scanned a couple 35mm shots from my trip. always takes me longer to get around to scanning the format.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #4 on:** April 15, 2011, 06:42:45 PM »

Ian, love the shot and good to see the TLR in use.

Sean, loving yours.

Great start to the weekend!

One from a Holga that really likes to warp the edges....
I see custom cars like this on Route 66 a lot. Fun place!

This chap is wheelchair-bound, plays the violin very well and is an extremely nice fellow to chat with. His "pitch" is right outside the main entrance to the National Portrait Gallery in London. He clearly used to dabble a bit with photography as he recognised my M6 instantly and seemed really pleased to be having his photo taken on film.

M6 TTL, 28mm f2.8, Tri-X (scanned on V750), cropped very slightly and sharpened.

more caffenol antics. i'm still doing something wrong.

desaturated since the caffenol gives a brownish tint.

I like your first picture hookstraped.

Mojave · « **Reply #11 on:** April 15, 2011, 10:50:58 PM »

Phil, you know how I feel about that shot.

35 and Windy, love your differing perspectives on architecture back to back in the stream like that.
Sean, Im really loving your "fly on the wall" shots.
Becky, great color and I love that warping. That's part of the camera?
LD, you sure got a great composition in that tight shot.
HS, Im even more intrigued. Love the shots and I cant wait to see the whole story put together.
Lino, I rather like how the processing turned out with these, especially with the first. Really fits the subject matter.

Ok, I finally have something ready in time for the weekend. Holga pinhole pano and Ektar, processed at a lab.

California Poppy Reserve a few weeks ago.

SP on the beach in Grand Case, St Martin, FWI. Neg scan.
Taken using a Canon Sureshot WP (waterproof - it says on the front!) I bought for $6.99 in a thrift shop. Works well, never quite sure where it's focusing because it's a P&S with no overrides. Seems to overexpose in bright light (e.g. beaches) with Delta 400 but film has enough latitude to cope.

original_ann · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2011, 12:14:00 AM »

Phil - that tree has such an amazing shadow-throw!!
35mmPB - LOVE the geometry of the steps and bridge!
Windy - holga-lovely

Sean - great perspective and beauuuteeful rich tones! Like a scene out of a 50s/60s black and white.
Hookstrapped - that first one is my favorite! It's just luscious!
Erin - that is so lovely! (... and why am I suddenly craving mangos??)
Walter 45 - what a fantastic set! That last one is my favorite!!

I feel like I'm getting back in the swing of going out with my camera. Still healing from surgery last Oct, but I've lugged my camera back around for long days out and shot 10 rolls in the last week. Makes me happy and feel so accomplished

Alas, I'm out of c-41 chems so no scanning for awhile.

original_ann · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2011, 12:16:00 AM »

Thank you, I really enjoy this thread every week, so varied but all good!

calbisu · « **Reply #17 on:** April 16, 2011, 01:28:41 AM »

Wow, so many nice images!!!

Specially like the second one from Hookstrapped, great mood, the fantastic pinhole from Mojave, the one from SEan, and of course the one from my mainland, Girona ; ) ooh, and that shadow portrait from Dave

Two with the Pentax 67, self developped, which has improved after I was able to measure the temperature of the... room. Now I develop at 28 degrees. And I wonder why before I would put the liquids on an ice tray in order to get 21 degrees, obviously is much easier to adjust the time accordingly with the liquids temperature

I have an iphone application that does all the job and even counts the different times and warns you about them, and tells you how nice your pictures are

my Polaroid 350 bellows is starting to collapse.

Don't talk about bellows... This was the last straw on my 340... Now sorted and here's a pic of one of my favourite shops in Londonium...

vicky slater · « **Reply #20 on:** April 16, 2011, 04:09:01 PM »

oooh, the usual wonderful eclectic mix of goodies!
seems like quite a vintage feel here today.

these are a couple of my friend's youngest and one from that first (and only :) paid job i did.
hasselblad both on fuji 160 i think.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2011, 06:41:49 PM »

Lovely work, Vicky. You will be paid again if the people of Salisbury have any sense!

vicky slater · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2011, 06:44:29 PM »

thanks phil :) here's hoping....... still need to get a fees page up on the website though.

hookstrapped · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2011, 06:53:45 PM »

Mojave's pinhole is so beautiful -- it makes me miss California (so it must be a powerfully evocative image)

Dave Dunne · « **Reply #25 on:** April 16, 2011, 11:01:08 PM »

During the week, I discovered I still had some TIP Silvershade First Flush in my SX-70 so took this shot (to celebrate the latest Filmwasters video podcast).

omg!!!!
Did you steal one of those bee boxes?
I sure would have, they have pinhole written all over them!!!!
We used to keep bees when I was a kid at home, I LOVE this image!

So very cool!

Mojave · « **Reply #29 on:** April 17, 2011, 03:51:33 AM »

Ann, I didnt realize you had surgery. Im glad to hear you are on the mend and Im very happy to see you back. I cant wait to see some images!

Carlos, those teeter totters are amazing!!! Love the lines.

TKmedia, Nice image in spite of the sag.

Miller, love that color!

Vicky, excellent images. I recognized your work right off as I was scrolling through. And I agree with Phil!

HS, you dont like Cali?! LOL! Im glad you liked my shot anyway.

