Hasselblad 501CM - White Sands National Monument.

This is just beautiful!

Ah, well.

A favourite lens here, though now retired; a Meyer Orestor 100/2.8

16mman · « **Reply #7 on:** April 26, 2012, 10:05:11 PM »

Phil: Love the color.

Britt: Love the framing of that first one.

Finally got some negs from last summer scanned at a disreputable lab of ill-repute. I need Photoshop and a scanner so bad

Olympus XA, 400 sumething-or-other, perhaps expired?

Looking forward to some Summer!

One from an all too brief Easter walking trip to the Brecon Beacons. After around 500 metres of ascent, much across soggy moorland, and two hail storms, the views from Craig Fan Las and some sunshine were very welcome.

Good weekend to all.

philb: minimalistic, nice.. I like~
suzi: it works! cute pig

calbisu: always liking looking at your portraits~
britt: loving both shots. geat use of focus~
astrobeck: cool! perfect subject for the flipped lens. I tried flipping on an old boxcamera and I'm eager to see the results!
lynch: good portrait! doesn't feel distanced at all
16mman: you got some nice glow in those negs of yours
steven: oh, rain looks good in black and white

windy!: I love this. it's so dreamy~ I need to shoot more distant shots with my gakkenflex.

here's a recent from me, holga with ilford pan f+. I used my diy red filter I installed on the aperture arm.

flags: sweden, sweden, china, sweden, sweden

there's some recent controversy in the country with politicans on how we seen china and to what degree we should team up and help them in different matters. an underlying question that pops up is: are they a dictatorship or not?

From last weekend's stint in darkroom. Nikon FM3A and 400mm Nikon lens with Fuji 1600 Neopan developed in some sort of Rodinal clone.

Wensleydale Blue · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2012, 10:04:12 AM »

Damn - despite the grain it looks a whole lot sharper in print - and in photoshop! Did I lose some pixels somewhere?

Load of great pictures this week!

My favourites so far are:
-Phil's colour landscape
-Sandeha's B&W portrait
-Suzi's Hardy Tree

Here's one from me, taken in Hong Kong earlier this month.

Phil, I love that shot of White Sands! Very pleasing colors.

16mman, that last shot is really striking!

And kenny, I'd have to say yours is my favorite if only because I would love to jump into the picture and explore. Could you tell me more about where it is?

Great stuff, everyone!

Francois · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2012, 03:54:18 PM »

I spend last evening slaving in the darkroom. You know when you try and pull out a print and you just can't seem to get things right? This was one of those times!
I ended up having to use grade 5... something I rarely have to do. Probably was due to the fact I used some very old HP5 that had a good layer of fog on it... But still, after a lot of patience, here it is

charles binns · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2012, 08:15:40 PM »

Calbisu - lovely portraits. Still developing & scanning my Mexican photos so nothing new from me. A couple of oldies from Marrakesh though. Holga.

Lino · « **Reply #22 on:** April 27, 2012, 08:55:51 PM »

Already lots of great stuff this weekend, but my favorites got to be Suzi's pig and Phil's first post.

I really like your portrait Sandeha.

gary m · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2012, 09:02:57 PM »

Love the color on Phils pic!- Shot this with a Holga in Naples FLorida a few weeks ago. Finally scanned today- rest of set at http://cgmoyer.blogspot.com/

Dave Elden · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2012, 09:23:56 PM »

Fort Shirley, Dominica. Bronica RF645. Abandoned building with trees growing through/around it. Shot on Delta 400 accidentaly exposed at EI100, D76 1+1 for 7:45 seemed to compensate reasonably well.

Heather · « **Reply #25 on:** April 27, 2012, 09:25:42 PM »

Well, if i run out of things to photograph on Sunday , there's always self portraits...

This is from my 2nd roll of film through my homemade pinhole camera. It seems to work pretty well now it has a frame mask in it.

I have a soft spot for Suzi's piggie as my favourite world toy camera day pic I took was of two snoozing piggies

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #26 on:** April 27, 2012, 11:10:26 PM »

The weekend seems to be shaping up beautifully!

Heather, I like this very much. You could always pop this up on the Meet the Filmwasters thread as well

Twice the goodness!

Volker · « **Reply #27 on:** April 27, 2012, 11:54:14 PM »

Today i had the time to 'develop' some Fuji FP-100c negatives from my last portrait shooting a few weeks ago.

Late Developer · « **Reply #28 on:** April 28, 2012, 06:42:43 AM »

Lovely start to the week(end) thread and a corking set of photos added so far. All really interesting to look at but the highlights, for me, so far are:

- Phil's alien landscape
- Suzi's piggie
- Calbisu's 2nd (one of the best portraits I've seen, ever)
- Britt's shots of Edinburgh
- Nick Moys' shot of Brecon Beacons
- Wensleydale Blue's shot of the Dales - that print must look stunning on a wall
- Volker's Fuji instant. Not sure how you get that effect but it's lovely

Not had time to do much shooting of late but I've raided the archive for another negative originally scanned for me (low res and in jpeg) prior to getting my own scanner. This is a deliberately blurred shot of Battersea power station through a grubby train window exiting Waterloo station. Nikon F3, 24mm/f2.8 Nikkor and TMax100

David A-W · « **Reply #29 on:** April 28, 2012, 09:29:37 AM »

What I enjoy about these weekend posts is the variety of the photographs and the imagination behind the images: very stimulating.

Here's my contribution - something of an end-of-the-roll throwaway shot - I've been playing with my 1936 Leica IIIa and a contemporary Summar last weekend: it's a very hazy but characterful lens that sometimes produces quite unexpected results, for example this one (1/100 @ f2, FP4+ Prescysol):

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #30 on:** April 28, 2012, 09:45:21 AM »

You are without doubt all such a talented lot!

Phil - I've run out of superlatives!
Suzi - I love fuzzy pigs
Calbisu - two great studies
Britt - Have to fave the first
Becky - love that sweet spot
Nick - mono magic!
Steven - the discarded brolly for me!
Jonas - love the connection between the crossed contrails and flags
Wensleydale - well seen
Kenny - superb tones and textures
Charles - the butcher gets my gold star this week!
Volker - stunning technique
Paul - fab piece of B&W

Just in case you're getting bored of my coastal pinholes here's some taken on a recent trip to Didcot Steam Railway (Peter R's backyard!). All taken on my Zero 2000, PanF and developed in Prescysol EF

Great work everybody, as always. I particularly like Paul's pinhole trains. Soft and sharp at the same time.

I've attached three pictures I took in my parent's garden to 'use up' a roll of film - and they turned out to be my favourite on the roll.

120 FP4+ in 1:50 R09, with my Mamiya 645/80mm lens. Sepia 'toned' in Aperture to see what they might look like printed on my new supply of Ilford MGFBWT paper.

Thank you.

Awesome work in this thread! very inspirational!

David Alexander - are you sure that IIIa isnt 1937 and not 1936? I also have a IIIa and from what i know its a 1937 camera. Love the lens on it. I agree with the unexpected results. I dont shoot often enough with it to predict its results very well anymore. Plus the viewfinder is SO small!

Heres a little photodump from this weekend. Shot with my newly acquired XA!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #41 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:07:22 AM »

tintin, that shot with the kids is just perfect timing! their expression, the jellybeans, his hand. is he reaching for the beans and she's like "noo~"

or does he want to hold hands maybe?
