now what is this alarming I hear about locked winder?

From what I read it's related to a particular capacitor that goes bad. I keep meaning to get one of my X700s fixed, but I do have so many other SLRs that keep me busy! And rangefinders, and box cameras, and old folders... -Jim

I understand what you're saying, jim. I understand and can relate

I'm glad to see so many posting shots! Thank you, paul, sandeha, jack, damiand, phil, lawrie, sean, britt, leon, nigel, miller and sapata!

definitely some classics here~ some new, some old, some avatars that are fun to see in a larger size~

on that note, I think I'll include a larger version of my avatar I'm using now. one of my first caffenol experiments~

How do you like your 635? I've just acquired one about a month ago and I've been able to get two rolls through it. I love it so much sometimes I want to sleep with it under my pillow!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #310 on:** December 31, 2012, 07:04:33 PM »

oh, it's a wonderful camera, christopher!
I really like how the controls are laid out on it -I can hold it in the palm of my left hand with each thumb for the shutter- and aperture dial and focus without a fuss with my right hand. lastly I fire off with one of my index fingers, from my left hand if it's a quickie or with my right hand for slower shutter speeds when I hold it to my chest.

ChristopherCoy · « **Reply #311 on:** January 13, 2013, 11:56:39 AM »

At Phil's suggestion...

My 2nd assignment for my 52 Roll project was self portraits. I've never done them, and certainly don't like them, but these turned out ok I guess. I'll revisit the self portrait later on in the year.

And this is one my my happy accidents.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #312 on:** January 13, 2013, 07:00:42 PM »

Excellent, Chris. The self portrait is always an interesting place to visit and this thread is the perfect place to dump them. Always good to see who we are talking to.

Found an old roll of film and got it souped along with my holiday pics

this was me explaining to a friend what a TLR is before destroying a fried breakfast....

Damion, I can see how your loyalties are divided here. I hope that you make the right choice and destroyed the breakfast?

Welcome Greg.

Lucky you don't live in the savannah, a darkcloth like that could be hazardous to your health

Hey, David. Welcome - you seem to have stumbled across the right place to be!

Greg Bartley · « **Reply #327 on:** February 20, 2013, 12:50:19 AM »

just to be clear I reserve my right to have whatever darkcloth distracts my subjects . Thank you for your warm welcome but now I shall also hunt darkcloths as well as images !

calbisu · « **Reply #328 on:** February 21, 2013, 10:22:00 AM »

That Darkcloth seems quite unorthodox indeed, Heresy? Do we auction now Greg`s camera or we wait a bit?

Klaus · « **Reply #329 on:** March 24, 2013, 05:20:49 PM »

Hi, new to the Filmwasters forum, so a quick self-portrait. Dabble with film on and off, do digital mainly.
Just recently obtained an Olympus Trip 35 from the Freegle email list. Warranty card dated 1979! Works fine.
I used Kodacolour 400CN C41, the first roll tried with this camera. Had a few frames left but it rained so just sitting in the car and pointing in various directions .... developed and scanned by the AG Lab.

Francois · « **Reply #330 on:** March 24, 2013, 06:21:21 PM »

Welcome Klaus!

You'll see, the lens on the Trip35 will simply blow you away.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #331 on:** March 26, 2013, 06:49:39 AM »

and it exposes well too! good shot (and camera) you've got there, klaus

Photo_Utopia · « **Reply #332 on:** March 26, 2013, 12:54:51 PM »

I haven't posted an image of me yet... because so few exist – I found one really old one so...
This is one of me in the mid 1980's

Greg Bartley · « **Reply #333 on:** March 26, 2013, 02:35:51 PM »

And for those that were questioning the second tripod here's an action pic !

Welcome Greg! I very much enjoyed your website..."The Beaters" being my favorite collection. Those are incredible images.

Greg Bartley · « **Reply #341 on:** April 01, 2013, 05:42:39 PM »

many thanks Diane, the beaters series was great to do , this year I was a beater so it was a great way of keeping fit over the winter ! All shot on 8x10 C41, processed in my Jobo.

Hello everyone. Long time lurker.... new poster. I used to develop all my own 35mm b/w, and might end up giving it a go again. This site is full of great info about it, and I'm having a lot of fun researching the cafenol tricks and tips.

Here's an old T-max shot. Nikon FTN 50mm 1.4.

Cheers.

Thanks guys. And no, not abandoned. Just hasn't been used in a long, long time.

Hi All,
Have been posting for a while but realised never really introduced myself, how rude? Sorry.
So, whilst on a recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales and following an early morning due to insomnia, I ventured down to a nearby fall but the sun rose and caused some contrast issues. I decided to have a coffee, taking in the sights and sounds of one of my favourite waterfalls. Then it hit me, I decided to take a self portrait with this thread in mind as I needed to come out of the closet so to speak.

So here's me, hate having my photo taken, but was a karma moment and sums me up.

Holga pan pinhole.

limr · « **Reply #349 on:** May 13, 2013, 03:01:19 AM »

Hello everyone. I'm Leonore and I'm new here. I was first introduced to the forum this year via Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. My boyfriend (02Pilot) built a pinhole camera to participate and I tagged along with my Lubitel 166B TLR and Olympus 35RC.

I've been shooting film off and on for 20 years - not a profession but a lifelong hobby - starting with the Pentax K100o I bought myself as a college graduation present in 1992 (yes, I just gave my advancing age away...). Since then I've expanded my equipment inventory. I do mainly 35mm, but also have quite fallen in love with medium format. My latest project is my father's 1965 Polaroid Land Camera Automatic 100. My great shame is that I haven't yet learned to develop my own film. That, however, should finally be rectified this summer.

Here's my 'selfie'.

I'm doing a Project 365 (a picture a day for a year) at http://moderndinosaur.wordpress.com. For that project, digital is a necessary evil, so I do resort to the Canon SX130 IS, but film is my real love, so I try to feature it as much as possible.
