Well, seeing as how I took the forum down for 24 hours over the start of the weekend, the least I can do is crack up this week's 'weekend' thread. I was out taking some 5x4 portraits this morning so I'll post any good ones later...but for now I'll leave it to you lot to provide the images. I'm going to jump in the paddling pool and drink beer. It's been a long day.

Scanning photos from a recent outing. The first image is from an Ilford Sporti and the last two from my Mamiya 645 Super.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #2 on:** July 10, 2010, 06:44:30 PM »

A couple from this week's processing. Both on the Hasselblad swc

Congrats on a job well done with the new 'upgrade'.

Here's my contribution for the w/e. Shot this on an old Kiev Rf that won't rewind so I have to take the film out in a changing bag. Still, works ok otherwise. I thought I had some 100asa film in the thing but when I looked at the leader I could see it was Kodak Fine Grained Positive - which has an asa of about 5. So, developed the thing in print developer for 4 mins and got some nice results!

BAH! Just realised I was logged on with our test account when I posted this. Sorry for the confusion.

---------------------

Looking good, Miles. Really interesting double image/shake on the left. I like.

I finally managed to get a portrait out of Amy today. Her price was one lollipop per photo. Tachihara 5x4 with expired Polaroid Type 72 film. Goop scan.

calbisu · « **Reply #7 on:** July 11, 2010, 02:18:50 AM »

Nice one Ed, The lollipop worked!
Phil like those rampants colors.

From my side two with the Pentax 67, ISO 3200 ilford, I went to a party and brought with me the peeentax. At the end it was not so bad, I ligthmetered the three different lighted areas and then shot with the waist level finder. The other one is a POlaroid 669 in the studio

Miller · « **Reply #8 on:** July 11, 2010, 07:38:04 AM »

@ Otto- Nice first shot, reminds me of the beautifully photographed Robert Redford/Brad Pitt movie A River Runs Through It.

An oldie but as the World Cup final beckons (going orange) I thought appropriate.

Miles · « **Reply #9 on:** July 11, 2010, 08:55:33 AM »

Ed - Amy's sunglasses make her the 50's starlett she knows she is

Otto -I love the woman in the chair, rthe contrast and colour, reminds me of the two 70's Phote books I got at the Hospice Fete yesterday, John Hedgecoe's and "The Camera Book" !

Becky, another great one. I just love those black skies with infrared.

I'm gradually getting the hang of it!

Glad to see someone else using an Ilford Sporti

Don't really have anything to show for this weekend, oh well.

My mom kept bugging me to take a picture of me with the old Polaroid... Somehow, I feel the warm weather was more tolerable with a popsicle. (and no, it wasn't bribery!)

Longshadow · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2010, 09:40:29 PM »

Dear all,

I am a newby on your side. So I want to introduce myself. I come via "Wiesmier`s photostream" on flickr. I suppose it´s Andrea....
I´m an old chap, that started with a Kodak Instamatic more or less 40 years ago....
After a long time shooting with a Zeiss Ikon, a couple of Nikons, an OM 4, I ended with a D 200 and three
old Rollei´s (Rolleicord, Rolleiflex 3.5 and a Rolleiflex 6008). After a prolaps I faced problems to handle the Rollei`s and decided to buy a second hand Mamiya 7 II with a 65mm lens.

Status today: The Mamiya could be the love of my life, the 6008 is in hospital right now, the OM 4 recovered from serious traumata...and for the Polaback of the 6008 a bunch of Impossible project items arrived.

I learn everyday from your photographs and the three trailers have been my nightcap over the last weeks.

Many thanks to you all!!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #21 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:53:03 PM »

Longshadow...welcome to Filmwasters. Thanks for the introduction and for posting such lovely opening photos to the forum. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Becky: I echo others' sentiments w/ regard to the infrared pinhole. Lovely, lovely, lovely. It has a movement to it which is something I often look for in a good photo.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #22 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:59:41 PM »

Longshadow, welcome and climb aboard. As far as I can tell only a few bite here

Great photos.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2010, 12:03:42 AM »

Hasselblad swc & Kodak 160VC (I do use other cameras, I promise!)

Miles · « **Reply #24 on:** July 12, 2010, 12:23:46 AM »

Longshadow Building Pic, very nice Chum ...

otto k · « **Reply #25 on:** July 12, 2010, 12:46:23 AM »

Love the image, Becky. Diane, did you buy any cameras at the store?

Two more from this weekend's work on scanned in negatives. Both from my Mamiya 645 Super.

calbisu · « **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2010, 01:23:48 AM »

Welcome Longshadow!

More piiics from my side. Yesterday some friends came home and I shot few polas. The Px 100 silver shade... with the SX 70

gregor · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2010, 05:47:27 AM »

just messin' with multiple exposures on the hassy & was amazed the main subject was stationary for 4+ exposures (forgot to take my lens hood when I left the house). And yes, I emptied out my pocket change to give him some food money....

