Topic: Last weekend thread of 2018!

I actually got out and shot an entire half roll last week. :-)


Zeiss Ikon P3200

Nice shot Jeff, where do you buy those half rolls?

This year went by pretty fast.

This is from last weekend. Shot Ektachrome with the Yashica Electro 35gsn.

Nothing special, just trying out the new film and practicing shooting while walking.

Ektachrome! I’m looking forward to shooting this film.

I've been growing crystals to view under the microscope.  I found that Ascorbic acid makes some nice crystals so I decided to see what Beerenol does since it has Ascorbic Acid in it.  It does grow crystals, not as colorful as Ascorbic Acid by itself but they look kind of like snowflakes.  To get the dark background I shot this with polarized light.  I don't have a Polarized Light Microscope (PLM) so what I did was put one polarizing filter on the light source and another between the objective and the eyepiece.  That's a simplified version of a PLM but it works pretty good.  A PLM, also called a Petrographic microscope, is used to analyze crystals in geology.  If the crystals are the right thickness they make some great colors, these crystals are too thin for that.  The crystals I shared last week were shot the same way but they were thick enough to make some good colors.

This is a GIF of the crystals growing, shot and developed the same as above.  The GIF covers a time of about 4 minutes, they grow fast enough that you can watch it.

Two shots taken on slide film this week. The first is medium format Velvia 50 and the second is 35mm Agfa Precisa CT100, aka Fuji Provia 100F. Both developed in the Tetenal E6 kit.

Great shots! I am going to go ahead and double-dip on this thread since I want to share the results of a little experiment I did last night:

I developed a roll of C41 (Kodak Colorplus 200) in E6 chemicals, to see what would happen. I am actually quite pleased of this result:

While I know that redscale film is relatively easy to make, this "xpro" allows me to shoot the film full speed without compensation. I will continue to experiment with this C41 to E6 Xpro.

Been a bit lax developing the rolls of colour film I shot in the summer, but did get around to developing this memory of a summer day shot in August on Kodak Portra 160 in the Ondu multiformat pinhole.

Last April, I went to a fairly secluded area, in the Beira Litoral of Portugal to check out the forest fire damage and to enjoy the beautiful, quiet, and dynamic natural setting.  I posted some pictures I made then with a hand-held camera.  Here is a link to one:  https://flic.kr/p/259JR2o  Today I returned with my century Graphic loaded with some Ilford Pan F+ film and made some pictures of the same burned-out area.  I may return again next year.

What a great variety of different shots. Well done, everyone. I particularly enjoyed Kevin's shots. I have no idea what I'm looking at in the first shot but the texture ist brilliant and the colours of both shots are great.

I shot all of the following shots on Saturday (that's why I'm still posting them in this thread). Shot with a Canon F-1 on Fuji Superia 200, developed with Digibase C-41. The first shot was a little tricky because I used an ND1000 and I had no idea what the reciprocity failure of the Superia 200 is (and I only had a tripod but no cable release). I exposed the shot for 1m30s (68s would've been the exact exposure without compensation). However, it seems like Superia 200 doesn't have any significant reciprocity failure around 1m exposure time so I had to burn the shot a little bit (not too much) after scanning. There's hardly any info on reciprocity failure of the Superia 200. Does anyone here have any info? I still have no idea whether or not I like the Superia 200. It's fantastic in artificial light but it's very "generic" (for lack of a better word) in daylight. The results are good but they don't have a lot of character.

Anyhow, I hope that all of you had a great 2018 and that you'll all have an even better 2019. Be blessed!
