Took the Kowa6/HP5 out for a stroll over on the island of Great Bernera. Bit of frost around but lovely all the same. Then I came home and over-developed it!

Now drinking green-tea.

Andrea. I love the shot and green tea soothes away so much!

Terrific landscapes from Ezzie and Andrea. Just my cup of tea.

Got round to developing the last roll from by Morston trip this week.

Bronica ETRSi/40mm lens/TMax100/Finol.

Andrea that´s beautiful, the Kowa is such a nice camera.

One shot I took of my father, brother and myself with the Polaroid 195 and fuji fp100b, I think it might be the first time I have a picture of ourselves. I am the one at the right

12 random snaps from a roll of (120) fomapan 400 taken in the 12 mins between 12.00 and 12.12pm on the 12th of the 12th 2012 using a Holga 120TLR

I took the 'new' Yashica 44 out for a spin Monday in Manhattan. It was gloriously foggy and a bit spooky. Efke R100 stand-developed in Rodinal at 1:100.

Really liking the colours of Phil's Texas picture and Nick's B&W landscape!

Happy weekend folks!

Damn - I should be in bed.

Holga shot on tmax 400. This came from a fat roll with light leaks all over the place. This is one of the few that (barely) came out. Looks like a occult nightmare

It reminds to one of Diane Arbu´s series on the institution for handicapped people.

Thank you, Andrea. Yes, it's lith, of course, on Fomatone paper.. I have also another version on Varycon, but that was later in exhausted bath and shows some "reflected sound of underground spirits"..

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:58:48 PM »

Yes, that highway of Kenny's is a killer. As for the Pontiac, I'm surprised that it fits on Belgian roads $:-\$

Lovely, but then again I am slightly biased.

Quite possibly the best glass in my cupboard, the Kowa Six/Super 66 lenses. I love them, but problem is the shutters stick. My 150 (f3.5 - beat that!) is cranky, but works most of the time. But the 85/2.8 is a nightmare. Been to Ross twice, and still the shutter won't close properly before the mirror goes up. I would hate to give the camera up. Spent the last two evenings getting the film back light tight again.

Canon Cannonet 28 and Fuji Superia 100

Phil - the sun on that shot and the shadows are so crisp, such a contrast to London today.

I've fallen back in love with my XA2. So handy to have in your pocket.

Love 'em - especially Nigel's street shots and Terry's fog....

Mine are a few more from the trip to the Klein / Moriyama exhibition which, coincidentally, gets a review in this weekend's Amateur Photographer....

Nikon F3HP, 35mm/f2 and Ilford XP2 Super.

I'll play again this week. I'm kinda fond of this one.

Mamiya 7II, 150mm lens, expired Fuji Superia 100.

Awesome work all! Nigel, i know that feeling of the XA series. When i get in a roll shooting with my XA its hard to put down.

I'm going to need some filmwasters' help. Im going to get a shot printed for my sister of her horse for christmas. I did a little shoot but am having a hard time picking my fave. I have one in mind but Id love to see what you all think. I want to make sure i pick the best one!

Me? I like the middle one !

Andrej K · « **Reply #33 on:** December 15, 2012, 07:12:41 AM »

The first one does have something filmwaster-ish in, but I like the third one best. Now again it's only your choice..

Miller · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2012, 08:21:12 AM »

Talking champagne, drinking Laurent Perrier Rose mixed with Jacko tunes at the firm Xmas party is a BAD mix... Pun intended... Saw some sights I still can't shake outta my head...

Nice hue to the blues Phil;
Cool rockin' all those 12's together Windy (shame on my Yashica 12); and
Nigel, the first shot is ace and would love to see more street shots of Asian folk in general.

tintin: last one for me. in the first the house on the horses head is bugging me and between the second and the last I think in the last the horse looks calmer and the background works nicely with it.

What Jojonas said. Love all three though..

Tintin, I would say the horse´s personality is best reflected in the first one, I do not kmow that horse though...

Based on his expression, the last one. First one he's a bit startled, second more inquisitive and last one quite happy with the situation. Good job getting his ears pricked in all three though.

Two from the Rollei. First one myself with some friends.

Hi Nigel, yes I develop it myself. Any merit goes to the film not to myself as I do not do anything special, I use Kodak D-76 as developer and follow the times given by the iphone application massive dev chart. This roll I developed it at 27º so developing time was 8´30s. Yes I guess I should have developed it at 21º but to be truth I do not see any differences developing at different temperatures and adjusting the times (I am sure I must be saying something heretic..). I do one gentle tank inversion every minute trying to obtain a lesser contrast and thus higher dynamic range (one more heresy here?).

After developing I play in Photoshop camera raw with the curve and contrast and very light sharpening. In Sudan I used very little contrast but usually I go for a deeper contrast, but then when I got the Rollei that changed. I would say that tmax400 is a very versatile film.

Thanks Carlos, well I like the look you're getting. I've never used any of the T-Max films but I may have to give this a go.
