Ok, having given up photography last week I find I'm producing more interesting images than before I gave it up! Toots Wilson, of Isle of Lewis Photographica [continuing] insisted I try out his Lubitel that had not seen the light of day since he purchased it not long after Stalin came to power - I think. Loadec it wif Perutz film rated it at about 50-100 and sloshed it afterwards in Print developer [as I do] and hey ho, I have some images.

Can't wait for the w/e thread, so this is the mid-week thread:-)

I really like the first - nice to see some support was offered from the elitist of elite clubs

I went to town for a conference and decided to go get some yummy bagels at my favorite bagel place. I took along my trusty Instax and came back with these. Since they were not taken over the weekend, I posted them here...

Love the second shot. Nice to see the label on the registration plate so we know what we are looking at :-)

For the moped shot, I was stuck between a minivan and a big recycling bin. When the girl was walking by, I first thought I'd let her pass to get just the bike, but at the last minute, I decided to include her in the image. When you look closely, she's actually tracking me with her eyes...

It's one of the first time where I actually include someone for other purposes than setting proportions in the image. I like it quite a lot too.

Andrea,
I was amazed when I read on your blog that you use print developer.

Does it work with colour print film?

What kind of Perutz film was that?

Andrea. · « **Reply #8 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:09:18 PM »

Ah yes MrPitxu. Print developer. I'm well known on the island for that :-) Works with E6 films as well as B&W and C41 films. Having said that I mainly use it for sheet film to make Alt negs. I also use it for prints as it happens.
The Perutz film is the last of a batch I got in Manchester some years ago. Totally messed up it is but gives a great texture :-)

an image I've been waiting for a good 6 months to get. It all seemed to line up right today - lighting, film, the composition especially.... bronica sq-a, polaroid back, type 669, expired 1999.
