starting off the weekend thread. Here's a shot I take almost every weekday. She sits just outside the downtown post office in Seattle, where I get off my bus en route to work. I must have close to 200 shots of her. This week, for the 1st time in 2 years I saw her face as a windstorm blew her blanket off her head...

What a strong start to the Halloween weekend!!

Sean – love the dog’s eye view of the paw prints is my fave!

Miller – sweet fancy moses, that first one is absolute bliss!!!!!

Phil – nothing like old-timey gas pumps. Love your style!

Suzi – that hand in the ‘hole’ (…or is that a mirror?) – makes it!

Ann, it's a hole in wall filled with plastic mannequin hands.. this place.. http://www.cryptgallery.org.uk/ my friends Ella & Sue recently had an exhibition in there which worked perfectly with the crypt and original Victorian headstones. Great place.

Strong start indeed - love the washed out polars, Mooninsean's Chair and Gregor's lady friend - but hey Gregor , does this mean that you don't take your camera out with you when the wind blows? Shame on you!

This pic does it for me due to the texture of the building and the pavement... It looks like an image transfer with muted colours...

I got this back from the lab yesterday

roadtoelsewhere

Fujichrome 100 made on my Minolta SRT102 back when the sun was still around.

Why do slides look so weak when they are scanned but amazing otherwise? It's a shame. I only have an Epson v300, so I don't expect miracles but...

Lino · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:29:23 AM »

Hey miller, really liking those polaroids.

Here are a few shots that i've recently scaned from my first ever home developed film.
I used caffenol-c. Weird crops are courtesy of cheap lab scan.

I do indeed. But imagine in two years she has never shown her face except through a windstorm that was beyond her control. I didn't shoot her that day. It seemed disrespectful to take a photo of her in alarm & dismay as her 'cover' was taken away by wind....

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2010, 09:22:12 AM »

Some excellent images as usual but keep going back to Millers Polaroids, the first one really burns my burgers

hookstrapped · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2010, 12:52:36 PM »

Miller -- beautiful stuff

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #20 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:22:30 PM »

Miller, beautiful stuff indeed!
and thank you! in regards the image from the Olympus pen..never know if I should just shoot on the "automatic" with this little guy or try to set my f-stop etc..I think the shots really come out much better with the automatic..other things may be way off given the age of the camera..I really like the way these came out..several more from this roll at http://dianemartinpeterson.com if you would like to take a look!A friend gave me this camera as she had it for a long time and was going to toss it away..I am so glad I was made a gift of it!

sapata · « **Reply #21 on:** October 30, 2010, 06:46:55 PM »

I have nothing to post this weekend but it's been a joy to check this thread... Really cool work everyone !

Late Developer · « **Reply #22 on:** October 30, 2010, 06:55:33 PM »

I've only been here a few weeks and I am just amazed by the quality and diversity of the images. Probably the best weekend thread so far - but so many good ones even in the time I've been around:

Gregor's homeless lady is sensitively done and a damning indictment of the so-called developed world in the 21st century.

Sean's dog’s eye view is excellent - a real new perspective

Miller's Polaroids are gorgeous. The boat is my fave.

Phil's petrol pumps are a real look back through time

Suzi's "halloween" shot is just plain disturbing

Anyway, I didn't think I'd have anything to post this week - but I've just got a few rolls of my holiday snaps back from the lab and I'm sort of pleased with most of them. I've only done a few proper scans so far but I quite like what's coming out.

The film used is Fuji Acros 100 (exposed at 100) but I've had a bit of a play in Lightroom to bring out more detail in the sky and I've added a bit of a tone to it. I'm really starting to get into this hybrid workflow.....

There are some very artistic entries on this topic but mine's not one on them.

cwilk: great group shot. What is he talking about?

Here are two made with my Rolleiflex on tri-x developed in xtol.

One final one from me for this weekend. I never cease to be amazed at the creativity of the photographers on this website. My only hope is that I can live up to the standards. Seriously, I love the stuff on here:

jojonas~ · « **Reply #26 on:** October 31, 2010, 12:19:13 AM »

phew! long day but got stuff done, had fun and hey! just got another hour on the clock

too messed up to comment on everyones wonderfull shots here so I'll just post mine

went for a walk with a friend with one tlr each in our hands, getting him into practise with using film again. had lots of fun and even managed to develop the roll and scan in this evening! I love when I can do that~

these were shot with my yashica 635 lucky(?) 100 film and a lot of stride. have a nice one, all of you! I'm gonna take another look over the shots here before I hit the sack. thanks for sharing

Excellent colour and feel, especially the pic titled 'Healthfood'.... What film....?

Wblati... I'm not really a landscape b/w kind of guy but sooo much 'real' atmosphere in the second shot.
