...nope nothing from me as yet. I just wanted to start a weekend thread for once. Heh!

p.s.
Let's have more photos in other threads too if you get the chance. You don't have to save them all for the weekend

From two weekends ago but just processed and scanned. Taken at Stoke Row rally. I was trying to concentrate on the people as much as the engines.

I got back films from the Fujica GW690 and the Lomo LC-A. Totally different styles but I like both.

Mr Wenn: You're such a tease! I was expecting Amy and Joe in another adventure at Wenn Mansions!

Peter: Love, love, love that first one! I adore trains, and all things locomotive!
And the last one too! That hat is a prize!
Urban: Did someone have a boo-boo? (referring to the first one)

Urban, lovely colors all around

Peter, great photo-reportage! I imagine that if one of those big machinas would explote...

From my side and to join the colourful weekend thread three shots from my Canon F1-N with Kodak Gold 400, green, red and yellow

We're still in the stage where we're trying to keep the baby in (meaning my wife is lying down for 10 weeks already). But in a week or two there will be another filmwaster on this planet

Aww, thanks Becky. Sorry to disappoint you in the short term, but hopefully the Western flavour of this will make up for the 2 day delay in some measure.

Rhinestone Cowgirl...sort of

Jacqui in a 99p hat. Tachihara field cam with an old Graflex 150mm lens. Expired Polacolor 125i. Yee haw! Let me tell you; it's a complete pain trying to shoot close-in portraits with this smaller format film. I lucked-out with this one.

I have another one which came out fairly well. I think I'll shove it some coffee stain and see how it looks.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2010, 09:02:59 PM »

...and there's always the goop side of the story too.

calbisu · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2010, 10:04:11 PM »

Vicky, no problem! As I am already a Fan of your work we are even

Phil, that phrase is quite... enlightening

Ed, Really like that Goop, lots of character!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2010, 11:04:35 PM »

Ed, I really like all three. Of course, the finer points of LF focussing are lost on me, but, like them I do.

Calbisu, it is a wonder that this photo was ever taken. I had spent the night in a dry county and was hot-tailing it to some mates. My desire to escape the confines of an alcohol free county were quite strong, but, not strong enough for the shot to stop me in my tracks - albeit sober ones!

Francois · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2010, 11:43:04 PM »

For focusing view cameras, a magnifier is often used. Companies like Rodenstock and Schneider make some incredible ones with a non marking base plate and high magnification... only thing is they're friggin expensive...

By the way, I just love the color one

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2010, 11:58:14 PM »

Phil, I do love that your dedication to booze is (just) trumped by your eye for a great snap. I've sort of given up mentioning how much I love your work and assume that you take it as given....but I also enjoy the back-story and the comments every time

Now, regarding the finer points of LF focusing....erm yeah. Hands up who thinks I did anything other than stand in the kitchen with a semi-interested model, throw a dark cloth over my head (item closest to hand on this occasion was an apron), focus quickly while being tutted at, scream, "Right, I think your eyes are sharp....now don't bl**dy move!", then take a gamble on the best aperture (the old DOF versus length-of-exposure gamble when you can't see what you're actually taking a photo of), pray that the 405 holder went in the way I think it did (one way you lose the top of the ground glass image, the other, you lose the bottom) and then trip the shutter.

Slick as a BP executive...thass me

Francois: I'm glad you like the colour one. There is a certain joy to it that I'm proud of.

Carlos: I love your three for this weekend. Great stuff. What's the story with the axe man? C'mon, tell us.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2010, 12:06:53 AM »

Ed, you make it sound so easy! If I throw a towel over my head in the presence of Mrs Phil, AKA Jan, it is only greeted with sniggers and suspicion! I mean, Jacqui seems quite at ease with your odd ways - years of practice I guess!

Your kind words are never taken as given, but, always appreciated!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #20 on:** June 21, 2010, 12:21:30 AM »

Miller: I can't help but crack up when I look at your two goops as 'before' and 'after' shots and then try and piece together a narrative to explain what has caused the transition from the first to the second.

Windy · « **Reply #21 on:** June 21, 2010, 08:36:54 AM »

Great pics again, wonderful work everyone.

Been rather busy of late, together with guests staying in the spare room preventing access to the scanner, so I have a back log of developing and scanning to do.

This is one of my eldest son (rounders on the beach). Taken using the Rollei B35. A tad overexposed so didn't scan well, but some digital improvements courtesy of Andrea - time for a darkroom lesson, A?

I actually wish I'd taken that one!
BTW; are you mobile?

I'm hobbling around with a walking stick - taking the day off to help the recovery, hopefully wont take too long to recover.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2010, 09:37:39 AM »

Windy, good to see you back on FW....I had wondered where you gotten to. I love this photo and I think a darkroom session w/ Andrea would work well for it (OK, I haven't seen the neg, but if you can a result approaching this then I suspect you'd be happy). Also, I wish you a speedy recovery from whatever is causing your immobility.

I think you'll find Windy is actually suffering from "Oh my goodness, I've entered a long bike ride event and I need a suitable excuse" :-) But he is hobbling more than usual!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #27 on:** June 21, 2010, 05:06:40 PM »

Andrea, are you saying there is some kind of 'Man Flu' that relates to riding a bike? I think we are misunderstood

I made a 6x6 camera this weekend with a lens from a scanner. I shot a roll of FP4 to see what it was like. It's behaves like a superwide toy camera really- sharp in the middle and smudgy near the edges. I'm quite chuffed with how the images look:

Ed, the 'axe' man is a close relative. Family usually 'volunteer' to be photographed, as the one below, not so lucky though...

Lucky you that he's happy to pose. It certainly helps. And that 'axe man' photo is really great!

Francois · « **Reply #36 on:** June 23, 2010, 03:51:40 PM »

Somehow, the axe man reminds me of Nicholson in The Shining... chilling.

Last weekend ... Got my first roll of Delta 400 back from the Yashica Minister III. Took my bike up the a "hangman's" tree. Waiting on a roll of SFX 120 now that I shot of the same subject with the Toyocaflex, wondering how different they will look ... And of course, Basil.
