Talisker Distillery at my back. It's a miracle this one is in focus....

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #6 on:** December 10, 2010, 09:29:47 AM »

As Suzi said a great start to the weekend!

aoluain - the imperfections add to what is a fab piece

hookstrapped - beautiful images of a very elegant model

Ed - two very different but evocative images

gregor - you've just inspired me to get out with my expired 665 sometime soon!

Paul

nice start guys~ hehe.. if these threads continue to start earlier and earlier, then soon enough we'll have weekend all week!

I had a plan to scan some tlr slides yesterday evening when I had a moment for myself.. sadly (but luckily) I remembered that I had forgotten to order some christmas presents

hookstrapped · « **Reply #8 on:** December 10, 2010, 10:44:52 AM »

Late Developer -- really beautiful

A couple B&W

calbisu · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2010, 01:01:18 PM »

Mmmhh, Mr. Hookstrapped, it seems that you are enjoying your camera and new model

Damn, the mamiya 6 must be a nice camera! Love those hues, and also de B&W ones! Great, I have also done pictures to a friend of mine. Her house was not too appealing, so we shot at her balcony, which was reeeally small. 9 with the Pentax 67 and 4 Polas. First and last one bleached polas... The first one I shot underexposed, two steps below as I think this is when bleached polas look the best.

hookstrapped · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2010, 01:06:15 PM »

Ahhh, love that pola -- tones to die for

astrobeck · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2010, 01:22:49 PM »

amazing work so far! I better get busy.

aoluain- I really really like the start of the weekend you have posted.
Ed- love the ducks and Amy looks so pensive for such a young'un.

The models are great and I especially like hookstrapped's Mamiya 6 shots.

Alan · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2010, 03:03:39 PM »

Weakened ! haa!

it was late you know and for us Friday is the start of the WEAKEND it used to be Thursday
when I was younger it was a great excuse to go drinking for 4 days over the weekend

.

thanks all for the comments glad it hits the right buttons!

lovely work by all again, lovely model shots of lovely models !

right can someone start the weekend thread so?

Terry · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2010, 03:11:50 PM »

Aoluain--Whatever about the problems, your snowscape is magical. Puts me in mind of Joyce...

Francois · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2010, 03:34:28 PM »

Hookstrapped and Carlos - beautiful models... (you lucky...)

Also, very nice shots.

Carlos, I just love the color of her brown eyes, very nice.

Hookstrapped, nice red chair shot.

Ed, love those ducks. They must be wondering what the heck happened to the pond

Hookstrapped, I just adore the first two.

Gregor, the candle shot is just great.

Carlos, love the polas.

original_ann · « **Reply #17 on:** December 10, 2010, 05:46:09 PM »

Stunners!!!

Aoluain - good golly, perfection in the imperfections! It's so fantastical!

Hookstrapped, that first one is my fave!

Ed - sweet little waddle walkers and such gorgeous blue, ding'd up ice!

Gregor - I love how they both have qualities of collodion!! Does that just come from the way they were rinsed?

Calbisu - the first one with the curled under toes

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2010, 05:54:30 PM »

aoluain, this is a great image! Now that I'm getting into landscape photography I kick myself for selling the Fuji GW690. Just imagine stitching some of those negatives ... :/

Mostly food shots from me. As always Minolta X-300, 50mm f/1.4, Fuji Pro 400H.

That's very nice. Can you explain ID-UV?

gregor · « **Reply #22 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:05:09 PM »

Ann - yes, from the rinse. I don't wash/fix them with sodium sulfate. When I'm out I stick them in my coat pocket until I get home, rinse the black backing with lukewarm tap water and drip dry.

