  • HP5+ pushed 1 stop in HC-110(B)@ 20c
  • Nikon LS-9000

I have to say, this was my first roll of HP5+ that I've ever shot (I'm a TriX guy).  I've read posts and articles about some who have made the switch (Trix -> HP5+) and have stayed with it; I just can't see how.  After pushing 1 stop, there's just too much grain (negative looked  little under exposed) and not enough contrast in the middle tones for me...so back to TriX I go.

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

More demonstrators at the Dam square. And of course bicycles. There are always bicycles here in NL.

Wow Antonio. That is a sharp lens. I wish I could cure my A1 of that darn shutter or is it mirror squeak. It's such a fun camera to shoot but mine sounds like pressing a rubber duck when it fires.

 

You know, I think the the 50/2 FD is considered a cheap lens, but I bought it for 30 euros and it performs wonderfully.

As far as the squeak, my A1 used to have too. It's a camera that I got for free from my in-laws. Actually the mirror used to get stuck too. Then I found some info online on how to fix it with some sewing machine lubricant (the famous Singer lube bottle). Of course, it didn't work, but I tried another approach, which was "not suggested": spraying some WD-40 inside the mirror gear box. It worked great! I'm not sure if the noise is back to baseline, but the camera works perfectly. In the end, it was a dead camera, why not trying???

Really nice James. That merge went very well. Approx how much do you overlap the frames when shooting?

I think it is about 1/5 to 1/4 of each frame. I try to find a marker in each frame on which I adjust my eye to keep track of the area I want to have in the next frame. There should be some helpful tools for this kind of photography, esp. on a tripod, but as I am a lazy guy I usually leave my tripod at home, except I am going out to do some night photography.

Hi Marc, I can understand your concerns about HP5 in regards of the cable guy picture, but I think you have mastered this emulsion in the Empire shot perfectly. Nice tonality, little grain and I really like your composition with this UPS truck.

A nice natural pool in Croatia. I had to crop this picture at the top, as I had too much rock in my frame.