Nigel · « **Reply #28 on:** July 12, 2010, 08:37:33 AM »

Some more great stuff this week. Ed I love the portrait of Amy, that's summer wrapped up in one shot.
Calbisu, your first shot is a beauty - for me it has a touch of Butch Cassidy about it!

Here are a couple with my, current favourite, Lubitel 166U.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #29 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:12:38 PM »

Otto! I buy cameras there all the time..the great thing thats happening right now is that the owner is getting a hugh lot of cameras in (not unpacked yet) and saving them so I can look before she even puts them out..and she lets me decide what I want to pay for them..I have purchased about 8 Kodak Brownie Hawkeys & 3 Brownie Bulls Eye... from her and several other vintage cameras..can't wait til Thursday to be able to check them out! will report back....:<)

otto k · « **Reply #30 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:13:49 PM »

Diane, lucky, lucky you!! I'm jealous.

CarlRadford · « **Reply #31 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:26:16 PM »

A few more the last couple of days.

astrobeck · « **Reply #32 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:02:37 PM »

Longshadow-that crimson red in those flowers is exquisite!

Carl- the portrait of the last lady reminds me of Kristin Chenowith (sp) I love them all.

All this portrait work is wonderful. And who can resist a lollipop or Popsicle?? It has given me ideas for bribes in the future.....

sapata · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2010, 06:50:19 PM »

Carl... great portraits as usual, the last one is my favourite

Nigel, what an inexpensive way (unless you bought from the lomography...

) of getting sharp images! The lomo lens is gorgeous and it's hard to believe that it comes in that cheap plastic body... Do you have hard time focusing the image ? I have one of those and it's hell...
Anyway... your pictures are amazing !

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #34 on:** July 12, 2010, 07:39:55 PM »

Carl, you are killing me with these - wonderful.

Harvey · « **Reply #35 on:** July 12, 2010, 08:37:44 PM »

A couple more Infrared from me this weekend. I've already put some into the Infrared??? thread but in order to share the love around...! May have gone a bit too far with these exposure wise. "Soot and Whitewash" as Father would say but I guess it's all down to personal preference

Something different next week I promise!

sapata · « **Reply #36 on:** July 12, 2010, 08:40:50 PM »

Phil...your Hasselblad pictures are fantastic ! totally my cup (or as we say in Brazil, "it's my beach"

)

Quote from: Phil Bebbington on July 12, 2010, 12:03:42 AM

Hasselblad swc & Kodak 160VC (I do use other cameras, I promise!)

I guess it must be hard to leave such wonderful camera at home

...

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #37 on:** July 12, 2010, 10:24:52 PM »

Sapata, I never leave her at home! Perhaps I ought to!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #38 on:** July 12, 2010, 10:39:52 PM »

A very strong showing this weekend, people. Props to you all. But then, pretty much every weekend has brought something worth looking at in this thread since Skorj started the ball rolling with these semi-themed posts a couple of years ago.

Sapata, I had the same thought about Nigel's Lubitel photos; super sharp. He must have got the one decent Lubi

Miller: I really like your footy pitch shot. It says 'South London' to me, but it could have been shot anywhere I suppose. Shame about the Orange. I started out that way prior to kick off, but it was close-run thing because I have some Spanish allegiances too and after about 5 minutes of the game I switched. Thought the Dutch had been lucky towards the end of the Brazil game re not getting anyone sent off & they were worse against the Armada.

Carl: I love your contribution as always, but like others here the last one in particular stands out. The eyes and the hair. Lovely.

calbisu · « **Reply #39 on:** July 12, 2010, 11:20:17 PM »

Harvey, keep on with the infrared! they look really fantastic

Hookstrapped - great image!

gregor · « **Reply #45 on:** July 14, 2010, 04:47:19 AM »

Ed, love the 4x5s you've been doing lately. Gets me excited about some 664 that's on it's way (my fave gooping film).

Carl, Beautiful. Longshadow, I'm amazed that a 1700 pixel wide color photo can be reduced to 39KB. You'll do just fine around these parts. Overall a great weekend thread.

Just getting around to scanning some 665 taken with the hassy. Wash & fix? nah..... don't believe in either!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #46 on:** July 14, 2010, 12:17:20 PM »

Diane, that car is wonderful! Are you sure he isn't buying them just for you to photograph?

Carl, another beauty, love it!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #47 on:** July 14, 2010, 03:33:39 PM »

Phil, he as actually had that car for over 15 years..longer than he has "had" me..but just delivered to our property..so the first time I am seeing it! It has potential!

Francois · « **Reply #48 on:** July 14, 2010, 03:50:40 PM »

Plymouth Fury... the type of car that somehow brings out the testosterone in men and turns them into grunting apes

Is yours a push button transmission?
