Thought I would start the weekend early! This from a newly found "Sabre 620"...these were test shots and I am liking the results! ..generic black&white film.

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #1 on:** June 28, 2012, 03:52:21 PM »

Very atmospheric Diane

Well, one more wet plate portrait from me, a tintype, and then I need to start tackling the rolls of film I brought back from China.. been putting it off...

cool tintype suzi! I'm getting quite taken by the look of this process~
diane, good moodfull shots~ interesting pattern going on in the sky. is that on the film? I got your postcard today btw. lovely! arrived safely

volker: liking how you included that black frame paired with a white boarder and the only faces with their front to the camera are the painted ones~

@suzi + jojonas~ thanks :-)

Suzi the tintype looks so cool and raw. I love it.

Some Astia 100 from me this week, in the Zeiss Ikon. Have a great weekend everyone,

I've built up a bit of a backlog and finally got some scanned. Some Portra and some Retro 80S, all shot either in the Exa or Exakta.

Miller · « **Reply #8 on:** June 28, 2012, 04:58:24 PM »

Ooooh, Terry... Love the second shot... All those crossed legs...

Poliweb · « **Reply #9 on:** June 28, 2012, 05:23:17 PM »

I've been wasting Fuji instant films in preparation for a trip to England. Here are a couple of FP-3000B shots from a Crown Graphic. I'm trying to dial in the exposure and latitude of this stuff.

Well started, folks.

Two more shots from the naked bike ride earlier in the month. Rolleiflex 621 and Holga.

Andrea. · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2012, 05:52:40 PM »

Greta start to the week again. Just love that wet-plate. Very tempting to try that one day. But on account of a healing hand after a small op, I've been coating paper with gelatine and Pot. Dichromate, then exposing and washing prior to me getting my hands on some litho ink :-)

But, I did find this developed roll of film.

Sometimes, shooting The Crofter once is not enough.

Another fab (and early) start to the weekend.

Diane - The first one has a wonderful timeless quality

Suzi - You just gotta sit back and admire these tintypes

Volker - A classy B&W

Jeff - Love the colours!

Poliweb - Wonderful detail and welcome to FW BTW!

Sandeha - Could have been taken back in the 60's not last month!

Having resisted the lure of a Holga for many years, mainly due to my love of pinhole, I finally relented and bought one. These are from my first roll so go easy on me all you plastic lens aficionados' . All taken on a trip to London. Film - HP5

Yes WOW! That Holga was made for you Paul!

SLVR · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2012, 06:58:24 PM »

Paul, those Holga shots are really nice! Cant believe its your first results coming from the holga!

Herea a couple Mid week Shots from me. Also posted in my instant club thread

Andrej K · « **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:01:24 PM »

Paul, I wish I had a holga like yours (mine is quite a dog - or otherwise I am completely useless :-) ).. Anyway, great images.

charles binns · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:11:16 PM »

Paul, those are stunning. Holga loaded with redscale, multiple exposure. Tlayacapan in Mexico

Chalky · « **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:13:51 PM »

wow great pics all, especially drawn to jeff's / terry's seated ladies / poliweb's / sandeha's vintage feel and Pauls amazing first holga shots.

2 more from me with portra 400, first roll through my new Bronica S2

Another of dad, shame he has his eyes half closed, and stella the dog, ready to chase something at the beach.

calbisu · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:14:16 PM »

Wow, that was a quick and strong start of the weekend!

Paul, your Holga shots are simply beautiful, and I am not a fan of HOlga myself (maybe because I tried and failed miserably), though I guess I am becoming one

Poliweb, nice second one, I treat my fp3000b as 6400 ISO
Sandeha, that first rider looking great!

One from the Rolleiflex, shot at 2.8f with 1/60 it was already pretty dim light. Managed for little Alma to be seated for 1/60

Holy smokes!
I go to jury duty this morning and come back to find all these amazing photos for the weekend posted!
Love the Holga shots Paul, I think the Holga is happy in your hands.

Little Alma is preciosa!
And she and I wear the same shoes, only mine are quite a bit larger!
Lovely start all!

