I took the Ondu Multi-format pinhole to Scotland for a family holiday last week. One day was my birthday so I was granted a little more freedom to spend time taking pictures.
Here are two from the Isle of Skye.

Loving that second one Kevin, it has a ¨martianesque¨air in it... :o
I used to take close up portraits, when I started to use wide angle lenses I began to contextualize the ¨portraitees¨, I guess these are half way.

Do you get more saturated colors that way? I know with reversal film it tends to be more saturated if you slightly under expose but you don't get much latitude in that direction.
You had me scratching my head for a second there with "Allentown" knowing that Glazers is in South Lake Union. I'm sure Paul Allen will have that building in your photo torn down soon to replace it with a glass tower.

There is definitively a lack of JCBs in this thread!
The first is shot straight into a low sun. Both scanned on a combined printer/scanner thingy at 1200dpi using MS Paint. Best I could manage at my holiday resort.

nice start to the weekend guys!
Mine is from a little road trip down to the VLA.
Monsoon season has started so the next month will most likely have photos with clouds and or rain in them...
Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim with Vista 200 film
The Vista does look like re-boxed Fuji and is quite punchy and saturated, but I like it for toy camera shots and just riding around playing tourist in my own place.
I must have gotten a speck of dust in the camera when loading as some of the frames, including this one have a large scratch across the top if you look...but don't look okay. :-[
-
Wonderful shot, Becky! Are you sure this scrath is on the film? This looks like it could come from the scanner, I've seen this happen with my Epson V750. This occurs if the glass plate is not properly cleaned in the area where the scanner calibrates itself (or something like that ::) ).
-
I love every shot in this thread! Especially calbisu's "contextualized portraits" :)
Bryan: I think Terry's reference was to our NYC photowalk a few weeks ago when I told him that I was able to push Portra 2 stops and develop normally. So I think he was doing that just to shoot at a faster speed. Of course, underexposing and developing normally gives you (or, should I say, me) thinner negs and not much shadow detail, but it just proves that Portra has a lot of latitude :)
-
Yes, beautiful shots, especially Antonios portrait of his daughter and Beckies dramatic clouds.
I could get a few more long expired original Afga color films. Lot of base fog and not easy to scan, but I love the results. Here old Agfacolor RSX 200, home developed of course and exposed in my new favorite p+s, the Samsung AF-slim, the best Big-Mini that Konica never made. Viewing bigger at flickr is highly recommended to praise the sea of grain.

Satish--I was referring to our discussion during the FW meeting. I've tried longer development times with pushed Portra and didn't see any difference!
Bryan: I guess it would be a worthwhile project to shoot all the old buildings in South Lake Union before they're demolished. BTW, have you been to Glazers since they opened the new building? It's mighty impressive in there....

I don't know what they used to make those lenses but Vivitar sure did hit the jackpot when it comes to color saturation!
As for the scratch, it's a very easy fix and there are a ton of ways to do it in next to no time.
There's a free photoshop plugin called WireWorm that's designed to remove powerlines and phone wires. That would work.
Then there's in older versions of photoshop, you duplicate the image layer. On the bottom one you run the dust and scratches filter so that the line disappears. Then you make the top layer with the line visible and selected. You can use either the eraser or the marquee tool and delete just the line.
And on PS CS6 and up, you just select it, delete and click the option for background aware delete. That will replace the zone with a custom created texture that looks just like what's on top and under the line.
I've had something like that happen to me before and it turns out it was dust inside the scanner's mirror assembly. You just lock the head, put it sideways and shake it a little and the dust will usually move and sometimes go away.

That's amazing. I'm pretty sure that the Gold 400 that I expose at 1600 wouldn't respond the same way (ie, look the same push processed 2 stops vs processed normally), but there's really only one way to find out, isn't there? :D
-
Actually, I believe that technically I only push process that Gold 1.5 stops...

I haven't been to Glazers since they moved into the new building. The last time I was there was to buy a bottle of Rodinal. At the rate I'm using it I won't need to buy any more for a few years. I'll have to make it down there before that to check it out. Kenmore Camera near my house just opened a new store recently as well, I need check it out. The old store had a good selection of cameras, film and chemistry but no Rodinal. You should swing by there next time you're in town.

