I love the ghost in that first shot. There are really lovely tones as well, nice work.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

This one was taken with Lomo 100 (35mm).

Little time for photography currently, as we're in the midst of some major house renovations. So, one from the archive, of my niece at Grand Canyon.

Pentax MX, 100 2.8, and (I think) Kodachrome

Very nice shots, Kevin. Fomapan 100 is one of my favourite B&W films.

Great start everyone, really like the railway shots Kevin.  I have some shots from my first roll through a King Regula Cita III Rangefinder that I picked up recently.  It's actually a pretty nice little rangefinder.  All of these were metered with the un-coupled selenium light meter on the camera which seems to be working properly.  The film is Ilford Pan-F 50 Plus developed in beer.

Very nice shots everyone. Kevin, very nice results with the Fomapan 100 (one of my favourite films at the moment). The tonality is brilliant.

Here're two shots taken with the Yashica T3 on Fomapan 100.

Hello!

Fomapan 100 looks great, cs1 !! Wonderful detail and tones. I should try it again :-)
I shot my second roll with the Mamiya 6. I loaded a Rollei Retro 400s roll. I wanted to capture the light, shadows and textures at the end of the afternoon ... those wonderful shadows in the walls when the sun is about to set.

Foma 100 was my first bw film after a loooong break. Pentacon Six, 2.8/80mm Biometar, Fomapan 100, Rodinal.

I think that the Fomapan 100 (and also the 400) is such a "well behaved" film. It takes a lot of abuse in terms of wrong exposure and it still yields nice results. I think that it's an excellent choice for box cameras due to its tolerance. And you can easily pull the 400 to 100 by simply using the development times of the 100.

Hi!

Fomapan is also inexpensive ... I used it a lot with the Mamiya C220 and Hapo  66-E

Nice work all. All I've got are a couple shots from a vintage race event about a month ago.

Not sure, if anyone else here is a fan of Theo Jansen's Strandbeests. Some images from the beach in Den Haag.

Another impressive weekend thread. Love Kevin's opening pair.

From a walk, today, along the Blackstone Canal, the Goat Hill Lock—made in an Ondu pinhole camera on Arista 100, developed in Rodinol.

What a great weekend thread! I also like Earl's portrait. I hadn't put my finger on why until Carlos aptly made the Eggleston connection. Great work.

This is another just around the grounds of my workplace. One of the benefits of always having a loaded camera with you is that you can shoot the 'mundane' on a regular basis and occasionally come up with something you like. This was taken on Kodak Aerecon II badly underexposed in the K1000 at iso 125. Developed in diy X-tol 1+2.

Thanks, gents! While I know of Eggleston and have seen a bit of his work in recent years, I can't say I was aware of his style when I shot the picture in 1980. I need to spend some time on the Eggleston website.

Some Fomapan 400 reloaded into a disposable camera then dunked in caffenol.
(another vote for Fomapan here) even though Tri x is my true love.

I shot this last month, but just now got around to developing and scanning.
Someplace in Nebraska...maybe Scottsbluff-ish.....
