Hi everyone. Here are a couple more from my trawl through my "recently scanned, but shot a few years ago" photos.

Sandeha: I love your last one for two reasons. Firstly, I'm always a sucker for the smooth water effect and secondly that wobbly flag stone near the bottom...awesome!

"blood of christ" is awesome. Also like the others a lot, and yes, more poetry is always needed.

Heres one of the rare occasions, when you push the button and you know it will be fine and you pray that nothing will go wrong with the processing: drilled-up aperture (f/4?) on disposable cam, reloaded with long expired (20 years?) noname ISO 200 film, homedeveloped in homebrewed C-41 at room temperature.

Yeah, it's a proper little dink in the symmetry.

Thanks a lot for the friendly comments. Here's another one with the beloved Diana F+ and 38 mm lens on Ektar 100. Again, I knew that would be something when I pushed the button (and also did the rest).

I haven't got anything to post but have enjoyed everyone's contributions so far, in particular Kevin's tree and slvr's blood of Christ.

Great thread so fat but Sandeha's 3rd and Imagesfrugales' station really jump off the page for me this weekend. Mine are a couple more from Amsterdam:

Oh how I miss Amsterdam. One of the world's great cities

Satish: Your shot makes a very good case happy accidents. Long may they continue.

I love the way the three tourists and Spinoza are all looking at the same thing out of frame left, and I especially like Reinhold's 'station' because it shows that you can do all the things you're told not to do and still get a fantastic result. There's such a lot of good stuff up this week! (Glad to see you're digging into that Konica stuff, Bryan, the Satish/Volker collaboration is brilliant, and Kevin has reminded me why I like FP4.) Magic.

A lot of subtle humor about this week, isn't there?

Beautiful stuff so far !!

Spot on, Terry - that's exactly why I took the shot. The (not very) Harley Davidson bike also brought a smile to my face!

As always, you're joining together a splendid set of images. Thanks.

And yes: we always need more poetry.

Jeff Warden · « **Reply #22 on:** July 24, 2016, 10:08:51 PM »

Very nice images this week everyone!

This weekend I developed my first roll of color. It's Portra 400 that expired in '14 but seems fine. But after scanning black and white for so long I'm reminded of how hard it is to get color right. This image was comically bad out of the scanner and needed extreme color correcting, but looks pretty close now. If anyone has a link to a good tutorial for Epson700 scanning I would sure appreciate it.

late one more from me

"Bitten"

x100art · « **Reply #26 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:21:47 PM »

Little late for posting this, but I just developed it last night and scanned it, Kodak Portra 400 . I used 10 to 11-month-old C-41 chemical sitting in the cabinet and the film was left in a hot trunk for a couple days.

These were taken in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk just a few days ago. Notice on the selfie the tie dye t-shirt I made.

The weather was so perfect but just arrived in San Diego on Saturday and it's miserable very hot.
