Advertisement Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Hi Guest JMF, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
A miller Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45962 Posted January 18, 2018 Henry, I am struck by the grandeur of this photograph. It reminds me of a famous landscape painting I have seen in several books, and in reproduction. I have read that Beethoven often composed with intent to present scenes he had contemplated. I would think the great master may have been inspired by a scene such as this. It makes one wonder what is there that cannot be seen.......want to get closer. It is such fun to press the shutter and then to see such a thing appear before you.......A mystery that can be brought forth at any time to distract from whatever may be preying on the mind. Go buy some more of this film. Wayne I have finally found the right home for my Cinestill rolls. Wayne, send me your home address via PM and they're all yours 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45964 Posted January 18, 2018 And here's the Ektar version.... don't remember the exposure time, but it was very long ektar.jpg Adam - you know in advance what I'm going to say - the Acros is quite wonderful - lovely smooth gradations of tone but - the Ektar wins again. Good thing you don't eat all of it and some actually finds its way into your cameras. Have you tried snacking on some 35mm rolls? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45965 Posted January 18, 2018 in the vein of "fun with film" the following shots taken around cannon st station in London, except the underground shot was on the circle line heading from Victoria to Cannon St, was all shot with my 40mm Leica lens and, to the point, with Portra 400 pushed to 1600 and shot at 1200 (ode here to Adam and his mixed-up preference for shooting Tri-x in some formulation I still can quite figure but it does work) .... why not try something silly with color?

Good thing you don't eat all of it and some actually finds its way into your cameras. Have you tried snacking on some 35mm rolls? Ha ha, Phil, thanks for the opinion and no, I don't eat my 35mm film. I actually can't say that I don't like the taste of my 120 rolls b/c after about 5 seconds I start salivating uncontrollably! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45973 Posted January 18, 2018 Nice Steve - the colour seems to work well! I have fond memories of Cannon Street station - back in the 80s I bought a fair bit of used gear from a camera store that was there (Jessops?). Looks like it's been redeveloped since then though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these film stocks are like a ball of clay; they can be molded into any number of forms and renditions True, and you can absolutely take some credit....I am just doing some testing before heading to Africa in March and I don't want to travel with 800 or higher film (x-rays, hand checking etc) so I am trying to see just how far I can push film .... interesting looking in daylight ... will try again ... right now shooting portra 400 at 620 and will develop at 800 .... just to see what happens ... why not? part of the fun of using film, and I might learn something along the way... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45977 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Arrived home from work yesterday, neighbor kid, RC, 11, was standing in his yard. All it took was a frieindly "Hello, RC" and he was all over me with enthusiastic accounts of the various and "mysterious" varieties of tracks he had been following in the snow that day, a school snow day. He described some strange depressions he had found in my front yard, but had not had the opportunity to investigate, as he did not want to go into the yard without my permission. I was tired, but, of course, could not even think about going into the house until I had helped RC determine the nature of the dpressions......Rabbit tracks. What a God-send, RC. I will never again be able to look at freshly fallen snow with the indifference brought on by middle age. It made me notice the cat tracks in this photo from the first roll of film I ran through the Foca. I love watching cats walk across snow. The displeasure is palpable. Welcome, dear visitor!

stray cat Posted January 18, 2018 Share #45978 Posted January 18, 2018 Love the tonality of that snow picture, Wayne. Also the account of your collaboration with RC. And finally the shared knowledge that a cat in displeasure is a wondrous thing (just kidding, cat lovers). You might want to check the film gate and/or pressure plate in the Foca - there seem to be some scratches across the emulsion. Should be easy to remedy. Well worth it as it appears to be a sensational camera - that lens just oozes quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth it as it appears to be a sensational camera - that lens just oozes quality. It took two rolls of film to determine Foca a keeper. It has already been boxed up and shipped for CLA. The below sealed the deal. It is a shot that challenges for the apex position in the universe of "Anything" photos I have posted. But...... Welcome, dear visitor!
