New old film challenge #27 - Water - entries thread

[Kevin Allan]

Here we go with the next challenge. Since it's a holiday period I thought I'd choose something not too taxing and quite broad, so the subject is "Water" - which you can interpret as you wish, so your image could be of the sea, a river, a waterfall, a drop of water coming out of the tap, or anything in between.

The rules are that the image has to be taken by you before now, be on film, and be posted here before Monday 4th January.

There's a discussion thread here

Swans in Barry. Yashica Mat. Ektar, I think.

Some Scottish water. Glencorse reservoir is a storage pond for Edinburghs water supply.

One of my few successful 54 shots from last year and about the only one I like with the 90mm.

Taken on a Canon 630 with the Sigma 24mm superwide lens - the only reason I still have that camera. On Fuji Superia 400 I think.

City of Arts and Sciences, Seville. Leica M6, with Summarit-M 35mm f/2.5 lens. Kodak Ektar.

Dithered about this a lot, but I've decided on this boy in the floods in Kenilworth in December 2012, staring at something just out of shot...



Probably my ancient Pentax ME (but might be my first MX), with the now-departed Tamron 28-50mm zoom, Delta 400.

Well where I live there is gallons of water and the area should be called the Lake district (all ex gravel pits) and have taking loads of lake shots over the years erm but they are just nice and nothing outstanding, so something that might be interesting is the barge coming through the lock:-

Loch Pityoulish Cairngorms. From my short term affair with a Leica M3 and 50mm Summicron, since I found we were incompatible. Film was XP2.

 

[Chrisphoter]

Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, taken on a cheapo Russian TLR imitation of a Rolleiflex called Lubitel. Kodachrome 64 as I recall.



(Please excuse the odd spot - this was a transparency commercially digitised and for some reason I didn't blitz the dust bugs in Photoshop).

Taken with my Yashica 635 on the TP Lakes meet, Portra 400;

Cheers

I don't seem to have many photos with water in them, but this is my favourite of the few that do. Was my 8th roll of film I ever shot, and was on a trip to Cornwall for my birthday in March 2014,

Taken on my Mamiya C220 with the 80mm f/2.8 lens, on Ektar 100.

edit: please excuse the watermark, I uploaded this to Flikr before I decided I couldn't be bothered with watermarks any more haha.

Spot on Alf, thanks for pointing that out!
I had it right in the Flickr description, but screwed the title up!
I can only plead oldtimers disease, (or it could have been the spell checker!)

Well done ChrisR - a clear winner !

Your prize is:

a) £10,000 plus a trip to the moon for two
b) An opportunity to set the subject for the next challenge.

PS One of the above is not true.
