Howdy all,
Here are a couple of photos taken a few days ago at Oaks Park here in Portland. These were taken with a 1930s Agfa Ansco Shur-Shot and expired Kodak PRN 100 film. Have a great weekend!

some slide scans from Paris Roubaix, Pentax ME and Sensia 400. The twins age 88 and visit this race together since the beginning of their memory.....

pdewolff, brilliant...something very life affirming seeing all that energy and enthusiasm...and great twins :)
still playing with the lf....don't know why these came out green (maybe i waited too long to peel) but i like green so that's fine :)

Vicky, is that a coffin? :o ;D

calbisu, that top one is a beautiful portrait.
(and you're not the first to see a coffin :)
love that diane...almost pinholey.
-
Thanks vicky!
-
all great so far. Calbisu - really nice pics.
here are a few from today's practice with the 4x5 down at Seasalter beach. Sadly, I got my timing wrong and the tide was out ... some strange wispyness in the sky - maybe volcanic ash?
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
Leon, might be the ash... but it looks terrific! :o
-
This has the smell of another killer thread!
Pdewolff - the first one I love, great colour.
Vicky - the expression 'like a duck to water' springs to mind!
Calbisu - I'm with Vicky, number one is great.
Diane - Great shot, the location is right up my street.
Leon - great as always. The one with the beach huts is my choice.
-
Great images folks. Wow May already too :)
-
Leon..the last one..of the wee small buildings is so wonderful..it should be a postcard :)

Very nice thread so far, everyone. Here's one more, taken during a long afternoon of photographing with a friend at Sauvie Island (about 10 miles outside of Portland). The birds are couple of Osprey, guarding their nest of little ones. This was shot with a 1939 4x5 Speed Graphic and a circa 1867 f/8 12-inch Darlot lens. The film was Agfa Ultra 50, loaded into a Calumet 120/220 film holder. The lens was used at f/8, and the shutter speed was 1/350. Not too bad for hand-held and framing with the sports finder. (The image was focused on the ground glass before inserting the film holder...)
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
emdrray, not bad! I just started a thread about speed graphic camera asking people their feedback of the camera, and from what you told us it works nice handheld ;)
-
May already? What's happening to time this year? ;)
-
This is a Holga with
Fuji Kodak, um, colour film. I tried to take pictures of colour subjects as it was colour film (I have mostly put b+w through the Holga). I do feel sometimes that taking pictures of graffiti is a bit like stealing!

Howdy all,
Saw this in town a couple of weeks ago and have just had a go at scanning it Francois' way...
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
Can't show the results as the film's not been processed - they would be particularly boring anyway - but I felt compelled to go out today and record what is probably a unique event in modern times, at least in the south of England.
Today we had a clear blue sky from horizon to horizon and there wasn't one aircraft vapour trail to spoil it :)
There had to some good come from that volcano.

I also got a Rollei... this shot is wonderful !

I think this portrait is amazing... to me looks perfect and I'd say is a successful shot.
Here are a some taken with my Beirette Pinhole camera few days ago...
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
thank you Sapata! I really like that Rollei..when I first got it off ebay it was a mess ..had it repaired and now it is one of my favorite cameras! It always amazes me how 50 -60 year old cameras can be so wonderful! But then I only have one "new" camera..wouldn't know what to expect with a new camera of the Rollei quality!
-
Really liking those pinholes again - dammit that 1st one of Trafalger Sq has a real deep classic feel to it. Love pinhole London
Miller's 1st Polaroid also rockin' for me
The standard of uploads here in general recently has been superb all round. So much so I'm scared of adding my Polaroids which have been poorly "scanned" with a digital camera (accidentally left my scanner in Glasgow) and the colours therefore look crap
-
As usual much wonderfl stuff.
A pinhole from me; homemade 100mmx24 pano matchbox camera. Fp4
1st offering from this camera.

Thanks tinm@n... I only wish I had braketed this shot, it's a bit overexposured and when correcting on PS the vignettes appears much stronger to my taste.

