One needs also to be careful with things that light up in the darkroom, like phones etc. I've never used plastic reels so this may not apply to them, but what I like with steel reels is that they need not be perfectly dry before being loaded again. About changing bags, an alternative is a changing "tent" which doesn't collapse. I use this one from Photoflex. Im using the plastic reels, and yesterday it was a breeze, today not. I will look for some steel reels. The Apple watch sh!t itself, I guess its not to happy about getting slung across the room..............no more fogging though :) Fantastic Ian.

stray cat Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34423 Posted June 14, 2017 I see the inspiration from Cape Light is already materialising Very nice. SUPERB landscape Phil If you have more please post The cloud in foreground gives a bit dramatic aspect Take care of the radioactivity Thank you Henry This is great Phil. I love the impending gloom from the cloud as its threatens the tiny almost insignificant boats in the sunny distance. Leica also produced some thorium glass in some of the, if I'm not wrong, summicron 5cm lenses. Phil, i always say you photographer is a dangerous job ... but your picture of dramatic sky is superb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thorium Thank you sincerely Philip, Hartmut and Doc. I must admit I try to distance myself from the thorium lens when not using it. I didn't know Leica had some lenses made with it, but it doesn't surprise me as obviously it has some brilliant qualities for optical glass. Has anyone had experience with any of these lenses? As for inspiration from Cape Light - almost certainly, as I've pored over that book A LOT over the years. Would like to think something has rubbed off - will be so interested to see the light in Cape Cod! Thanks, also Hartmut, for noticing the scale which i think is an important part of this picture, especially the size of the yachts. It appeals to me, I'm really glad you noticed it. Haha. One needs also to be careful with things that light up in the darkroom, like phones etc. I've never used plastic reels so this may not apply to them, but what I like with steel reels is that they need not be perfectly dry before being loaded again. About changing bags, an alternative is a changing "tent" which doesn't collapse. I use this one from Photoflex. Fantastic Ian. A truly terrific macro shot. I use plastic reels and they most definitely need to be bone dry before you attempt to load film - if not, you are doomed to frustration. Like Philip I use the Photoflex tent - this would be far more suitable for you Neil, especially when loading large format. When loading 35mm or 120 patterson reels I always bung in an extra one just in case I can't get one to load for some reason. BTW a good trick if your 120 just won't load - unwind it from the paper backing completely, tear it off the paper, and load it with that taped edge first - even better if you have some scissors and just nip off the very corners. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both , it's all great . If you ask me , I say the natural side of film is better versus digital For better definition, may be you post processed when post here for this picture isn't ?

sblitz Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34430 Posted June 14, 2017 Steve , great pictures and color is wonderful Thank you Henry Thanks Henry and everyone else! Always appreciated. Quick note -- the X-rays did NOT effect the film (fast typing last created a typo that I wanted to correct). Adam told me it wouldn't, i was skeptical because it is 800 speed film and he was right -- and no shmootz either :-) (So far) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34438 Posted June 14, 2017 My experience with 120 film is that, once dry, it is usually pretty flat; it does go through some pretty severe contortions while drying. Once dry, some curvature, side to side, but not much. An exception to this was Lomography 120 film, which arched pretty drastically. So bad that it was almost impossible to load in to holders for scanning. With my first roll of hand-developed 120 film I made the mistake of attaching a clip to the bottom of the strip while it dried...You know, the way you do with 35mm strips that are drying. Big mistake: to my horror, when went to check how the drying was going, the strip of film had stretched to the point that it was not that much wider than 35mm film. Miraculously, once I took the bottom clip off, it ended up being normal dimensions when the drying process was complete. Wayne, Say after me: "LSD is not a developer."

philipus Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34440 Posted June 14, 2017 I also like 'mistakes' like this (and really hope it isn't from the lens; if it is, we may have to change that old saying to photography may be hazardous to both one's wallet and one's health ). You asked for more, Henry - and I think this is what happens when you leave the thorium lens on a camera loaded with film for too long: I like the effect in this picture, but I don't think I'll be sleeping with the lens under my pillow anytime soon. Neil and Jean-Marc, thank you very much. This photo reminded me that I need to order more Ektar as I've run out Love that Phil Wow, stunning ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
