I'm away just now so my weekend started a week ago! a couple from me.

Hasselblad swc and hasselblad 501cm. Both in Texas

Karl · « **Reply #1 on:** August 19, 2011, 12:54:56 PM »

And what a start! Love both, second one more

Heather · « **Reply #2 on:** August 19, 2011, 01:32:15 PM »

Apologies for the huge spew of photos from me this week.

Hazelnuts

^^ Handheld with the speedgraphic, far far too close to properly use the view finder too. heh. Neighbour left her kid's shoes to dry on the steps.

^ crummy self portrait, slightly underexposed.

and some pics from the distillery tour in June

And I went up the BT Tower a few weeks ago. This is the chapel in the former Middlesex Hospital ... the chapel is listed, the rest of the building wasn't so the rest of the building went... I thought it'd be built around by now but I guess the recession killed off the building project.

Terrific start to the weekend..Phil that 1st one is a joy!
mine from a newly acquired Agfa Isoly..

Phil I really like that wagon!

Jeff

Lino · « **Reply #5 on:** August 19, 2011, 04:10:05 PM »

Great start everyone. I really like Phil's second station wagon and your one picture Jeff. Also blue shoes and moody barns...

Blaxton · « **Reply #6 on:** August 19, 2011, 04:13:03 PM »

Excellent Hazelnuts, Heather. I also like the 3-D quality to Jeff's mural on Montrose Street.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2011, 04:30:16 PM »

Heather, never too many from you. Diane and Jeff, great photos.
These weekend threads are great motivators.

Miles · « **Reply #8 on:** August 19, 2011, 05:02:43 PM »

Phil - Love the depth on the second, anyone driving that car would be in beige trousers I'm sure !
Heather - The Self is lovely
Jeff - Where's that taken ?
Diane - That's soooo good

A few from the Trip loaded with Fuji colour C41, not something I usually like. They are a bit hackneyed really but Havana takes a while to soak in as I was just walking around with my mouth open. have lots on B&W to Dev, can't wait

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2011, 05:11:30 PM »

Miles, I want to visit Cuba so badly!! Done most of europe and the U.K. and also South America but not Cuba!
Your images are wonderful..adds to my envy!

Lino · « **Reply #10 on:** August 19, 2011, 06:30:05 PM »

While I was in chile I saw the students protest for free and better education at the public universities. Didn't really get the full scoop, but I hear that they are still on strike.

trolls in the educational system

posing for pictures with the shock police

Hey Miles, I always wanted to go to cuba, nice pictures!

Diane...what an amazing shot!

I can't believe I had one of those and sold it...

at the time I was shooting "strictly toy camera" and I thought the Isoly results were "too sharp" for a toy

Chalky · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2011, 06:51:45 PM »

few polaroids from me, have a good weekend!

all expired film, polaroid 195 and cornwall.

Lino · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2011, 07:09:57 PM »

haha hell yeah quadrophenia!

Jeff Warden · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2011, 07:23:58 PM »

Chalky - the quadrophenia cycle is awesome!

Miles - the mural is in The Italian Market section of Philly. The stiff is Frank Rizzo, a long dead police chief and Mayor of Philly, still looming over the place. :-)

Another from the same street -

Got a bunch of rolls back this week. Heres a few of my favorites, been doing a ton of hiking lately and these are just from various trails around LA.

Andrea. · « **Reply #16 on:** August 19, 2011, 09:47:48 PM »

Lovely images this week. Great to see images from Chile and Cuba - both places I have visited and loved. Chile got a bit exciting [it was the 1980s] while I was there. Some locals took a pot-shot at Pinoche and sadly didn't finish the nasty git off. But there was a curfew, huge military presence on the streets of Santiago and this military parade. Dug out these snaps from that time.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:35:59 AM »

Andrea, thanks for posting these. They are all great and I'm glad you lived to tell the tale!

Late Developer · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:25:43 AM »

One of the strongest starts to a week(end) thread for a while. Phil's shots are superb (as usual), Heather's cyanotypes are just stunning - I particularly like the shoes - wonderful shots of Cuba and Chile (Cuba is, hopefully, our destination for next year), Jeff's shop window is just gorgeous - "hollywood meat market" indeed - what could you mean....? Just a wonderful bunch......

