urban!: nice to see what another on the forum does with a tlr and velvia 50. I've tried my two first rolls but unfortunately haven't had the time to scan them. keep em coming if you have some~ (last one is a fave, the colours go really well with the composition I think)

Thanks Jonas! I think I have at least two more rolls that I haven't scanned. Maybe it was Provia 100, but IMHO there isn't that much of a difference.

Peter! You really should make a book (blurb maybe?) out of these shots one day. I would buy one without looking at the price.

Hi Urban, Thanks. Maybe you'll get the chance eventually. I'm not proposing to do anything with them until next year at least by which time I'll have had the chance to photograph the Ridgeway in all seasons. But I have thought about a book as a possible ultimate goal and you can be sure I'll be shouting about it here if I do produce one.

Peter!

I am totally in love with that second one.
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Since moving to the bone dry desert of New Mexico I seldom see fog round these parts.
You have captured it beautifully!

Thanks Becky. I'm still not sure whether I should have erased the bird that flew into that second shot.

gregor: dunno how these look in the hand but they sure have a nice feelthrough the monitor for me
kind of gives off the feeling of waking out of a dream

First - thanks everyone for the positive comments ;-)

Jojonas - the split tones are not too terribly far off from what I see on my powerbook. I did look at them on dell laptop and while they looked fine, the colors are not the same as the split tones and what I see on my monitor. Attempting to calibrate for cross platform viewing is just too painful !

I'm a patient person Peter. And I firmly believe that you shouldn't rush such projects.

Peter-Leave the bird alone...it's one of the things about the photo that caught my eye.

I'm with Urban on the book. Put me on the list too!

Francois · « **Reply #56 on:** December 05, 2010, 10:19:23 PM »

Here are the leftovers from last week...
For the pigeons, they were eyeballing me real good just before taking off. I think they didn't like the big shiny eye that is my lens

And for the tracks, a simple 17mm job... cliché I know but still...

Alan · « **Reply #57 on:** December 05, 2010, 10:42:11 PM »

love these weekend threads and this is another great one full of diversity!

peter's landscapes are brilliant, very well done

Shot this 3 days ago and processed today. We have had show for the last week
in Ireland, and set to continue for the next week too!

These were shot on the M645super with Acros100 pulled 2 stops.
Developed in Caffenol-c.

Aoluain, this is fantastic!!! What a pictoric scene, do not know why but it reminds of classical Dutch Painters. Great scene!!

Wensleydale Blue · « **Reply #59 on:** December 05, 2010, 11:40:29 PM »

Fresh out of the darkroom this evening.

Xpan shot. Is it too mannered? Too artfully composed? I'm having doubts. Comments gratefully....etc,etc.

calbisu · « **Reply #60 on:** December 05, 2010, 11:53:45 PM »

Peter, wow, fantastic landscapes, specially like the last one from the first batch.
Late Developper, like the one with the bus.
Pryan, the one with the car reminds Eggleston's pictures... very nice one.

Terry · « **Reply #61 on:** December 06, 2010, 02:40:20 AM »

Aoluain, I like what you've been doing with montage. Very cool indeed.

A couple I shot this afternoon:

Mojave · « **Reply #62 on:** December 06, 2010, 04:58:21 AM »

Thanks all!

On the TIP Push!. I like it but its very unstable, just like their other color film. But at least you get more colors in this film.

And Peter, holy cow! Those landscapes are amazing!!!!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #63 on:** December 06, 2010, 07:55:42 AM »

late developer: indeed! also, standing on the forks while they are raised.. don't learn from your mistakes, learn from others! I guess you've heard about staphler farher klaus?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV64lW0CTwI

urban: provia, eh? only tried crossing that one.. I've got a redscaled one sitting in the fridge tho, planning to shoot that one both ways.

francois, cliché or not I like how the rails stand out~

aoluain, fantastic work patching these together. I quite enjoy seeing work like this

wensleydale blue, the x-pan shot is great! right up my alley actually~ the crossing lines make it interesting to look at, the eye can wander over the grit on the ground and I think the dark portion on the top left corner does well in balancing the shot. it could have looked a bit sterile but I think that thing just out of the frame, casting it's shadow gives the human touch to the shot.
If I would change anything I'd probably put a prop in the bench and let the shadow from the same not be cut off on the right side of the frame.

mojave: unstable as the bw? I've only tried the first flush sx70 so anything better than that is an improvement to me

Mojave · « **Reply #68 on:** December 06, 2010, 04:30:17 PM »

Jojonas, I stay away from anything FF. I have had very little success with that film.

