LONDON MEET FILM THREAD

[Andysnap]

Well it would appear that I am the winner as was expected as the southern softies are slow and own no clogs.

Heres a few to begin with. All taken on a Voigtlander Bessa R3A with Nokton 40mm f1.4 on Kodak Ektar 100.

so for those not on the London walk ,quiz time . an old lady walked by and see us pointing our cameras at the sign and explained what it meant ,,,so the question is , what did she say was the real meaning of the sign ? answers here please .

 

[excalibur2]

erm an old sign............. maybe for tramps, drunks or even school children.

Yep, but for a more specific act that these people may commit...

 

[excalibur2]

erm "what uncaring humans do" should cover everything

 

[TheBigYin]

Ermmm.... think it's "don't urinate/defecate against this wall" - our equivalent of the french "Défense de ****er" signs

 

[menthel]

Correct!

 

[Musicman]

There's lots of them round SE1. Usually found in the vicinity of pubs, I believe.

 

[Andysnap]

Too many smart ar*es on here...

Andy

 

[Andysnap]

OK, heres a few more from the Ross Ensign 16-20. I must find a way of not double/triple exposing shots, its bloody annoying as a couple of the knackered ones were ones I really wanted to be good.

Same here! It didn't seem to bad actually. The main problem was all of the multiple exposures when I forgot to wind on!

 

[Andysnap]

Had a few myself, lost about 4 shots I think.

Andy

 

[menthel]

Another one from me. This time taken with my oly trip 35 and portra 400. Really like the film, much nicer than the superia 400 I have used before.

[RaglanSurf]

Loving the colours Jim, Portra is pretty much the only colour print film I like.

Thanks, took a bit of work to get them right as I am still getting used to vuescan. The colours and grain are rather nice though.

 

[Andysnap]

Excellent Jim. Funny how everyone has different ideas on the same subject, this is mine on the R3A and Kodak Ektar 100

Superia seems to be more of a general, 'consumer' film, giving perfectly adequate results when called on. But Portra seems to go the next step

Very true. The films are also showing their characteristics as well, yours looks like an ektar shot!

I found superia 400 to be muddy and much more grainy than the portra. It costs a little more but when I want 400iso colour film I know which one I will get!

 

[wblati]

where is this archway?

 

[menthel]

where is this archway?

Its actually 2 different archways in an old church in the City. Just don't ask me where it is or what it was called! Hopefully one of the others can remember!

 

[Andysnap]

It's St Dunstan's off Great Tower Street. Blimey you locals know nowt....

Tourists always take more notice than locals, I know where it is and could walk straight to it but knowing street names :shake:

I get lost in my own house! It's not a reflection on all the locals.

It would appear that I have a minor problem with my camera Although I am quite liking the un-intentional multiple exposures

Now I don't want to seem pedantic but it was actually right the first time as it was a reflection :razz:

 

[Andysnap]

Yes Nick it would appear to be just a small problem....

I'd forgotten about the pretty girls, well done.

[Andysnap]

Well they say the camera adds 10 pounds..... there must have been about 8 on me then..

I don't think I mentioned this at the time but I would like to thank everyone who was there for a great day out, in fact I've never had a day in London I've enjoyed more.