Nikon N60 with Kodak Max expired 04/2007. I had the lab push the film 1 stop.

Some beautiful portraits from calbisu and gimenosaiz this weekened!
I went on an early morning walk through the forest few weeks ago. Shots are taken with the Linhof Technika V and Xenar 150mm lens on Kodak Ektar. It was still pretty dark. For the first one I had to take a 10 minute exposure at f32.
-
10 minute exposure? :o Came out incredibly well!

I'll have to try that. I'm getting two such lines and figured it might be a sign of impending scanner death (after 12 years).
-
Scanners are pretty tough. It's either the lamp or the electronics that go.
If it's the lamp, it's easy to see. Electronics will start giving nonsense before going, not just two lines.
-

Agree!!!! Wonderful :o
-
Thanks for the comments! I was lucky that there was no wind at all that morning. :)
Regarding the lines on the negative - I only had that with color film I had given to a lab and always thought it must be something in their machine.
-
Wow! Manuel, that first shot!!!!
-
So as the train strike was off (for now), and as the weather forecast for Friday 12th was good, I booked a day off and on the Friday morning went off to Pevensey to shoot some Rollei Infrared film.
Developed it in the R09 developer from Firstcall and it's the first time i've noticed what I guess is 'bromide drag' - all the lighter areas of the negative have streaks lined up with the sprockets. Did my usual agitation, but have never had this before. Not so obvious in these shots, but very obvious in others.
Anyway. Rollei Infrared's not as good as the fabled Kodak HIE, but it's probably the best you can do for now.
First picture is the gate of Pevensey Castle, which has a kind of spooky skull face thing going for it.
-
Where does one start with this thread - just brilliant. Love Astrobeck's moody skies, Violetta's portrait is sublime, Kevin Allan's shots from Sky are gorgeous but I have to say that ManuelL's trees (especially the first) are my pick, so far....
One from me, this week. A grab-shot outside Liverpool Street station (Bishopsgate, London) with Nikon F5 and 50mm f1.4 AF-D / Ilford XP2 Super. The streets of London weren't paved with gold for this poor fellow.

Another from my recent trip to Idaho. I didn't expect to see a stand-up paddle board there on Lake Pend Orielle, bu there she was.

A couple of initial shots from my Polaroid 195, I'd wanted one for years. Better late to the party than never.

Late to the party again. Decided to spend some quality time with the fuji 690 to get to learn the ins and outs of this thing. 6x9 is really something. Total gamechanger compared to 35. Also scanning with the nikon makes these things really pop. I did these scans at 2k and my width was still over 6000px @300dpi.

The 690 is an excellent camera and I'm sure you'll continue to get great results (as these shots show). I had a GW690 iii briefly, loved the output but never really bonded with it in terms of actually using it. The lens was super-sharp the rangefinder was bright and easy to use. However, it was just a bit too big for the sort of carry-round camera I was looking for at the time.
-
I'm finding the same with my 690. I found that size was a huge turn off however yesterday I blasted through a roll carrying only the camera, spare roll, and a meter. It was lightweight enough not to kill my back. The idea is to use it more so I can get more accustomed to it since most rules and settings you use with 35 and even other formats of MF sort of change when the neg gets this big.
Still gotta warm myself up to shooting people with it though.

Well, they call it the "Texas Leica" as a result of it being a super-sized rangefinder.. It never occurred to me to use as either a street or portraiture tool (though there's no reason why it shouldn't be used as such) as I tend to use an actual Leica, Rollei or 'Blad.
Incidentally, if you're interested, there's a small set I took with the Fuji 690iii at my website www.fototour.biz (http://www.fototour.biz) (under the "Constable Country" tab).
-
Your examples are in line with the majority of what I'm seeing with this camera. Great tonality and sharpness with the capability to isolate quite large objects. Bokeh is uniform and not distracting either.
The 690s excel in this type of shooting I think. When you have time to really get into the shot and compose and think it through it gives you great results.
