Title: It's the weekend again! (10/11th of March)
Post by: Urban Hafner on March 08, 2012, 06:26:28 PM
Finally managed to develop a roll of black and white! Arax 88, 30mm Arsat fisheye, Fomapan 400 (thanks LD), Rodinal 1:100, not totally even development ;)

Again in the little village Sainte-Marie-du-Mont in the French Alps.

Oooohh, that looks cold. What a contrast. We have had two sand storms in a row down here. It looks funny as then the sky seems to be cloudy, of course there is no more than billions of ultrafine dust  particles fighting to get inside the camera  >:(

Two more portraits, this time group portraits. The one in the tuk-tuk I remember pretty well. I spent many hours walking and travelling around khartoum, dusty, hot, dusty and hooot, but very few shots.

Love 'em all so far but Calbisu's first is a beauty. Love the expressions on the faces of those chaps....

Mine are from last weekend spent in Dent and Hardraw (the waterfall shots) in the Yorkshire Dales:

We had the pleasure of Graham's (Wensleydale Blue) company the day after these were taken. Some of what we shot with Graham next week. The last one in this series was a bit of a mistake - end of a roll that got chewed (somehow) but I still like it for all its imperfections.

All taken on Ilford XP2 Super using Hasselblad 500c/m.

I was sorting my negs from last year and came across this portrait.
I don't do a lot of these, but this one just had such great tones I think it was worth scanning.

Nikon F5 with Acros 100 (shot at 200), developed in Diafine.

Like that shot Keith--great attitude.  I've rediscovered how much I like Acros too. Shot this on my Ikoflex yesterday--I set it on a tabletop and exposed at 1/30 and f/5.6.  Souped it today in RO9 at 1:50.

Hi all,

I got a Hasselblad a few weeks ago and so now I'm just experimenting with it.  This is a scene near my house in Philly.
  I like the camera a lot.

Hello again everyone. There are some great shots here already (as expected from such a talented bunch of wasters  ;) ). I'm digging way back into the archives for my addition to the thread as I've recently been asked to scan some of my old band photos from back in the day. This one is of Ian at the wheel of the van in 1989, driving from DC to Chapel Hill, NC for Fugazi's first ever out of town gig. Very happy memories of these couple of days.

It was shot on an incredibly cheapo plastic camera; all I can remember is that it was bright red....and really, really rubbish (but not in a good way...in a bad way!). This was scanned from the original drug store print and then brought back to life contrast-wise via P'shop.

Holy wow - there're so many compelling shots!

I particularly like SprayNPray's top pic - the way an already beautiful shape gets abstracted by the depth of focus and the eye gets drawn. Wonderful.

Yes! Diane, that living room shot is great. It's good to see a pinhole taken inside rather than outside for a change. I messed around with indoor pinholes for a while, but never got anything as good as yours.

Thank you Ed. ! when you get past the fact that it is going to prolly takes hours  of exposure and just deal with it, it becomes a lot of fun!! I am so sick of snow that it just isn't any fun to go out and try despertly to find something that isn't covered with white!!

When I was about 14 I had a summer job moving boxes at a friend's father's business, he was something to do with Hasselblad distribution in the UK. He told me the story about it being the camera taken to the moon. Ever since I've hankered after one, but I've never felt I could justify it.

Well I've finally bitten the bullet and at the moment we're circling each other, each not quite sure what to make of the other. Apart from the fact it takes me about 10 mins to take a shot, and weighs as much as a small car, I love it.

These are from my first test roll.

Ok, there are some weekends that are special and I think this is one of them. Keith´s (so classy), Ed´s (fantastic), Terry´s (I love portraits), Diane´s first Pinhole and Nigel´s second one (that could even pass as a Rolleiflex one  ;D) are my favorites so far..

Well some people complain about the snow and I complain about the sand and dust...  :D

Two Polas 108, from our weekend in the desert, a sand dune and beautiful Elena  ;D. Little Alma rode a camel for first time! And that was cool : ) On our way back to Khartoum we were hit by a sand storm that traveled with us all the way back (250Km...)

