Two great photos of subjects that suit b&w well. I love Tallinn, out of the places I've visited (which admittedly isn't that many), it's my favourite by far

I love it too. We visited last year and really wanted to go back ASAP. It's got a hell of a lot going for it - the culture, sights, food, drink etc - and the Estonians are simply wonderful people. Not wanting to sound like an old fart, but we found the younger people so positive, well educated and great to mix with. I don't think we met anyone who wasn't absolutely charming and friendly.

Re. Brexit and the UK being 'full up': I think a much better solution would be to allow unlimited migration from Eastern Europe...but maintain the population by kicking out the same number of Brits. Am I crazy?!

Your suggestion really isn't much crazier than some of the government's recent proposals...

The one flaw in my plan.

...but the eastern European's children would turn\become into Brits, so it would be a never ending cycle

On to my 250,000th Olympus Trip (seemingly!) and I think I've finally found a fully working model!

All on Acros 100, and much less grainy that the last Trip-shot roll I posted a few weeks ago.

Love the ghost sign, history hidden in plain site

Thanks Adrian!

I'd love to spend six months driving round France seeking out these signs and documenting them before they disappear for ever.

Some more Oly 35 RC and Poundland Agfa pictures.

I like the shot with the cones. It's wonky and the subject matter is mundane, but there's something that appeals about it.

Making a start on the films from my UK visit .

One from the Isle of Man.

The Laxey Wheel ( Lady Isabella) , the largest water wheel in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxey_Wheel

Leica M4
Ilford Delta 400
LC29
Canoscan 8800F

 

[Asha]

The climb up onto the top platform of the Wheel invloves negotiating a narrow spiral staircase, interesting if you meet anyone large coming the opposite way!



The water wheel worked a pump up in the valley to drain the mines of water.

The circular motion of the wheel was converted into horizontal motion and transfered to the pump via a long wooden beam carried atop an impressive viaduct

Recently I visited the Shildon branch of the National Railway Museum, and by chance there was a classic car display outside. These were taken with Portra 400 in a Mamiya RZ67 and home developed in the Fuji Hunt X-Press kit:


Flag car

Lincoln Continental Mark IV


"Starsky and Hutch" Ford Gran Torino

In 2013, I bought a bulk film loader with some Kodak Plus X film in it. No idea how old the film was or how stored but clearly fairly old. I tried two cassettes of the film before becoming ill. I have just refound the cassettes and developed them - Rodinol 1:50 - the results are rather dark and grainy - I suspect the age of the film as much as anything.

A selection:

 

[Asha]

the results are rather dark and grainy

^^^suits the results that you've posted though^^, particularly the first one

 

[john.margetts]

But then, I didn't post the portrait of Bestbeloved as I wish to keep living.

 

[excalibur2]

- the results are rather dark and grainy -

Well as for dark, unless you are talking about the neg thought most of the pics were too bright and needed adjusting in Photoshop........ just nit picking as I've nothing else to do as it's raining and no boot sale today

 

[john.margetts]

I was talking about the negatives - no clear acetate showing at all.

 

[Asha]

A couple taken In Castletown, IOM...again with the M-4 onto Delta 400

Composing the old lifeboat house shot with the reflection of the lighthouse in the window without having my reflection in the frame was no easy task....35mm focal length was barely wide enough, but hey, when that's all ya got, you make do

John, some interesting results from this film, as you say quite grainy, although they work with your subject material in my view. I wonder was there any marking on the edge of the film to confirm it was Kodak Pan X? I too bought a bulk loader a couple of years ago and it came with some films reported to be Kodak Pan X 125. When I processed the first role I used LC29 and treated at Pan X. but found no edge markings. I have since been told it is probably some sort of technical recording film. I have posted and example below taken with my Bessa L and 15mm Heliar. Grainy too!

Castletown wsn't the most pleasant place to live back then........you could end up imprissoned in the castle or worse!

I had a roll of Tri-X in one of the film holders for my RZ67 for over three months and had forgotten what was on it, so quite pleased to find this:

It's all been a bit quiet on the film front for me lately, so I thought it was about time I fired some off!

All Agfa Vista 200, EOS 30, 24-105L IS and Screen Cezanne Elite scans:

 

[ChrisR]

Blimey Paul, that Vista comes up nicely for you! Like them all, first and last are excellent, but no 4 I really really like.

 

[PMN]

Thanks Chris, much appreciated!

 

[PMN]

A few more, also Vista scanned on the Cezanne but shot on the Canon A1 + FD 28mm f/2.8:

 

[steveo_mcg]

Cracking shots @PMN. You and that scanner really do get the best out of Vista.

 

[RaglanSurf]

Good work Paul.