This shot is brilliant ! very wide indeed...
-
Tinm@n post those pola's...
I too was especially pleased with the shot. A lot of the PX100 stuff I've seen is 'flat' and I wanted to see if I could get some latitude and contrast. I doubt I will improve on this shot in this respect so I will probably just get my coat now.

I wanna see the camera! That rocks! :)
-
Andrea! this is terrific!
-
I'll post a snap of it in the morning. Its still out in the darkroom and its raining cats and ash here.
Thanks for the comments though. Most of the other shots were over-exposed.
-
Great thread again, lovely work. I have a feeling I wont be popular :-\
Pic removed - I don't want to lose one of my few friends ;)
-
Andrea, that shot is stunning.
Miller, thank you. There aren't many shots in the series so far, but, here are the others to date. http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrorkitten/sets/72157622915118453/

Thank you! I probably won't be the last image like this as I pass by these pigeons everyday on my way to work.

Two taken last week.
I'm still trying to get to grips with Rodinal.
These were taken using Tmax 100 at 100.
I used Rodinal nominally at 1:100 stand development for 60 mins.

Thank you! You are more of an "abstract" bunch here. I see, I see. ;)

The pigeon shot had me dig for an old Blue Note jazz album by Donald Byrd titled Free Form.
Google it for more inspiration on the theme.

lovely work from everyone,
I particularly like the pinhole stuff from Sapata and Andrea.
Im in the process of making a pinhole so these were great to see.

Damion - your buddy, Pete, the one you have portrait of... did you know he was famous?

Cracking photos everyone. Unfortunately I have nothing to add.

ha! Ill show him that.

Another of Grace, with Astia on the hassy.
Feeling a bit flat about it all at the moment but I'm sure it'll pick up again soon...blegh.
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
Vicky, you should never feel flat about your photos of Grace, although, I do understand the feeling very much.
-
Vicky,
Fluctuations in spirit are a rite of passage for the sensitive and creative amongst us.
Just growing pains is what I put it down to. But it doesn't show in your pics we see.
Your work is exemplary and you are bound to hit the wall at times when you are pushing the boundaries, as you do.

-
Vicky... I wish I was good as you when doing portraits... this is trully beautiful ! ;)
-
you're a lovely lot, thank you.
i was thinking last night what i probably need is more of a long term project, or some sort of plan otherwise i'm beginning to feel that i'm taking the same pictures over and over...i dunno....and there's probably a thread about this somewhere :)
-
Vicky,
I find a medium or long term plan for me is quite useful. Gives me something to aim at, although I break this up into shorter "milestones" which are easier to achieve and work towards. Also, it's less demoralising when I don't reach the target of the long term plan!
This may be a difficult question, but where would you like to go with your photography?
In 2 years time what do you want to have achieved?
Mike
-
Sapata, really like those, specially #3 (love those blocks) and... #2 ;D may it?s time to start shooting pinhole!
-
urbanhafner, you sweet talker you!
Hehe. Having a greek wife helps, I guess ;)
Urban

POsssitive energy for Mrs. Vicky Slater!!!! ;D
-
Vicky, I spent a few years in a rut... and it's slowly coming back to me this year... so don't worry about it. I'm sure inspiration will come back, you just have to be patient and give it time.
We're all sending you good vibes :)
This was from last week-end at the plant nursery (before allergy season strikes).
The only good shot I have... I tried taking a picture of their black cat but it seems it didn't like me much :-\
[Sorry, image deleted during forum software upgrade. Please re-upload if so inclined.]
-
sorry i didn't get back earlier.
i've been thinking about mikeg's question and felt really stumped, like you do when you're just not interested.
but i took some pictures today and feel inspired again so that's okay :)
i think, if i was in an ideal world i'd be being commissioned to do projects on anything...whether it was social care or farming or pretty much anything.
something that had a purpose to it, maybe where i had to do research, i don't know.
i'm not in a position to do that yet, kids still at home etc, but maybe one day.
for now i need to learn how to get more consistent results, it still all feels so much luck...i bought some expired film from a professional today, he showed me some of his 4x5 transparencies and they were perfect, not necessarily my kinda thing but the skill level was really high, i'd like that :)
and thank you all, you gave me some much needed cheering on.
