Not sure what the etiquette is, but someone always seems to start this on Thursday?

Wonderful portrait, Dave! I hope our "hobbits" will be soon able to be still for a LF exposure...

So one of the films I was waiting for from AG had my early morning shots from Pett Level prior to the Dungeness meet.

This was one taken with the Yashica D.

Rough and dirty lith-print of section of 35mm neg on polypan-f taken with Retinette 1a in Stornoway. Paper is old Agfa 112.

Dunked in some bleach and selenium - not that it made much difference but it made me feel 'proper' and everything

All great! love the first set of images here. All are stunners. Had to laugh at phil's. Imagine what people driving by must have thought?

Great stuff Andrea ... And I totally get the 'properness' of selenium. It just has to be done - right? Like vinegar on mushy peas or evaporated milk with apple crumble.

Great early start to the weekend. Especially like Peter's Pett Level at dawn. Dave's argyrotype portrait and Andrej's liths too.
Last week had a couple of days with my other half in Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast to celebrate my 50th birthday. Managed to get through plenty of food and drink (and film!). Spent the first afternoon walking from Snape Maltings to Iken by the River Alde, snapping away happily despite the cold wind.

Nick, that is a stunner.

Just goes to show, even at 50, you've still got it

I wish I could remember back that far

Late Developer · « **Reply #17 on:** March 07, 2013, 11:07:00 PM »

What a fabulous start to the weekend thread....

Nick's "Snape" tree is stunning and I also love Peter, Andrej and Andrea's work as well.

Mine is a chap who does "Jack the Ripper" walks around the east end of London and plies his trade outside Tower Hill tube station - just by where I work. Aside from the 1980s "Christopher Biggins" glasses, dresses in late Victorian garb. He's also a former neighbour of "The Krays" and does walks around their former manor.

Terry · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2013, 03:12:13 AM »

I'm really into the textures in Nick's tree shot. Lovely stuff and it makes me want to try some HP5. This shot is Ektar which I'm ambivalent about (on the whole I think I like Portra better) but it captured the russet and blue-grey tones of late winter light pretty accurately. Shot this in my 'new' Gundlach Korona 4x5.

Mab · « **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:34:46 AM »

A real pinata of beautiful images this weekend. I was busy yesterday ending a test roll with my latest toy, an odd looking Konica C35AF2 autofocus p&s. Tri-x @ EI100, xtol 1+1:

Beautiful images, but Nick's tree shot is outstanding. Perfect composition.

it is really a great start of the photoweekend with that image by donkeydave

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:15:24 AM »

A fabulous start to the weekend everyone! If Carlsberg did photography threads it would be this one!

My fave though has to be Nicks, indeed I know this particular tree very well!

Paul

DonkeyDave · « **Reply #25 on:** March 08, 2013, 11:05:51 AM »

Nick that tree image is beautiful

Amazing the second shot Paul!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #27 on:** March 08, 2013, 02:57:48 PM »

Lovely work, Paul. The second one is outstanding.

Andrej K · « **Reply #28 on:** March 08, 2013, 05:24:30 PM »

Paul, these are two most excellent images! Really impossible to put one forward and say I like it more than the other.

KevinAllan · « **Reply #29 on:** March 08, 2013, 05:31:31 PM »

I've enjoyed all the tree shots, and Mab's icy waterfall.

Last Friday I enjoyed a day in Borrowdale - this is Dalt Quarry taken with a Mamiya RZ67, 250mm lens, and Velvia 50:

Nigel · « **Reply #30 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:02:43 PM »

Excellent work everyone. I have to chime in on that second tree as well, lovely image Paul.

These are some test shots, while the weather's been bad I've been messing with the idea of some still life. This was the ingredients for my borscht, about 2 hours before I made it, shot with a Nikon 75mm lens.

calbisu · « **Reply #31 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:13:59 PM »

This week Dave´s is my fave

but then Nick´s is always a first class black and white shot, one day I will do some pilgrimage to that tree.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #32 on:** March 08, 2013, 07:35:40 PM »

Wow, wow, wow! You crazy people keep on upping the ante with these threads and this one is particularly strong. Possibly the best opening 1-2-3 of a w/e thread ever. 'Stonishing.

Guess what? I actually took some photos last weekend. Hurrah!

We went to North Greenwich on Sunday to ride the cable cars across the Thames. It was fantastic and I'd recommend it as a good venue for a London photo meet if/when we ever decide to do another one.

While we were there I managed to take a ton of what look like decent snaps of something other than my family (for a change) and I was glorying in the glow of having had a day which almost felt like real photography for the first time in years. However, as I was looking through the prints when we got home and I had peeled them, I noticed this shot of Amy. It would seem that in the midst of deliberately not taking photos of the family, I may have taken my favourite recent photo of my lovely daughter. Typical.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Mr Bebbington. Nigel, this stuff packs a serious punch.

So who says d*g*tal is faster? We had a snowstorm overnight and I had the remnants of a roll of Rollei Crossbird in my Yashica 44, so I took it with me to work. On the way I passed my favorite park which looked pretty good in the snow and took half an hour to finish the roll. I left work a little early, dropped the roll off at my lab where Pierre, the film tech said, "stick around, I'm running a load of E6 right now". Which I did. Here are a couple:

SLVR · « **Reply #39 on:** March 09, 2013, 01:53:54 AM »

Sounds like awesome luck Terry. Great work on the shots too, Im finding metering with the snow quite difficult!

Terry · « **Reply #40 on:** March 09, 2013, 02:09:57 AM »

Thanks Tin Tin. I used Francois' trick--opening up a stop or so. I also meter twice--once direct and once reflected--and then split the difference.

Poliweb · « **Reply #41 on:** March 09, 2013, 06:54:49 AM »

Some lovely shots. My favourites so far are DonkeyDave's Argyrotype opener (looks like some Petzval swirl there) and Paul's tree.

Last weekend I took my Canon QL17 GIII for another spin - this time with some TMax 400 in it. After lots of wet plate collodion work it's very refreshing to take 36 images in an hour or two!

Here are a couple of the results.

Hey all, superb thread this weekend, Ed that shot is tunning, NIck's tree superb and Pauls 2nd shot also.
Following on with the tree theme and the pooch. Holga and tmax400

excellent work as always. especially loving Ed and Dave's portraits. hope you are paying your models well with extra pocket money :-P

Just some rather uninteresting snaps from my trip this week. old roll but only just finished it off after a bikeride up to sharphill woods nature reserve... sadly my bike got nicked that night so no more pedal powered shoots for me :-(

my first attempt at a stitched up panorama, trip 35 on bw400cn, bit boring I'm afraid but that's Nottingham for you.

Sorry about the bike Thom. But that's one hell of a nice pano. Classic English landscape scene (boring to you maybe but a great photo nonetheless).

Thom: I love the tree shot. Very nice. BTW, my band's playing in Nottingham on May 21st, so if you fancy bringing 300 people along with you I'll put you on the guest list

Lund · « **Reply #46 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:16:49 PM »

I enjoyed this tread. So many great pics I don't know where to start.

Here is one of mine. Had a pile of instants lying next to my scanner half forgotten.

Lund: I like your image very, very much.

Just got back in from an evening with friends and decided to prop my eyes open for an extra 30 minutes in order to scan one of the cable car images from last weekend. I'm pleased with the way it's come out; a nice mix of menace and sci-fi