Thank you for you nice comments Mike and Becky; yep, it´s fantastic to see little Alma growing bit by bit not only on real life but also through the camera

CJ, don´t despair, no pain no gain

jojonas~ · « **Reply #24 on:** June 28, 2012, 09:37:30 PM »

terry! that one with the girls made me laugh out loud haha. all those crossed legs and all attention on the smartphones. it's almost too much! like some weird flash mob or something

tintin: those leaks quite fit the subject matter. nice mood to these!

calbisu: that's.. just a great shot. kudos!

welp, while getting my bike home this evening I decided to pop by the darkroom and get my lith prints. here's those two that I succeded with getting something decent on the paper

first I think I put up last weekend, it's shot with my bronica C and some fomapan 200.
the second is a shaky holga shot with a close up lens and the old receipt trick over the flash~ shot on ilford pan f+

Nick Moys · « **Reply #25 on:** June 28, 2012, 09:58:06 PM »

Great stuff everyone. Specially like Paul's Holga shots - they seem to get (even) better every time I look at them! And another great portrait Carlos.
Just finished my last 35mm roll from my April trip to the Brecon Beacons.
Happy weekend shooting. Nick.

Paul, those Holga shots are just stunning, miller, digging it, but, feeling CJ's tumble - I knew there was a reason why I never tried skiing! jojonas, lovely. Fab stuff from one and all.

miller high five! love the shot! Everyones holga stuff is really inspirational. One day i will get one. Im on this instant kick for now. I'll look into the holgas in a couple months probably. I have to try this.

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2012, 10:00:46 AM »

Thanks for all the great feedback on my Holga images... you've inspired me to try another film now!

Charles - the redscale has certainly accentuated the heat and dust

Chalky - love the connection!... dad with a pint and a dog called stella!!

Calbisu - an endearing portrait of innocence

Jojonas - that first lith is a corker!

Nick - you do do some very classy B&W work

Phil - I never tire of your images

Gary - hopefully my new Holga will develop light leaks as good as this!

Becky - wonderful colour! looks like a scene from Bonnie & Clyde!

Paul

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #36 on:** June 29, 2012, 12:22:39 PM »

Carlos that's an amazing shot. And what's even more amazing is that Alma stayed there long enough. Athina can't hold still for more than a second ... Paul these are great! But now I have Leon's Coronet Commander so I guess I'll hold off on a Holga for a while (BTW, Leon it looks awesome with the new black leatherette

).

volker: liking how you included that black frame paired with a white boarder and the only faces with their front to the camera are the painted ones~

Quite agree about Suzi's wonderful new work!! very interesting..as far as my image that sky came right out of the camera..thinking this batch has scratches as a result of something in this old camera cause it was through the lot...not sure how to resolve this issue.!

Thank you Urban! It was a risky shot

because the low light I underdexposed 1-2 stops, and I prioritized having a minimum speed of 1/60 and risking with the swallow DoF. Then of course Alma would not stay still... but it went well!

With the pentax 67 things get smoother and I can even risk some shots on the move, with the Rollei I have to take it easier.

Jonas, lith prints, when I will have a darkroom I will for sure have to try that, it really looks great and not too complicated

Nick, always a classy

Becky, that Diana seems to be in loved with Ektar

Andrej K · « **Reply #42 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:44:39 PM »

Yes, liths are good!

Anyway, tonight I resisted the urge to lith a couple of new negatives, instead I brushed off my brushes, so to speak, and tried to ink a couple of bromoil matrixes that I made yesterday.. Well, I have to say that it didn't go too well, but considering that this was my third attempt and one after almost two years pause I didn't call that too bad.. I'll try to show them tomorrow or the day after - tonight they would quite destroy the scanner, as the ink has to dry properly...

So much great stuff this week. Sandeha I love the first image of the girl with flowers in her hair. Oh wait, she's also naked. I like that too. Why can't we have naked bike rides in Philly?

Paul, the Holga images are really nice, making me want to take mine for a walk.

Carlos, that was perfect timing - you got her right when her cuteness peaked. You must have known you nailed it when you pressed the button!

Re-discovered dome old slides I'd taken on a children's holiday camp taken about 20 years ago on Kodak Extachrome 200. These were taken on the coach journey back to base after a day out.

I wonder where they are now and what they are doing?
