a lovely start; I can smell the dust...

For myself, I picked up a nice little Bronica ETRSi in Seattle and took it for a test drive last Sunday with a roll of Portra 160 in it. I like the way this shot turned out, but the sharpness of the lens really took me by surprise.

Finished scanning my stuff from Chicago last week, a couple of car shots here. Will be moving there in a few weeks, so lots to explore!

SLVR · « **Reply #4 on:** August 31, 2012, 04:02:50 AM »

^love your car shots, always seems to bring me back. The look of the photo and the subjects inside. Your camera is like a time portal into the past.

a little Photoset, getting cupcakes from the bake shop! BTW, we got the two "black forest" ones left. They were tasty.

A pair of creamy cakes? Or is it more about the unwrapping?

How do you follow that?! Infrared time for me again from a small wood I discovered close to one of my favourite spots for trees. It's on the side of a valley which makes squaring up interesting.

Haven't posted anything for a few weeks but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying all the superb images that you've all been posting and this week is no exception!

Love Volker's church interior, Sean's Chicago cars, the cup cakes!

and Calbisu's delightful Sudanese set.

A few images from me taken on and around the Ridgeway in Wiltshire.

I was grinning at that third cupcake shot...and then again after Sean's comment

So Sean, you're moving to Chi Town? Wow. That'll be a different kettle of eels to Arizona. I hope the move works out for you and I'm already looking forward to the photos you'll take in your new base. Bring it on!

I've been away from FW for a while, sorry for not joining in too much in recent weeks, but I have been lurking. Was on holiday/vacation down in Cornwall for a couple of weeks, followed by a couple more back home in London helping to look after the kids until they go back to school....it's at the point now where next Thursday can't come soon enough!!!

I did manage to shoot a ton of instants down in Cornwall using my Bronica S2A + home made lens + expired 125i peel apart combo. I've scanned all of the decent ones, but have only post-processed 4 or 5 of them. Hope to catch up soon....but probably never will. Anyway, here are 3 for the weekend and I'm guessing you'll be able to tell from the shots that we didn't have the best weather for our holiday!!

Glad to see you back. I too can't wait for next Thursday. With the basement that's still not done, my lab which is a storage locker, my dad's car that broke and had to be replaced... times are hard.

Volka - such powerful tones!!!

Sean - I love, love those cars, particularly the 1st one. Congrats on the impending new chapter - I've no doubt you will do Chicago and the surrounding area proud with your fabulous style.

Carlos - this series continues to stick to my ribs. It's beautiful and mesmerizing. Love these crisp, inky images!

Paul - gorgeous trees! and then I came to the color "Windows"-esque image and almost fell out of my chair!! LOVE!

Ed - what a dream, what a dream!! The first one, the feeling of isolation and desolation pairs nicely with the oblivion of child at play. And the horses mane in the wind... ohhhh!!!

Wonderful weekend thread shaping up. I managed to catch up with some of the developing backlog, but not the scanning. Managed to scan a couple of rolls of Fomapan tho'. These 2 shots are of the Ballachulish Bridge taken using a pentax espio (back in May).

Hello fellow Film Wasters!

I've been a long time lurker and now that I've finally registered, I'm a first time poster. I always look forward to the weekend thread and this week has not disappointed.

Below is my modest contribution. I had the great pleasure to see an exhibition of Editta Sherman's portrait work at the West 57th Gallery in NYC and the day I happened to visit, Editta was there for an interview with one of the local network affiliates. I snapped this quick photo during the taping. Not only did I get to listen in on the interview, but afterward my girlfriend and I spent quite a while chatting with Editta about her work and life. She's an absolute charmer and even at 100 years old she shows no sign of stopping.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2012, 06:05:29 PM »

Hello there, Mr Gavechase, and welcome to FW. I've just trawled the first few pages of your Fickle stream and there are some excellent photos there. I have friends in Brooklyn who we haven't visited for several years, so I'm always up for pictures of Prospect park and its surrounds. The A Train photo is amazing too, BTW!

Paul M: Thank you very, very much for the comment above. You know how much I think of you as a photographer, so your feedback means a lot. Maybe I will try and get to work on the rest of the recent photos after all....seeing as how they're all so amazing

gavechase · « **Reply #24 on:** August 31, 2012, 07:05:38 PM »

Thanks for the welcome Ed. I'm glad you like that A train photo, it's one of my favorites as well.

I have no idea who those two gentlemen are. They weren't wearing the masks when the first got on the train, and it took me quite a while to gather the courage to approach them and ask if I could take their picture. They got on at 34th street and I finally took their picture just before the end of the line at 207th street. I was lucky they live in my neighborhood!

charles binns · « **Reply #25 on:** August 31, 2012, 07:58:33 PM »

Lovely work all. Especially like Paul Mitchell, Calbisu and Windy's shots this week end. Another old one from me - will finally get to do some processing this week end though. Nikon F3.

tani.P · « **Reply #26 on:** August 31, 2012, 08:19:00 PM »

I dig all these, good work! I especially like that first shot of the tree, Paul.

