Fantastic weekend.

Love Phil´s truck, Paul´s first pinhole, Peter´s Rollei shots, and Leon´s path.

Got to test run my DIY Polaview camera, and found a number of things that need correcting, first and foremost the bellows do not stand up to bright midday sun. But covering them up before drawing the darkslide at least enabled me to take me this, a slight tilt to get both foreground and shed in focus. The shed is indeed that wonky.

I was shooting 15 years old Portra 400 today. One film with Olympus IS-1000 and one with Ricoh Mirai 135.
When I developed the films I was very disappointed - negatives were thin and instead of the usual orange
mask I had brown one. I've got 3 more rolls of the film and I need an advice on how to expose and develop
them.

Here are several usable shots from today:

It's Leon's second shot that grabs me the most.

It's a long weekend so more trees. Or rather, two from one tree ...

Thank you Paul! Sandeha, fantastic photos! I love the second one a lot.

Late entry by yours truly!

Expired Provia 400 (1997) DIY C41 exhausted chemistry (i think) Holga!

Stornoway on the weekend? More like Delft in the 17th century. Brill.

Windy · « **Reply #63 on:** May 27, 2013, 09:01:52 AM »

Thanks Sandeha - a combination of Holga and expired film?

Fluminian · « **Reply #64 on:** May 27, 2013, 12:13:05 PM »

Congrats, Leon. Great looking images. Those Germans really knew how to make good cameras in the
fifties and sixties and ... I really love my Voigtläder Vitomatic IIa, but I don't have any medium format
compacts from the time. Note to self: "Browse those www.njuskalo.hr ads soon."
In fact I'll look it up now...

What do you think of this one for $40?

Incidentally, did you use yellow filter on the last shot?

Rafael Morales · « **Reply #65 on:** May 27, 2013, 02:43:10 PM »

Awesome photos! I give you deep fried cheese!

@Phil: Great !!!

@Andrej: Where were you in France ?

As always great work !!! Really awesome I'm impressed.

More Yashica Mat 124g, my first roll with it, some super expired/grainy HP5:

Yglotte - it was a very quick trip - Massif de Chartreuse, short stay near Dompierre sur Bresbre (Abbaye des Sept Fons), after that some time in Jura, near Champagnole. Hopefully I'll be returning to France in the Autumn, I need to spend more time with my camera there..

Holiday weekend, so I get a day of reprieve from the weekend deadline.

A quickie from a couple of weekends ago, I believe this is from my second-to-last roll of Ferrania 200:

I'm a sucker for ghost signs.

Hopefully some Kentmere 100 scans this evening.

After a failed attempt last week with X-Ray film I researched a bit regarding development and gave it another go yesterday. Far from perfect, but a step in the right direction. I just need to refine the development process a bit more and find a way to handle the super-scratch-prone (can I claim artistic intent for scratches? No? Fair enough) emulsion far gentler.

I did yes - BUT, well controlled development and exposure will always help with skies things too. This shot (an old one) was taken without a filter at all - just good development and careful burning.

Great shot and darkroom technique.

Since the weekend was long, here's one from my homemade 5 x 7 pinhole box made yesterday.
Harman Direct positive paper exposed for 3 minutes and marinated in caffenol for 4 minutes.

leon, lovely photos! it's a treat having you join in the weekend thread

and as expected, your darkroom provess shines again! what would you say one needs to think about when exposing to give the clouds a nice separation?

jack johnson and tintin, I really like your straight on shots here~

Harman Direct Positive Paper in 4x5 Anniversary Speed Graphic, Fujinon 135-f/5.6 lens.

Due to the deep shadows in the print, my scanner has a problem rendering these direct positive images without lots of noise. I ended up photographing this print using my Lumix G5, then processed the file in raw with some adjustment to the blue channel curves for a faux toned image. Photographing the glossy paper is difficult, even with a copy stand, because the subtle curves of the paper cause inevitable reflections; I had to angle the print relative to the G5's focal plane to reduce reflections, which also gave me more shallow DOF than the print actually has.

That's beautiful, JoeV. I love deep blacks in a photo.