I guess what I really mean by unstable is that it turns blue after time and I have a very difficult time getting the color right in anything but perfect lighting conditions. They say on the website that the colors are best in tungsten lighting. Well, who is going to just shoot in tungsten light, especially with such a slow film. It is pretty though, when it comes out right. Its just most of the shots dont come out right. I think I'll hold off on the color film for a while. I prefer their b&w anyway, though I cannot get my SX70 to eject it. I have to bring a changing bag, dark slide and One Step camera with me out in the field. After each shot, I put both cameras and the dark slide in the bag and closed it up. I then pull the film pack out of the SX70 and put it into the 600 to eject the film. Then I pull the film pack out of the 600, put the dark slide in the pack and put the pack back into the SX70. I never lost a single shot and was pretty happy with the results. Here are my favs.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #69 on:** December 06, 2010, 04:30:33 PM »

Skorj, that ticks pretty much all my boxes and pushes a few buttons that I thought were lost for ever! I need to start using Ektar again. I just love the colours.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #70 on:** December 06, 2010, 04:33:08 PM »

Ooops! You posted whilst I was, Erin! I have to admire your resolve in using both cameras and the results are great.

Mojave · « **Reply #71 on:** December 06, 2010, 04:39:15 PM »

Thank you so much Phil!! That means a lot coming from you. I know how you feel about TIP.

Pete_R · « **Reply #72 on:** December 06, 2010, 06:09:49 PM »

Terry, I really like your second one. My sort of picture.

Alan · « **Reply #73 on:** December 06, 2010, 08:38:37 PM »

lovely images Mojave!

thanks for the kind words Calbisu, Terry and jojonas.

Terry · « **Reply #74 on:** December 07, 2010, 01:15:33 PM »

Peter--I had you in mind when I shot that. I saw the lone tree against the open field and that unusually-shaped pine tree in the background (and the clouds of course) and thought of your landscapes. I had to slog through a muddy field to get close enough. This is a large parcel of disused farmland not far from my house that was taken over by the county and designated a park but left to grow wild. I've been going walking there frequently of late. With cameras of course.

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #75 on:** December 07, 2010, 04:31:17 PM »

Wonderful images Mojave!

sapata · « **Reply #76 on:** December 07, 2010, 04:59:39 PM »

Great work as usual everyone...
I haven't got anything yet this weekend (and probably won't...) but I keep checking this thread which is always inspiring!

Sean - I love the rich details in your 4x5 shots, specially the second one.
Peter - These are great ! the first 4 posts are fantastic and I absolutely love the grey tones.
Terry - Your shot looks like a B&W print with the leaves hand - coloured !
Skorj - Very beautiful shot... very spontaneous.
Mojave - You've got a great set of polaroids, the tones are fantastic and it's well worth all the hard work !

Been too busy to scan anything or even post much in the past week.. only just had a chance to check the weekend thread.. lovely work from all, i especially love Andrea's butcher guy and Diane's sheep & Erin's pola's

Big Foot in the window, on TIP Push! shot with SX70 Sonar.

Aww, I can't believe how much your cat looks like this stray one that I found in Andalucia years ago!

calbisu · « **Reply #79 on:** December 08, 2010, 05:19:50 AM »

MOjave, first and last one, super cooool, specially the last one which I find really atmospheric.. (whatever it means

) Is like it was shot in B/W but then the cactus in it has some color. Great

astrobeck · « **Reply #80 on:** December 08, 2010, 06:48:39 AM »

Mojave-love that last one.

It really captures the sense of desolation in the desert. Well worth all the effort to get that out of your cameras too!

Windy · « **Reply #81 on:** December 08, 2010, 11:28:09 AM »

I'm a bit slow this week. Stranded in the Edinburgh snow last week and a few domestic and family 'incidents' to deal with (a 19 year old son with a broken arm being one of them). Catching up now tho'. Some examples of recent stuff. B&W developed at the weekend, and a first go with colour in the Holga

mojave: quite the process you got going but I have to concur with the rest that those are some stunning shots!
it's interesting to read what you think of the TIP line up. I guess I'll look into buying some next year some time. I've got film to feed it for a while now

Mojave · « **Reply #83 on:** December 08, 2010, 02:37:49 PM »

Thank you all so much! And Suzi, that cat does look like Biggy, especially those stripes on the forelegs.

Good grief that's a lovely image. I've been experimenting with Ektar but haven't cracked it yet.

Great photo.

Yeah Mr. Skorj, that's a cracker, Car, lady, the lot.

Windy - I envy your tree shot, very cool squire.

And I think the war memorial is a really excellent image. Reminds me of Donovan Wylie's work in Ulster. Cool and clinical but with a great eye for an engaging composition.

Do not know of Donovan Wylie, will investigate