SuzanneR · « **Reply #23 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:50:10 PM »

I haven't posted here in ages, and I love these weekend threads... agree about the modern Degas bather, what a beautiful picture. Here are a few from last week during Hanukkah.

original_ann · « **Reply #24 on:** December 10, 2010, 11:09:04 PM »

hookstrapped - IDUV is a type of polaroid film that was manufactured for photo IDs. It's got a printed security pattern that randomly has the word Polaroid across the image when exposed to ultraviolet light. (Actually you can kinda see if when you hold the film up to light at certain angles). It's one of the lesser expensive polaroid films because of this

random side note: I've been in the midst of removing 5 layers of paint from my banister and refinishing (though taking a break for the holidays)- so it's still partially wrapped and taped in the picture.

original_ann · « **Reply #25 on:** December 10, 2010, 11:10:09 PM »

SuzanneR - that last menorah pic is fantastic!

I was going through old negatives today and found a sleeve of holga shots from japan last year that i must have put aside for later and then forgot about! So I scanned a couple today. Most were too dark.

astrobeck · « **Reply #28 on:** December 11, 2010, 03:51:50 AM »

oooh Sean, I love.love that shot. better late than never eh?

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #29 on:** December 11, 2010, 10:47:41 AM »

Suzanne - all great images but the last one is something special

Sean - so glad you have eventually posted it, that magenta against the blue is amaaazing!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #30 on:** December 11, 2010, 01:02:44 PM »

Ann, I love the subdued mood and tones of your shot.

DS · « **Reply #31 on:** December 11, 2010, 01:40:21 PM »

Wow. Everything here is great (as usual)!

Some recent stuff from me I've just had the time to upload (my computer has been getting fixed for a month & I've just got it back). Nothing I'm too happy with- haven't been shooting enough since moving to sunny Yorkshire. I remember taking every one of these shots and they're not quite the way I saw them at the time

Blaxton · « **Reply #34 on:** December 11, 2010, 04:54:14 PM »

I suspected that my Ikonta wasn't working properly when pieces started falling off. This accidental multiple exposure shows why I probably won't use the camera again. It's too bad. The convenience of a folding medium format camera is hard to beat. At least I like the last photo(s) made with it.

Anyone know a good Ikonta repair tech in the US?

One of the young singers at the big band rat-pack night in Stornoway last night. Mr Windy was there too so watch out for the Holga shots!

Awesome everyone !!

aoluain - the picture is fantastic, a very good mess

, almost like an infrared shot!
hookstrapped - everything about your shots are perfect! the location, the model, light...
calbisu- your polas are also fantastic, the polaroid tones are unique.
diane - I love your panorama pic... what camera did you use ?

Francois · « **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2010, 09:24:07 PM »

Urban - the food shots make me hungry... especially the tiny cupcakes... (miam!)
Ann - love tree shot (I also like the house with the girl in the stairs). My tree pictures always end-up like cheap calendar shots for some reason

Andrea - nice portrait. She's very photogenic.

original_ann · « **Reply #40 on:** December 12, 2010, 02:28:07 AM »

Oh Andrea - that's a fabulous portrait! It's like you went back in time.

Francois - Very kind of you, hahha

By the way, that tree has been drinking more than a gallon of water / day! I think he's quite happy to be in my home for the holidays

calbisu · « **Reply #42 on:** December 12, 2010, 01:09:27 PM »

Ann, that ID-UV pola, has such a ghostly mood, great!
Suzanne, that last one... a beauty
Andrea, Yes, agree, wonderful portrait.
WArden, great comp there.

Two more from my side... yes. All that I could not shoot during my first month and a half in the Philippines I am shooting now!! We went to little tokio in Manila. Not really like a chinatown, just few restaurants togehter, but sill it was nice to be there. I asked some japanese gentleman to pose for me and he was patient enough to do so..

Did I say that I love my pentax 67 but it´s kinda of heavy? I am sure I already said it

Trying not to look much at the mamiya 6, but Mr. Hookstrapped is not helping much at it...

Love both of those pics.

I used to have a Pentax 6x7, with a 55mm lens, and I loved that camera.... except for its weight. I think the 55mm lens alone was heavier than my Mamiya 6 with its 50mm. And the Mamiya is so quiet and vibration-free.

Or take some Tri-X and expose it at EI1600 and process in either T-Max or HC-110... That'll get you chunky grain for sure!

Oooops, excuse my colloquialism. I meant that I was pleased

at how small the grain was
Sorry for the confusion guys.
