is rather nice , the millstones adding the final touch

Thanks Asha. There's a whole pile of millstones there - I think it was where they were stockpiled before being transported away - left over from when they were quarried and made.

A couple of 10x8 portraits of mother and daughter taken yesterday alongside the river in the village.

Camiile ( the daughter), poor lass she had a serious eye irritation which got the better of her just as the shutter fired.....The negative looked like the resulting image was blurred but it's not bad, the minimal dof managed to hold her face in focus and her expression is, shall we say, totally natural

The shallow DoF on the first works really well

Very impressed with your focus on these ones Asha, since DoF must be very tight indeed.

I am not shooting slide film again. Mainly because I can't find anyone to develop it without stuffing it up...

Yeah but when you get tones like that you know you are going to shoot more

That looks ok to me Ian. What are the rest of the frames like?

Did you get scans done or scan at home?

Peak Imaging. Never stuffed a single slide of mine

Likewise - I use them mostly because they're on the doorstep, but their E6 developing has always been great. My home scanning is usually the weak point...

I'm in two minds as to whether I like this or if it's just a mess. It's birch trees backlit by morning sunlight. I only had an incident meter so had to do my best guestimating, but the exposure is not too bad, I don't think.

Made on FP4 in an Eos 5 with the standard zoom in 1995...

For me its almost there, perhaps a bit too contrasty and also that weird right angle branch distracts me (but that's probably me) but I like the concept.

Here's one from the Scotland trip a few years back now


Hiding in the clouds by Jonathan Woods, on Flickr

Genuinely considering getting another 645 having sold the one that this was taken on. Lesson of the day.

Don't. Sell. Cameras.

After disposing of all my old chems realised I hadn't actually bought any new developer....I thought the same was true of the fixer but then I remembered I had an unopened pack of powdered Adofix P 11 so mixed that up. I ended up taking a chance and making up a batch of Ilford paper developer, Worked well but I was guessing about time and dilution, seems I got it close but it has wacked up the grain.

That's really nice Matthew. I always like the look of FP4 but hardly ever shoot it myself...

Many thanks! Finding FP4 more forgiving than Delta 100. Not sure if its the film, or the processing (XTOL), or both that forgives my under/over exposure?

...sometimes I really don't.

The latter shot is probably as much down to my farting around trying to get the colours looking right when scanning as Portra's rendering, to be fair.

There are shots on this roll that I'm really happy with the colours, and others which, no matter how much I made adjustments, they allways looked a little off - too warm / too cool. Too green / too magenta. Etc. etc. In the end I just went with what looked the best (only to immediately start doubting myself...). There's a good reason why I tend to favour black and white.

Fe2, HP5 pushed a stop or two and 80-200 f4.5 zoom, or it might have been a 300mm f4.5ish.

With you all the way on this. I too find Portra the devil to scan, and have remembered once again why I prefer B&W.

I do like this composition. Done it on lots of cameras and with lots of different focal lengths. Today was the turn of the Sprocket Rocket with Diafine as my auto-ISO
