Haven't really shot anything worthwhile on film recently. I did get some test shots back from my first rolls of slide (Velvia 50). Real pain to scan or maybe my exposures are off (don't have a lightbox to judge, a lot of them seem dark, if I hold them real close to a desklamp I can see a lot of shadow detail that the scanner is missing).

A couple that I have posted before, but I have only scanned a few so far..
They are all uprated, and my second one was shot on what was known as recording film - used by police for surveillance, and rated at something like 6400..

[steveinspain]

Thanks Hoodi !
I am struggling with it all - in part as I need to raise some money, so will need to seel one of the MF cameras - either the Mamiya RZ67 or the Mamiya 6..
Thanks to some advice from another TP member, the 6 might be staying as the 6 suits my photography more.
Anyone need a well used RZ67, complete with 3 lenses, 3 backs and a motorwind ?
I also need a darkroom, rather than waiting till back in the UK to get stuff processed, but in time.....

[CT]

I shudder to think how long ago this was taken - probably with a Mamiya C220, but I'm pretty sure it was Ilford Pan F which I couldn't get enough of at the time.

I seem to remember we were just going out somewhere - hence the "Do you have to get that thing out now" look.

I frequently shoot Delta 3200 @ 6400. I soup in boring middle of the road D-76 but I like the results.
These are awful scans, recompressed a few times - but they're all I have to hand & I can't be bothered to scan anything for you :D

Medium Format, so inherently less grainy, and fairly big 6*7 MF at that :

But D3200 @ 6400 is quite tasty on 35mm, too :

These are two old 5x4 neg scans from Uni. They are based on a concept of portraying nationality stereotypes. These two are English and Scottish. I'll let you work out why!!! Prize to the first person to guess correctly.*

Any chance of some details on this one Steve? Ie what film, camera and developing etc? Im still toying with the idea of playing with film, and this is the type of look im after with the nice grain etc. :)

[whitewash]

it does have a bloody lovely grain to it doesnt it!!!!

[Messiah Khan]

it does have a bloody lovely grain to it doesnt it!!!!

Yeah, not too much as to detract from the image itself, but enough to give it a raw and gritty feel. If I could get that in 6x6 or 6x7 id be happy. :)

[joxby]

well Ilford 3200 is quite gritty processed normally, and neopan 1600 can be made grittier.
I half think steves is, I dunno, iso 400, but push processed

[whitewash]

ive shot both neopan1600 and delta 3200 before for some band shots and the grain was damn nice, got them developed at colab

[steveinspain]

OK, the film was HP5, the camera was an Olympus OM2, I have no idea about developing etc, but it may have been whatever the standard Ilford developer was way back then - Ilfobrom or something ?. I expect the film was uprated a bit, as I too like grain, so maybe 800 or 1200asa (or ISO as we now call it)

There has been a lot of talk about Medium Format recently, but for grain, 35mm would seem a good way to go, and they are all so cheap now - especially if you can get a camera that will take the same lenses as your digital body..

[sprog]

Here's a shot I took a couple of weeks ago at Blenhiem Palace.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2268/2425299811_d9e9fe3a48.jpg

HP5 developed in Ilford LC29. I used a Nikon F90x with an old 24-120mm lens, this lens comes in for a lot of criticism for some reason but I've had some good results with it. I took a load of colour digital shots the same day but this remains my favourite. Black & white seems to reveal a whole different world of tone & shade that's sometimes swallowed up when shot in colour.

[joxby]

yep, at first glance it looks a shade light, but a proper look shows it covering black to white and every shade of grey in between.
Its just a light scene:thumbs:

I used some LC29, I liked it, I didn't want to throw away the last bit in the bottle, even though it didn't make up the 50ml to develop a roll, so I topped it up with ilfosol:lol:,half & half.
Couldn't tell the difference, they are very similar.

ere Raa, I never said....luv that scene with the bikes/ramblers, dunno about the processing though, especially in the foreground, its a bit lumpy where you expect detail....

[raathistle]

yeah I know, I'm gonna have another go at it this week.

There also seems to be a wierd purplish cast on some monitors so I'm wondering if I didn't save it at the final point after converted to grayscale? (I scanned in colour by mistake).

Will check CC imaging out, cheers

Got two rolls back from DLAB7. Very impressed with the turnaround (less the 5 days) and the price (£2.80 per roll of 120) But the film did appear a little grubbier than normal and needed some cleaning up.

Can they do B&W in that time frame too? I'm sick of jessops taking three weeks to return my films*, and It's not like I wouldn't mind popping into Leeds every once in a while anyway.

But I'm not at school as of last week, and whilst i have a small organo-synthetic lab in my shed, I don't have and can't yet afford a changing bag and darkroom equipment.

(also can one formulate one's own darkroom chemistry, are there guides available?)

[sprog]

Jessops sub the work out to one of the pro labs anyway and add their own margin, so you're probably a) paying too much b) incurring extra delays.

Home B&W developing is easy and really rewarding. Changing bags can be bought for less than a tenner and chemicals & gubbins for less than £20 so it doesn't take long for it to pay for itself.

[snappyt]

Talkin about B&W processing does anybody know of any comprehensive set-up guides for everything you need? Had a quick browse for books but found little of significance . .

Those are great for cheap film, oddly smooth looking with nice calm colours.
What type of film is it ?


And whilst I'm on it, directed at this thread in general, theres no exif peeps.
There are hundreds of different films, and quite a few ways to process them.
I for one would like to know what everyone uses and if it was processed particularly, its nice to compare film for film, you get to recognize the characteristics of particular films and even their manufacturers.

