Today I have one of those days where you think all other´s photos are so creative and cool, meaning that my photos did not look creative or cool at all $:-\$ so I decided to scan couple of bleached fp100b negatives I had had with me for long time, like good wine waiting to be opened

These negatives are so difficult to work with. It´s almost impossible to get rid of the goop without damaging the ´negative¨. And the film is not so outdated.. mmhh, the heat, humidity, x-rays.. who knows. Good weekend and good shooting to all!

Tested the Speed Graphic last week and processed the sheets recently...

I used the Adox 50 ISO and processed in Rodinal 1+100 / 18 minutes, pre-washed and used water as stop bath which is recommended by the manufacturer.

While taking the first shot I had a kind of argument with one of the security for trying preventing me of doing so. He said the Park is a private area I had to ask for permission, but there were yellow lines on the little street right in front of the building... which means that is a public place ? Huh Am I wrong ?

Even private roads have to have regular traffic signage. On many new developments, particularly on 'brown' reclamation land, the developer owns the roads as well as building lots. It can be difficullt to know what is private and what is not.

Nice pics anyway.

Happy weekend to all. At least it's a long one for us in the UK.

Hi everybody and a nice weekend.

a good start like always...
After missing last weeks thread here are some images from Heidelberg (old town/center).

charles binns · « **Reply #6 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:19:57 PM »

The first is the Torre Latinoamericana in Mexico City. Holga loaded with Redscale film.
The second is a multiple exposure of Coyoacan. I've been experimenting quite abit with multiple exposures -not sure how I feel about this one. Would appreciate (honest) feed back.

Becky: your picture has me wondering about something... why is it that some dogs naturally pose for the photographer while other ones just couldn't be bothered?

I know there's probably no answer to this one but still...

astrobeck · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2012, 11:17:44 PM »

dogs know I love them, so I mostly get this reaction with them.

Plus having a camera that just goes "click-click" and makes a ratcheting sound when it winds on may help.

Tried to cancelled the other one but it won't let me...

Sooooooorry Sapata

about the yellow lines, no idea. But again, why somebody would prevent anybody from taking a shot i the park?

des not people have anything better to do than annoying photographers, well it seems not.

Hi all,

A great start to the weekend! Here's one I took during lunch today of a warehouse in south Philly. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore. :-)

Hasselblad with fp4.

Cheers,

Jeff

SLVR · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:32:59 AM »

Some just scanned from last weekend! Shooting some "street" with my good ol LCA+. Cross processed Elite Chrome 100. Not sure if it was the extended color... I thought that daylight was supposed to turn green and not aqua. Anyways... any Xpro gurus if love to hear from them! Thinking of getting and trying some sensia next. I love those green shots.

I've been busy but still managed to waste two rolls...

First is a Oilseed Rape field which up until last week covered most of East Anglia:

I left the margins on the scan I may trim them off as it is a little cheesy...

The Second is of my daughter on Southwold beach:

I took quite a few of that field some on Flickr....
Thanks again...

Jeff Warden · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2012, 04:56:19 PM »

Thanks a lot, Diane. That building is in the (now closed) Philadelphia Navy Yard. The yard still has some military presence but is mostly being developed for corporate office space. There are still some very large vessels around . . .

Andrea. · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2012, 05:43:40 PM »

I can't compete.

Been looking after a gallery all week. Sold a few pictures of tohers but not mine. Ah well.
The gallery proprietor showed me how to raise the Scottish flag before he left me in charge. I snapped him up with the Kodak Twin20 loaded with partially used and re-spooled foma100 film.

Harvey · « **Reply #20 on:** June 01, 2012, 10:09:20 PM »

Diane, I just love that tricycle picture. I've followed Mark this week with a bit of Yellow but from a distance. Southern England seems to be covered in the stuff and it's smell is getting none too pleasant.

Another wonderful weekend from everybody.

Nick, that first one is just great, love its balance in composition and tonalities.
Jeff, that big boat... is amazing how much money is devoured in military.

Some polas 108 shot with the 195. The 108 (from year 2000) produce delicious tones when exposed to the ¨right¨ light and time of the day. These are shot in different days but in the same place, a family park in Khartoum.

Heres a couple from Paris a couple of weeks ago.The B&W is xp2 in an olympus xa ,while the colour is ektar in a trip

jojonas~ · « **Reply #31 on:** June 03, 2012, 01:36:20 AM »

calbisu, I'm very much liking the portraits you put up this weekend! specially the last and first shots, good presence in those two.

here's two from me. developed today, two shots taken with my olympus trip 35 (kentmere 100 t-max developer)

SLVR · « **Reply #32 on:** June 03, 2012, 03:49:57 AM »

Miller, Im LOVING those instant shots! Very nice!

Heres a couple from a test roll of superia i put through my new toy. My Slim White Angel (Vivitar UWS copy)

Im dumbfounded how sharp the plastic lens is on this camera. The original scans are very impressive at 100%. Its got a lomography 800 color neg i flipped to redscale in it now. I figure that that will give me a greater margin of error as the aperture and shutter speed is fixed.

I seem to expose film faster than I process it but I am making some progress on the backlog of rolls to be developed. Here are two from last January in Portugal made on HP5 and developed in Rodinal.

Beautiful work, Leon. The Yew tree is just stunning.

SLVR · « **Reply #42 on:** June 04, 2012, 05:20:33 AM »

Do i shoot too much?

First try at Fuji Acros 100 in Xtol. I agitated a little more and a little vigorously on this roll because i read that Xtol and Acros leads to a very grey lower contrast image. My results with the over agitation turned out a little dreamy. Not bad!

Ninja edit* just looking at these i can see maybe i was getting a little too vigorous with the agitation. Sprocket holes look a little overdeveloped.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #43 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:47:34 AM »

tintin: dreamy indeed! the horse shot looks great. really soft like.

and there's nothing called "shooting too much" not that I know of atleast

Thanks Paul. I'm chuffed with it, and even more happy with the print, which really glows. I've never really bothered with N+ development before, thinking that I can deal with it all with MC papers, but the local contrast in the lighter areas of this have really benefited from it. Food for thought.

It's called filmwasting & is to be encouraged

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #45 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:33:30 PM »

no such thing as shooting too much or wasting too much film!!

Jeff Warden · « **Reply #46 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:22:10 PM »

Leon, fantastic. I'm sure seeing the image on this screen is doing it no justice at all, but still it looks quite good. I especially like the yew. I've not seen a negative that large before - it must be something to hold in the hand!

SLVR · « **Reply #47 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:44:43 PM »

I'll keep to shooting at the rate im at!

Info Red · « **Reply #48 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:14:50 AM »

Have a large backlog of stuff I haven't had a chance to post, but am slowly catching up. This is a recent albumen print done as a demo for my students. Truth be told, I haven't done an albumen print in many years, so there are still lots of issues with this one, but the students were impressed, and I was just happy to get something on paper! Hope it's ok to slide it in on a weekend thread.

As it;'s still the week end here in the UK, here's some shots from my ongoing Olympic Village project. These are multiple exposures shot with a Holga 135BC. Two shots from the Aquatics Centre during a warm up event (Diving) and a shot of the stadium at dawn in the depths of winter as I cycled past it
