I stumbled across a box of negatives made with my Rolleiflex on a music trip to Portugal in July 1993. I photographed bands then (as I have continued to do since) in the central region, especially in the Serra da Estrela mountain towns. The negatives were developed in London that same month at a place in Soho called Joe's Basement. I assume that it is long gone now. These negatives--from about 25 rolls of HP5--are spectacularly well processed. They scan with almost no photoshop manipulation. Printing is easy as well. I have been mucking about with Rodinal for the last several weeks trying to make it work for me but, reminded as I am now that a good negative is the key, I think that I may give up and go back to my previous developer. I won't claim to being able to produce Joe's Basement quality but my negatives were much better than anything I have been able to produce recently.

Anyone want an unopened 500ml bottle of Rodinal?

Spent a day this week in Casa Grande, a desert town just south of Phoenix. Odd abandoned structure known as the Domes out in the middle of nowhere. Built in the 1980s as a tech factory, never completed and left as is. First two with ID-UV in the 190, third with the Universal w/100mm 2.8 and 665.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing.
My guess is it's the film and overexposure but I could be wrong.

Choppert , don't know really, the above, for example, just needed a white point balance correction in PS ... tho' I will use levels and contrast tweaks - which I feel I never get right.

Not sure what more to say, other than ... Light is King and Queen.

Francois, the film is Kodak Colour Plus 200ASA. A Jessops freebie.

I'm sure you are right about the overexposure but since I don't use a light meter, every exposure is correct.

tinm@n · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2010, 02:17:21 PM »

Thanks for the comments :-)

Blaxton - your negatives really do look quite amazing ! and Joe's Basement is such a fantastic name. Think I'm going to start a new band and use that as the name ;-) I'll have yer Rodinal if you're serious, I'm coming to the end of my bottle

Wavebeat - always like your glowing colour stuff too, subject matter v pleasing once again too :-)

Sean - some freaky stuff going in that 2nd ID-UV shot. I'm trying to grab as much ID-UV as I can at the moment as I'm loving the transfers it's been yielding recently for me

I am serious about unloading my unopened bottle of Rodinal. (I have a second bottle that I have been using--maybe 80ml gone--but I'll hold onto that.)

My only question is what would trans-Atlantic shipping be? Would it be worth it? I'm pretty sure that I can ship anywhere in the US for about $5.

thanking everyone for their kind remarks!

Yes shipping overseas not worth it ...

Let's see some more photos folks !

Mike (happyforest) · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:25:22 PM »

Tinm@n you wished for more.

I've been meaning to take a picture of this building for sometime.
The plan was to take several and make a 'joiner' but only managed to a couple of frames before I ran out of film.

Expired FP4 at 125, in rodinal 1:100 stand.

I find that second shot particularly intriguing.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2010, 10:55:53 AM »

Joe's Basement closed down a few years ago - sniff. I used it a lot & liked it. Not many pro labs left in Soho...but that's a subject for another thread.

On the shooting front I've been using my Land Cam + close-up filter setup to try a few portraits (and I mean literally 3 or 4 so it is very early days). I have 4 models close to hand (including myself), but one is always busy, one can't really speak or take instruction...and the other is a 5 year old girl with a mind of her own (i.e. she won't hold still). The one of Amy is more of a test shot than anything, but I'm posting it here because I like the light. The SP was more successful & proves that one way to get a decent SP is to have a focusing distance of 17cms thus allowing one to trip the shutter and hold a close-up filter in front of the lens whilst smouldering for the camera (ahem!)

I'll definitely be doing more portraits like this and then staining them in the coffee. I think it would work. Damion...this is advance warning for next weekend. Bring your game face.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2010, 11:01:18 AM »

Ed, I'd say the coffee staining is a success - perhaps pout a little next time or give us that 'come and get me' look!

tinm@n · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2010, 12:55:53 PM »

Ed, must try a close-up lens myself, they look really good, esp that first one though you look pretty mean and magnificent too.

original_ann · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:05:00 PM »

So many stellar shots - I love 'em all!

Tinm@n - love those SX-70s!!

Diane - sweet fancy time-warp, missy! How long was the exposure?

Andrea - you could knock me over with a feather. Gorgeous.

Ed - gorgeous portrait and sp!

original_ann · « **Reply #25 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:18:18 PM »

Remember when I asked for help how to load my 4x5 sheets on reels? No you say? Well that's because it was MONTHS ago. I finally gave it a whirl and lo - your advice worked like a charm so thank you all! These were 'snapshots' I took (not knowing if I'd get any image) and my first time developing 4x5 in a Jobo on a Unicolor drum roller. It went very well, but I think I need to work on perfecting tonal range with that constant agitation...

Windy - that train station one is amazing. Each figure just looks so perfectly poised. Good job that copper was staring off into nowhere and didn't see you with your camera.

Diane - love that last Holga one !

Ann - 2nd one is making my eyes drool, I need to get my act sorted with developing 4x5 as well.

I've changed it now to 19th-21st

Blaxton · « **Reply #36 on:** March 22, 2010, 01:32:59 PM »

These two were from a roll of Ektar put through my Leica with a 24mm lens on a walk through the neighborhood with my beagles. When I got the film back from the CVS Pharmacy, I scanned it and it showed a heavy green tinge. Maybe I should try to find a different pharmacy.

Testing out a Balda Jubilette 35mm folder. Got it as gift and finally had some time to run a roll of film thru her. Actually is a pretty sweet camera, a good lens, and a tad too good for my liking

Thanks Sheila. A bit of a throw back to when I used to do a lot more equine stuff. Here's one from some years ago.

All 35mm cropped to what you see.

The recent ones were taken with a Contax RXII with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35 zoom which I was trying out for the first time. The old one was taken (I think) with a Canon EOS with a borrowed 70-210 which I was testing with the view to buying into the EOS system for my equine stuff. Which I did in the end. Though I've now since sold it all as I don't shoot so many horses now (so to speak).