Great stuff everyone. Nigel, you're doing great with your new love! ;)

And another one from me. Roll three from this weekend. This time from the first roll through my Holga WPC that I shot last WPPD (yes, almost a year ago). I went out at dusk without a light meter and seriously underestimated the exposure time. Also there's drying marks on the negative. Oh well, hopefully the next rolls will be better :)

Can't pick a favourit this weekend, so many great pics.

I have, like Urban Hafner, a "new" Brownie Hawkeye modified by Randy at Holgamods. The frontplate is in a lovely red colour, so ofcourse, it is a Reddie now :)

Went to Gothenburg this weekend and shot the first rolls, and I think I am in love with this little baby.

Nice shots Britt! The reversed lens seems to work for you. I received my Hawkeye with a reversed lens by accident :) I'll have to try again now that I've flipped the lens back.

Great stuff as usual. My faves this week are charlesbinns, gregor, ed's thumbs up shot, diane's living room, admiral.asthma's cargo train and stevegz's flowers.

I kept on running into geese and swans this weekend.

Thanks Britt! I'm not sure about the lens, yet. I'll have to give it a try the "right" way around. Maybe I'll flip it back (it's easy enough to do).

I went to see the Hockney exhibition (http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/hockney/) Friday. Much prefered his charcoal pictures to the 'bigger' images. I was definitely thinking of this image of his...

Three terrific images Peter... I think I know where the first one is too!

I've still yet to see the Hockney exhibition so am going to reserve judgement until I've seen it in the flesh. It's certainly going to interesting for me as I grew up in East Yorkshire not a mile away from where he painted most of his new images.

You know where they were all taken Paul. All within a few yards of each other.

It was worth going but I was in London anyway. Not sure I would have made it otherwise. I went Friday afternoon and had to queue for an hour to get in. Apparantly it's quieter in the evenings.

Beautiful, Peter. I don't remember seeing many of your shots cropped to square but the tones and the way you've presented these shots is spectacular.

Still using the XP2 Super? I've become quite an avid fan of it as well - although I seem to be getting higher contrast. Maybe that's just down to the light or the way I'm scanning / processing. You should run some master-classes in how to post-produce images like these. I'd sign up in a flash....

Great idea Paul, could Skype be used to do a group webinar type thing?

I'm not quite sure how they all work.  I've used webex before but is it free?

[isn't it about time you got rid of that crappy old M6 Paul?  ;) ]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.

Yes, the first one I decided needed to be square when I shot it. The other two I just cropped to what I felt like. The second one I re-cropped to my usual 2x1 for my Ridgeway group on Flickr.

Yes, still XP2. Some difference maybe in that I process it in Aculux. I assume you're getting it done in C41 are you? As for post, these three had minimum done to them - even less than I normally do, which isn't much.

I've used both but only ever on a one to one basis.

If anyone's interested, I could write up what I do, it really isn't a lot, and post it on here or somewhere anyone can see it.

Hiya Chops.

I've genuinely no idea when it comes to Skype and webinars. I was actually thinking more of a "special edition FW podcast" on the subject. I doubt there's few absolute rights or wrongs when it comes to scanning (for the most part at least) but some pointers on how to achieve optimum tonal separation, sharpness, low (or high) grain and that sort of thing would be really helpful. Aside from some really good tips that have been passed along through Filmwasters threads, it's been trial and (a lot of) error for me.

Get rid of the M6? Well, I'll stick to my promise that if I ever do (and that is very unlikely) you will be given first dibs.

I just did a bit of searching and there is no p2p video conference software that supports multiple users without having a dedicated server. The simplest free way to do it is to install Big Blue Button on a server... not an option I fear.
Skype would work but there needs to be at least one premium user in the group.  :-\

Google Hangout+ does, for free (at least for now). I use it for staff meetings at work all the time, and I keep seeing posts online where people have recorded it somehow. I think it has a 10- or 12-person maximum.
