Show us yer film shots then!

h'mm Jason I'd throw that lens away as the verticals are all over the place...what lens did you use?
 
If I remember correctly it was a 50mm lens which would be approx 30mm on a full frame, so probably some distortion in there.

If you click through onto Flickr and click again for the big version, the verticals look OK in the middle at the front with the older buildings, but that pale coloured Brewery Quay(?) certainly seems to have a problem! :eek:

The world is round is it not?......that Brewery building is simply falling away with the curvature of the earths surface, ANYONE can see that ( except Bri pehaps:exit::D)

Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick here, but wouldn't a 50mm lens on a full frame 35mm film camera be 50mm?

Jason hasn't mentioned the camera, so I assumed he was using a MF camera with 50mm lens and saying what the equivalent angle would be for a 35mm camera.
 
And to my old eyes it simply looks like converging verticals resulting from pointing upwards from a low viewpoint (quite close to pavement level at a guess from the figure).

Of course, it could simply be the buildings stepping backwards in surprise at seeing a film camera...

That must be it as we can't run down Bronnie gear can we. ;)
 
Told you it was the best looking thing in the box..:)
That's a decent looking frame too, little bit wibbly but it is a cheapy compact
 
We went to St Andrews on Sunday and took my new (to me) Olympus 35 RD to test with some HP5. I'd previously obtained a Trip 35 as a way back into film but struggled a bit with the zone focusing so decided to return to what I prefer, a rangefinder.
It was a cold and grey day but we had a good time and the camera seems to be working fine.

A shot from the Lakes (very like the shot that won January's FPOTY.... :D). A couple of shots from my Rolleiflex Automat stitched in PS.

My first night shot! Acros 100 in a Pentax MX with Pentax-M 35mm f/2 lens. Shot at 8 seconds, f/4. My light meter doesn't go down this far, so I guessed it at LV 1 (based on @steveo_mcg's cheat sheet: "Ambiant city light, not directly lit"). I couldn't work out what the line on the right was, at first; it doesn't appear in the next shot. Then I remembered the flight path to BHX goes just behind Kenilworth Castle!

Two shots later I dropped the remote release in the dark (found it next day), and of course I later wasted nearly half the film because the shot counter was out. :(
 
I 'think' I might have finally nailed the best location for the adaptor lens inside my TLR for the InsTLR adaptor :0)

Indoor halogen lighting always looks this orange with Instax film but I was more interested in the centre sharpness and vignetting after getting major vignettes with the original Lomo adaptor. I've now got the lens mounted on two clear plastic legs which don't show in the final result and from looking at a ground glass I've fitted inside an empty Instax cartridge I think it's as sharp as it can be (with a plastic adaptor lens in line before the film!)
 
Chirk is next on my list to visit :)

Automat had an outing. A few wonky shots. Exposure was ok following sort of sunny 16/random. Focussing on infinity I can do. Focussing on other things is a bit hmmm. Considering it was so difficult I was pleased to get anything at all!

I've shot 5 rolls of film this week in 5 different cameras and 4 different locations. Also did a 'roll' on digital in a 6th camera and 5th location today.

We saw this (and took a couple of shots) last week. Very funny.

That looks alright, you'd not just much more detail in the shadow without blowing out the right hand wall, maybe with a more specialist developer or an extra bit for luck and dodging a bit.

Thanks Steven. In the next shot (at 30 seconds) there is a bit more detail in the shadows though it doesn't really reveal much more. OTOH the right hand wall of the gatehouse was well on the way to over-exposed. Despite the advice in @Woodsy's signature, I think bracketing is probably a very good idea.

I did swap to a camera loaded with Vista 400, but that film is not quite finished yet. It appears to have better reciprocity characteristics than Tri-X!
 
On our recent St Valentine's Day break to Yorkshire, I found an Olympus OM1with a 50mm f/1.4 lens in a tea rooms in Bridligton - £50 so I felt compelled to buy it. Here are a couple of shots from my test film:
