Not shot or processed anything this week. Instead I was scanning a pile of old negs and came across this one shot in Beijing (Fuji 400H).

Nick Moys · « **Reply #4 on:** March 22, 2012, 11:11:05 PM »

Haven't got out with a camera for a couple of weeks, so have been catching up with some scanning.
Looking forward to wasting some film at Southwold on Saturday.
Happy weekend to all.

lovely start as usual...

vidwatts I certainly do like your first post here, keep them coming.

Mine are Mum, Dad and Gran. shot at the dinner table on Mothers day. I am trying to make mysef take more 'portraits'. Polaroid 195 and expired 664 from 2004.

I just bought some 12"x16" paper for the darkroom, looking forward to trying it, although I need to get it right as it is pricey!

happy weekend all.

I took the new/old Seneca 8x10 I've been tinkering with for the past many weeks for a trial run. Some bizarre and interesting results, but this one came out well enough. I was playing with the tilt and it fascinated me the way I could get distant trees and foreground grass sharp at the same time. Just some crappy Arista EDU film, as it was a first test. Shot this with a Rodenstock 240mm.

Very cool!

Happy Weekend, everyone! Lovely work.

Nothing to show (yet?), but the VE+ News is that I have a Great Wall DF-2 on the way. Fingers crossed for a Saturday arrival.

Very much!!! Welcome!

Steven, is that the Bay Bridge in the background? Nice. San Francisco with a camera is a very large slice of heaven. If I'm ever independently wealthy, that's exactly where you'll find me.

Cool effect Steven - assuming instant film reacts like negative film, this looks like solarisation caused by extreme over exposure. Ansel Adams' photo 'The Black Sun' is a good example of this (also taken in California - I guess you have more sun than most of us!)

Love Lawrie's landscape too - great simplicity. Vidwatts - fantastic pinhole.

Lawrie, Phil great stuff as usual! Sapata I like the first one. You're fast with the Fujica Drive! I'm still shooting my first roll.

Love it! This must be one of the most photographed spots in Venice! I took one from there in 2005..

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2012, 09:50:38 AM »

A couple this week..

One from my trip to Paris end of last year with Britt & Diane.. this was taken just before we went into the Diane Arbus exhibition.. the other is a homemade lens on an old Dacora Digna body which has since broken I think..

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2012, 02:30:49 PM »

Oh Suzi..I remember this so well..beautiful!!
and Vidwatts...beautiful pinhole..Welcome!!

A couple from a long trip I took 21 (!) years ago, and only got around to scanning lately. All shot with my trusty Fujica st605n on Kodak slide film.

A family-run hotel in Singapore where I was staying

A view of Bali

And a Swedish shot, from Kungälv. Still Holga and caffenol

Late Developer · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:21:10 PM »

Some gorgeous shots on here already. Kudos to Lawrie, Nick and Britt + all the others. However, my favourite so far is the utterly dreamy trees and chairs shot by Suzi. That is just wonderful.

Mine are grab shots in London (again) taken on XP2 Super. The "flowers" were taken with M4-P / 50mm lens and the others are medium format....

I just couldn't wait to finish! After all it was my very first half frame film

by the way... how noisy is that motor drive ??

Hi Terry.

In all honesty, I can't remember 100% although I'm pretty certain it was on the Northern Line and is probably Warren Street or Goodge Street.

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #32 on:** March 23, 2012, 10:34:25 PM »

Vid, that Venice shot works nicely with the crisp distance contrasting the subtle foreground movement.

Thil, that makes me hungry - a little classic, really.

But then so does thinking about tamales.

The tube line shot is tempting - you could shoot every corner underground !!

Rolls still unfinished, so I thought I'd share what I believe were my best shots ...

... from 1987. A gallery in Koln, Germany.

No, not yet I'm afraid. Shouldn't be too far away, dispatched 2 Friday's ago. I believe the pigeon is resting in Ullapool and replenishing it's food stores before the final push across the Minch

Cool start Phil, time capsule. Like Lawrie's tree and Miller's bridge too. Just Dev'd two rolls of SFX in RO9, a 120 from a BHF with a flipped lens and taped on red filter and a 35 mm from a Bootfair Zenit 12EX with various filters. Roll drying at the mo, think I got a result but the 120's crinkled down one edge ?

A walk on the island edge. Sunshine and warmth all round so Eve and I took off to Reef beach then up onto the hills behind descending then to the road behind. Lovely. One person seen all day here.

Took a Minolta with Polypan-f.

Terry · « **Reply #46 on:** March 25, 2012, 12:31:09 AM »

So Diane sent me a pinhole camera and I've been playing with it today. I like this one, but the odd thing is that a guy walked through the shot and left no impression. It was a ten-second exposure, and he's not even a ghost. This is fun stuff to play with!

16mman · « **Reply #47 on:** March 25, 2012, 05:37:05 AM »

Vidwatts: nice pinhole.

shooting with some thrift store plastic through a wide-angle video lens.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #48 on:** March 25, 2012, 03:04:05 PM »

Terry...I believe Andrea told me that with longer exposure you have to kinda stay within the 1 or 2 second range to get someone to show up..I did this last year and it worked out best for me with the exposure about that amount of time..otherwise the person gets through before an impression can be made..I guess it would depend how long it took them to walk through...and the amount of time you have determined you need based on your film etc..I also used a ND filter to help the process.What film did you use?....it is always hard for me to get my brain completely wrapped around this concept..but I really like your image..Good goin'!
Andrea, or anyone else, please feel free to correct me if I am misunderstanding this!!
Did you ever happen to see the book that Andrea did with long exposure?...it it is a fabulous book and inspires me everytime I look though it!!
Here is a link to Andreas beautiful book... http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/527952

Andrea. · « **Reply #49 on:** March 25, 2012, 06:08:44 PM »

Diane, You are so very kind.
Did I say 1-2sec? Is that the right length of time?? I probably did say that but I think it's wrong. I think it's time as a relationship to the whole length of exposure. So, a 30 secs exposure would require the 'walker' to walk very slowly - a sort of meditative walk. Or something like that anyway :-)
