It's going to be a long weekend here:
a vintage Diana snap of the old church on the plaza in Old Town Albuquerque
I love this old Diana, it's the first one I ever bought. The others I gave away.
-
Becky, this shot is a stunner.

Just in Baker yesterday! Haven't had a chance to scan yet.

More telegraph pole action...

A few from the car show last week-end.
It was so cramped you just couldn't take a decent picture of a single car... so I ended up taking shots of hood ornaments.
I did abuse a star filter on this set. Not very proud of it but the images were so dull I felt they needed a little pick me up.
-
In the last one, some idiot was walking right into my shot...people :-\
I'm still pretty happy with the colors. Not bad for some Kodak Gold 200 that expired in 2001 :)
Overexposed by a full stop and it doesn't even show!
-
Nice shot, Becky!
here's one from Sunday brunch. Zeiss Ikon, ZM Sonnar 50mm, Tri-X
Cheers,
Jeff

Spent three weeks in Spain, that was delicious, no dust and heat for a while ;D
First one is a shot of my father, I have so few shots of him, we were in the Garden and I looked at my father and suddenly cried at him, do not move, do not move, I went home took the POlaroid and there he is ;D the other one is my cousin and a friend.
Becky, that church shot is just great!

Back to the Gakkenflex and Tri-X in TMax (looking for model with name ending in x)
Nah....

Wow!
Miller, how did you capture the signals coming off that pole?
That's really cool looking!
Francois, I love the color on the cars. And how can you go wrong with hood ornaments and a star filter!
Jeff-love the expression on his face!
Hookstrapped- I think this is one of your best.
Phil- that is a knockout blue sky!
Carlos- glad you got a break from the sand and dust, love the photo of your Dad.

Palm Sunday. Comitan Dominguez. Holga & TriX
Hookstrapped. Stunning!!
-
Spent a couple days in exploring California, drove 1100 miles in two days. Shot this pack of 669 that expired in 1992...was the old paper packs, figured it would be bone dry. Not the case, and excellent color!
-
Thanks!
another...

Becky... this is one of the sharpest Diana shot I've seen! beautiful...
Francois, love the star effect on the camaro symbol!... and the yellow car keeps smiling at me ;D
Miller: as Becky mentioned, you've captured the signals!...

Hookstrapped, that second one is.. fantastic
-
two more family shots from holidays, nephews, little Alma and Mamma ;)

Quite a few wonderful shots, can't mention them all but love the triptych from Hookstrapped.
I've started taking images again after a little break, last week I went to the John Jarrold print Museum in Norwich.
Here are a couple of shots:

Lots of fantastic images this week.
My favourites are the instant pictures from both Miller and moominsean. Those colours are just wonderful
Here's mine for this week. Chamonix 045-n2, with Nikkor-SW 90mm.

Happy Weekend!
-
Kenny, that second one is a fantastic example of urban ladscape 8)
-
Great work and this early in the weekend as well!
Just in Baker yesterday! Haven't had a chance to scan yet.
Great stuff, Sean. I thought it was a great place. Lots to tickle the photographic senses!
-
what a thread . . .
great stuff by all,
hookstrap's model shots as usual are beautiful . . . but the first is just stunning!
francois' cars are great, that filter adds a nice touch!
Moominsean and Phil as usual - great !
Kenny - those two shots are absolute class, great time of the evening to shoot!
astrobeck - lovely shot, the contrast is great.
everyone else - good work !!
colour seems to be v.popular . . .
-
Every image is a stunner..what a great weekend of photos..Mine from my latest pinhole..4x7 cause it was the size of the last piece of oriental paper...developed in Ilford multi-grade developer..I think I like this stuff better than Dektol..but still experimenting!
-
Francois, love the star effect on the camaro symbol!... and the yellow car keeps smiling at me ;D
It was an old Austin Healey... I don't know what year it was but it did look minty. And yes, it did smile at me too :)
-
I think it was an Austin-Healey "frog eye' Sprite, from about 1960. ;D
-
oh... sweet shots everyone! I'll be back to comment later, in the meantime here's a scanned neg that just dried a while ago.
and I gotta say, dektol ain't bad as a film developer ;D
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7217/7267717168_23bcc93d70_z.jpg)

