New Old Film Challenge discussion thread

Glad to see the entries here, I was worried that it was too restrictive!
 
If your weather's as nice as ours is, it's a terrible day for looking through your back catalogue for lonely shots. But this round closes tomorrow evening, so maybe get looking this evening if you haven't already done so!
 
Challenge closed, poll added
 
On the off chance that anyone is curious as to how you can achieve camera shake with the camera on a tripod, I offer this view of me in action demonstrating how it's done. Note the position of all five legs shown in the photo, and consider what happened next as I stepped back... This was taken as I was taking my photo.

Still time to get your entries in for the Unintentional Camera Movement challenge, competition closes tomorrow at midnight. There are already some cracking images in the thread, indeed I think we already have enough for a Group Show at Tate Modern!
 
Challenge closed poll coming soon!
 
Well that's it then. Nick has brought out his Three retriever winning shot.:coat:

Oo, another one where I have some photos! Here are a couple of shots on Kodachrome, OM1, of a lamp post and a telephone box in my street. Sorry that they aren't in glorious black and white... I'll see if I can find something more suitable as an entry.

These are great and pleased that you will have some potential entries. Also an OM-1 loaded with Kodachrome was my tool of choice back in the day! Oh happy days!
 
And since I rarely post pics, here's my alternative and reject photo. York, bollards. I have fond memories of Stubbs the ironmongers, and wanted to record the building in case the worse happened. It was Loch Fyne when last we were in York in days BC.

I think I may have a perfect fit for this one - a photo of a ruined abbey, itself ruined by being double exposed...

If entered, I claim double points:p

Given the broad hint in your intro to the challenge, I'm regretting that my photo of the new premises of WYC wasn't made on film :)
