Ha! I start a weekend Thread (hope doing right..)! ;D Well, not too difficult if you live in Asia and your baby wakes up at 05.30h ::) No morrrrre talking.Three bleached polas from my side. Nice weekend to everybody!!
-
those are beautiful!
mine from my vintage Mamiya C330..slide film of some sort...
-
Dreamy polaroids calbisu!
Diane, those sheep are FUNNY! ;))
-
Calbisu, wow! I love them, the last one in particular.
-
Texas - Hasselblad SWC on Kodak 160VC

Diane, those sheep are FUNNY! ;))
they wanted to eat my camera!
-
got some 4x5 developed from my trip, scanned yesterday - crown graphic, fujichrome. first is the california side of the colorado river (blythe), second is the arizona side (ehrenburg)...
-
Nice one Diane, great comp! And yes, sheeps can be dangerous animals!!
Phil, love those colors!
Sean, you really make me want to shoot on 4x5, great hues!
-
First time I ever post a picture - hope it's not too cliche/typical/etc.. :)))
Thailand - Zeiss Ikon ZM, VC 35 1.4, Fujicolor Pro 400H
-
Phil - snow in Texas!!!
Sean - GREAT color!!!
-
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 ;-)
-
I am not getting tedious Gregor, I think they are just great! Love the first one!!
-
Keep'em coming Gregor. Love them!
-
Zeiss Ikon ZM, VC 35 1.4

So good Peter.
Gregor - I really love this new set of yours, that spindly lupine fiend rocks !

Zeiss Ikon ZM, VC 35 1.4
One of my favourite combos.
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.
-
Great stuff everyone. calbisu I read your post at 5:30am my time ;)
Some images from my pile of unscanned films. Probably a few months old. Yashica Mat, Velvia 50.

The last of CJ.
Hasselblad 50mm lens. HP5/Rodinal.
I can't face going to visit again for a while :-(
-
Here's a few random photos from the past few weeks...
-
Some great work again here. Always such a broad spectrum of submissions ..... and all quirky and intriguing.
-
pryan9 - boy, those are fabulous images!
-
pyran9- love those raindrops on the pine needles.....
Peter- those Ridgeway shots are tops! :)
-
Thanks Astro & Ann! Your comments mean alot! Everyone's work is very inspiring this week :)
-
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.
-
a pinhole from this afternoon.
it's a dojo near where I live out in the middle of the woods....
Ilford fp4 @ 8 seconds
DaVinci camera

that spindly lupine fiend rocks !
Lupine or Canine? Ahhh - semantics. ;)
Great work everyone - keep them coming.
-
Hasselblad 501cm and Kodak bwcn
-
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?

-
Not sure what happened to the other three images I tried to upload. Then I realised.... so, lets try again:
-
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.
Trusty Bessa R3A and Tri-X combination.
-
These weekend threads are becoming stronger and stronger. Great work from everyone - amazing!
-
Nigel, those shots are outstanding. That's the kind of quality B&W that I hope to achieve someday.
-
Big Foot in the window, on TIP Push! shot with SX70 Sonar.
-
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 spindly lupine fiend rocks !
Lupine or Canine? Ahhh - semantics. ;)
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
-
Mojave- that is one cool cat! I really like the result you got with this one! :)
-
All the talents.....
Another great weekend. Favourites, in no particular order:
The last two of Calbisu's
Gregor's hound dog
Urban's toe level leaves
Phil's abandoned paint tin
Nigel's excellent urban series
Mojave's mog, and
Terry's gorgeous russet leaves.

Urban: are those plants edible???
I haven't tried. But, believe it or not, I can actually shoot stuff that isn't edible ;)

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 ;)
-
ok, some of mine shot and scanned this week.
first is polaroid 664(?) film shot with loaned polaroid 600se that I just returned yesterday (too heavy!)
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..
-
Love the instants Jojonas.
Isn't it amazing that people need to be told not to stand under the forks of a pallet truck.....??

A box of frogs.

The close up of the raindrops was taken on a Nikkormat FTN and the Nikkor P 105 2.5 lens. The film was expired Delta 100 :)
-
Peter!
I am totally in love with that second one.
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Since moving to the bone dry desert of New Mexico I seldom see fog round these parts. :(
You have captured it beautifully! :)

Thanks Jonas! I think I have at least two more rolls that I haven't scanned. Maybe it was Provia 100, but IMHO there isn't that much of a difference.
Peter! You really should make a book (blurb maybe?) out of these shots one day. I would buy one without looking at the price.

Hi Urban, Thanks. Maybe you'll get the chance eventually. I'm not proposing to do anything with them until next year at least by which time I'll have had the chance to photograph the Ridgeway in all seasons. But I have thought about a book as a possible ultimate goal and you can be sure I'll be shouting about it here if I do produce one. ;)

Thanks Becky. I'm still not sure whether I should have erased the bird that flew into that second shot.

First - thanks everyone for the positive comments ;-)
Jojonas - the split tones are not too terribly far off from what I see on my powerbook. I did look at them on dell laptop and while they looked fine, the colors are not the same as the split tones and what I see on my monitor. Attempting to calibrate for cross platform viewing is just too painful !

I'm a patient person Peter. And I firmly believe that you shouldn't rush such projects.

Peter-Leave the bird alone...it's one of the things about the photo that caught my eye. :)
I'm with Urban on the book. Put me on the list too! :) :)
-
Here are the leftovers from last week...
For the pigeons, they were eyeballing me real good just before taking off. I think they didn't like the big shiny eye that is my lens :)
And for the tracks, a simple 17mm job... cliché I know but still...
-
love these weekend threads and this is another great one full of diversity!
peter's landscapes are brilliant, very well done
Shot this 3 days ago and processed today. We have had show for the last week
in Ireland, and set to continue for the next week too!
These were shot on the M645super with Acros100 pulled 2 stops.
Developed in Caffenol-c.

Aoluain, this is fantastic!!! What a pictoric scene, do not know why but it reminds of classical Dutch Painters. Great scene!! ;D
-
Fresh out of the darkroom this evening.
Xpan shot. Is it too mannered? Too artfully composed? I'm having doubts. Comments gratefully....etc,etc.

-
Peter, wow, fantastic landscapes, specially like the last one from the first batch.
Late Developper, like the one with the bus.
Pryan, the one with the car reminds Eggleston's pictures... very nice one.
-
Aoluain, I like what you've been doing with montage. Very cool indeed.
A couple I shot this afternoon:
-
Thanks all!
On the TIP Push!. I like it but its very unstable, just like their other color film. But at least you get more colors in this film.
And Peter, holy cow! Those landscapes are amazing!!!!
-
late developer: indeed! also, standing on the forks while they are raised.. don't learn from your mistakes, learn from others! I guess you've heard about staphler farher klaus? ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV64lW0CTwI
urban: provia, eh? only tried crossing that one.. I've got a redscaled one sitting in the fridge tho, planning to shoot that one both ways.
francois, cliché or not I like how the rails stand out~
aoluain, fantastic work patching these together. I quite enjoy seeing work like this :)
wensleydale blue, the x-pan shot is great! right up my alley actually~ the crossing lines make it interesting to look at, the eye can wander over the grit on the ground and I think the dark portion on the top left corner does well in balancing the shot. it could have looked a bit sterile but I think that thing just out of the frame, casting it's shadow gives the human touch to the shot.
If I would change anything I'd probably put a prop in the bench and let the shadow from the same not be cut off on the right side of the frame.
mojave: unstable as the bw? I've only tried the first flush sx70 so anything better than that is an improvement to me :)
-
A quick one. Yashica Mat & Ektar:

loverly!
-
nice one, skorj!

