Really nice work, guys.

I'd never heard of "Osanpo" until this morning but, having checked the definition, it's something I've done (sporadically) for years - and very recently on our trip to Marrakesh. Here's a few "Osanpo" shots with a scooter theme. Leica M6TTL with Ilford XP2 Super:

Miller, that's scary..

Well, couple of shots from my Holidays in Spain, I got a new camera and had opportunity to literally waste tons of Polaroid 4x5 film 90% of it had the chemicals dried. It was one frustration after another until I realized that I was doing things right but the film was wasted.. It seems I will be able to use some 59 and 54 film, still far from OK, which is quite frustrating after dragging the big polaroid boxes from USA to ASIA, then to Africa and then to Europe.. which made me keep thinking that being an expat and shooting polaroid might not be compatible

Wonderful shots! Miller, your pic is really scary but good!

Well, trying to add something to this weekend thread before Magnus (as we often go to the same places) I throw in some of my photos from last weekends Wet plate workshop.

My very first plate. A portrait of Magnus:

And then a portrait of our Wet plate Master, Christer:

Fantastic shots Calbisu. That last one looks like one of the ladies has fallen down the stairs. Hope she's okay.

Britt - love those wet plate shots. The second one is particularly strong, IMO.

Britt is the model in both. It is said that the wet plate process captures more of your soul than any other photographic process...
I think so too.

I went on a pin-up style shoot a couple of weekends ago and some other the guys were surprised that I was going to use a film camera as well as a dslr. A couple of the guys said they may look into getting back into film as well.

My second ever tintype! Note to self: never shoot tintypes in the wind! Started out calm but with this long exposure it got bad quickley! I still like it though! Using 4x5 Holgamods pinhole camera.

Another IR landscape:

calbisu · « **Reply #32 on:** August 11, 2012, 07:08:33 PM »

Thank you LD and Hookstapped your your comments. Sometime before I had tried to ¨apply¨ angles but it was a bit forced. This was the first time using a camera with a ground glass 4x5 with inverted image and the angles came more naturally, I guess that looking to an inverted image kind of helped, as when use an inverted image the composition is enhanced as individual elements loss its individuality in favour of the whole image.

Two more images, this time with Polaroid 108 but same camera.

loving the redscale, the weplates and mabs IR landscape (really want to try it at somepoint)

oh and hookstrapped as always producing some great stuff. really wanted to do some high quality gif portraits for ages and youve gone ahead and made it awesome :-p

recently got a load of old films done at my local asda lab (as its well cheap) my friends dad works there and when I Walked in he goes:
" ahhh... mr stone... we had some trouble with your films"
and I said...
"really? did your machines break"
"no but they came out very strange"
he proceeds to show me the mini preview prints they give you and I laugh
"no they are meant to look like this... oh wow these came out better than I thought"
he breaths a sigh of relief but then proceeded to take the piss...
saying
"what.. these are rubbish, most are unusable, you're not into all that lomo crap are you?"
I say
"some of them were indeed lomo films. I only bring my experimental stuff to you as you are very cheap"
"oh really? cheap or crap?"
"bit of both"
"well I hope you're happy, you should have seen the young girls face who was developing them, she was almost crying"
he says running his finger down his cheek
I laugh and apologise I didn't let them know that they would come out "crap" and passed on my apologies to the young lady who had thought she had ruined a customers films :-P

Aaa I love your "crap" photos Thom, I think they are great, especially the one with the girls, and the last one.
Calbisu, yours are favs, as always.
Volker, a beautiful photo of this girl in her blue dress
Charles Binns, you use your Recesky lovely. Really nice pic

And thank you all for your really kind words of my wet plates. Cant tell you how much I loved doing those, and I desperately would like to think they came out this well because of my skills, but I am afraid I owe it all to a great instructor and a bit of luck. But I will do my very best to perform just as good plates in the future, when me and Magnus has started by our selves.
(And I love the plates Magnus made of me, can see my evil soul in them

It is indeed the bike I got into trouble over on the AJS forums... its nowhere near finished, litterally all we have done is taken the seat off and place the new one in place to give us a vague idea of what it might look like. still planning on having a bolt on hard tail made for it so we lose the shocks and the swing arm and probably shorten the rear and front mudguards. then just a good clean and a paint.

miles: love the feel in all of these shots! specially those ansco shots~
diane: it's cool you're doing tintypes now! that first shot is a winner for me. I think the wind might have made the shot better even. a bit of movement in the still life, eh? looks more alive

alan: cool shots from a cool place! stuff like that should be documented~
thom stone: you bring out some good out of that redscale! I actually really like the lomo XR redscale I've shot. I think I read somewhere that they used ferrania film for those. that might've changed though.
anyhow, bummer about the upoading problems, but there are several ways you can upload still.
old uploader: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/?chronic=1
basic uploader: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/basic/
and the desktop uploadr: http://www.flickr.com/tools/ I used to use that actually
hope it works out for you. crashes are never fun

britt, magnus: I am greeen of envy! haha~ those look terrific and I can just imagine how much fun it was getting them done~

hm.. I said to myself that I should not put up any of the liths for the exhibition on here until I was done with all the preparations but I can't hold back! haha.

this was shot with my minolta x-700 and sigma 24mm lens, fed with rollei 400s ir film and I used a 720nm filter for the ir effect. the paper is something I found in the darkroom and I've used kodak lith (diluted at 1:1:~20) for the developing of the print.
