New Old Film Challenge #69 Entries Waterfalls, weirs and cataracts.***POLL ADDED***

[RaglanSurf]

I'm on a campsite in Norfolk and the heavens opened last night and the site soon turned into a series of little and not so little waterfalls as the rain gathered on tent roofs until it found a route down.

So this weeks maximum shoehorning exercise is Waterfalls, cataracts and weirs etc (even overflowing gutters will be be accepted)

Standard rules apply:

• Must be taken by you
• Must be on film
• Must have been taken (and devved and scanned) prior to the start date
• Tell us about the camera, lens, emulsion and anything else of relevance!
• One Entry per person

Closing date is the 15th of August at midnight with a poll to follow quickly after.

aaaww.. losin' me photo mojo... by Alastair Lampard, on Flickr

Nip Square, Rochdale Canal, Walsden. Minty Nikon FM2n, Nikkor 55mm f/1.2, FP4 of great age and wisdom, split toned in Lightroom - is that allowed?

Moss Force, Lake District.

One of the popular waterfalls in Iceland...sorry forget the name. The first time we visited, it was the two of us and a couple of sheep. Last year there was a coach park, toilet block and a thousand American tourists

Canon AE-1, 50mm f1.8, Fuji 100 C41 process of some kind (can't remember exactly without digging out the negs from wherever the hell I put them away...) - July 1983, somewhere between the Aguille Vert and Argentieres Telepherique Station.

Clashnessie in NW Sutherland taken in 2004. Neg is a 5x4 taken with either a Cadet or an Iston and 150mm lens, almost certainly FP4 but I can't get details at the moment.

Well rather than duplicate the Peaks meet waterfall, thought this might be different..Hex 40mm

Here is one, Nikon FM2n, Fujichrome, no doubt, and somewhere in Scotland in the early 90s:

That Highland water is so sweet to drink.
Hand-held Nikon FM2; Nikkor 85mm f/2 ai-s; Sensia 100; Nikon Coolscan LS-2000 scanner. I'm guessing that the exposure would've been about 1/60 sec, which gives a good impression of the water, I think.

Aphrodite's tripod at the watering hole. (Actually it's not Aphrodite's it belongs to @stevelmx5.) Taken on the F&C trip to the Lakes on a Zero Image pinhole camera, I can't remember what film but most likely something sloooooow.

I should stop getting all angsty about whether another shot is better than this one! Taken during a tour of Tasmania, end of 1975 going into 1976. These are the Russell Falls (I am almost certain, but it's research after scanning rather than any notes) on the way to Lake Pedder (a highly controversial enormous hydro scheme that drowned some amazing country) in the south west. Those are tree ferns in the foreground...

Taken on the black Electro Spotmatic, 55mm lens on slide film, probably Kodachrome of some kind.

Poll added, get votin'

On the upside, I seem to have won The downside being I'll have to come up with another subject...which is harder than taking the damn photos

Congratulations @FujiLove , wonderful shot. And yes I agree, coming up with new subjects is becoming harder and harder.

 

[Carl Hall]

Well done FujiLove

 

[Mrs Snap]

Congratulations FujiLove

 

[FishyFish]

Well done @FujiLove .

Thanks to all who voted for mine BTW, I feel honoured to have managed third place given some of the stunning shots this time.

As for themes, there're surely loads? I did a Google search for "Photo Competition Subjects" just now and one of the very first results was this thread on TP: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/a-z-of-inspiration-list-of-themes.30760/

Maybe something from that lot will work?

Cracking shot and a worthy winner. I can almost hear the roar of the water!

 

[FujiLove]

Thanks guys

Thinking cap on and will get the new theme up and running shortly.
