I took my Hasselblad with the 80mm and a roll of Fuji Acros for a spin a few days ago. Developed in Pyrocat HD. Reichenau mission near Underberg, KwaZulu-Natal.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Regards,

Lawrie.

You certainly may Lawrie - and with such a nice example of Pyrocat development oo. Very timely given our discussions on pyro developers this week.

Lawrie: Lovely tones and shadow detail, I love square's too bad my autocord broke

so no more 6x6 for me for awhile.
SprayNPray: Loving the sunrays and the water tower in the distance. A good landscape!

I have some old ones from June that I may have neglected to post on a weekend thread. Shot with an OM-10 on hp5+ @400

No harm in cropping to a square format!! Don't let the lack of a 6x6 deter you!

NSFW, so close your eyes, or stop scrolling, NOW.

Testing out two new (old) cameras this week. Both basket cases, one with the lens hanging off and the rangefinder in pieces, and the other with the wind tensioner spring broken. Not difficult fixes, but the viewfinder of the Walz Electric will always be a bit off, while the Walzflex IIIa will have many more rolls for breakfast in my stable.

Last Friday at the Third Floor Gallery opening of Sergey Chilikov, there were models recreating some of the poses in the photos. They had the floor to themselves, as it were, as some folks hardly took any notice at all. Well, seen it all before I suppose. Not me though - I had to borrow two rolls of HP5 to complete my camera test.

The Walzflex came out for a quick spin around the docks in sunny weather.

Becky that's excellent!

Sweaters are coming out in Philly, but we're still dining outside. Only a few weeks left of that I imagine. Here my wife is about to catch a flight so she's getting extra love from my youngest. I'm sure he's stealing a slice of her pizza just outside of the frame :-)

- Lawrie's pyro-wotsit (note to self: must have a look into this pyro stuff....) is just stunning.
- Sandeha's set show what a varied and interesting time is to be had in Cardiff these days

- Love the mood and colours in Archaeobobalist's shot
- Jeff has captured a very touching and quiet moment...

....just to pick out a few of the many stonkingly good photos so far

Mine are from the Ridgeway Ramble earlier this month. Just getting used to the Leica R3 and lenses, so I'm pretty happy the way these have come out. Taken on Fuji Reala 200 (not one of my favourites but all I had in the bag at the time by way of colour print film at the time). I've run these through Lightroom and applied an "autumn" preset which has warmed them up a bit.

*Lawrie - what amazing tonal range! So do you print in darkroom or scan on a flatbed?

*SpraynPray - great light!!

*Soap - that roof shot is so wonderful!!

*DS - I'm positive that if I could reach into that picture my hand would come out coated in a wonderfully gelatinous coating of color!

*Sandeha Lynch - utterly bizarre and oh so fabulous the nudes among the oblivious... and then... what the... the dude having a casual conversation while the other strangles? um. okay.

*J Warden - WELL captured!! I can picture your son as an adult carrying a dogeared copy of this photo in his wallet. Very, very loving.

An eclectic and wonderful mix so far--somehow Becky's flying cow is not out of place cheek-by-jowl with Thil's shots of Berlin. And I'm a sucker for photos of dereliction and decay....

Hence these shots of a long-abandoned but still extant old diner not too far from here. This from a 100-foot roll of Portra 160NC (expired 2009) that still makes a good image. I'm always astonished by the fine grain of this film.

Votes of thanks this week go to...

Lawrie - superb tonality

Soap - love the trees

Becky - ha ha very Pink Floyd!

Sandeha - I do like a bit of mixed naked wrestling myself

Paul - the warm colours seem to sum up the day very well

moominsean - your Pola's are always a treat to see

Here's a couple of large format images taken on a trip to Whitby the other week

Great example of how pyro can retain highlight detail in extremes of light with good exposure and sometimes without.

Some strong images - liking the autumn colours and the little love thing going on too.

Lovely photos, all.

Terry, those diner shots are very nice. I especially like the entrance shot. They don't make 'em like that any more unfortunately.

My last for this weekend, from inside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is currently showing "Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus".

Diane--what a great find! I've souped a few of rolls from old cameras I've bought but never got an image on any of them. I like the rainbow effect you got there.

Jeff, that's some very cool composition on the art museum shot. Is that a reflection of the office buildings or are you looking out through glass? Whatever it is the juxtaposition is brilliant.

I'm inside the museum looking through glass directly at the buildings in the distance. The clerestory lights reflecting diagonally to the upper right of the image are behind me.

Just been cooing at Pauls amazing velvia leaves on flickr, beautiful.

It's a slow process for me. Still working through a couple of rolls developed in the last week or so, each roll has its problems! The misty fence is from a roll of FP4 stand developed in Rodinal at twice the required strength for an hour (daft miscalculation!). Very dark negatives!

The second (deck chairs on swanage beach) is from a roll of Shanghai GP3 correctly stand developed at 1:100 but with dodgy speckled film. Both taken with an Agfa Isola.

Has anyone tried that lomo redscale film? Shoot at iso 50 and get blues and greens; at iso 200 get reds and yellows. Gimmicky, but I gave a few rolls a go this summer. Recently developed and just scanned this week.

moominsean · « **Reply #38 on:** October 22, 2011, 12:55:07 AM »

interesting that you get colors with redscale when shot slower...pretty sure it is just film that has been flipped on the spool. Wonder what it would do with an ND filter and slowed way down?

you and your sister have about 5% body fat between the two of you!

original_ann · « **Reply #39 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:05:39 AM »

Sean, maybe someone can confirm but I think you're absolutely right about the film being flipped. I might try it one more time - see if it's more conducive to a winter palette.

And yes, my siblings and I all take after my father. We keep the malnourished look 'all in the family', although you'd never know it from our healthy appetites!

Nice images from the Film gang!

I specially like Sapata´s first.... I like cemeteries. I guess whoever likes film likes cemeteries

Al, those spiderwebs just make the shot for me!

As per my side still no shooting as no permit from Ministry of tourism... but today I went to old market and found some interesting cameras. Polaroid ee 100 and polaroid Super Shooter, for around 25 dolars each (not bargaining yet), with a ton of dust on the outside, but the inside was just clean. And then I found that super zoom with gun-like holding which I think is just great if you are looking for problems in Sudan.. I heard there are nubian fighters every weekend, and a Camel Market in Khartoum....
