Carl your wet plate work is STUNNING... and Heather that onion looks good enough to eat ;D
Phil - you know I fav'd that one already :D
-
Great image Phil!
-
Awesome portrait Carl, as usual. The look on his face is fantastic. I love how you get the same look on all your subjects faces while retaining their individuality.
Love those pola/instax images Heather and thanks for the wonderful video on how to make them!
Awesome shot Phil! You are so adept at capturing the very personal aspect of an abandoned home and I find your shots very moving.
-
As always. Awesome shot Carl!
I finally managed to start scanning stuff again. So my pile of unscanned films is finally getting shorter.

I'm watchiing you, Suzi ;) Carl, another great shot and thank you. Erin, thank you for your kind words.

Carl your tintypes are amaaazing!
Some colour pinholes taken a few weeks ago but just got round to scanning during the week
Zero 2000 and lovely, lovely Ektar!

Oi Bebbington, watch it ;D
-
Pretty pinhole flowers Paul. Very pleasing on the eye.
-
I have nothing brand new to hand as 4 rolls of my undeveloped film went astray in the post en route to my lab oop north.. all my donkey derby shots :'(
So nothing special just one oldish but dusted off and scanned and one new.. still mucking about with this cranky old scanner..
-
Suzi, love that second one.
From my side couple from the Canon F1N and Canon A1. Lately I am having problems shooting 35mm film. Not at all happy with the shots too high contrast and lack of deffinition. I was used to shoot with almost maximum apperture, now I am forcing myself to shoot with closer apptertures. And I preffer the Canon A1 over the F1N, Oh my god I finally said it! The A1 it's more intuitive, lighter and preffer the metering scheme. Whatever ;D
And I think I preffer Ilford 400 over Tmax 400!!!! I think it gives me more tonality range. I have mostly used Tmax400 till now. And (the last And) I preffer my battered fd50mm 1.4 over the fn50mm 1.2.. and the canon A1 and 50 1.4 are muuuuch cheaper. Ok, I shut up.
-
aah, the weekend topic. always an inspiration :)
liking the look on those scans suzi! maybe not what you want but they give me a bit of a haunted surveillance camera feel.
I'm going for an outing tomorrow. so I hope I'll have something to show later.. gonna go with a friend and buy film when the store opens, shoot it up, develop and scan in the evening.
-
Calbisu, like the 1st shot for its split level....
-
Suzi, I really dig the first one.
-
Ooooooo Mr. Miller ... Lovely !
Just picked up an Agfa Isolette II and and a Zorki 4k from the British Heart Foundation shop, going to load em up and try em out later.
Miles ...
-
Suzi, that is a real drag about your film. I hope it shows up eventually. And those pix are awesome! I too really dig the first image a lot!
And Miller, I love the two perspectives you got of this strange tower in the middle of nowhere. Was that two different films?
Awesome new additions everybody! I hope to have some to add from my new pola land cams soon. ;D

Wow. You're pictures are all so great. I too lazy to comment each ;D
Here's my frame of the weekend. My father oblivious to the 600SE close to his face.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5023008921_880fb7f246_z.jpg)
I tested the polaneg recovery technic that was presented in a previous vodcast. It's great, works easily with liquid bleach. But it's a pain to scan. It's worth it, the negs are quite sharp and the grain is cool.
-
one from thursday. Hassy, arista.edu 400.
-
Johan and Gregor, both look just fantastic!!
-
not much happening...messing about with the great wall pola this am.
-
From the Wings and Wheels show today- Holga 135BC TLR camera.
-
Excellent Gary - I must get one of those Holgas to try..
-
Thanks cal.
Sean, that polaroid rocks with the great wall bokeh®
Gary, I really like that black and white, very nice tones. Great focus. Must have been quite a show.
-
@ Mojave
It was the same film being Fuji Astia x/pro' for the colour 'pop'...
Cool second shot P/Utopia... Split in half the images are from two different worlds...

-
@Miller - love these - subtle yet saturated!
@Gregor - works for me too
-
haha, fell asleep while waiting for the scans yesterday ;)
scanned as colour and not desaturated. a fun thing I like to do sometimes.. but now this friend tells me that you get a better scan if you do it in colour. anyone here know anything about that?
-
Wow, the thoid of the boid is topper !
Miles ...
-
Gary, cool shot! And I was just wondering about Holga 35mm's.
Looks like a fun camera.
Carl_ that portrait is stunning!!!!! :)
-
mark love the humour in the 2nd image.
gregor I'm intrigued by this image, it is a beautiful image but what are they, perfume bottles?

I must admit that I have since that thread always scanned in colour. I haven't done a comparison of it but like the results that I get.
I agree with Miles reference your bird.
Anyway to add to the collective these were taken yesterday during a trip to my local country park. On cheap C41 film, stand developed in Rodinal.
-

Thanks to everyone for the compliment on this shot. The content? I like to lurk in churches and other religious buildings on occasion and shoot odd details I find. This was taken at a cathedral. The vessels contain holy water and oil.
-
thanks for the comment on the bird, miles, happy :)
I should've thought to make a search here, sorry about that. thanks for the link anyway~
oh and happy, that ain't looking bad at all! I'll try that next time I get a camera with film in it. I've payed too much for blank rolls ;P
-
A little snapette from the new 35Ti
Walking back from the pub, a shot of a milk crate that is starting to become a project/obsession!
You don't see milk crates in people's gardens much any more and this one can appear in many guises and locations around some old chap's garden.
The little flash on the Nikon isn't too bad, and the pic is ok considering the amount I'd had to drink!! ;D
-
jonas, fantastic shots. Both the one with the building and the bird are superb!!
Two more from the Pentax 67. Inspiration is a furtive guest.

