Let the weekend begin! Looking across the Puget Sound at the Space Needle in Seattle. Photographed with a Pentax Spotmatic using a Lentar 500mm f/8 Mirror Lens with a red filter. The film is Ilford Delta 100 developed in Beer.

It's all right here:
http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=8157.0

The Recipe:
Beer (cheap Lager, I used Rainier) - 12oz
Sodium Carbonate (Arm & Hammer Washing Soda) - 2.75 Tsp
Ascorbic Acid Powder (Vitamin C) - 1.25 Tsp
Salt (Morton's Iodized Table Salt) - 1/4 Tsp

Developed at 20 degrees C for 20 minutes. Agitate first 30 seconds then 15 seconds every minute. Normal fix.
Warning - Add the Ascorbic Acid after the Sodium Carbonate to avoid a foam explosion.

Great start! Love the storm clouds.

I got a little red quirrel this week. Zeiss Ikon ZM, Sonnar 50mm @ f2; Tri-X @ ISO 800

Attentive board denizens may have noticed that limr and I have not been terribly active here over the past few weeks. We were on a long-planned summer vacation, and predictably there are many rolls of film to be processed, scanned, and edited; there will be a photo essay in due course. This was not your ordinary holiday, however. Our vacation had an unexpected twist to it: we went to the south of France, specifically Nice, arriving less than a week after the Bastille Day attack. Our hotel was three blocks from where it began.

So, my photo for this weekend is of the iconic Le Negresco, crown jewel of Nice's waterfront hotels. The lobby was used as a triage station on 14 July 2016.

I hink this might be the first time I use the TriX film, and I know understand why is a so much beloved film, it works great the Contax G lenses

Thanks for that. Equally shocking is that they still make Raineer Beer. I can still remember the ad from the 70's. Beautiful photo of Seattle by the way.

Thanks. Rainier is currently made in California by Pabst but they are going to start making it locally again at Redhook’s brewery in Woodinville.

Lovely photos, peeps! Calbisu's first shot is both excellent and hilarious...

As per Sandeha, a couple from me taken on the mountain road we travelled en-route to Hay-on-Wye. Hasselblad Super Wide C, 38mm Zeiss Biogon + Kodak Portra 160.

Blaxton · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2016, 08:21:03 PM »

The little red squirrel and the bubble-face stand out for me. Does it seem to anyone else that they have similar expressions on their faces?

I spent all of June and July in Portugal where I had some time to tool around the Gandara on my bicycle, looking for opportunities to waste film. These three were made on Tri-X in a Century Graphic 23 with a 100mm Tamron lens.

Hmm... Lots of good stuff this week. Seattle always warms my heart. Bubble face, girl between walls and Fluminian's leaves all gave me pause as well.

Faintandfuzzy, is that your first official weekend thread post? What an amazing start! I love it!

Andrej, very glad you & Leonore are safe. That must have been quite a shock

Yes..it is. New to the forum and loving it here. Lots of beautiful work to see and informative articles. And I learned you can develop film in beer. How awesome is that?!?

Thanks!

A couple of shots from Seattle. Just back from a visit that included a tour of Bryan's film studio-in-a-closet.

First is a shot from a parking garage downtown--now infamous in my family because while were gone someone stole my son's laptop out of the car.

Second shot is a new skyscraper going up in Belleview. Both are Portra 160 shot at 400 and souped C-41 (no push!).

It was rather surprising as the news unfolded. We had not been to Nice before, so we weren't sure exactly how close we would be staying to the site of the attack.

Safety was not really a concern. Between the local police, the national police, and the army, security presence was high. You could see that the whole city was a bit on edge, though, as one might expect.

I enjoyed having you over Terry! Sorry to hear about your son's laptop. I like the shot of the skyscrapers going up in Bellevue. That's the town I grew up in, it's a very different place these days.

So many lovely pictures again from everybody. The foamhead, leaves, teasels, flashed night shot and Dianes pinhole stand out for me.

Lost film and found 4 years later, developed last week in homemade C-41 at room temperature. Cheap drugstore film (Fuji?). Minolta 700si, Sigma 2.8-3.5/75-200 lens

Three little test shots of some old FP4 Plus (that's Plus, not +). It's still right on the button and only the interior shot really benefited from the extra stop.

Blackbladder 24.

Late Developer · « **Reply #24 on:** August 07, 2016, 11:51:00 AM »

Those are great, Sandeha.. I'm so pleased that the film is useable. Go carefully, though - there can't be much FP4 Plus of that vintage left out there.....

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #25 on:** August 07, 2016, 12:03:55 PM »

It worked well. I meant to add that I used Ilford DDX as developer to keep the speed up.

calbisu · « **Reply #26 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:40:36 PM »

Beautiful latest additions, I specially liked Peter´s, It´s my favourite from the ¨nocturna¨ series so far.
Diane´s looks beautifully daunting.

Thanks jojonas.

Not much alternative with the SWC as that 38mm is a fixed lens but it does, at least focus fairly close and it's possible to hand hold down to 1/30th quite easily. In fact, I took an interior shot in a church a few weeks ago when I think it was about 1/4th. Tripods; who needs em....??
