Topic: Weekend thread - early Thanksgiving edition, Nov 25 - 29

[hookstrapped]

One big reason I'm giving thanks today.  Found a new model and... yup.

[astrobeck]

wow, she reminds me of Audry Hepburn a bit.

Here's mine for the early weekend and long holiday...
My pinhole camera, a custom made beauty from Randy over at Holgamods, and a pinhole shot of fruit salad from today's meal.

enjoy!

[Patrick]

A few photos using my Vivitar IC101 "Faux Panorama" camera shot on expired Reala 100

[Heather]

Ooh pretty model. Nice to see someone new

Now I got the slides/cyanotypes out of the way, i shall post colour stuff I got back from the lab.


A single book shelf


Bleigeissen


Bleigeissen at Wellcome Trust


I have too many, i shall stop now.

[Phil Bebbington]

Hasselblad 501cm on Fuji 160c. Shot in a  derelict hotel in Crete.

[Late Developer]

Hookstrapped - you can't half pick 'em! Gorgeous model and the top photo does have more than a touch of the Audrey Hepburn about it. Beautiful work.

Astrobeck - love the salad. I must get round to changing my unhealthy diet and this is the sort of incentive I need...

Pyran9 - Love the panoramas. Difficult to choose a fave - but the bottom one is a neck ahead in my eyes

Heather - I am clueless as to what a Bleigeissen is but the second shot is a wee cracker. Love the colours.

Phil - speaking of colours - this has quality smeared thick all over it. How many derelict hotels are there in Crete and which tour operator keeps sending you there?

Here's my feeble effort (for now). Hasselblad 500c/m with Distagon 60mm f3.5 and Fuji Acros 100.

Hope to post more tomorrow - taken with a new toy....

Two beauties there Peter....but the second one is just awesome. More Ridgeway?

Very, very nice indeed.

[Ed Wenn]

Uh, wow! That's quite an opening, 'Wasters!

Mr Angry....that's a damn fine country lane at dusk. Top of the class!  

Pyran9: I love the colour palette from those Vivitar panos. Extraordinary.

Becky: I'm all about the pinhole these days and have been shooting a lot of 5x4 through my Tachihara. I love the way your new pinhole camera looks.

My own effort (even though it's Thursday evening here in the UK so this normally wouldn't feel right, except I've spent the last few hours thinking it was Friday until Jacqui set me straight!) was taken in August, but I forgot about it until now. A huge sea rescue helicopter flew low over the beach we were on in Cornwall and I managed to grab this snap using my Land Cam 360 and some Polacolor 125i film + the usual stain.



Bigger here.

[Urban Hafner]

More food shots from me soon. But for now let's start with spices. Shot with my Minolta X-300 and the 100mm f/4 wide open on Fuji Pro 400H. I forgot how shallow the DOF really is so only a few shots came out OK.

[WalterE]

A wonderful Thanksgiving morning with my wife, step son, and youngest daughter, who was on her college Thanksgiving break. This picture is of her at 2 yrs. old.

[Phil Bebbington]

Hasselblad swc on Fuji 160c

[Pete_R]

More Ridgeway?

Yes, more from the Ridgeway. Forgot to put a description. Duh!

[Suzi Livingstone]

happy thanksgiving American cousins 

am just gonna go through all of these lovely photos before i post something later

[Phil Bebbington]

Great stuff from all. Sean, I love the mood you capture with your Polas.

[Ed Wenn]

Great stuff from all. Sean, I love the mood you capture with your Polas.

Wot he said. Love the car photo.

Walter E: You're making me well up  What a gorgeous photo of your now-grown-up daughter. My kids are 3 and 5 and growing up quickly. Seeing your photo has filled me with lots of different emotions. The power of photography! 

[Urban Hafner]

Great stuff as always Peter!

Urban

[Suzi Livingstone]

Wow, these are all so good.

I'm having a terrible morning so these images are cheering me up immensely.

PS Urban Haf - your photos are making me hungry 

[Suzi Livingstone]

Nothing really new from me this week as I'm in middle of new stuff - so a couple of portraits of two of my friends. Both Holga shots.

[vicky slater]

hookstrapped, beautiful model, lucky lucky you!

heather, i like your single bookshelf :)

phil, i DREAM of derelict hotels..really!!!
(laughed at LD's response)

anyway, good work everyone.
(suzi, you have great looking friends btw)

here's one of snowy and one of harri.
i converted snows to b/w on flickr but i think i prefer the original colour version.
hassy 800z

[Suzi Livingstone]

(suzi, you have great looking friends btw)

Thanks, heh  

PS LOVE your second shot, that could be a Xmas card!

[Phil Bebbington]

Urban, I love your food shots!

Suzi, I particularly like the first one

Vicky, great work as always. Love the shot of Snowy. As soon as I locate a derelict hotel here with access I'll be on the phone to you.

[Suzi Livingstone]

Suzi, I particularly like the first one

Thanks Phil, that was taken on the grand staircase in St Pancras Chambers - formerly the old Midland Grand Hotel.

[hookstrapped]

pryan9 -- love those pics.  I really like the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, but I think I might need to get one of these IC101's.

[Urban Hafner]

Urban, I love your food shots!

Thanks Phil! Comments like this keep me going, especially on days like this.

