It's a touch early here on the left coast, but most of the rest of you are soundly into Friday, so here goes. Dedicated to my sweetie who is out of town for 10 days. $:-\$

I put a new mirror in my Reflekta and tried it out - but I guess the shutter is fast.

The focus checks out fine which was more what I was concerned about after fiddling with the mirror. Forgive the quality here as I don't have a scanner that works with 120 and had to invent my own light table to copy these.

got a new lens, old brassy - taken it apart, looks like a modified Petzval, Jamin of Paris - must be late 1850s
it doesn't cover 4x5, so was probably quarter plate, or carte de visite
its a bit bonkers with a very curved focal plane, you can get the centre in focus, or the periphery in focus, but not both at the same time, its a portait lens really, but had to see what it could do on Wednesday

Another from recent wanderings about the Hudson Valley. Rolleiflex Standard on Kodak Ektar. I'm still impressed by what this old thing can produce, particularly given how ratty it looks; shooting an uncoated Tessar without a hood more or less straight into the sun shouldn't really work at all, let alone work reasonably well.

forgot to say love that pinhole pano, Kevin

and I want that BMW motorbike, gorgeous

Love that shot of Hudson Valley.

I just have a snapshot I just found again of a Llama taking a sunbath taken during summer last year. Made me laugh when I saw this at the zoo.
At first I thought something was wrong with it, but it was just enjoying the sun.

Between work and some xmas projects I have not had time to shoot. But one of my xmas projects is film-related. I am putting together a book of BW pics of the kids, so I am looking at all my old stuff. I don't normally post old photos, but as I am working with them currently, I think that gives me an excuse

BTW, while an 'old photo' it is not as old as it looks. It is <15 years ago. He always is dressed in these pics like he is from the 1940's. Maybe he was a proto-hipster back then (Hungry Mike don't tell him I called him that haha).

I remember when it happened. Hiking on a trail and my son did what anyone could do that could climb into a hole in a tree... he climbed into it.

Donkey Dave and O2 Pilot - lovely.

A very old one from me - haven't been able to shoot much recently. Lago Chungara in the Lauca National Park in Chile. Lago Chungara is the highest freshwater lake in the world and was packed full of flamingos.

calbisu · « **Reply #13 on:** December 06, 2013, 08:40:35 PM »

Photo Utopia, those portraits are looking great.

Last week I went to a shepherd dog contest. I shot few times and I thought being unobtrusive, but it was clearly not the case, at least I have not lost the ¨nerve

Something topical from me, given recent tidal surges along the east coast of England. Dunwich beach a couple of weekends ago.

I don't know why but looking at that image makes me want to take up welding, or metalwork...

An alternate for the recent collaboration...took the original shots in 1988, made the lithos in 1990. Pretty sure I originally made the lithos looking for something to turn into silkscreens.

Hungry Mike · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2013, 05:54:19 AM »

Ok my first weekend post so please be gentle:

Pen FT, 40mm 1.4f shot with expired Neopan 1600 pushed in Xtol to 6400.

McDuff: That is one of my favourites. We weirdly have a similar problem with Seb, partly our doing and partly his, that he always seems to be wearing clothes or combinations of clothes out of time. And your kids know that it is their parents that are the hipsters!

I found an old film (partially used too it seems) from about 1991, loaded it into my old Ricoh Auto Half, and gave it to a digerati friend and he made this:

'Wow', he said. 'What sort of film camera do I have to buy now?', he asked. There's hope yet! Skj.

some nice stuff, this weekend.

hungry mike: good diptych I like the black against white and then the other way around

sean: I wouldn't mind seeing more of these! I think I saw one over at tumblr..?

fluminian: I'm liking the light and all details!

flippy: nice work on fixing that camera! what film were you using btw? I like the colours~

skorj: talking about colours... yum!

now, talking about old film. I dunno when the date went on this pack of plus-x (long ago, still). from the same film that I took my 11-11-11 collab shots on.

Mike, LOVE that diptych. Its one of my all time faves.

For me, I got out with my M2 again (yay) with some Eastman 5222 Double-X shot at 1600

jharr: that is a hell of an opening shot for the weekend thread!

Fluminian: I am really digging the shadows and angles in all your shots.

Photo_Utopia: Talk about detail! I can't even see my own pores that clearly.

Here's my contribution for this weekend. Lubitel 166B with Pan F. More underexposed than I expected, and I messed up during developing a bit because it took me 10 solid minutes to get the #)^Y&$* film into the reel and there were some fingerprints and spotting and unevenness.

But I still got some shots that I like.

Out working late last night. Hair now colouring as I write so a blast from the past from me;

Somewhere over Attacama way. The chap I met in Santiago and we hired the jeep for a week!

Its nothing amazing but it involves my first ever reclaimed fuji neg and the other involves 3000b and a star wars helmet (my brothers 38th birthday)

Here's one from Whitstable this afternoon at low tide (2 days after springs). During the surge on Thursday evening's high tide, the sea came over the top of the harbour apparently. Fortunately no damage done.

limr: those are some strong shots! I was just thinking that they seem to have the perfect exposure to give that particular mood.

andrea: I'm liking yours very much too. such a vast landscape! is that the jeep down below?

As it did mine, limr. We are often our own worst critics and it is amazing the power of a positive sentiment from a peer. Thanks all for making Filmwasters my favorite hangout.