Here's a snap on the top of Stone Mountain, GA with the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, CVS (drugstore) 400 film:

Crappy film, but I like how the foreground rock came out.

Late Developer · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2012, 09:49:23 PM »

Brilliant. What a thread so far.

Volker - suberb. Lovely tones and strong composition.
Ed - just beautiful and I echo Mr Mitchell's comments.
Tin-Tin - A really nice series and I shall never look at cup cakes in the same way again

Calbisu - beautiful studies, as ever....
Paul Mitchell - some of the best I've seen posted anywhere for a long time. Stunning.
DA Watts - gorgeous shot. Just down the road from me - so I'll have to investigate

My entry is a shot of some daisies taken with Mamiya 7 / 150 lens at Sissinghurst (National Trust house) in Kent last weekend. Kodak Provia 160 scanned and converted to mono.

SLVR · « **Reply #28 on:** September 01, 2012, 04:22:12 AM »

Paul those shots are flippin gorgeous. I have to agree, some of the best I've seen here.

Thanks for the comments everyone above as well, though i wasn't trying to throw an underlying message into the photo its actually quite hilarious that's how it turned out. I see it too!

I went to the beach with my UWS and Agfa Precisa. These ones come without hidden messages haha!

Superb start gavechase. Welcome!

My photo week has been dominated by the sad news of Efkes imminent closure... been trying to find some film to fill the fridge and I think I'm safe for a couple of years now. But still...

So, here's to Efke IR film:

As always. Too many great shots to comment them all.

The first holga pan from Alan really caught my eye. Just lines and geometry, and great.

calbisu always amazes me. This week is no exception.

Great shots, Magnus! I still haven't tried IR, yet even though I've had a Hoya filter for at least 1 year now. Have you tried the Rollei Infrared 400S? That seems like a possible replacement.

This is a stunning week. Sean, Paul, Ed, Carlos - wow!

Gavechase, welcome - I look forward to seeing more.

Sean, good luck with the move. Can't wait to see how you see it!

Mine? Hasselblad SWC/M - Fuji 160C in Arizona earlier this year.

Team...an all round fantastic collection of images. Thanks for being so damn talented and inspiring. I just wanted to drop back in and give Magnus a pat on the back for his 'For Efke...' photo. Extraordinary!

...amd Carlos, firstly, I'm really glad that Team Albisu is back together again and secondly, that portrait of the smiling girl is simply wonderful.

So I was getting some old camera gear ready to list on *bay and I found a roll of Tri-X in a Nikon F. Naturally, I halted the listing preps and souped it. Couple of frames I liked in there:

Magnus · « **Reply #40 on:** September 02, 2012, 12:15:45 PM »

Thanks Ed

Urban, I have not tried any other IR film besides Efkes. I think I've seen somewhere that Rollei retro 80S captures a bit in the IR-spectrum so it should be able to do IR images with a good IR filter.

kenny · « **Reply #41 on:** September 02, 2012, 04:52:05 PM »

Some really great stuffs this weekend folks!

I really like calbisu's Ehtiopia series, Ed's shots by his homemade lens, Ann's polaroids, and Magnus' IR pictures.

Here's one from last rainy Saturday. Pentax 67ii & 400H.

Ed's Polas (sorry about the terrible cornish weather - hope you had some good times)
original ann pola's
charles binns - is that daymer bay/bray hill? (my neck of the woods)
calbisu's portraits - always epic

I've shot a load of polaroids today at the world bellyboarding championships here in Cornwall but yet to scan. here are a few from the Bronica S2 and sensia 100. still getting used to the camera.

magnus: yummy IR-shots. a nice tribute
phil b: ok, this shot just does it for me. it's like a conspiracy! haha how everything is lines up to make a good shot. and that's not even mentioning the colours

LD: MORE!!
kenny: saw that shot in your stream and I dunno what to say about it. it's very good but I don't know why(!!!) it feels very contemporary
windy! your son shows some promise with a camera. one of the best shots this weekend if you ask me

here's two out of 85 shots from a great outing and photowalk. sometimes you're having more fun than taking great photos

vivitar ultra wide and slim fed with expired solaris 200

calbisu · « **Reply #48 on:** September 03, 2012, 05:46:01 AM »

So many great pics this weekend, but not really a surprise, its great to be part of this great group

Kenny, fantastic urban landscape, as usual
Chalky, that second one irradiates happiness. I am sure they will cherish it
Windy, that´s a great portrait of you!

And thank you all for your nice comments, a positive feedback is alway welcome

I personally loss objectivity when staring at my pictures, and sometimes I would choose pictures rather because what they mean to me (the process of taking it) than the picture itself, so I appreciate receiving opinions. The shot of the two ladies in the village I enjoyed pretty much taking it. I spent good 10 minutes with the ladies and there was a bunch of people as spectators behind the scene, we ended laughing at each and that was good, of course the Polaroid is alway good at opening people to you.

Ed, thank you for your good wishes, it´s good to be reunited again, the house was too quiet
