philipus Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34401 Posted June 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is very good Steve. She looks completely lonely even though she's not alone. I like the colour too. Capa was right about being close to the subject. just some random shots, none particularly great BUT .... these were shot with Cinestill 800 +82B balancing filter (brings it to daylight) and 2xND filter (read somewhere online that cinematographers like that combo, so I figured, why not try it .... film courtesy of Adam (yes 800 made from US to London back to US with x-ray damage (luggage screened to bring on board, not checked). ... This one is my favourite. A genuine laugh, it seems to me. and these are of a very nice 82yr old woman telling me her life story after the puerto rican parade ended, lovely sweet woman ... 50mm summilux and portra 400 -- I see the inspiration from Cape Light is already materialising Very nice. This photo is made with a very special lens: the Canon 35mm f2 SC lens from 1971. The elements of this lens have a yellow-brown appearance due to thorium used in the glass. Thorium (apparently) is a radioactive material and, with time, the activity of the element somehow causes the colouration of the elements. Anyway, I love the properties of this lens for black and white photography. Some people "clear up" the yellowing by exposing the lens to strong lights for several weeks, but I value too much the effect it gives b&w film. The lens also gives crazily and unusually detailed pictures - it may not show here, but those highlights have abundant details, as do the deepest shadows: Port Phillip Bay, 2012 Canon A1, FD 35mm f2 SC, Ilford FP4+ What reels do you use, Neil? I find that with steel reels it's usually not a problem to get the film on. I use Kindermann but there are other brands too. It pays to sacrifice a roll and practice practice practice. QuestionDeveloping 120 film the first roll is flat after developing. The second roll is arched like a hump back. Any reason why ??This morning I just developed another 2 rolls of 120 and 2 sheets of 8x10. The two 120 rolls were a nightmare to get on the reels (yesterday was a piece of piss). Anyway seeing as I was up Jim this morning I had my Apple Watch on. Low and behold when I got the first roll open the frigging watch told me to breath...... frigging breath......... WTFIWT. Of course I'm breathing I'm loading film you twat..... hence I guess that roll is screwed.There hanging out to dry and will hopefully have some pictures to show later today....... fogged or notNeil Good one, lovely composition.

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 14, 2017 Share #34403 Posted June 14, 2017 What reels do you use, Neil? I find that with steel reels it's usually not a problem to get the film on. I use Kindermann but there are other brands too. It pays to sacrifice a roll and practice practice practice. Good one, lovely composition. 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 :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
