Finally managed to develop a roll of black and white! Arax 88, 30mm Arsat fisheye, Fomapan 400 (thanks LD), Rodinal 1:100, not totally even development

Again in the little village Sainte-Marie-du-Mont in the French Alps.

Oooohh, that looks cold. What a contrast. We have had two sand storms in a row down here. It looks funny as then the sky seems to be cloudy, of course there is no more than billions of ultrafine dust particles fighting to get inside the camera

Two more portraits, this time group portraits. The one in the tuk-tuk I remember pretty well. I spent many hours walking and travelling around khartoum, dusty, hot, dusty and hooot, but very few shots.

Happy weekend to all.

Love 'em all so far but Calbisu's first is a beauty. Love the expressions on the faces of those chaps....

Mine are from last weekend spent in Dent and Hardraw (the waterfall shots) in the Yorkshire Dales:

We had the pleasure of Graham's (Wensleydale Blue) company the day after these were taken. Some of what we shot with Graham next week. The last one in this series was a bit of a mistake - end of a roll that got chewed (somehow) but I still like it for all its imperfections.

All taken on Ilford XP2 Super using Hasselblad 500c/m.

Sandeha - lovely image.

There's something about the last shot charlesbinns, the tones are really beautiful...

Keith · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2012, 12:31:16 AM »

I was sorting my negs from last year and came across this portrait.
I don't do a lot of these, but this one just had such great tones I think it was worth scanning.

Nikon F5 with Acros 100 (shot at 200), developed in Diafine.

Terry · « **Reply #9 on:** March 09, 2012, 01:17:51 AM »

Like that shot Keith--great attitude. I've rediscovered how much I like Acros too. Shot this on my Ikoflex yesterday--I set it on a tabletop and exposed at 1/30 and f/5.6. Souped it today in RO9 at 1:50.

Jeff Warden · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2012, 01:51:40 AM »

Hi all,

I got a Hasselblad a few weeks ago and so now I'm just experimenting with it. This is a scene near my house in Philly.
I like the camera a lot.

Hello again everyone. There are some great shots here already (as expected from such a talented bunch of wasters

). I'm digging way back into the archives for my addition to the thread as I've recently been asked to scan some of my old band photos from back in the day. This one is of Ian at the wheel of the van in 1989, driving from DC to Chapel Hill, NC for Fugazi's first ever out of town gig. Very happy memories of these couple of days.

It was shot on an incredibly cheapo plastic camera; all I can remember is that it was bright red....and really, really rubbish (but not in a good way...in a bad way!). This was scanned from the original drug store print and then brought back to life contrast-wise via P'shop.

And a bit more from me. This time shots from the first roll of my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye (restored by Randy Smith). Amazing how nothing is in focus!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #20 on:** March 09, 2012, 02:43:39 PM »

all I can saw is WOW! beautiful stuff..a great weekend!
Mine from my Nikon N8008 and generic black & white.

Totenmaus · « **Reply #21 on:** March 09, 2012, 03:20:16 PM »

Holy wow - there're so many compelling shots!

I particularly like SprayNPray's top pic - the way an already beautiful shape gets abstracted by the depth of focus and the eye gets drawn. Wonderful.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #22 on:** March 09, 2012, 04:17:45 PM »

another from today..3 1/2 hour exposure ..could have gone a bit longer but I had an appointment..this is so much fun!! I love pinholes!

At a very first glance while scrolling down the pages I thought it was a cityscape shot with a UFO in the sky!

Lovely shot Diane...

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #30 on:** March 09, 2012, 07:41:56 PM »

Yes! Diane, that living room shot is great. It's good to see a pinhole taken inside rather than outside for a change. I messed around with indoor pinholes for a while, but never got anything as good as yours.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #31 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:07:01 PM »

Thank you Ed. ! when you get past the fact that it is going to prolly takes hours of exposure and just deal with it, it becomes a lot of fun!! I am so sick of snow that it just isn't any fun to go out and try despertly to find something that isn't covered with white!!

Welcome to my world... though I already saw a red robin and the seagulls have arrived... Patches of grass are showing through the snow... Y-E-S!

Nigel · « **Reply #33 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:53:26 PM »

When I was about 14 I had a summer job moving boxes at a friend's father's business, he was something to do with Hasselblad distribution in the UK. He told me the story about it being the camera taken to the moon. Ever since I've hankered after one, but I've never felt I could justify it.

Well I've finally bitten the bullet and at the moment we're circling each other, each not quite sure what to make of the other. Apart from the fact it takes me about 10 mins to take a shot, and weighs as much as a small car, I love it.

These are from my first test roll.

Ok, there are some weekends that are special and I think this is one of them. Keith´s (so classy), Ed´s (fantastic), Terry´s (I love portraits), Diane´s first Pinhole and Nigel´s second one (that could even pass as a Rolleiflex one

) are my favorites so far..

Well some people complain about the snow and I complain about the sand and dust...

Two Polas 108, from our weekend in the desert, a sand dune and beautiful Elena

Thanks, Diane! When I get around to it I'll send you one.

Diane, great shot! What was your paper/developer?

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #38 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:55:41 PM »

Keith...the paper is ADOX MCP 312..premium matt-satin..I think it is the least expensive paper I have (about $35.00 (?)for a box of 100 5x7's...and I am really liking it..I use Dectol to develope my paper..just haven't tried anything else so far..
Now, I am not sure what astrobeck or Britt use..but I think Britt uses caffenol..

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #39 on:** March 09, 2012, 09:57:56 PM »

Lovely stuff everyone! This is shaping up to be an excellent weekend thread

Went hiking with my cousin a few weekends ago in the Mountains near the coast in Malibu. The Ray Miller Trail to Pt Mugu. Took along my Zeiss Ikon ZM and Fuji GF670 with rolls of Velvia. Gotta love the Velvia

ran a roll of ektar through my agfa cadet b-2 box camera. it likes to overexpose but first time i've run color film through. heck, i don't even think i've used it for a couple years...

astrobeck · « **Reply #47 on:** March 10, 2012, 04:24:24 AM »

Sean- I hope we get to see more from the Salton Sea!
I wanted to go there this past December but never made it out of the Mojave Desert Preserve.

The Ektar seems well suited for that Agfa Cadet.
