Some cracking shots there - and quite a splurge on the processing and scanning.
#72 frame 12, #73 frame 3, #74 frames 3, 11 & 15 catch my eye.
About time you put some shots up, come Nige, stop slackingI'm going to attempt to put some weight on the gas and catch up with these before the year comes to a close

TBH it's hard to know where to start. Superia and a misty day is always going to get my vote, the birch trees in #74 look good as does the barbed wire. Lovely tonality and architectural details in #73.
Someone is *not* happy about 20 minute dev times....
I listen to podcasts while I'm developing. It's like on-demand radio for various interests... Music, photography, strategy gaming... 20 minutes isn't long enough! Hence my latest 35mm test of HP5 at 6400 (which may see soup before 2021 as it's great for shooting the cats)
That's quite a catchup there Nige. Realy like the architecture work in the first two with 72 (frame 3) & 73 (frame 5) standing out for me. The misty woods in B&W is right up my street and there are many on there I'd be happy to have taken - esp frames 3 & 6 where the mist is hinted at.
Not so keen on the colour stuff. I just don't think it's as strong as the B&W. Nice to see a return of the pylons in the last sheet though, and I really do like the tyre(?) in the lake. Very nice.
As we approach the end - do you have any thoughts on your "year"? Was it useful, or just a pain in the bum to update the thread? There was an element of the latter for me and with a 52 attempt coming in January I may well continue with contact sheets for the various themes. Hopefully much less testing next year for me!
Really nice contact sheet, and good to go out with a bang
13 & 14 look really nice. Reminds me of Haas' work (very hard to tell at this size though). Also I actually clicked on frame 15 because I wanted to see it bigger.
26 looks really nice too.
How do you find these P&S cameras in gloom? I have my MInitec loaded with 400 speed film and I'm loathe to take it out because of the flash going off all the time. Do you turn the flash off somehow?
Thanks Paul.Yes, a nice set of images, and that chance discovery was very nice. Very Monet-esque.
And I was just going to say how frame one looked pretty good to mewith just a single shot made by the previous owner(frame #1
That's a really good effect, who needs photoshopThere's a bonus image in the guise of #11
Having just rewatched Cabin In The Woods, frame 5 appeals muchly.
Like the look of frames 2 & 7.
If it's a hobby, and it doesn't hurt anyone, and you can afford it - enjoy! That's my motto.
There is some nice light on frame 4 by the look of it.
My problem has returned to the "not getting out to shoot anything" here. I'd say to hell with the cost and use as much film as you can, while you can. Who knows what's around the corner.
Nice set! Really nice lighting on shot #3, that's my favourite, Of the rocks, #7 is my favourite, but #5 could almost be a natural Sphinx.
fnaar!
This made me chuckle. I remember Viz!
This bit of West Handley has made more than a couple of appearances in your contact sheets if I'm not mistaken. That wire in the top right corner of #8 is a bit distracting and whilst #7 is really nice it doesn't give the context that #8 does. Do you have a frame from all your visits that is "Yep. Done" or are you still looking for that "final composition"?
Contact sheet #83, frame three has some lovely light.
What's Shanghai GP3 like? Although I suspect with a 6x9 you could probably use sensitised kitchen roll!
