Guest Benqui Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7061 Posted October 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) very alluring, Marc. This is my favorite of her shots so far... Thank you very much Adam! I totally agree, this is also my favorite shot. I think we must be on the same wavelength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Hi Guest Benqui, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rpavich Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7062 Posted October 3, 2015 I leave it out so I can start it off before I put it in the changing bag I do too...and I rip or cut it straight across right after rewinding so I know it's one to develop.

rpavich Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7063 Posted October 3, 2015 Did anyone here try Ilford's leader extraction tool, a.k.a. Film Retriever? Not Ilfords, but I have two others. They all work on the same principle. I've done it but I ended up just leaving the tail out of the cassette. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it but I ended up just leaving the tail out of the cassette. The easiest way is to use a short piece of (scrap) film, which will be moistened on one side. Slide this in the cassette where the wet piece will stick to the film inside, then gently pull and you will get the film out in no time. No need for other tools 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkassenkunde Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7065 Posted October 3, 2015 Last weekend we had a wonderful day at the baltic sea. The weather was gorgeous and I fired away with my Leica M4-P. First shot is Cinestill 50. As I metered the light for another scene, this snapshot of a seagull was not properly exposed - but I like the deep blue: Welcome, dear visitor!

No need for other tools Yes, that's exactly what I do (it doesn't even need to be scrap film: the leader of a new roll also does the job). Works every time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7068 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Lol...I tried it and just ended up with a wet tongue, damp film, and a bad attitude! I find it helps to wind the film in the cassette after inserting the damp (licked) piece of film. Turn it until the inserted film is 'grabbed'. If you then pull the film out (steadily, don't yank it) it should come out with the 'lost' leader attached. Edited October 3, 2015 by wattsy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpavich Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7069 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) My Leica M6 has been in the shop with Sherry for a few weeks now and after I posted my "woe is me, I"m camera-less" thread here, a member very generously gifted me a Minolta XD11 camera with 50mm lens with the stipulation that I "pay it forward" when I can. Well...since then I bought a few more film cameras and so I'm not camera-less now and so had an opportunity to pay it forward myself! found a friend who was dying to get into shooting film but didn't have any gear or knowledge of how to start so this was my opportunity.He's very grateful and he's very enthusiastic about it.This is him.PS: Developed in the Rondinax 35U for 5 minutes at 20c using HC-110 at 31:1 dilution. Dried in my homemade PVC dryer. Edited October 3, 2015 by rpavich 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7071 Posted October 3, 2015 this is shot using the kodak xx b&w movie film that is being sold and otherwise bandied about --- posting this shot simply because there is a wide array of grays here .... may try to repost later using C1, of which I better at getting the right shot uploaded. Res may be a bit less good --- anyway, thoughts on the film? Compared to the grainy nature of some examples, this seems beautifully smooth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpavich Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7072 Posted October 3, 2015 You've got your Rondinax skill set finely honed now! As long as you don't know what I know, that I ruined the roll right before this one, I'll take that compliment! I didn't make sure that the film was tracking properly on the reel before closing the lid and rolled the film up on the reel like a ball of twine! i could only salvage 5 shots from the roll.

chrism Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7076 Posted October 3, 2015 I decided to do some 4x5 today, but lacked a model so I ended up using a tape measure and some guesswork to do a self-portrait. As I was developing a pair of negatives, our member of parliament (we have a federal election next month) knocked on the door. I knew him long before he first was elected, so I invited him into the darkroom and he watched while his handlers fumed outside. He stayed to see the negatives come out of the tank, and that might just have been the best part of his day (he does 200 doorsteps a day at 2 minutes each!)

rpavich Posted October 3, 2015 Share #7078 Posted October 3, 2015 Went on a Photowalk (The worldwide Photowalk that Kelby organizes each year) and shot Tri-X. I usually shoot Kentmere because it's so much cheaper but I decided to splurge. Wow...I have to say that Tri-X blows Kentmere out of the water. I wish it didn't...due to the expense but it does. (at least in my opinion.) I developed these in HC-110 31:1 ratio at 20c for 5 minutes. We walked around West Virginia University and the surrounding area. I'd have more shots of the town but I accidentally cut off about 6 frames thinking the roll was all of the way out of the cassette! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
