Good set. I really like number 2 with the shadows.

Hypnotoad! *The second one reminds me of that Captain Picard meme with the facepalm. :)

I think it was a good idea. The foreground was a bit central in the first one so dominates too much. The fact that it's in focus is enough, so you don't need it to dominate the frame so much. Stick it over to the left a bit more, and crop some off the bottom. I think a longer focal length...

You've captured that beautifully. It looks magical.

I like the set but agree some would be improved if she were smiling more. Especially number 5 where she looks a bit distainful when combined with the framing. I see where you're coming from about liking the shots that are more about 'mood and feeling' and number 2 is a good example of this...

I hope it's not a sticky shutter curtain. I don't think there's anywhere around here to get the camera serviced. It doesn't look quite straight enough to be the curtain anyway, or at least that's what I'm telling myself. Will just have to see if it happens again.

Thanks Jimmy. :) Yeah, I quite liked the results too, but it'd be nice to know what happened. It'd be more satisfying if I'd done it on purpose.

Yeah, I would have thought so too but I can't think what else it might be.

Yeah, FP4 plus, sorry. Seems likely I just didn't take enough care when removing the roll. Though the rest of the roll seemed very tightly wound. Would it still cause problems for the entire roll? Here's a few more from the roll in case that helps. Could the black bar on the top of...

Thanks Jim and Asha. I probably just messed up somewhere with some inept bumbling. I bought the camera from a good guy who I think would have told me if there was a leak anywhere in the body. Everything looks well sealed when the back is in. I'll be extra careful with the next roll and see...

I loaded it in my very dimly lit living room (I put the dimmed switch on minimum) but it took me a while due to it being my first ever roll. I guess the time I spend fumbling with it could have caused the leak? Or is it likely to be the airport scanners? That particular roll probably went...

Hi, I'm very new to film and was hoping someone could tell me what may have caused this photo to come out like this: The camera used was a Pentax 645 Film is Ilford FP4 The roll was taken to a local lab for processing. The rest of the frames on the roll have similar problems. Is...

Gotta love those running gags. :) Nick - Yeah, I did a couple of google searches on 'best film' and realised I was probably best off experimenting as many types as I could find and picking my favourites.

I've just taken the plunge into MF after several years of digital. My film experience mostly amounts to playing around with disposables and the odd 35mm point and shoot as a child. I bought a Pentax 645, 3 lenses (45, 75 and 150mm) and a 120 back for the princely sum of NZ$500 (£250). It's a...

I like the floor too. :)
