I didn't record any info about camera, lens or film. Taken in November 2016.

Shot from home, the village in the foreground below is Mieussy.

Looks like this around here these days...

Welcome Logan and beautiful pictures in b&w 

As I see you like B&w film and you're right because black is black

in film , homogenous black and nice black , not the case in digital

color converted in black

Best

Henry

 

Thanks for the kind words Henry, much appreciated.

Good one, Mike. :)   Here's the frontal view.  I just couldn't resist those glasses...and layers of hoodies  :)

Lovely photograph, Pritam.

What a dream picture, Phil, not only to get a bird passing through the frame at the right moment but also capture it in that pose. And then the clouds in the background...awesome.

 

My son James and I finally got around to developing our first batch of C41 films last night. This is from the roll of Ilford XP2 Super that was in the tank with two rolls of Agfa Vista 400:

What about inside food? Where can that be eaten?

 

Outdoor vittles to be eaten outside. By order of Post Commander.

 

Order! That is what is needed.

Amazing Chris.  Particularly b/c the first one looks like it was taken yesterday during an Island vacation yet the second one (with your very lovely wife) places it decades ago.  The beauty of film.  It's grandeur is consistently maintained, unlike the digital age in which the megapixel count has exponentially increased (resulting in semi-proportionately increasing image quality).  Film is what is was and will be.

So today was bitter sweet here in New York City.  It SNOWED like mad pretty much all day.  With major winds.  I was like a kid in a candy store with my M7, 28mm, portra 400 and flash.  I got two good rolls in.  That is the sweet part.  The bitter part is that my second roll tore and is stuck in my camera.  ARGHH - never happened to me!  So I took my camera to the lab and hope that they can successfully extract the film without damage.  The film tore off of the container and is wound around the spool on the right side of the camera.  Anyone have a sense of whether the film is salvageable?  

 

In any case, I gave Newsday a blizzard photo from last year for their Intagram account, which has garnered some above-average interest...  I'm always happy to make people smile.  :)

I don't have an answer regarding your torn film, but I will keep my fingers crossed for you!  If there are any images on it that are on par with the one you provided to Newsday last year, it would be a travesty to lose them!

Back in the old days when I had that happen I put the camera and an opaque film canister into a changing bag, opened the camera, extracted the film, coiled it, put it in the canister, and took it to the photo processor.  If it happened with B&W I'd put a development tank and reel in the bag.  Just be certain to handle the film by the edges.

 

I wonder if the intense cold had anything to do with the film breaking?

Thanks for your good wishes.  I will need them :)

I wish it were that simple, Stuart.  The owner of the lab tried exactly that and couldn't extract the film.  He has a "camera doctor" next door to him that wasn't there today but should be in tomorrow and he will give the camera to him to try his hand.

This happened to me when I tried my first CineStill film. I managed to save it rolling it on a forceps.

Perfectly salvageable Adam, and if you are not up to it, any decent camera store or lab worker should be.

It MUST be done in total darkness though, camera back opened/off, and the film placed either directly into the chemicals or into a container that allows it to be handled etc. Best if it goes into the original cassette, but that can be difficult unless you know what you're doing.

I am happy doing this, but my fear with a lab worker or similar is the inadvertent finger poking into your shutter blinds, OMG. What you need is someone competent to help.

A simple task though, fear not, just find someone you can trust.

Thanks for the words of comfort and encouragement.  I will keep my fingers cross that this camera technician can save my precious film.

As others have said, there should be no problem recovering the film. Once the release button is depressed (or lever pushed over, I don't know what an M7 has) it should be fairly easy to gently pull the film out of the camera.

 

I know something like this is very rare but consider buying yourself a changing bag, that way you could recover it yourself and not have to trust your camera to someone else.

Thanks, Mike.  What do you mean "release lever"?  Is that the little level on the front of the camera that you turn 90 degrees in order to be able to rewind the film?  Or, is it the button that you click to take a photo?
