Hasselblad SWC shot in Texas earlier this year.

Awesome shot! Whereabouts in Texas was that taken? I'm always looking for "new" old spots to photograph.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #2 on:** August 28, 2010, 07:48:36 PM »

Encino, north of Alice on US 281

DS · « **Reply #3 on:** August 28, 2010, 08:30:44 PM »

Phil- that is a quality shot.

Scanning at the moment- an old one from the spring:

(Pentacon 6, HP5+)

Phil, saw your image on Flickr. Love it!! I love the angle you chose. All those creeping vines on the pump really add drama to the image and tell a story of a long neglected building.

My shot was taken yesterday at Llano del Rio. This place is about 10 mins away from where I live and I always knew it was a failed socialist colony, but I had no idea that it was billed as the most significant non-religious colony in U.S. history until I dug a little deeper after taking the pix.

This is a Holgaroid Fuji 100C bleach washed neg converted to black and white. Interesting thing about these negatives. I left that thing sitting in a batch of fixer for a few hours. Forgot about it completely. Pulled it out of the tank and the image was totally gone. Figured oh well and just set it on the counter to get back to work. Went back later and the image reappeared. Bizarre. I had no idea how that happened but I bet somebody here does. The image Im posting here was made prior to the fixer bath.

I'm still going through my photos from Cornwall. Here's one I scanned last night of Amy throwing a monumental 5 year old strop at Duckpool beach. Polaroid Land Camera + expired 125i film. Print stained in coffee.

Mojave: I do like your Holgaroid a lot. I've spent a few hours on and off today (mostly off due to parental duties!) playing around reclaiming negs from a batch of FP-100C45 film that I shot in Cornwall. The bleaching's the easy bit. The hard bit is removing the baked-on goop.

Mojave · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2010, 09:31:38 PM »

Thank you so much Ed! Im diggin' your image too. I remember this from the print. I think the image you posted before was the print anyway. This is awesome. I love how you stained it in coffee. And it looks like an emulsion transfer.

What is the baked on goop? Is it the stuff Im thinking is the emulsion? The stuff that gets soft and gooey when you soak the neg in water? I dont really know what these negatives are made of so I apologize if Im getting the names of things messed up.

Mojave · « **Reply #7 on:** August 28, 2010, 09:32:57 PM »

Cool shot DS. Love the light and shadow contrast. What is going on in the image? Im very curious about that.

Yeah I guess it's technically called the emulsion in this case. Francois will know

Anyway, if you leave it on for a few weeks without soaking it off it becomes pretty hard to shift.

Mojave · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2010, 10:06:37 PM »

Oh, gotcha!!! Makes sense. I suppose its even worse if you leave it in your car for two weeks in the middle of summer. Then its really baked on.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2010, 10:52:33 PM »

DS and Mojave, thank you. Mojave, is that Del Rio, TX? I was there on the same trip!

calbisu · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2010, 10:57:00 PM »

This weekend thread starts with lots of strenght! I specially liked the ones from DS and MOjave. Fantastic composition and mood. From my side two with the Pentax 67 with the extension ring, keep playing with portraits and friends

I think you're talking about the reagent compound used to develop and fix at the same time. The stuff is a nice jelly like texture when fresh and hardens to rock hard when completely dry.

If it lifts with the image when soaked, then it's the gelatin used to hold the silver halides

LT · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2010, 11:18:49 PM »

Calbisu - these are stunning. Really, really strong.

Mojave · « **Reply #14 on:** August 28, 2010, 11:57:30 PM »

Love the portraits Calbisu! I didnt see the other one, the one of the woman. Her eyes are just as stunning as the mans blue eyes. Wonderful!!!

And thank you Francois!!! I understand. Can you tell me why the image would totally fade away to nothing in a fixer bath and then come back later when the film dried? I had no idea such a thing could happen.

Artsyken · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2010, 01:37:18 AM »

Fantastic images here! Went out with some friends and found an abandoned hotel near a hot spring town.

Blaxton · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2010, 04:28:39 AM »

Last night, I finished developing the rolls of Tri-X exposed in my Canonet G-III while in Portugal these last many months. Here are three views of the hippest restaurant in Lisboa--housed in a circus school!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2010, 07:32:13 AM »

Calbisu, great work.

Windy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2010, 08:32:21 AM »

Wonderful shots again this weekend.

Developed and scanned these from my recent Bristol trip yesterday. Legacy Pro developed in aculux taken on the OM10.

Had coffee with Andrea yesterday morning and discussed my 'need' for a darkroom so that I can do things like this in a natural way.

calbisu · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2010, 09:43:32 AM »

Blaxton, love the comp in your second one, dynamic.

Totally Agree!

And good work from all as usual.

We took a trip into Galway City yesterday, the weather was nice
and the atmosphere was good as usual!!

Balda Baldixette + Fomapan 200 + Caffenol-C

Mojave · « **Reply #22 on:** August 29, 2010, 04:11:07 PM »

Hey Phil, its southern California on the very edge of the western part of the Mojave desert. I would love to go to Texas. I drove through it once but thats it so far. I really need to start traveling.

