Title: Is it w/e 1st September yet?
Post by: Mr Leica Man on September 01, 2011, 08:13:27 PM
Well today is officially the first day of autumn so if I may, I'd like to take this opportunity to post my first picture on this wonderful forum.

Just to remind us of the good old days of summer sunshine I have a snap of Luskentyre beach on the Isle of Harris, Western Isles of Scotland. This beach was voted in some newspaper or other as one of the Top 10 beaches in the world.

This was taken last week using a Kodak Box Brownie 620 Model C on Tri-X 400 120 roll film, developed in T-Max developer 1+4 for 6 minutes.

Also of this past week, some shots at a gallery photo talk (the wonderful Laura El-Tantawy discussing her work in the "Arab Revolutions" exhibition at Third Floor Gallery, Cardiff) and a trip to a scrapyard.

If only I could convince my employer that weekends start on Thursdays!

Love Mr Leica Man's beach and Phil's railroad scene.

A couple of Polaroid chocolates from last weekend's walking trip to the Peak District from me, plus some seed heads on Polaroid 664 nearer to home.

Great weekend to all.

Good start Mr Leica Man - welcome.

Here is another one from last week end from me just tweaked

Woah! Yet another cracker of a start to the week.

- Mr Leica Man (a man after my own heart, no doubt) a wonderful Box Brownie shot
- Chalky, that photo of your dad is a true masterpiece. Wish my dad was around to take such a photo.
- Sandeha, a lovely set. Beautiful lassie but my fave is the cast off wheel rims
- Phil B, a very moody shot
- Grey Fish, the Peak District is very close to my home town of Stockport and I love the colours and textures you created.
- Aoluain, probably the best harbour scene I've seen for a very long time. Love the light and colours.

My entries this week are a couple of shots from the Ridgeway walk converted to B&W using Silver Efex Pro (from Provia 100) taken on the Hasselblad 500c/m and using the 40mm lens.

each weekend we set the bar a little higher...
very strong showing so far.
Can't pick a favorite but I especially like Alan's colourful boats!

One from me done with the Nikon F4...it's been a while since I ran a roll through it, and it's a joy to use...even though it's quite the hefty handful!

Wow, Filmwaster are easy trigger people!!!  ;D Lots of energy.

So fare these hold my attention:
Patrick's Polas
Chalky's dad portrait, I wish I had shot such a beautiful portrait of my Dad
Grey Fish chocoroids, fantastic
Miles havana shot... I can feel the heat

Two polas 108 from my side, back from Kuala Lumpur, a trip to be forgotten!!  :D but now I am back to Manila, which looks better than ever and to my nice apartment..

Nothing really to post this week but thanks to everyone else who did for mucho inspiration! The glass plate prints from pdewolff were lucky to have survived – there are tales of plates having the emulsion scraped off and being re-used for greenhouse panes!
I particularly enjoyed Patrick Ryan’s beach portrait although I did wonder how close the bottom of the Rollei was to the water…

What a great first shot to start a weekend thread. Too much great stuff to mention already, but love that Ektar... A few friends traversed the typhoon ravaged hills of Tochigi to explore an abandoned limestone mine. Just as we were finishing one of the miners wandered past and wondered what we were doing, as he explained to us his history he kindly posed.

(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6077/6111906398_5fc04d3caa_b.jpg)
A pleasant man who told us he was on the way to the thirty-year reunion of his limestone mine retirement.

See ya! Skj.

just a few mamiroids from a fund raiser music day at my local (I say music day and not gig as the music went on all day and travelled from pub to pub on the back of a pickup) all in aid of a local music legend Roy De-wired who sadly died of lung cancer a few years back.

I forget if I have posted these anywere else this week so will just put them here.