Don't know about the scan stuff but these are fantastic!
-
Suzi - how I love that first one! Full 'o cinema!
Miller - holy moly, I see you've been pokin' around the moon this weekend!
Phil - I not only love the shot, but I want to replace some of my smaller radiators with those monsters in my old house!
Johann - fantastic - made me stop and stare
Gregor - OH MY WORD. My mind goes into overload - so beautiful
Sean - major pinecone envy - the 'atmosphere' looks as thick as aspic!
jojonas - sweet fancy birdness, mister! that third one's a DREAM.
-
Oh, I've been missing out! Too much school right now. These are wonderful!!! Diggin that Pentax work Calbisu.
-
haha! maybe I should look into bird photography?
calbisu, I really like the silky dreamy feel in your shots here :)
-
haha! maybe I should look into bird photography?
If not birds some sport, because your panning technique is spot on!
Mark
PS the bird shot is great!

Loving the velvia shots :)
-
yEP, they just look great.
Windy, those trucks on the second shot look powerful!
-
mark: I've actually been interested in trying out panning but I didn't think to go to sports. it'd beat photos of inner city cars in my book anyway. thanks for the idea!
andrea: I like this still life of yours. it's got some romantic feeling in the focus that really fits I think. and the set up to me looks borderline between prepared and a shot of just how it was. it'll make a fine shot to look at and remember for the couple, I bet :)
roman: I'm really into the blown highlights and desaturated colors in this set of cars. looks like the've been through many hot summers~
-
mmmm ... Leffe. 8)
-
This morning I took to the town.
-
got these two rolls of agfa sumthin sumthin iso800 that I wasn't so pleased with, shooting as is.
so I said hello to my old friend (evil) redscale!
somewhat easier with an slr and prime lens than with some point and shoot or toycam ::)
still.. this was shot at (mostly) iso50. would've thunk that there'd be more color. but I guess you need straight on sunlight for that? still new to this.
-
@CarlRadford intense portrait.
@Miller loves the stairs to nowhere.
@calbisu the kid's look is priceless.

The scanning as colour technique is discussed in this thread
http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=2917.0
I must admit that I have since that thread always scanned in colour. I haven't done a comparison of it but like the results that I get.
I've been scanning in RGB as well. But the problem I'm having with that is, different films come up in different tones (and I've used a lot of different films over the years).
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to make them all the same tone (warm tone, but not sepia). BTW, if you've ever seen the tone in the images on Electrolite's blog, that's what I'm looking to match (It's also about the same tone as Andrea's pic above). Some films I've used come out that tone 'naturally' when scanned, but others are cool (and one old one, green!) I want them all a consistent tone because I'm putting them in a Blurb book together, and right now they look bad together because the tones are so all over the place.
If anyone has any tips on how to get them all to match I'd appreciate it! (And if it would help for me to post pix of 2 images that don't match, let me know & I'll do that).
Thanks!

Love those pinhole flowers. And love Leffe beer.
Old negative, new print. Nr. Kashgar, OM-1. Split filter and diffusion.
-
GTomato: if you're looking for consistent results, I'd work with totally grayscale shots and then slap some photoshop(or other) layer to get the effect you're after, even when using different films.
I guess you can save macros of the stuff you do if you want to do it in batch(?)
-

Nice bit of Darkroom Diffusion - I love that when it's well done. It suits this picture well.

Tell us more about this technique perhaps? I get a similar effect from my Type-665 sometimes, something I strive for... Skj.
-
no problem Skorj. It's a simple process of diffusing the image forming light from below the lens of the enlarger for a small amount of the exposure time.
I've used screwed up translucent plastic bags and bubblewrap before, which work ok, but you have to keep them moving to prevent texture from being printed. I've now got a zeiss diffusion filter that I use. The trick is getting the shadows to bleed slightly whilst maintaining contrast as the diffusion tends to muddy up the highlights somewhat.
-
@CamerAsian - wonderful portrait - the childs youth contrasts with the mans age that appears to add another level of context!
-
Cheers Carl and Leon,
The way I do this is first do a test strip with an 00 filter. When you have a suitable time (say 10 secs), do another test strip with #5 filter with roughly the same time (10 secs), then, under safe light, switch back to the 00 filter. Diffuse for the same amount of time (10 secs). For the final print, tweak the times to suit, keeping the diffuser moving below the lens. The closer to the lens, the more diffusion.
For a diffuser, I use a clear piece of plastic, the type you'd find on binders or in cheap picture frames, sprayed with hairspray. Spray a layer, then leave to dry, and spray again until happy. It dries quickly and can be washed off easily. The trick is to get the times right so the blacks bleed nicely, creating halos if you want them. Contrasty images are best.
Here's one (shot in Kathmandu) that shows an extreme reaction to diffusion.
-
Hey, it's like analog HDR! ::)
-
Two great shots Camasian I especially like the old man.

Really like that Kathmandu shot.

This time a portrait of my younger sister, with the same technic as the previous I posted, made around the same time.