Love all the new images. Such a wide variety of styles and processes. I sure wish I could find the ingredients for Caffinol C but they just dont sell soda wash and powdered vitamin c around here.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #23 on:** August 29, 2010, 04:13:42 PM »

Erin, gottcha! Still, you live in amazing part of the world.

Mojave · « **Reply #24 on:** August 29, 2010, 04:20:30 PM »

Thank you Phil! I feel very blessed to be living here. I moved from Huntington Beach about 5 years ago and even though everybody looks at me like I just sprouted a horn from my forehead when I tell them that, I wouldnt change it. This place and the wildlife is what inspired me to start shooting again. Got some well meaning but bad advice from a parent when I was a teenager and gave up photography for about 25 years.

sapata · « **Reply #25 on:** August 29, 2010, 05:59:16 PM »

Wonderful stuff in here as usual...!
Phil shot is fantastic as well calbisu portraits...

Aoluain... great shots as well, you've got the right moment when the guys couldn't help staring at the pretty girl...

Mojave ...if you want to pm me I can get you what you need for the caffenol developing..and I am only a few states away!

original_ann · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2010, 01:14:52 AM »

Absolutely gorgeous stuff here! Calbisu, those portraits are astoundingly beautiful - such eyes!!

Blaxton · « **Reply #30 on:** August 30, 2010, 02:01:37 AM »

I can't say exactly why but the photos in this thread stand out, in my eye, as being especially interesting. I really enjoy Phil's weedy gas pump and Windy's Bristol pub.

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston last week to see two photo exhibits. There is a large show of Richard Avedon's fashion photography and a smaller, more intimate (and to me, more pleasing) exhibit of Nicholas Nixon's family pictures, including all 34 of the Brown sisters group portraits (in 8x10 contact prints).

Wandering to and from the train station in Boston I made these pictures with my Canonet G-III on Tri-X developed in Xtol.

LT · « **Reply #31 on:** August 30, 2010, 09:30:14 AM »

Blaxton - that fountain pic is something quite special.

Mike (happyforest) · « **Reply #32 on:** August 30, 2010, 11:32:34 AM »

Again another wonderful set of pictures here.

These are taken with OM2n on APX400S developed in Rodinal 1:50.

These are three sister. Oldest, Youngest and the betweenie

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2010, 12:06:32 PM »

What a great weekend! I've finally got back the roll of Ilford Delta 3200 I shot for the Noise collaboration. I actually developed the wrong roll back then

This shot might have been my contribution.

calbisu · « **Reply #34 on:** August 30, 2010, 02:22:10 PM »

Thank you ALL for your nice comments; in the struggle towards photography there are scarce moments of peace

ups-downs like a Roller Coaster!!!!!

calbisu · « **Reply #35 on:** August 30, 2010, 02:23:11 PM »

Mr. Urban, that would certainly have been an ideal candidate for Noise collaboration! ; )

Andrea. · « **Reply #36 on:** August 30, 2010, 03:27:11 PM »

Kodak Brownie twin20. re-spooled Vericolor film.
Slight P.S.

As I speak, one of the Lewis Photgraphica clan is bobbing around in the Minch in this little red boat going from Ness [Isle of Lewis] to Stromness [Orkney] with some others. Should take about 30 hours apparently - and the weather is set perfect at the moment!

Nigel · « **Reply #37 on:** August 30, 2010, 03:28:48 PM »

I've been busy and almost caught up on my scanning!

Both from a walk around Soho (London).

Francois · « **Reply #38 on:** August 30, 2010, 04:47:05 PM »

After a long time without shooting, last night, I finished both a pack of Pola 600 and a pack of Instax.
I went near the river and drove to the seaway's locks. It was incredibly peaceful...

Mojave · « **Reply #39 on:** August 30, 2010, 04:51:07 PM »

What a treat to come back to this thread and see so many awesome shots!!! I love this forum!

loloholmes · « **Reply #40 on:** August 30, 2010, 06:41:40 PM »

I shot this on Saturday while on an epic 3 hour walk discovering parts of my city is didn't know existed!

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #41 on:** August 30, 2010, 06:43:41 PM »

And the last roll from my Fujca GW690. The lens is super sharp, but at 1.4kg this camera is just too heavy for me. Maybe I need to get a 6x9 folder one day ...

Urban

calbisu · « **Reply #42 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:24:15 PM »

Francois, all of your images look just great!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #43 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:35:18 PM »

Hasselblad 501cm and Fuji 160c

Phil - that picture is great or so many reasons.

Holy cow, those colors are incredible!!!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #47 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:47:10 PM »

Thank you, Erin. It is an abandoned pharmacy that I have been re-visiting for a few years. It's great to see how these places evolve.

Late Developer · « **Reply #48 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:50:30 PM »

Just spent the middle of the afternoon running a few rolls of Fuji BW400CN through the 500 c/m down at Shoeburyness (the extreme eastern end of Southend-on-Sea, Essex where the Thames estuary finally becomes the North Sea.)

I'll be popping the films in for processing tomorrow before departing for Manchester (back late Thursday evening). So, assuming I remember, I'l have some film to scan and "mess with" before posting at the weekend.

Late Developer · « **Reply #49 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:52:36 PM »

@ Phil.

Love the photo of the Greek flag and room. Glorious colours.