Another Ginger... sweet
-
Jojonas, I stay away from anything FF. I have had very little success with that film.
I guess what I really mean by unstable is that it turns blue after time and I have a very difficult time getting the color right in anything but perfect lighting conditions. They say on the website that the colors are best in tungsten lighting. Well, who is going to just shoot in tungsten light, especially with such a slow film. It is pretty though, when it comes out right. Its just most of the shots dont come out right. I think I'll hold off on the color film for a while. I prefer their b&w anyway, though I cannot get my SX70 to eject it. I have to bring a changing bag, dark slide and One Step camera with me out in the field. After each shot, I put both cameras and the dark slide in the bag and closed it up. I then pull the film pack out of the SX70 and put it into the 600 to eject the film. Then I pull the film pack out of the 600, put the dark slide in the pack and put the pack back into the SX70. I never lost a single shot and was pretty happy with the results. Here are my favs.
-
Skorj, that ticks pretty much all my boxes and pushes a few buttons that I thought were lost for ever! I need to start using Ektar again. I just love the colours.
-
Ooops! You posted whilst I was, Erin! I have to admire your resolve in using both cameras and the results are great.
-
Thank you so much Phil!! That means a lot coming from you. I know how you feel about TIP. ;)
-
Terry, I really like your second one. My sort of picture.
-
lovely images Mojave!
thanks for the kind words Calbisu, Terry and jojonas.
;)
-
Peter--I had you in mind when I shot that. I saw the lone tree against the open field and that unusually-shaped pine tree in the background (and the clouds of course) and thought of your landscapes. I had to slog through a muddy field to get close enough. This is a large parcel of disused farmland not far from my house that was taken over by the county and designated a park but left to grow wild. I've been going walking there frequently of late. With cameras of course.
-
Wonderful images Mojave!
-
Great work as usual everyone...
I haven't got anything yet this weekend (and probably won't...) but I keep checking this thread which is always inspiring! ;)
Sean - I love the rich details in your 4x5 shots, specially the second one.
Peter - These are great ! the first 4 posts are fantastic and I absolutely love the grey tones.
Terry - Your shot looks like a B&W print with the leaves hand - coloured !
Skorj - Very beautiful shot... very spontaneous.
Mojave - You've got a great set of polaroids, the tones are fantastic and it's well worth all the hard work !
-
Been too busy to scan anything or even post much in the past week.. only just had a chance to check the weekend thread.. lovely work from all, i especially love Andrea's butcher guy and Diane's sheep & Erin's pola's :)
-
Big Foot in the window, on TIP Push! shot with SX70 Sonar.
Aww, I can't believe how much your cat looks like this stray one that I found in Andalucia years ago!
-
MOjave, first and last one, super cooool, specially the last one which I find really atmospheric.. (whatever it means ;D) Is like it was shot in B/W but then the cactus in it has some color. Great
-
Mojave-love that last one.
It really captures the sense of desolation in the desert. Well worth all the effort to get that out of your cameras too!
-
I'm a bit slow this week. Stranded in the Edinburgh snow last week and a few domestic and family 'incidents' to deal with (a 19 year old son with a broken arm being one of them). Catching up now tho'. Some examples of recent stuff. B&W developed at the weekend, and a first go with colour in the Holga

mojave: quite the process you got going but I have to concur with the rest that those are some stunning shots!
it's interesting to read what you think of the TIP line up. I guess I'll look into buying some next year some time. I've got film to feed it for a while now ;D
-
Thank you all so much! And Suzi, that cat does look like Biggy, especially those stripes on the forelegs.
-
A quick one. Yashica Mat & Ektar:
Good grief that's a lovely image. I've been experimenting with Ektar but haven't cracked it yet.
Great photo.
-
Yeah Mr. Skorj, that's a cracker, Car, lady, the lot.
Windy - I envy your tree shot, very cool squire.
-
Thanks, Miles :)
-
Windy
And I think the war memorial is a really excellent image. Reminds me of Donovan Wylie's work in Ulster. Cool and clinical but with a great eye for an engaging composition.
Graham

Cheers Graham :)
Do not know of Donovan Wylie, will investigate
