I really like your portrait shaped landscape, I think it really works well.
Cracking shot Rob, love the perspective that you've taken.
The people (tourists) giving an excellent sense of scale.

They scans from some old glass plates that I obtained when in the UK of Tower bridge
The buses crossing the bridge in the second shot place the period 1920's / 1930's
Not knowing the area very well I'm not sure which bank the shots were taken from.
That's not unlike down here Rob, plenty of old buildings tucked in amongst modern architecture......Does make a good contrasting picture.
The glass covered building looks so much like the childrens hospital located on Nice promenade ...quite uncanny really!
I bet you could get a good reflection shot from that modern building depending what is located opposite it.....worth a shot do you think??

It was on the north bank of the Thames, just near Tower Bridge. On the other side of the bank is some converted warehouses![]()
I'm pretty sure they are taken from the north bank of the Thames looking east.
I've got quite a few shots taken round that area, always good for a few reflections and contrasty shots, and I like this one.
Week 10 - Experiment
This is a bit of a bizarre one, Kodak Gold 400 (C-41 Process) developed in Rodinal
Scanned as colour negative
Graffitti by Rob Hooley, on Flickr
Agree with Jim as to the effect suits the subject matter.
I've never devd C-41 process so tbh i wouldn't know if this type of result is typical.
Liking the content and composition....looks like you have some talented grafitti artists in your area!
For this particular shot the purple/ green blotch finishes works .......Not sure a portrait would quite take to it though![]()

Its not something i intend to do very oftenWhen i took this i was trying to finish the roll off so i could put in a proper black and white film
It was in quite a trendy area of London so there was quite a lot of graffiti like this. They are good, but no Banksy![]()
Taking another look at the shot reminds of some old colour film that I devd iin B&W chems....theye came out with a purple tint....scanned em b&w though.
I wouldnt mind having the kit to do proper C-41 or E-6 developing though :nuts:
The developer and Fixer are different, the fixer has bleach mixed in to get rid of the black and white image and leave the colour behind
C-41 is very fussy with regard to temperature, has to be accurate to sub-degree levels apparently
The temp could be the main prob then.....Would be interested to know if anyone else has managed to do C-41 using a patterson daylight tank in a typical amature bathroom style lab set up and how they got on with it.
A nice piece of kit you look to have there Rob
I'd agree you're macro shot is a very good first attempt......the OOF edges makes the eye draw more to the sharp detail on the petals.
Cow & Calf.....I really like this one...the angle at which you've shot it with the light / shadows showing off the inscriptons in the rock ....you didn't leave a "Rob was ere 2012" then ??
To say you're half canned when you shoot some of these you do quite well ..I remember week 1 was taken when you were under the influence too!I like the lead in with week 13. Maybe a little too much of an expanse of water makes the shard look a little lost although at the same time it gives perspective. Keeping tower bridge in the scene makes up for it. The sky has a distinct stormy look about it......caused by the missplaced filter??....works quite well though.

Week 14.....Brings back memories of miles trecked over the hills of the UK and many a night slept out, some in the shadow of Ribblehead viaduct.
You fell lucky not to have people in the shot. Maybe it's a little early in the season....I recall it to be very busy around there in the summer.
They used to occasionally have steam trains pass over the viaduct....I bet that is quite a sight and and excellent photo to be had....
You have captured superb detail in the stonework....makes one think of the many men who grafted so hard to build that viaduct.
Week 15 Time flies ...I love the originality of this one. The shadow and perspective don't cause me a problem at all. By doing a long exposure, the minute hand of the clock really gives a sense of how fast time whizzes by..
Weeks 16 & 17. Portraits. Both work even though they are not portrait orientation. I like grain in film portrait shots ...why I don't know but it seems to add an edge to the shot especially when the subject is lit from the side.
To think of a panoramic orientated portrait immediatley screams "no it can't work" but the way in which the guys shoulders almost fill the frame and the cropping of his hair actually suits the wide format imo