Just one from me, for now. This is a conversion from colour (not much colour so it might as well be mono) taken on the F2S with Nikkor 20mm UD f3.5 (or maybe the 35mm f1.4, I can't remember) on a very sunny morning a week or so ago.

LT · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:08:21 AM »

wonderful stuff everyone! Lino and Andrea - decades apart, but very similar scenes - excellent.

I feel this is a colour weekend this time round. Just to be contrary, I'll be posting some dull monos as soon as I get them developed/ scanned and titivated .

Terry · « **Reply #20 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:15:35 PM »

I love what I've seen so far--another topper of a weekend thread.

calbisu · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2011, 03:12:34 PM »

Ok, I am back!!!! I have spent few weeks in Spain with Family and friends and now I am back in the Philippines. For those weeks in Spain I have been shooting with the expired Polaroid 108 (2000) with which I am having great surprises and with the Rollei. Just Friends and Family, no street shooting, I just do not want to get strange faces... It´s great to be back in the Filmwasters which I feel like being between friends Great shots everybody this week, I started to write and then I realized I was mentioning everybody!! Diane´s composition, LD classical look, Chile´s photojournalistic approach, Phil´s wagon, Chalky polas...

Three 108 polas from 2000, the batch many filmwasters bought. It reacts very differently to light conditions and exposure but all in all just great. I have tried to reproduce color with as much fidelity as possible.

Dave Elden · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2011, 04:50:08 PM »

Wasn't originally going to post anything but saw Miles Cuba pics and decided to contribute a couple from a visit to Havana in 2005. Havana1 (artist making lithograph in a print shop in Havana) shot with CV Bessa R2, CV 35mm lens, Havana2 (street corner in Havana) CV Bessa L, CV 15mm lens. Ektachrome.
Shot while in Havana on a workshop led by David Barbour (http://www.davidbarbour.com/).
One thing that struck about many of the images this week is how much is added by there being some sort of caption to put them in context.

Late Developer · « **Reply #23 on:** August 20, 2011, 05:19:24 PM »

Love those additional shots of Cuba, Dave. Looks like you were "Havana" really good time....sorry, couldn't resist.

Okay..........so, a few of us did a little stroll round a couple of short stretches of the Ridgeway (kindly organised by Peter Robinson) a month or so back. Well, at long last, I have the trannies back and I've just scanned them. These shots were taken on Fuji Provia 100 slide film using the Hasselblad 500c/m. Hope you like them.

Nick Moys · « **Reply #24 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:07:26 PM »

So many great photos and great places - now I'm itching to go to Cuba, Texas, Philly, Cornwall and a Scottish distillery.....if only I hadn't spent so much money on polaroid film this month!

Most favourites so far are Miles' Havana shots, Chalky's polas, Jeff's street shots and Randy's dog. Jeff - I assume the guy on the mural is the same Frank Rizzo that Gil Scott Heron mentions in his song about Nixon (H2Ogate Blues?)

A local Norfolk landscape from me - shot on the way home from work one afternoon shortly after a summer rain storm - Voigtlander Bessa R2M. Still experimenting with Rollei Retro 80S and different developers - this time Rollei RLS slow speed developer.

Have really been enjoying the Cuba series new and old presented here.
Someday I will go there...it's on my list.
Randy B.-love that sly looking dog.

A couple from my YashicaMat 124G and Neopan 400 from a walkabout in Santa Fe..

is this where we share pictures?

great stuff from everyone!

Lino · « **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2011, 09:35:30 PM »

Pretty cool stuff Andrea. It's like seeing history in the making.

moominsean · « **Reply #28 on:** August 21, 2011, 10:00:24 PM »

A bit of expired Konica film, self developed with a Unicolor Kit. Bronica S2 and Komura 50mm lens.

Terry · « **Reply #29 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:47:22 AM »

I've been tinkering with some new acquisitions, so here's another one from the Boston trip. I put this up on frickl and Nigel said he liked it...

rolo · « **Reply #30 on:** August 22, 2011, 03:48:00 AM »

I seem to be late for everything these days. Hope I'm not too late for the weekend.

Here are a few from a recent trip to Amsterdam and Helsinki.

Cameras: Konica Big Mini HG, Mamiya 7II, Diana 151

rolo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 22, 2011, 03:51:26 AM »

Two more, one from Espoo, Finland (camera: Franka Solida, film: EPP, cross processed); another from Helsinki (Mamiya 7II, Portra 160NC).

