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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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 :-(