Urban

[gregor]

some pola 655 from mid-week. we had our 1st snowfall of the year: 4 inches, which - in Seattle - was enough to close schools & many businesses for 3 days....

[Late Developer]

Here's a few taken on XP2 400 using a Voigtlander Perkeo I with Color Skopar f3.5 (wide open at 1/25th)

I'd just come out of a "Climate Change" seminar being held at the Willis Building next to Lloyd's and needed to de-bug my head.....

[Mike (happyforest)]

Hookstrapped.  As everybody else has said, she is a lovely model and these are great photos'

Peter. I was wondering when we would see more of your Ridgeway photos.  This is a lovely series.  Must book mark your Ridgeway site.

Phil.  These wouldn't be abandoned containers in Crete by any chance?

Urban, Didn't one of the members here set up a food site, foodwasters or something like that?  These lovely images.  I remember reading a article in a photo magazine where a food photographer was showing how he got his images for advertisements etc.  Shaving foam on beer and other such tricks. Generally it semed that in most of the photos some alternative product or other was used to highlight a foods attribute.

Suzi Love the one of the boy in the bath. (Sorry Suzi and thanks for the correction.)

Lovely set of images all round.

Mike

[Francois]

OK, finally got my film back!
Here are a few of the pictures, all shot near the autoroute (highway/freeway for most people).
With all the construction and the traffic, getting to those places on foot was pretty scary...

[Phil Bebbington]

Gregor, lovely work

LD, I’m digging yours very much!

Francois, that last one is great!

[hookstrapped]

same model, Gakkenflex

[gregor]

Thanks Phil. I got one more out of this recent snowfall that I'm partial to.  A few, overexposed, leaned toward solarization.  A couple of those I liked but many the solarization 'got in the way.'

[stevesegz]

Wow, some great stuff by all this weekend! Everything top notch! Some really fresh creative imagery. Well done all. 

[calbisu]

Mmhh, grrreat wekend..

Hookstrapped, new model, looking good..
Gregors Tree,
Vicky´s that dog is a great performer : )
Sean´s car, which makes me willing to shoot again with shallow depth of field with the Polaroid..
PHil nigh shot with those great colorful containers..
Pryan fantastic and crispy panoramic shots..

From my side more from the Canon A1 and the 28mm, the second one are few girls shooting a smiley Alma which I was holding in a backpack in front of me : ) the first one is a building´s lobby with a peculiar Christmas decoration

[Alan]

We have a European Market here in Galway City
for 3 weeks, lots of food and ware from different countries
in Europe!

i didnt go for the Osterich Burgers meself ! 

Flexaret Va + Ilford FP4 + Caffenol-C.

[Suzi Livingstone]

Suzi Love the one of the girl in the bath.

Thanks, boy not girl! 

[Terry]

More wonderful stuff in this thread.  Some great people shots, and I think Late Developer is channeling the ghost of Fritz Lang.

I went for a walk in the woods Thursday:

[mikeg]

Some great images as usual. I love Ed's Sea King helicopter image, the staining really sets it off.

I know summer's a long way off here in England, but here's a few more scarecrow shots. Holga and Kodak Portra 400VC.

I don't think I can do that for my images as my wife and me actually want to eat the food afterwards But I've heard of that stuff, too. Not my cup of tea though.

[Andrea.]

Snap from a couple of weeks ago when the sun shone and it was warmer. On the island of Great Bernera is this wonderful wall that snakes across the landscape. Can never seem to pass without snapping it. This was that day's snap. Hasselblad 50mm lens. HP5 @800 Rodinal

[hookstrapped]

Late Developer -- when I scrolled quickly down the page here and went past your first pic I felt like I was in a movie, looking up at the skyline from a convertible speeding along the streets.  Very cool.

Thanks Hookstrapped. Glad you like my snaps. I've always wanted a good quality pocketable 120 folder and I've just acquired a Voigtlander Perkeo I. The pics are from the very first roll of film I put through it (more as a test than anything) and I just made an educated guess at the exposure.

Terry also seems to think I'm a conduit for the continuing exploits of Fritz Lang. Mind you, working in the City of London does share more than a hint of certain scenes from "Metropolis"....

[Patrick]

A few more from the vivitar IC 101 on expired Reala

[Blaxton]

I brought my Rolleiflex loaded with Tri-X to see the new American wing of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston last weekend.

[hookstrapped]

one more, same model

she has a lot of different looks, which is one reason I'm excited to work with her

[Photo_Utopia]

Hookstrapped
Those shots are great, I love the colour ones. I also loved Suzi's shots especially the second one.

I have a series I shot in what I thought were derelict buildings, only to have the owner/dweller come to chat with me, an interesting guy who lives here and refuses to sell to developers.

[Late Developer]

one more, same model

she has a lot of different looks, which is one reason I'm excited to work with her

In this shot and the earlier, colour photos, I think she has a slight look of Angelina Jolie. Lovely images, every one.

Great work from everyone (again) so why I am I surprised.....??

[Karl]

Great set of pics everyone.
Andrea - that is a wonderful pic
Hookstrapped - Yup
Moominsean - great
I've been tidying draws and found some old slides from a family holiday to Thailand sometime arounf 1990. This was my photography honeymoon period, I was about 23 and in love with a minolta x300. Fuji slide film.
