It is Friday eve, and Tomorrow will be weekend eve, so it is the weekend already, surely?

Another noodle from my locale, taken, dev'd and printed yesterday. I'm fast!

sure Leon, it's the weekend..., definitely.

Here's one from yesterday.

Chalky · « **Reply #2 on:** February 16, 2012, 12:40:25 PM »

couple lovely ones to start...

nothing super inspiring from me, but something I am pleased with.

I've just completed a 110a conversion to pack film using among others, the instructions here and on seans blog.

I'm in the UK and the weather has been grey, so last night I got desperate for a test shot and used a hand held flash for this. It is type 108 film from 2000 (I LOVE this film) shot at about f6 ish on B mode and the shutter shut after the flash was set off.

I was focussing on the red check shirt, so really pleased that the shirt is in focus and the rangefinder is accurate after it needed tweaking. didn't need to adjust the infinity stop though which was good. Now just need to send the lens and shutter for a tweak of the lower speeds to Ray in the other thread.

enough talking! happy weekend all. more scans to follow from my first attempts in the darkroom.

Leon - just love your composition, the decreasing sizes of trees combined with the winding river is superb

Dynamo - this and the series you've posted on flickr are excellent

Taken last year at Dungeness on my Agfa Super Isolette, HP5 and developed in Prescysol EF

Haven't shot in the past couple weeks, but here is one from last month...

calbisu · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2012, 05:40:40 PM »

ja, ja, we are really talented photographers!!

Diane, like a western technicolor movie!
Dynamo, great Portrait
Chalkie, yes that film...
And Leon and Sean with its own particular style..

Two more from Khartoum. Those gentlemen over the trucks are their owners. They are just waiting for someone to hire them with their trucks. This is a market area in the Northern Khartoum. That day nobody stopped me asking me for photo authorizations or trying to seize my camera, which is quite a common thing

Rolleiflex 2.8E Kodak Tmax 400

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2012, 05:52:22 PM »

Wow! A powerful start and it's still only Thursday.

Leon, that is a beauty
Dynamo, I like very much.
Paul, great composition.
Diane, digging the colour
Sean, I like this, but, I ain't looking at it once I have hit the gin.
Carlos, I love the first one.

A couple of Holga shots from La Granja, a palace outside Segovia. Nothing special really. Lovely shots from everyone as usual but I especially like Leon's, Paul's & Dynamo's.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2012, 07:41:49 PM »

another from the "Prairie", this time with a skier, prolly looking for some snow.

Nick Moys · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2012, 08:11:15 PM »

Like everything so far, but especially Leon's river, Paul's boat, Calibsu's first truck, and Sean and Dynamo's polas.

A couple from me from a recent walk around Holkham in North Norfolk. Rolleicord Vb/Delta400/FX-39.

Happy weekend. Nick

Some old color out of a Holga with a magnifier held in front of the lens.

Can't compete with the above !

Just back from a trip to England. Took some 35mm and under developed the first of the rolls yesterday. Still, I found this snap. Taken on the Kiev II with Jupiter12 and Orwo N74 rated at 1600 asa and stand developed in Rodinal. Neg scan

...so that would be at the end of your driveway then, Diane?

Leon: Surely when you posted the first photo it was Thursday night, not Friday? Either way....but I just wanted to check you weren't having a nervous breakdown. Love the shot, BTW.

Here's one from me. Amy at the playground yesterday shot on the usual combo of expired Polacolor 125i and the Land Camera 360 (and using the usual model too!). This pack had a crazy red shift that I've never seen before with 125i (which is usually big on the blues and sometimes greens). If the other 20+ packs have the same I'll be excited.

EDIT: Just found time to scan another from the same pack:

That is correct ... it was the day before Friday - Friday eve. Just like the day before Christmas is Christmas eve.

My home internet's down so I'm posting from elsewhere

Instead of browsing the web, I've therefore been browsing the picture files on my home pc and I found this un-uploaded pic of Stornoway's Criterion Bar from way back.

God, my life is complicated enough without you not just writing, 'Thursday'....but point taken.

Lawrie · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2012, 04:58:31 PM »

Lots of great stuff so far.................

Leon - A stunning landscape with incredible tonal range. (you also get top marks for speed!)
Phil - The master of the square format - as usual your image rocks!
And so many more good images.

My contribution is a bunch of plants awaiting planting. Hasselblad 500CM with 80mm Planar. Ilford FP4 developed in Pyro PMK. Scanned and adjusted in PS.

Ed, I'm loving that red cast - fingers crossed that you have more of it!
Ian, very dreamy. It never hurts to revisit old scans.
Lawrie - lovely and thank you.

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2012, 07:18:43 PM »

There must be few sites around where so much Polaroid still gets burned. Nice shots there both. And beautiful work from Sudan, Carlos. Look forward to more of these street portraits. Andrea, I'm guessing that's not cotton growing out there through the windows.

I'm hoping to shoot Sunday, but meanwhile I know dogs always go down well here.

VUWS shots from '08 and '09.

There's just too much good stuff to mention, but I have to say I love those truck pictures from Khartoum - quite how exotic does that sound! And Randy what the hell is that?

I went out locally testing my new Kodak Brownie Reflex 20 - it's too good for a plastic camera - not as distorted as my Holga, but not sharp either.

Late Developer · « **Reply #27 on:** February 18, 2012, 04:52:08 PM »

Some belters on here this weekend. Faves, so far are:

- Leon's "noodle"
- Dynamo's Fuji pic
- Paul Mitchell's boat at "Dinginess"
- Calbisu's first shot
- Astrobeck's butterfly
- Sandeha's pooch

....though all are beautiful.

Mine is from a recently processed roll of XP2 Super taken on my Rolleiflex 3.5T when the LF team descended upon Faversham last month.

.....a couple more from me. Again from the LF trip to Faversham Quay. Phil is getting on down with his Linhof and Leon is playing "air camera" with his (former) Shen Hao. Both taken with Rolleiflex 3.5T on XP2 Super.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #30 on:** February 18, 2012, 11:53:18 PM »

Very nice, Paul. The big difference here is that Leon is taking a photo and I seem to be at the wrong end of mine

Great portraits this week, Dynamo, Calbisu, Late developer. Great images all round as usual.

My efforts are from a recent trip to Holkham beach. I'm experimenting with developers and these are first out Tmax100 in RO9 1:50, really pleased with the combo.
Also first pics from new to me fuji 690GSW which I have fallen in love with. Built like a tank and the shutter release goes off like a gin trap!

I love how water turns to velvet with pinhole. It's just so wonderful of an effect!

Also like the Cha-cha-cha by Andrea.

Good stuff all really! And glad the weekend drizzles on into the following week...it always makes Mondays brighter for me!!