I never knew you could use Dektol for film developing..information please?
-
Kenny, two killer shots and Peter, quality, as always.
-
I never knew you could use Dektol for film developing..information please?
you just dilute it more! I read around that some schools used it as a universal developer to cut costs. and other stories about horse race photographers and journalists using it in high concentrations to get their shots developed quickly.
when you mix up dektol you start by mixing up a stock solution and then later you use that diluted with water to get a working solution. 1 part stock and 2 parts water for normal use with paper, I think.
I found it's even on the massive dev chart :)
http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?Film=&Developer=Dektol&mdc=Search (http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?Film=&Developer=Dektol&mdc=Search)
I took out my time for ilford pan f plus (info under the shot) from looking at the times for tmax and tri-x and then comparing the times for those films compared to what I wanted to develop -but on the chart for D-76. apparently dektol is pretty similar to that developer.
this was just an educated guess though and I bet I could perfect things but..... eh! I like things simple :P :D ;)

Dektol will give you much chunkier grain than a regular developer. It also increases contrast quite a bit.
Thing is that most developers actually contain two developing agents: one for high contrast and one for low contrast.
The high contrast developing agent we're talking about is Hydroquinone. D-76 contains 5 grams of it. But Dektol contains 12 grams.
The trick to control contrast with is is to alter the dilution. For film, it can be diluted all the way to 1+4.
For 1+1 dilution, my old book recommends 5 min. at 68°F.
-
Stunning, Peter.
-
Peter--I like the last one best of that series; the weight of the mullion between the frames balances just right to my eye with the weight of the images themselves. Very nice.
I went to a play in the city yesterday and beforehand went for a walk along the High Line. I took along the new Exa with a Schacht 50mm lens and shot a roll of expired Portra 160 NC
-
Really like Mark's typesetter's blocks and Kenny's cityscapes. Peter's Gakkenflex girl series is just sublime.
A couple of seascapes from me taken last weekend, whilst the weather was still grey. Even by Norfolk standards, the 'lunar' landscape of The Wash at low tide is rather remote and austere, but wonderfully evocative too.

This seascape is from Friday evening. I used my bread and butter Rollei Retro 100 film and an orange filter. Some dodging in PS for the clouds.

I also really like the typesetter blocks and cityscapes. The use of color in both is lovely.
Thanks for the kind words on my shots. A couple of months of frustration working with a pair of flaky actors all went away in a couple hours of working with Yesenia.
-
After few weeks of not posting please allow me to post couple more shots ::)
Today and yesterday I went for shooting here in Khartoum, which is becoming more and more hazardous so I really have to push myself to go for shooting. Is not only the increasing extreme weather conditions (above 45 degrees) but also the attitude of government officials. Today at the Zoo, and as expected, a policeman shouted at me warning that photographing was not permitted. I calmly went to him and showed not only the government permit to shoot but my new brand ID card from the foreign affairs ministry 8) I flashed them both to the policeman and responsible of the ´Zoo´ with no success. They argued that i could not shoot because that was police area, I argued that it was police area because the policeman was in front of me but I was not going to shoot at him; they were adamant and I was adamant, so I decided to play the latino role, raising my voice and moving a lot the arms with additional gesturing, finally they surrendered :o The funny part is that when you arrive to Khartoum airport there is a gigantic sign that says something as tourists are welcome please bring your camera :'(
-
Carlos- maybe you should take a photo of that sign at the airport and show that to the police....
"The funny part is that when you arrive to Khartoum airport there is a gigantic sign that says something as tourists are welcome please bring your camera."

Finally some mild success with Ilford Direct Positive...5x7 pinhole developed in Ilford multi-grade

"The funny part is that when you arrive to Khartoum airport there is a gigantic sign that says something as tourists are welcome please bring your camera."
Becky, I am afraid airports is one of those places not allowed to be photographed. Actually once I almost got arrested because I did not realize that at the background of what I was photographing there was the airport... :-\ luckily I was shooting polaroid and I could prove that I was not a spy.
Diane, are those your friends? :)
-
It's only when you travel to faraway places like that that you realize you're not in Kansas anymore ::)
-
I took an evening stroll with the Hasselblad last night. The sign tells us that the weather was wonderful :D

