A bit of fun from years ago when we were trying a few local photo club competitions.

I forget the exact "subject theme", likely water or similar?

Wool caught on a wire fence along the Wansdyke in Wiltshire.

 

 

 

 

Ian I did not know that these flowers (clover ?) are so nice in b&w.

I'll have to try to take some pictures

In the second photo, it's the attached sheep wool on the fence ?

Thanks for sharing

Very alluring, Marc. And the colors and skin tones are excellent

Thanks a lot Adam! I also did the shooting with a digital camera and had more problems with the light situation. With film it was very easy and I had to change absolutely nothing with Lightroom.

best regards

It's cow parsley, Henry. An umbellifer (and member of the carrot family) that grows in profusion along hedge banks and roadside verges in spring (and flowers throughout May). Sadly, most of the classic blossoming plants of the hedge and verge have finished flowering for the season apart from the lovely wild roses (sweet briar, dog rose, etc.), brambles, and some very late Elder. Of course, there are still many beautiful plants in flower (some of the late orchids such as the Pyramidal orchid, countless different vetches, the red campion is still around, the many yellows of bird's foot trefoil, ragwort, agrimony, etc.) and there are still many to come (the lovely blue/purples of harebell, knapweed and the scabious flowers). Here in southern England, most of the pasture has still yet to be cut and the grasses are above knee height with the most wonderful variety of sedges and grasses.

 

Yes, the wool on the fence has come from sheep rubbing themselves against it (presumably either deliberately or as a consequence of walking closely alongside).

Marc film is unbeatable and when I see the digital invasion

I ask myself the question, if people only seek what is fast

instead of seeking what is beautiful  .

What crazy period

The good side to this, Henry, is that digital has made photography more accessible to people than it has ever been in the past.

Yes Eoin  I agree with you we can now also shoot .... with our smartphone

Yes "practical" sure but not "artistic" in the true sense of the term , I remind you Monet

Watch a Monet painting that remains in our mind

Watch a real nice picture that remains

Look at a picture of smartphone .... Bof

 

.... and sometimes you can ask this type of question

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[chrism]

Yes, Chris, can you please share your semi-stand programme?

Thanks, Eoin

 

For XP2 exposed at ISO200:

I use 1+100 at 20ºC, remembering that there is a 5 or 6ml minimum to develop a film. So for 35mm or 120 tanks, I simply place 5ml Rodinal (Blazinal in my case) in a graduate, fill with 20ºC water to the 500ml mark and a few drops extra. More volume than needed to cover a 35mm film, but the volume is needed to supply enough developer.

Pre-soak film in 20ºC water for 1-2 minutes while you pour out and mix the other solutions.

Pour out water, add developer, and invert gently six times, set timer for 30 minutes.

At 30 minutes invert six times, gently. Set timer for 30 minutes more.

You can use stop bath or simply a water rinse: should be more or less developed to completion.

Fix as usual, which for me is Ilford Rapid Fixer for 5 minutes, inverting four times every minute.

Fill and drain tank seven times for a wash

PhotoFlo in the eighth fill. Hang to dry.

 

(I have used exactly the same regime with HC-110, and it works. Produces less grain than Rodinal with faster films ISO400 and up).

Simple Henry, magic.

 

An old tap I had in the workshop. Painted it red. Made a fine metal pipe the fitted into the outlet side of the tap and fed the water up and into it. Being closed the water couldn't go anywhere except back down the thin white pipe.

 

Magic. Just don't tell anyone.
