Is it really Friday and no weekend thread yet? That may be a first in recent times ;-))

Getting ready to go to Eastern Europe in a month to kick off a long talked about (but not yet acted on) project, taking some shots with the Plaubel Makina testing the results of different films - as that will be the primary camera for this trip. Here's a couple with Neopan.

Thus far with color film I haven't been terribly happy with the color separations in the darkroom using Portra NC & VC. Loading a roll of Ektar 100 as that's been a nice and reliable film for older lenses...

First stab at processing with lots of help from Leon.

Olympus Trip 35 for the scooter pic, the rest on the Chiaka 3 half frame and one with the lens taken off and helf around the other way. All Ilford FP4.

maybe this should be cross-posted with Foodwasters......

Cake, it's a weakness I have besides cameras!

Olympus XA with expired Kodak Gold 200
The cake was very good btw!

Beck, all of these are half eaten - I'm assuming you took the photo after you had been at them and with very sticky fingers?

LT · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2010, 01:38:18 PM »

Miles - really pleased they worked out ok.

all looking great so far.

I've got a rare contribution to this week's thread … some 5x4 sheets taken in various locations while I was on holiday a few weeks ago in Norfolk and then the Yorkshire Dales. It's the first time I've really had a good flex of my LF muscle … I'm really digging the quality and detail - highlight tones are just amazing (probably not to too evident in these small jpegs):

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:35:02 PM »

Totally awesome Leon. I know it's got nothing to do with the gear, but those images really make me keep my Fujica GW690!

thanks Urban

Leon, I especially love the one of the boat! but all are gorgeous!

Here is the best shot taken on my first roll with my new Supersampler. Probably the first real filmwasting camera I have. Since I don't really know what it's doing half the time, all I have to do it try and hope for the best

calbisu · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2010, 06:45:04 PM »

Miles, love that Vespa.

Leon, All shots look first class to me! Yes, tonal range looks amazing

OMG Leon these pics are gorgeous..!! The old boat it's amazing...

It's been more than a month since I've loaded my dark slides to use my Toyo but so far haven't found any inspiration to shot... yours are trully inspirational !

This weekend I tried stand developing a couple of rolls from my new Pentacon 6 (Thanks Diane). My friend Dan gave me advice and here's one of the results

thanks for the +ve comments people. It's been a while since I took anything that I was pleased with. Looks like LF was the correct way to go.

Terry - superb, now develop LOADS and LOADS more

Miller - greatly done as ever.

Francois - I really like the graphic randomology (neologism?) employed here

Longshadow · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2010, 09:38:48 PM »

Good evening

I have to say sorry for the late feedback and thanks for your nice words, but my workload and travelling is tremendous right now. Appologies.
Two old ones taken with my Nikon 801:

Thanks Leon... I like to think of it as deconstructivism

Breaking up the grid to better rebuild it

(and yes, the results came as a big surprise!)

Just one from me it's entitled 'closed due to vandalism' i just liked the colour and simplicity.

Cool stuff all round !

Leon - Those are soooooo sharp. The viaducts are amazing.

Terry · « **Reply #21 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:34:56 AM »

Leon,

I'm blown away by your LF stuff. I love the way it renders texture, especially the water under those sailboats and in the waterfall. Even in the low-res transfers I'm sure I can see the difference. What camera did you use?

LT · « **Reply #22 on:** July 26, 2010, 08:23:41 AM »

Thanks Terry - it's a shen hao field camera with a schneider symmar s lens. But this is only a part of the story - the film and developer used are just as important - in this case FP4+ in D 23. Then there's the realisation of the negative - which contrast grade to print at, which areas to dodge and burn to get the right interpretation etc.

All of this has a part to play in making the final print.

Long Shadow, that first one is fantastic, love that looooong building

Class filmwasting from everyone last weekend, well done.

The ones that REALLY stand out for me are Phil's, Leons, Francois' and pdewolff
from a bunch of great work as mentioned.

I seem to be always the last to post !

Holga 120 + first roll of Shanghai 100 dev'd in caffenol-c

I haven't posted for a while, much to my frustration. And what a very fine selection of images I find here as always. Inspiring. Here is one from Ratwick Bay on Hoy, Orkney, which will benefit from some darkroom time. This is a nasty scan with the weird scratch line but is work in progress and a post at least!

one more...this one from a Route 66 Festival this past weekend.
The guy in the wheelchair had spurs on his boots, which I found rather intriguing.

Leon - Great work - nice set!

Just to show I am not a collodion bore

Windy · « **Reply #31 on:** July 27, 2010, 11:08:18 PM »

Great stuff again this weekend, wonderful set from Leon. Really like the scooter too, Miles. Developed a roll of Rollei retro last night and messed up the Rodinal dilution only adding 1ml to 300ml water (doh). 1hr stand. Pleased with this kite flyer that I snapped through the car window whilst we were driving across the moor tho'

Miles · « **Reply #32 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:43:59 AM »

Cheers got a few more days till the Shanghai GP3 120 comes back from in the Toyocaflex with more Scooters ... (I know, I know ...). One from the last set that I'd lost on expired Side with a border Gimp'd on. Odd leaks at the bottom.

vicky slater · « **Reply #33 on:** July 28, 2010, 08:36:15 AM »

Leon, you're a star, you must be really pleased with them..couldn't be better.

calbisu, those white bales are weird, we've got some round here, bizarre.

This is one of an 18th c gilt belt i bought a few weeks ago..and one of snowy on the chair.taken on the hassy with 800z.
I'm waiting to get some b/w film back too so maybe more to post later.

formica · « **Reply #34 on:** July 28, 2010, 09:02:18 AM »

a few holga long exposure night shots. one is of my neighborhood shot from the storage space on the roof and the other is a water station featuring doraemon, spongebob and hello kitty. also a contact print from a paper negative. i had done pinhole shots out in the field this same day, but they all came out almost completely white. that's the problem with doing that sort of thing out in the field - if your exposures are way off you won't know until it's too late.

excellent stuff everyone, I am a bit of a fan of Leon's stuff so am partial to his post here, but like I said excellently done everyone, I may ven get near the scanner this week, I have about 10 recent rolls of 120 that have produced some interesting stuff.

hookstrapped · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:50:38 PM »

Really like the color night shots, formica