-
Nick- I just love dried mud puddles...I'm always intrigued by the "artistic" designs left behind by the cracks.
-
Diane, are those your friends?
Well, a few of them that were around for the "shoot"! :) :)..my cats were trying to pull them away as the pinhole was exposing..!!
-
Great stuff all around. Great weekend thread so far.
I especially love Kennys night shots and am always a big fan of Hookstrappeds work.
Excellent showing guys, have a great weekend.
Heres some Tri X from a hike with the lady and the dog a few weeks back.
-
many many great pics as usual. ones that caught my eye:
miller's telegraph pole
Francois camaro
calbisu's portraits
photo utopia's letters
Terrys train window
Mine is a polaroid of my friend and his son last night after a day of surfing, sun and a beach BBQ, life here in cornwall is good :)
Converted polaroid model 100 to a manual lens and polaroid 108 expired in 1999
-
Nick if you get to go to the Jarrold print museum it's well worth it. I did the 'Museum at night' thing last Friday, so most of these shots are at 1/8-1/30sec ƒ3,5 400ISO.
I think normally they only open Wednesday mornings– plenty to see including old process cameras that were taller than me and a 1950's Hell scanner as well as a special typeset of the King James Bible first page set in original typeface!
Here's a shot not that good but of a 1950's printer, my Rollei comes from the same era..
(http://www.pbase.com/mark_antony/image/143578605.jpg)
-
Jeff, a cracking shot.
-
Yet another excellent bunch of photos. All are lovely but my favourites are:
Kenny's night shots
Hookstrapped's portraits
Miller's pole
Francois' Camaro
Calbisu's portraits
Photo Utopia's letters
Terry's train window
Mine are a few grab shots (one in Leadenhall market in the City of London and the other two around St Paul's Cathedral) taken with my Pentax S3 with 35mm/f2 lens on out of date (2008) Agfa Vista 200 film. (First roll of film I've put through this camera).
-
Miller, Hookstrapped, Sean - love those shots.
Carlos' kid on the Suzuki is also a fave - I like how he's using some kind of animal hide rug on the seat for comfortable ride.
Kenny - really like those urban landscapes.
Mine were shot in Beijing recently with a Hasselblad 500C/M on Fuji 400H.

Wow... Kenny's night shots are simply amazing...
I went down to the Park to visit the Dinosaurs with my old Voigtlander and some Ilford Dry Plates, possibly from the 50's.
I made these shots with 20 seconds exposure @ f4.6 , processed in Rodinal 1:50 for 15 minutes. They've came out a bit over exposured but I managed getting the levels corrected in Photoshop.

love the dinosaurs

love that series of images Mauricio . . .
i took these images at a car show last weekend.
the car is a Ford Mustang Mach I 1972.
the second is dissapointing with the "light leak"
on the bleached negative but i kinda like it all the same.

Ahh I squealed a little when I saw the dinosaurs! :D
I was talking about those dinosaurs a few weeks ago with a friend because they're a magical part of my childhood. I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid and I remember reading about these dinosaurs models and it seemed like they were so far away and so old that they surely must not still be around but then I found out that they ARE still around and it just blows my mind every time I see them or think of them. It's like fantasy made real.
It still kind of boggles me that they're listed buildings too ;D Really would like to take the speedgraphic down there sometime so I can have cyanotype dinosaurs.
Yesterday was mostly spent lazily drinking Pimm's in the park with my friends and making them marvel at my "hipster" polaroid 103 camera.

Thil, I like the lonely couple in the restaurant. Very evocative, no matter where.

Nick if you get to go to the Jarrold print museum it's well worth it.
Thanks for the tip Mark, will check it out.
Great colour in those Beijing shots, Thil.

Becky, me too, and there is no shortage of dried mud here at low tide.

Heather, the Dinosaurs are fantastic...for sure I'm going to miss the privilege of living just next to the Park. They're there! Week days if you can are perfect as there aren't so many people around, I'd love to see some "Cyanosaurs" ;D ...
Crown Graphic and f/8 zone focus? I'd love to hear more about that for sure! I've already loaded my roll film back...

Hasselblad SWC/M and Fuji 160C

After several evenings souping HP5+ in Rodinal, I'm within a dozen rolls, or so, of catching up on my developing backlog. Here are three made with an Olympus OM-1 during a January trip to Portugal.
-
Alan, dont worry about the bunked shot, they look great!
I finally got some film done. Still have 3 more rolls to get processed though. ive been slacking on my processing.
