@ Henry: the same photo actually. But as I have to send it to the Forum thread via Computer, after scanning somehow reluctant baryte paper ( ;.) )  it possibly looses the quality it has when I look at it here on my wall.

 

@ Henry, Neil Ramesh, Brendan, Steve and all: You guys shoot such great pics. In the evening when I get through the thread pages I actually want to say my admiration to all  of You, distinctevely. But You're so fast :-) !!!!

 

This morning, I develloped a film I shot with an Agfa Box from the beginning of the 1930. I'll come back to that in a couple of days. For the week-end, I grabbed out this photo that I took a long time ago - 1994 - I don't remember the film, scanned the photo but the camera most certainly was my wife's Konica Hexar. And the film develloper was - back then - Agfa Rodinal.

Those were the decades of heavy motorcycling from on 1973 to 2010 - my kids on the side-car and my wife following on her solo machine, making the tour de France with humble MZ Sidecar and Suzuki GN 250.

I just purchase second hand in our french forum , this new , never used , lightmeter timer

at the price of 30 Euros. He also gives the paper grade , according to your negatives.

 

Some exciting summer nights at home photo lab ... and happy moment with no computer,

no scanner, only the enlarger and me :)

My Leica M6 is in my mates shop for sale, I like the compactness of the M6 but I just hate the files I get out of it. I am enjoying playing with my LF cameras for now, I have a 4x5 enlarger coming and I will put that in my house in Thailand, as for the 8x10 I love playing with that but unless I only stick with contact prints (which are great fun to make) I will need to use a LF digital printer (I know you hate anything digital) to print anything bigger than 8x10 which for me is fantastic ............best of both worlds

For just one roll, you've certainly had good success Keith, this makes what, 3 or 4 so far?

All looking lovely, the larger format helping perhaps, but the keen eye as well.

As promised, I shot a roll of over the date Ilford film to test this funny vintage Agfa Box camera. At the start, I was pretty sure the result would be zero picture. See by yourself. Far from perfection, but still astonishing pics by this old simple yet venerable camera.

Film is Ilford FP4, - officially good until Feb 2003 ;-) ... and as I am terribly used to TriX 400, I develloped it in HC110 dilution  1:63 for 9 1/2 minutes by mistake.

Amazing results!

Excellent, Brendan.  Especially the first. 

 

Thanks Adam!

 

Hello Brendan,

 

I like your August in Ontario photos.

 

They are nicely done.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

 

Thank you!  Thankfully no snow right now, though there was definitely still snow in the northern end of the province at the beginning of May.

 

Brendan,

 

I like your carefully composed and exposed pictures. IMHO you make excellent use of the Ilford films and the inherent qualities of the Zeiss lens.

Thank you Christoph!  I purchased the Zeiss 50 Planar and 28 Biogon over this past winter, and am very happy with both!

 

Brendan you are the b&w film expert

Superb vanishing line in picture 1

Thank you

Henry

 

 

Thank you Henry!

 

A couple more from the M6, taken earlier this spring.

Could easily have been me Henry, braces an all.

Great shot.

Gary

 

Henry,

 

I really like your picture, a timeless moment frozen in time. Well done.

And while I am at it, thank you for all your nice and encouraging comments.

Thank you Gary and Christoph for your nice comments.

I also like candies when little , especially colored with lots of dyes not good for health

 

 

I look at this cute little boy for a while , he goes around the troley several times

Finally he spotted the flasks of candy that he wanted , not stupid this boy
