EoinC Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18281 Posted July 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) M2, 50 ASPH, XP2, Rodinal 1+100, X1 scan: No Entry by chrism229, on Flickr Chris I'm really impressed with what you get out of the XP2, Chris. I see from the film I used last week that it doesn't like to be over-exposed, so I may try under-exposing my remaining roll. Thanks, and keep that inspirational work coming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18286 Posted July 10, 2016 I do NOT like the process of film compared to the ease of digital, and I have been into film for fifty years, however there is no way today to produce the images I appreciate with digital. I am so tired of developing film, however the outcome for wet-printing keeps me in the darkroom. An important distinction between my work and my digital friends is that I do not expect a good print/image every day while they expect dozens of good images per day. Therein is the drift. Frankly, I do not know what to make of it. Criticism is welcome. . Nothing to criticise here, Pico. The distinction (and I use both mediums) comes with digital's expectation of dozens of "good" images. In film, "ok" is nice, and "good" is something to be savoured - quality trumps quantity. Digital certainly has its uses. I'll be shooting an indoor track cycling championship in Switzerland next week, and film struggles with the fast action / low light combination, but I don't expect any works of art to come out of it. I'm fortunate, in that I still enjoy the process (largely because of abandoning photography 30 years ago, so a return comes with a free set of rose-tinted glasses). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18287 Posted July 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) My "scanning" of M/F continues, this an older 500C/M (6x6) Ektachrome EPR100 slide. I've changed tack slightly, "built" a copy-stand that holds my X-Vario (and not just to keep it in the family, the X-Vario does a pretty good job). An Elpro Vib rounds out the optical train. The vignetting is on the original, I suspect (from the deepness of the sky) that I used a polarizing filter (as you did last century), and this may have vignetted. Gary I like this, Gary! Good work on the copy-stand. I hope you used some No. 8 bailing wire in there somewhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18289 Posted July 10, 2016 I like this, Gary! Good work on the copy-stand. I hope you used some No. 8 bailing wire in there somewhere. Not really too much #8 wire, and I suspect you'll have to explain that to the masses too. You asked, as did Henry, so I figured a couple of pics to explain might assist. Not pretty, but it will tie me over until I work something else out. I has the camera obviously. The LED light came from a back street in HK last year. The Canon focus rail I had, and the upright piece of alloy was from a telescope part I had sitting in the workshop. All I required was a base, and I jointed two sections of off-cut cedar that I had lying about. Cut them to shape after the glue joint has cured, and ran it through the thicknesser. The beauty of this is the smell, pure heaven freshly cut cedar, oh boy. Gary Welcome, dear visitor!

too old to care Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18291 Posted July 10, 2016 A few from Korea. I lived in a small town in the south. While there they had the Cherry Blossom Festival. I learned that they actually have more cherry trees than Japan. This series is from that festival. First three, more to follow. Welcome, dear visitor!

gbealnz Posted July 10, 2016 Share #18296 Posted July 10, 2016 Nice work, Gary. Combining photography, woodwork, and back-shed tinkering - What could be better than that? Better? A "real" M/F scanner I reckon. But this comes at a cost, something right now I can do without. Maybe one day. Maybe. But the real use is for the SWC, and that is still in it's probationary period, heck, you might end up with it yet. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, one from recently. Hasselblad, Tri-x rated at 200, Canon flatbed scanner. Rodinal 50:1. To me the image is a bit busy, but I liked the reflections in the water. Welcome, dear visitor!

The sooner you offload it, the better. It's making your life miserable, but you can't see it because of the brave, battler, face your putting on. The best thing would be to give it to another miscreant, preferably one living in KL, with a first name starting with "E". It's the only realistic solution... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