And that new shot you posted is so, so different from the others with that highlighted print above her and her body language and the door leading outside. I feel like there is this huge story there and I just need to figure it out and it all starts with the image above the door. So wonderful!

Thanks so much Blur for taking such a wonderful TIP image in honor of the blog! Cute dog!

Diane, lovely bee boxes! I had no idea they were so beautiful.

Sorry if I missed anybody. Im about to develop some film so Im in a rush.

chris_n · « **Reply #30 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:28:04 AM »

here's a shot from today... trying to figure out how to compensate for the horribly 'off' rangefinder of my polaroid 340.

hookstrapped · « **Reply #31 on:** April 17, 2011, 11:26:25 AM »

Hey Mojave, thanks for the comments on the pic. As for California, it's just that I was born and raised there... You know how it is....

A big thumb-up, Filmwasters. I do love scrolling through these weekend threads. For once I have something (fairly lightweight) to contribute. I'm temporarily back on the instant film after my first flush (TM) of b/w & C-41 processing of last month, but hope to spend a couple of days with the chems out later next week while the kids are away. Anyway, Amy had her 6th birthday last weekend and I shot my penultimate pack of 500 series Pola film in my snazzy, silver Joycam to mark the event. It has a default mode called, "Make everything look like 1976" which you can't turn off. In tandem with the late-60s built house that their Grandparents live in as a location, you have the perfect time-machine.

Harvey · « **Reply #35 on:** April 17, 2011, 04:22:02 PM »

Slowly catching up on some scanning. These details from an old quarry crane at Portland Bill. Loving the weekend mix as usual.

astrobeck · « **Reply #36 on:** April 17, 2011, 04:49:30 PM »

Wow!
Ed those birthday pix are just timeless!

And I can not believe Amy is six!!!!!! Where did the time go? glad to see you have been documenting her fleeting youth.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #37 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:07:18 PM »

Phil - really enjoy using the TLR and the lens gives a really nice result

I wonder which is the most impressive: the photos or surviving a 6 year old's birthday party

otto k · « **Reply #40 on:** April 17, 2011, 08:52:47 PM »

Long time no "see" everyone. Trying to get back into certain aspects of my online life.

I always did enjoy these weekend threads. Here're a few from a recent outing, finally getting around to the negatives. The first image from an Ilford Sporti and the other two from a Mamiya 645 Super.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #41 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:04:44 PM »

Otto!! Welcome back. Good to see you here again. Everytime I come across one of your recent images online it's been shot with an iPhone, so it's great to see you're still using film. Hurrah!

Francois: You probably saw some of the clips from Amy's party (held the day before these 'Roids were taken). We had around 40 kids all told. It was fun, but mental. We then had a few people back to ours and we all drank steadily while the 6 or 7 kids left, destroyed the house. It took us about 3 days to get fully caught up again.

Alan · « **Reply #42 on:** April 17, 2011, 10:22:23 PM »

great viewing from the weekend thread . . . again!

lovely work from all.

particularly love Mojave's colorful pano!

sapata · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2011, 11:13:41 PM »

Peter's series is great! One of the best you've posted in here...
I really like the tones in Walter's series! The images are really beautiful and sharp.
Vicky's first portrait is amazing... I love everything about it ! all colours are matching perfectly.... brilliant atmosphere.
Diane, I like you LCA shot very much... I know this camera can be a bit controversial but I love it!
Now..., Otto's first pic is the winner so far for me... what a shot !!

Hookstrapped: It's kind of a generalisation which means this may not be an entirely helpful comment, but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer your 'clothes on' work more than your 'clothes off' work. It may be the outside (generally urban) setting which tips the balance...I don't know exactly, but I do prefer these absolutely excellent photos and the recent subway staircase photo to any of the nudes. Fantastic mood and lighting on these three in particular. They put me in mind of a character from a Walter Mosley novel.

Thank you, Ed. I appreciate the comment.

This project, involving both nudes and clothed shots, is a bit of a mess. It's a long story and maybe I'll start a thread on it, but the good thing is I'm going to relax about it now -- in other words, where a series isn't working I'm not going to fret. Instead I'll just take the idea, however unrealized, for a coherent series and use it as an idea generator for stand alone photos some of which hopefully are good.

I talked to the gallery owners in my one-on-one critique today and they sensed I was struggling with it, they didn't see it coming together, but instead they said I had a few beautiful and moving photographs for the exhibition that were unrelated (except in sharing a model) and that's fine. Also had a very interesting discussion with them about collaborating with models which made a lot of sense of my recent struggles, and my very different prior work with non-professional models.

BTW, I think the best pic that I've done for this project is a nude, but it's different. I haven't posted it here because it's pretty NSFW -- I''l do a thread about all this and I'll post it there with warning to those who would enter. Thanks again.

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #46 on:** April 18, 2011, 09:21:34 AM »

Great images everyone! There are too many to mention. I have about 20 rolls of film that I still need to scan, but time's at a premium right now. Hopefully in a few weeks it'll be better.

Still travelling around Asia... both from Hong Kong, first CV 35mm f1.4, second CV 50mm Nokton f1.1, what a wonderful lens (even if a bit heavy for a daily user).

It's a cliche at this point but great work from everybody. Lino, love that first shot. Vicky, love the colours on the first shot, they are perfect for photographing kids. Ed, fantastic tones, I wish I had a camera with the 1976 default mode!!!
