Howdy all,
Here are a couple of photos taken a few days ago at Oaks Park here in Portland. These were taken with a 1930s Agfa Ansco Shur-Shot and expired Kodak PRN 100 film. Have a great weekend!

pdewolff, brilliant...something very life affirming seeing all that energy and enthusiasm...and great twins :)

calbisu, that top one is a beautiful portrait.
(and you're not the first to see a coffin

love that diane...almost pinholey.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #6 on:** April 16, 2010, 03:29:45 PM »

Thanks vicky!

LT · « **Reply #7 on:** April 16, 2010, 04:36:32 PM »

all great so far. Calbisu - really nice pics.

here are a few from today's practice with the 4x5 down at Seasalter beach. Sadly, I got my timing wrong and the tide was out ... some strange wispyness in the sky - maybe volcanic ash?

Leon, might be the ash... but it looks terrific!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2010, 05:50:47 PM »

This has the smell of another killer thread!

Pdewolff - the first one I love, great colour.

Vicky - the expression 'like a duck to water' springs to mind!

Calbisu - I'm with Vicky, number one is great.

Diane - Great shot, the location is right up my street.

Leon - great as always. The one with the beach huts is my choice.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2010, 11:11:06 PM »

Leon..the last one..of the wee small buildings is so wonderful..it should be a postcard

Very nice thread so far, everyone. Here's one more, taken during a long afternoon of photographing with a friend at Sauvie Island (about 10 miles outside of Portland). The birds are couple of Osprey, guarding their nest of little ones. This was shot with a 1939 4x5 Speed Graphic and a circa 1867 f/8 12-inch Darlot lens. The film was Agfa Ultra 50, loaded into a Calumet 120/220 film holder. The lens was used at f/8, and the shutter speed was 1/350. Not too bad for hand-held and framing with the sports finder. (The image was focused on the ground glass before inserting the film holder...)

calbisu · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2010, 06:16:04 AM »

emdrray, not bad! I just started a thread about speed graphic camera asking people their feedback of the camera, and from what you told us it works nice handheld

Windy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:33:33 AM »

May already? What's happening to time this year?

roryot · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:36:23 AM »

This is a Holga with ~~Fuji~~ ~~Kodak~~, um, colour film. I tried to take pictures of colour subjects as it was colour film (I have mostly put b+w through the Holga). I do feel sometimes that taking pictures of graffiti is a bit like stealing!

Can't show the results as the film's not been processed - they would be particularly boring anyway - but I felt compelled to go out today and record what is probably a unique event in modern times, at least in the south of England.

Today we had a clear blue sky from horizon to horizon and there wasn't one aircraft vapour trail to spoil it

There had to some good come from that volcano.

I think this portrait is amazing... to me looks perfect and I'd say is a successful shot.

Here are a some taken with my Beirette Pinhole camera few days ago...

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:00:24 PM »

thank you Sapata! I really like that Rollei..when I first got it off ebay it was a mess ..had it repaired and now it is one of my favorite cameras! It always amazes me how 50 -60 year old cameras can be so wonderful! But then I only have one "new" camera..wouldn't know what to expect with a new camera of the Rollei quality!

tinm@n · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:17:28 PM »

Really liking those pinholes again - dammit that 1st one of Trafalger Sq has a real deep classic feel to it. Love pinhole London

Miller's 1st Polaroid also rockin' for me

The standard of uploads here in general recently has been superb all round. So much so I'm scared of adding my Polaroids which have been poorly "scanned" with a digital camera (accidentally left my scanner in Glasgow) and the colours therefore look crap

As usual much wonderfl stuff.

Thanks tinm@n... I only wish I had braketed this shot, it's a bit overexposured and when correcting on PS the vignettes appears much stronger to my taste.

This shot is brilliant ! very wide indeed...

Miller · « **Reply #27 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:54:17 PM »

Tinm@n post those pola's...

I too was especially pleased with the shot. A lot of the PX100 stuff I've seen is 'flat' and I wanted to see if I could get some latitude and contrast. I doubt I will improve on this shot in this respect so I will probably just get my coat now.

Wolf's 4th shot: I'm not here, I'm there...
Calbisu 4th shot: Got those tones again...
DP: I'm a sucker for a chair...
Phil: I'm intrigued by this project... I like it and I know not why...

I'll post a snap of it in the morning. Its still out in the darkroom and its raining cats and ash here.
Thanks for the comments though. Most of the other shots were over-exposed.

Two taken last week.

I'm still trying to get to grips with Rodinal.
These were taken using Tmax 100 at 100.
I used Rodinal nominally at 1:100 stand development for 60 mins.

The pigeon shot had me dig for an old Blue Note jazz album by Donald Byrd titled Free Form.

Google it for more inspiration on the theme.
