After the capacitors blew up on a power pack Tim Soar was good enough to bring me two others to play with. With Paul Hill visiting one could resist asking him to sit for another portrait along with his friend.

Just back from a visit to Seattle. Spent some time in the museum of flight there. These are taken with the Bencini Comet S on Efke 100. I'm having a lot of fun shooting with this camera; one speed, one aperture.

Just saw your shot of G-BOAG Terry. Coincidence because the other possibility for my entry into the Kodachrome thread was this.

Taken when G-BOAG was in service and, if I remember correctly, taken from the window of another plane as we passed each other. Probably at Heathrow.

Yup. The world went backwards the day that Concorde was taken out of service. Amazing, really, as so many other makes and models of jet have crashed and yet other examples are still allowed to fly.

My dad and I went to see the inaugural British flight from Filton (Bristol) in April 1969, just after my 8th birthday. What a noise it made - amazing for such a small plane. We were convinced this was the start of a dynasty of supersonic travel....

And I used to see Concord take off from Filton airfield outside of my high-school windows. Some years back mind you. I seem to remember teach having to stop the lesson as the noise was tremendous.

Anyone got a snap of a Conkordski??

I loved Koncordski ... But then I would

Here's a few from my quick trip to Margate with the Clack and the Coronet 44, plus two from the snow in Canterbury on the Clack. I used Infosol 3 on the Shanghai GP3 120 in the Clack and Aculux on the Efke R100 127 in the Coronet. Will dig out my Fed Microns on Legacy Pro 400 once I've scanned. (The larger format's I snap with the 5D).

Peter--great to see the Concorde in action. I was amazed at the tiny cramped cabin; good thing it shaved 3 hours off the crossing! The museum people are looking after it well, though of course it doesn't fly anymore.

Miles--I love the Canterbury snow scenes. Never been there in the wintertime.

I only just realized the other day that Efke R100 is meant to be reversal stock. I've just been processing it as neg and it looks pretty good!

Happy days, Andrea. I remember when I was in the police we had to close the A38 if it was taking off due to the thrust from the thing. I gather that they were afraid that it would blow cars out of their lane.

thanks everyone for the comments on my 665 shots. This weekend we took a trip to the San Juan Islands and I took the Diana w/me to shoot some faux panoramas. haven't used that camera in quite awhile. I used the Diana as my main camera for years and it was nice to reacquaint myself with her.

sapata · « **Reply #72 on:** January 04, 2011, 10:36:28 PM »

I love those Margate shots ! I went there last year... quite a strange feeling, it looked like the place has been abandoned ... it made me very happy because it's the sort of theme I love photographing but a bit depressed inside at the same time. I have few rolls I haven't developd yet...

sean, I had a small toy exactly like the one in the 2nd pola !

urban, that's a proper coffee ! you just made me go to the kitchen and make a nice expresso !

gregor, I really like your pano...what's your technique with the Diana ? I only managed that few times by a mistake with my Holga and a Kodak Box...

gregor · « **Reply #73 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:02:22 PM »

with the diana I take shot one, advance by 2 markings as I'm looking through the red counter window. once I've taken a pano and want separation between panos just advance to the next frame number. On a 16 shot roll I get around 7 - 9 depending on how many 'frames' in a single pano.

It's a lot of fun and some shots turn out awful but most turn out pretty interesting.

sapata · « **Reply #74 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:15:05 PM »

Taken with my LCA from inside the car, here's my first collaboration of the year... not a new one though, in fact 7 years ago (still re-scanning loads of negs for my website).

The weather hasn't inspired me at all lately... looks like the sun has been in total eclipse for the past 3 months... I find the only time I see enough light is when I'm stuck in my workplace.

I'm starting work on a project about that period for women between childhood and adulthood, where being a girl and being a woman gets confusedly overlapped and tangled, where personas are picked up and dropped and picked up again. Working with models ages 20-22 has been very interesting, especially as I work with them and get to know them. My daughter is also the same age, so I have this unique window on a fascinating time...

My idea for executing the idea is mixing my Gakkenflex pics which have been about constructed personas, especially sexual and older woman personas, with portraits that might be more natural and maybe reflect more the girl which she is and still wants to be in many ways but which she's also trying hard to leave behind.

So I was trying to get a portrait of Yesenia that would work with these three Gakkenflex pics
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hookstrapped/sets/72157625661146708/

And I had an idea to try to capture how youthful she is, because she seems and looks much younger in person than how she comes across modeling.

This ^ captures her youth, but it otherwise doesn't say much.

I think this one does what I'm looking for

It doesn't do it the way I intended, but it shows a vulnerability that's part of the idea. And it's visually interesting. It also kind of freaks me out because it looks like a picture of my mom that my dad took in Japan, but that's another story...

hookstrapped · « **Reply #76 on:** January 05, 2011, 03:41:02 AM »

This is how it would look in a single large frame. Or something like this.

Hi Hookstrapped, after reading about your project, I would personally choose the first shot. To me it has a young, innocent air about it that the second one (looking more mature) lacks. Of course it's all about opinions..

CarlRadford · « **Reply #79 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:54:08 AM »

Hi, I appreciate the comment, and I know what you mean, but it also comes down to the strongest pic and, like I mentioned, I think the other still has the vulnerability I'm looking for, the sense of being caught between two worlds.

Thinking a bit more and playing around. Think I'll go with 3 pics, because 3 is the most magical number (baseball, etc.) and triptychs have a long tradition (others will be more traditionally horizontally oriented if the Gakkenflex pics are vertical).

it's pretty much the same using any toy camera. There's a few people whose faux panoramas are much more interesting than mine ;-)

Here's one example of some really wonderful shots, Kelly McCracken using a Holga:
