So much good stuff this weekend. Great pinhole work.

Following the intro of the Harman 8x10 and subject discussions elsewhere decided to put up some 8x10's this week, now just need the enlarger in place.

Finally! I finished the roll I started last September in the Half frame!
It's unbelievably painful to have to wait so long for the roll to end!
So, here's a miscellaneous from fall and winter.

Francois · « **Reply #55 on:** March 10, 2012, 04:31:42 PM »

And a bit more

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #56 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:02:02 PM »

These are great!! Love the progression..And even Mr. Potatohead..how cool!!

I had to go into the industrial park and I saw the Hasbro head office. I peeked through the door and saw him. Click.

Love the progression

Me too - Francois's pics show a real journey - countryside through suburbs to city then Mr Potato Head as a bonus feature at the end (like the silver thu'penny piece hidden in the christmas pudding).

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #59 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:07:48 PM »

Great stuff everyone. Nigel, you're doing great with your new love!

And another one from me. Roll three from this weekend. This time from the first roll through my Holga WPC that I shot last WPPD (yes, almost a year ago). I went out at dusk without a light meter and seriously underestimated the exposure time. Also there's drying marks on the negative. Oh well, hopefully the next rolls will be better

more time in the darkroom lately and less time behind a camera, but here's a recent shot using 100c Silk that I'm happy with ;-)

Steve, those 8x10s are just stunning.

stevesegz · « **Reply #63 on:** March 10, 2012, 10:02:43 PM »

Thanks Late developer, have to say I am getting hooked on 8x10, looking at such a big viewfinder is wonderful!

Miller... the Smena shot is a Killer!
Damion... love the traffic light wrapped on the post

Here are few more from the post-carnival series taken with my Debonair...

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #66 on:** March 11, 2012, 07:11:35 PM »

Can't pick a favourit this weekend, so many great pics.

I have, like Urban Hafner, a "new" Brownie Hawkeye modified by Randy at Holgamods. The frontplate is in a lovely red colour, so ofcourse, it is a Reddie now

Went to Gothenburg this weekend and shot the first rolls, and I think I am in love with this little baby.

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #67 on:** March 11, 2012, 07:59:50 PM »

Nice shots Britt! The reversed lens seems to work for you. I received my Hawkeye with a reversed lens by accident

I'll have to try again now that I've flipped the lens back.

Thank you Urban. I love the flipped lens, think that is great. Just as I ordered it

You don't whant that? I think your pics are wonderful!

Great stuff as usual. My faves this week are charlesbinns, gregor, ed's thumbs up shot, diane's living room, admiral.asthma's cargo train and stevegz's flowers.

I kept on running into geese and swans this weekend.

Thanks Britt! I'm not sure about the lens, yet. I'll have to give it a try the "right" way around. Maybe I'll flip it back (it's easy enough to do).

Taken this weekend withthe Ansco Shu-Flash that Diane sent me over from the States as part of the "Share the Love" campaign. Expired TMAX 100 in RO9. My rescue Pup Indiana and his sister Bumble.

Just catching up after being away last week. A fantastic set of photos here and Nigel, my congratulations on your new edition to the family!

Three terrific images Peter... I think I know where the first one is too!

I've still yet to see the Hockney exhibition so am going to reserve judgement until I've seen it in the flesh. It's certainly going to interesting for me as I grew up in East Yorkshire not a mile away from where he painted most of his new images.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #77 on:** March 13, 2012, 02:06:03 PM »

You know where they were all taken Paul. All within a few yards of each other.

It was worth going but I was in London anyway. Not sure I would have made it otherwise. I went Friday afternoon and had to queue for an hour to get in. Apparantly it's quieter in the evenings.

Beautiful, Peter. I don't remember seeing many of your shots cropped to square but the tones and the way you've presented these shots is spectacular.

Still using the XP2 Super? I've become quite an avid fan of it as well - although I seem to be getting higher contrast. Maybe that's just down to the light or the way I'm scanning / processing. You should run some master-classes in how to post-produce images like these. I'd sign up in a flash....

astrobeck · « **Reply #82 on:** March 13, 2012, 08:03:03 PM »

yes, these are really nice Peter. I'm especially fond of the last one.
Very nice all of them!

Great idea Paul, could Skype be used to do a group webinar type thing?

I'm not quite sure how they all work. I've used webex before but is it free?

[isn't it about time you got rid of that crappy old M6 Paul?

Yes, the first one I decided needed to be square when I shot it. The other two I just cropped to what I felt like. The second one I re-cropped to my usual 2x1 for my Ridgeway group on Flickr.

Yes, still XP2. Some difference maybe in that I process it in Aculux. I assume you're getting it done in C41 are you? As for post, these three had minimum done to them - even less than I normally do, which isn't much.

I've used both but only ever on a one to one basis.

If anyone's interested, I could write up what I do, it really isn't a lot, and post it on here or somewhere anyone can see it.

Hiya Chops.

I've genuinely no idea when it comes to Skype and webinars. I was actually thinking more of a "special edition FW podcast" on the subject. I doubt there's few absolute rights or wrongs when it comes to scanning (for the most part at least) but some pointers on how to achieve optimum tonal separation, sharpness, low (or high) grain and that sort of thing would be really helpful. Aside from some really good tips that have been passed along through Filmwasters threads, it's been trial and (a lot of) error for me.

Get rid of the M6? Well, I'll stick to my promise that if I ever do (and that is very unlikely) you will be given first dibs.

I just did a bit of searching and there is no p2p video conference software that supports multiple users without having a dedicated server. The simplest free way to do it is to install Big Blue Button on a server... not an option I fear.
Skype would work but there needs to be at least one premium user in the group. $:-\$

Google Hangout+ does, for free (at least for now). I use it for staff meetings at work all the time, and I keep seeing posts online where people have recorded it somehow. I think it has a 10- or 12-person maximum.
