Show us yer film shots then!

It is, indeed, a shame because the 6x17 format is amazing.

I agree, I think the shutter is the weakest point in the Reality So Subtle cameras. My first pinhole camera was a Holga WPC120 which could take a cable release. That was the strong point of the camera and the weak point was the tendency for the back to fall off !

I think you'll find that the patented "Quick-release back" is a feature, not a weakness.

I only take photos to show how a camera works but I was happy to see this from a few photos from around a local Church yard. Taken with a Canon T80 (yep, a T80) with 35-70mm FD AC lens.

Just so happens I have some top of the range photographic tape and it's available at £49.99 including vat and postage if your daft enough sorry I mean interested. Here it is in action
It can be used for many things, stopping light leaks,holding backs on, film leaders, taping to you hand should you forget the strap , you can even tape the camera to you eye so you can constantly see what your camera is seeing and never miss a shot !

Sorry for the Yuk yuk yuk digi photo

Where did you buy the artisan, hand-carved tripod?

 

[Topsy]

It took a while to get the scans back but here is a shot from my Dartmoor Photowalk last week. Bronica SQ-Ai, 65mm, Provia 100F. In hindsight the day was a bit contrasty for Provia, Portra would have coped better. Ho-hum.

 

[JimDun]

These are a couple of vintage shots taken in the back yard of our first house sometime in the late 80s (I've just been doing a bit of negative scanning).

Where did you buy the artisan, hand-carved tripod?

Funnily enough I can also supply loads of these at between £300 and £400 there is loads of old wood sorry I mean hand crafted masterpieces in the woods around me. They cost a lot because I call them Lomo tripods and mono pods !

I popped out this afternoon to the worlds' oldest railway, Tanfield Railway, and shot this on 4x5 paper negative.

I also shot a film version on TMax 100 but haven't developed that yet.

I absolutely love the look of these paper negative prints.
Chapeau Kevin Allan.

So here's one that will be marmite I'm sure. Jodrell Bank radio telescope shot on Kodak Tri-X 400, scanned and then given the AI Sky replacement treatment in Luminar 4. Somewhere I have a couple of long exposure astro shots so I may make a background out of one of them so I can say I shot the whole thing.

I ran a part roll through my Cosmic Symbol when it arrived. Off the test pics, I wasn't impressed, but then, I may have expected sharp and detailed images.
I have now accepted that I don't need sharp and detailed images from such a camera, or maybe not from any of my 35mm gear. It's a different aesthetic that I must look for (although I'm not sure what that is yet).
A recent holiday on the Suffolk coast allowed an opportunity to run off a roll with a more careful eye. Here's a couple.