Mojave · « **Reply #32 on:** August 22, 2011, 04:19:39 AM »

Sorry folks. Coming in just under the wire here.

Great stuff from everybody, as usual. And welcome back Carlos!!! Loving your shots!

Been busy with gum prints all weekend and thought I'd post my latest and favorites here.

First one was originally shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 and the second I shot just this weekend at the fair using my Spectra and that softone pola film I got at such a discount. Shot up 4 packs with the intention of making just about all of the shots into gum prints. Its a great film for it and its color so I get to do tricolors. YAY!!!

Hope everybody had an excellent weekend!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #33 on:** August 22, 2011, 09:06:52 AM »

Erin, these are both great, but, the second has me dribbling. Love it!

Skorj · « **Reply #34 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:57:32 PM »

Wow! Some great stuff. That first one Phil though is stellar. I went back to 1956 with my GR-1 and some XP2 Super...

hookstrapped · « **Reply #35 on:** August 22, 2011, 01:00:17 PM »

Nice stuff!

salvo · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2011, 01:49:46 PM »

good stuff as usual here - those shots in Chile in the 80's really brought me back when I used to see those events on the news.
Anyway, sorting out the typical holidays shots, bit of mix and match...

Mojave · « **Reply #37 on:** August 22, 2011, 02:48:32 PM »

Thanks so much Phil!! I feel the same way about that cracked tail light in front of the abandoned building. Wonderful!!!

hookstrapped · « **Reply #38 on:** August 22, 2011, 02:56:21 PM »

Phil, what film are you using?

calbisu · « **Reply #39 on:** August 22, 2011, 03:03:46 PM »

Erin, this gum stuff looks just cool!! Really curious to see how it will evolve

Salvo, fantastic matches. Specially like the last one!

Three from me, more from the holidays. Two with Polaroid and one with the Rollei. I went to shoot with some friends to a nearby forest. The model is an amateur theater actress. We were like 10 of us and everybody has 20 minutes with her. Of course I was the only one using analogue cameras... what a pity.

LT · « **Reply #40 on:** August 22, 2011, 05:22:28 PM »

all great! brilliant. The pic of the week so far for me is a tie between Erin's gum print portrait and calbisu's first shot - both wonderful.

25x4 negs scans and a holga from my hols - a few more to develop. It was a very wet 2 weeks with some very fast moving waterfalls to see. The Roughting Linn pic is so deceptive - the water was thundering over it. I;ve been there many times and never seen it so fast and heavy. BUT, I only had some 100 speed film, and it is so dark down there that the 10 min exposure has lost all the drama sadly. I'm kicking myself for leaving the box of hp5 at home

Flip there's some top stuff here, Ed you're sooooo Picard in that second shot

Love all the Pola stuff this week, the second Gum Print and Beck's Radio Plaza kicks booty.

Cool splash of colour from late and top Road from Grey.

Leon the water looks amazing.

I need to stop taking and get developing ... Three more Havana's from the Trip 35.

Blaxton · « **Reply #47 on:** August 24, 2011, 12:54:14 AM »

In my many viewings of this weekend thread--a particularly strong one, it seems to me--I find myself lingering over Randy's dog Dylan, Terry's Boston Gallery, Nick's Norfolk landscape and Leon's cascading water shots.

Miles · « **Reply #48 on:** August 24, 2011, 10:22:36 PM »

WARNING - THIS POST CONTAINS GRAVEYARDS

Three from a little place just outside Trinidad in Cuba, Fuji Velvia, Mamiya C3 with a newly purchased 55mm lens combo.

Thom Stone · « **Reply #49 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:49:17 PM »

wow really strong thread! particularly a fan of Leons wonderful shots and Calbisu (those are RIGHT up my street, make me want to go back and completely reshoot a recent shoot with a friend ) Got lots of deving and scanning to do from my weekend away to the lakes but here are a couple of polas. First two are shot on my mamiya rb67 on fp100c gloss with the pola back, and the third is my new polaroid 100 with fp100c silk (courtesy of mike raso of the FPP, who kindly did a direct swap with me for my 320 :-) (they are all the short dated stuff from the 7dayshop)
