Show us yer film shots then!

A couple of shots taken with my Bronica ETRS with 50mm Zenzanon using some 8 year OOD Ilford SFX 200. I have never used this film before but was pleased with these. I processed it in LC29 (1-29)which I am finding a very versatile chemistry. I think SFX shows a little more in the IR range. I used a red filter on the camera and a hint of sharpening in LR 4 after the V500 scan. The film produces an interesting effect and I think I will get some fresh stock to try. The shots are quite dark but I quite like the effect and the sky is quite surreal in the first

I like the dark skies, Adrian. I've always been interested in trying some IR-sensitive films stocks; perhaps one day...
 
Thanks RJ, I tried Kodak High Speed IR many years ago and didn't get on with it. I think the Ilford SFX emulsion is a much more muted effect and worth further exploration.
 
Turnberry Sunset. The sky was boring so I turned around and focused on the last of the light hitting the lighthouse. Unfortunately this shows up Velvia's lack of detail in the shadows. Bronica ETRS, 75mm and Velvia 100.

Very nice - the colours are great and I really like the glow on the lighthouse. I don't think that the darkness in the shadows detracts from the picture at all.

Really nice image Adrian, lovely colours and nice light and I like the depth to it...

That's gorgeous, it's real challenge to get good landscape shots in conditions like those and you've cracked it (y)

Oh Boy. Just love it Adrian. Thanks for posting, I've been having negative (pun intended) thoughts about 35mm. My faith is restored. Onward...

Great shot. For me I love the transition from light to dark. Velvia here is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.

#1 is very Gothic. Nicely composed with an eerie House of a Hammer feel to it. Great use of contrast.
 
Excellent shot Adrian, really like that.

Thanks for the comment. I suppose the subject is lit properly. Maybe I have the digital mindset of always having detail in the shadows

It looks like I should just let the shadows be and stop trying to force more detail out of them.

Those dark clouds really contribute to the feel of the image and help the eye towards the sun streaming on the mountains behind.

Trevor, I wish I knew then I could try and replicate it but I honestly have no idea :shrug:
 
Well seeing as i have still not sent my B&W film off to be developed and still haven't finished my agfa that's in the camera, i'm getting itchy feet to get out and/or see mess about with it all, so i have re visited my first roll and had a play seeing as i uploaded as is before....here is one slightly enhanced:D

I like this one... looks better for being 'enhanced' as you put it :LOL:
 
Haha thanks Lee! it sounded better than touched up!... it's amazing what a few tweaks make isn't it:D