[jgredline]

I love this shot this is the exact reason ive bought my film cameras you just cannot get that with digital.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I agree. I have been shooting digital for about 8 years or so and took up film about 6 months ago. Quickly, I fell in love with it and find myself shooting more film than digital, well almost. It has a certain look about it. Perhaps it is the film grain that makes it attractive. What ever it is they look more alive to me.

I have no idea. I was trying it for the first time. The box says made in Italy and that's all I know. It has no name on it.

The only EXIF info you will get is what ever software or scanner you used to put your image unto the computer.
I primarily shoot black and white and use kODAK Tri-X...I send my stuff to a pro lab for development although I do want to learn how to do it myself.

Yeah, I know, this film forum is only 4 months old:baby:, it was digitally dominated, peeps are used to posting...or at least are aware their photos may contain exif, its easy to forget scans say nothing about the film used.
I just think its great to see an image and think, blimey, I like that, what film is it, I'll give it a shot...y'know.
I have 5 rolls of Velvia 50 new mix to shoot, haven't seen any here yet.
And a big pile of 320TX, (kindly donated by a NewYork studio), I don't actually like Kodak, it sends my fixer pink, but if I see some B/W here I like, I may be tempted to use it:lol:
Thats a lie, I'm gonna use it anyway..

I wish I had one of those. The pro place I use has one of those. They give me the negatives and the images are put on a cd rom. I myself have a HP scanner with Vue Scan software. I can scan my own negatives or images, but since they started to offer a cd rom with all the images on it for $2.50, i decided to do that instead. This way I can choose what I want printed.

[jgredline]

A couple that I have posted before, but I have only scanned a few so far..
They are all uprated, and my second one was shot on what was known as recording film - used by police for surveillance, and rated at something like 6400..

Yeah, I used a full roll of 50 on a poppy field.
I don't see a lot of difference between 50 and 100f, I think I'd rather stick with the extra speed of 100 in good light.
Velvia 50 probably comes into its own during longer exposures..

Shots are cool, for an 8 year old, definitely got the eye :thumbs:

I don't think they're as sympathetically scanned/pp'd as they could have been.
I think they are better than the scans suggest, but that's always the caveat when someone else does it, they have they're own idea of how they should look.
Its little things like the halos and usm, things you would try to correct if you were doing it yourself, that spotty herbert at scans'r'us wouldn't bother with.
I can't say nothing about scans really, mine are slide copied......:lol:
You could check the negs and see if there are focus problems, hence the usm, and/or under-exposure issues.
You should chuck him a roll of slide film, see what he makes of them..:)

CLICKY (http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Developers/Times_Rodinal/Rodinal.pdf)

I dunno if you can still get it? I always called it Rodinol, although Google searches respond to both spellings.

I love the punch in those :thumbs:

[joxby]

They have it at silverprint (http://www.silverprint.co.uk/), thats where I bought mine from, like...hurr....2 years ago.
Click AGFA > chemicals > b/w developers.
I've not opened the damn bottle yet, probably be off by the time I get round to it.
Ere, do you want it sprog, I can't match my ambition with action, heck, I'm not even shooting b/w:lol:
I'm not sure Rodinal is the smoothest developer available for fine grain though.

Those are nice scans btw, scanning is half the battle.

[sprog]

Wouldn't mind joxby, what's the shelf life on an unopened bottle? I fell for that once with some Ilford stuff and all my film came out bright purple and blank, probably not worth the risk come to think about it.:'(

What would you peeps recommend for a fine grain developer? I've read about some using very low concentrations and long development times to get the best tone & detail.

[joxby]

Grant was nattering about weak Rodinal solutions and really long development times, like...hours, a while back, he said tonally they were great, but grainy with it.

After 6 months in limbo we've just arrived at our new house and in the mean-time I've bought a scanner. As I was unpacking I came across these from my time out in the Balkans and given this week's events it seemed appropriate to chuck these up. They not for crit just for sharing, it was my first slr and I didn't know one end from the other, an Olympus IS-500 if memory serves me. Believe it or not I knew less about photography then than I do now ;).

We were asked to airlift two airconditioning units onto the top of these new UN or NATO buildings that were built in Sarajevo.

Ahh, its a meat packing place....

Today, twelve Cloughertys spanning three generations work together to insure Farmer John products are in keeping with the past. They closely supervise every detail of the packing process. Quality control is foremost. So, consumers are always assured fresh delivery daily. What's more, the Farmer John family responds to consumer demand with a growing selection of wholesome meat products. They include: a full line of lean, fresh-cut pork, savory sausage, wonderful wieners, franks, Polish sausage, bacon in two thicknesses, boneless smoked fully cooked ham, as well as a full assortment of pre-packed ready-to-eat luncheon meats, liver spreads and more. Hot or cold, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Farmer John products always reflect high values and low prices. On the holidays, every day, families who know what's best put Farmer John products between their knives and forks.

The pork plant, located south of Los Angeles in Vernon, became a tourist attraction in 1957 when set painter Les Grimes was hired to decorate one of its walls with a farm scene.

Minolta Dimage Scan Multi 2.
Had problems with it, but after I re-installed windoze I've been fairly impressed, its at least as good as most flatbeds without the huge flatbedness, I think it will perform better with less than perfectly exposed negs, than a flatbed would.

I really need a 50 for this mamiya.

Ha! You and I both, good ones are like rocking-horse s**t at the moment.

I've recently been doing the velvia/sky/polariser thang too :)

ha ha, we're not in competition, although I'd rather be looking for an RB 50, than mine..:lol:...50's are the nuts.
Thats bonza, and confirms I forgot to compensate for that polariser..

That boat could be sharper, but the grass bottom right is.
It hardly seems to matter when they come out like that anyway :lol:, ubersharp is just....well....not a deal breaker anymore..

The boat is blurred, he was moving at a fair lick as he was sailing with the wind.

I added two stops, but think 1.5 would have been better.
