Very nice start, Kai. I especially like the first one.

These two were shot on the Bronica. The first one, B&W, with the lens wide open at 2.8 on HP5+ pushed to 1600. Second one with Fuji Velvia 100, developed at home. Underexposed half a stop, on purpose.

I received the Fuji GS645s on Monday, two days after it was shipped. Ran a test roll shot at home to check for light leaks and such, and everything works out fine. Hopefully, I can actually test it this weekend outside.

Have a good weekend!

Miguel, the lighting of the portrait is superb. I suspect that just used available light and no reflector. Still, the lighting is very flattering and your subject is very charming. Great work.

I finally received my Kodak Ektar 100 negatives back from the lab. I think that I need to start developing C-41 myself because the lab takes ages and I always have the impression that they don't take care of their chemicals properly. I often have strange residue on the negatives and it takes ages to take care of the spots it causes in post. Still, the shots turned out alright. I went for an autumn scene in the gorgeous Okertal, a valley close to where I live. Shot with a Zenza Bronica SQ-A.

Nice results from your castle outing, Manuel. Especially the Castle Yard looks great.

A little industrial relic, again the Peak District, and an old lead mine.

I'm very late to the party, but this photo was made over the weekend! There's a nice stand of Maples about 45 minutes from where I live in the mountains so me and my Diana made a little day trip out of it.

Kodak Ektar 100

I just discovered how much I like Ektar 100 for landscapes. Your shots confirm it, Becky. :)

Definitely. And the fun thing about forests is that you don't have to rake all those leaves like I did last week-end :)
And it does smell so nice...

Thanks! Yes, available light (from the LED screens at Times Square). I have considered buying a reflector, but considering my lack of social life and friends availability, I am not sure who will hold it  ;D

Considering the amount of great portraits that you shot so far featuring very interesting subjects I have trouble believing you. :)

Probably could use the same friend as mine...
a lightstand and a 4$ reflector clamp from eBay  :D

I know when I saw this on eBay, I didn't even know such a gadget existed... Sure beats gaff tape.

There're so many nice gadgets. I bought an "attach your umbrella to your tripod" clamp a little while ago. Looking forward to trying it out.
