Weekend 3/4/5 March
« on: March 03, 2023, 07:59:42 PM »
It's rare I post these days and I've never started a weekend thread, but the film from the dog-walking camera has been developed and so I have something to share.

I don't know what a dog-walking camera is, but you have achieved a very nice graphic effect.

I know what a dog walking camera is, that’s the camera you take when you walk your dog.  I have several of them.  I didn’t take my dog to Pennsylvania, so these weren’t taken with a dog walking camera.  I used a Leica IIf with a Summaron 3.5cm lens.  The film is Ilford FP4+ developed in Beer.

So an über-expensive Leica can be a dog-walking camera? I wonder what the people over at Leitz would say to that.  ;)

Mine is a mere XA2. Because my dog is getting on a bit he tends to plod the same paths, so with little new to see, a film lasts most of the year!
If Leitz would care to sponsor me I’d happily pop an M6 in my pocket instead 😁

Well, as long as you don't put nice Leica glass on it, I don't think they'd mind 😉
I'm sure somebody could find a D.S.L. to put on one...

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

I was thinking over an project idea of photographing water towers but for some reason I think the American ones always have a more interesting look than the brick built Victorian ones we have over here. I will have to think on.

A mix of 5x4 with the Chamonix using a 270mm Rodenstock Rotelar F5.6, FP4 and the Mamiya Super 23 where I had to guess the metering - which didn't come out to bad, Ilford Delta 100 both in ID11

I think Bernd and Hilla Becher thought brick was cool.

Yes I came across a lot of their industrial images when I was doing some background research and trying to get a more interesting view of them rather than a pictorial shot.
