Show us yer film shots then!

Another paypal invoice of joy today.

Tried the Electra 100 and it's frankly weird and I don't really like it. Used the Trip as it has no film window on the back. It looks a bit like a bad HDR photo,

Found I'd got a 20mm for a minolta SLR so took that out with yet more of the expired XP2.

Also dug out my old Fuji DL-10 which was a birthday present quite a few decades ago. Still works!

Some nice shots there Suzy @srichards .

Who developed the XP2 ?

Looks great.

Not sure how many rolls i have of it. Shot it at ASA 80 i think. Might try a second one to see if i get different results :)

Looks like its respooled kodak aero colour. Not tried any flic film before. Wonder if it should be processed with ECN2 not c41?

The car show ones shot in the fuji DL-10 are fuji 400 superia.
 
Want to take a shot with max DOF but have a crappy back ground? ......after the shot you can always cheat o_O

I have shot one roll of Aerocolor IV, in 220 format. The colours were a bit different to your average Kodak films, but not totally wacky. It was developed by the The Darkroom UK in C41

The photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn is buried in the graveyard of St. Trillo's church in Rhos. I visited once to try and find the grave, which I didn't despite having downloaded a map showing its location. However, the church and graveyard are pretty photogenic, well worth a visit if you in the area.

Thanks for that Peter, I had not heard of him So looked up his work. Very nice interpretations and looks to have been a master of atmosphere.
 
As you may have read, Coburn build a kaleidoscopic device, the vortoscope, so I've ordered some mirror finish perspex to build one. I'll mount it on an old 58mm screw thread polarising filter with the glass taken out so it can be rotated.

I had a ride up to Hadrain's Wall last week and stopped for a butty when we got there. Managed to get a couple of holiday type snaps of the wall and one of the old Roman Forts, The people on the hill were actually stood where the centurions were on look out for the marauding hoards, incredible.

Went for a day out while the weather was nice, ended up in a quietly beautiful unobtrusive village that goes by the name of Darwen. Its in Lancashire on the A666 between Bolton and Blackburn.
Its one of those places that gives you space, and there is time to breath life in deeply surrounded by folk who have the time to chat and offer friendly advice for the visitor,
I know from personal experience that to be true, I observed a chap striding purposefully from the magnificent market hall clutching a small white wrapper and carrying it as if it was a crown on a red velvet cushion, I just knew it was a Pork Pie, all my birthdays had come at once, I judge towns and villages by the quality of their butchers and bakeries in general but in particular their pork pies. Of course I asked about the pie before he had time to sit down and open the wrapper to eat it,

We had a reet good chat, and that's how I if found the village, beautifully elegant buildings, wide open spaces and friendly down to earth people.

I chose the F90x to take along and the general purpose "walk around" lens the 28-105 also my last roll of Agfa Photo Apx 100 pushed 2/3 stop. I am pleased with the results, as probably you may have guessed by now, one of those occasions when the whole role turns out nicely. The FX 55 developer loves silver.

I think it's a rotational camera shake - I do it all the time! You can see it on the wall/railing on the RHS whereas the wall on the LHS is sharp.
 
Did 2 rolls with the Snapic.

Weird electra 100, it's very light pipey but sometimes it works anyway.

My favourite of all of the Electra so far:

Also chucked some HP5 in it. I don't normally even like HP5 but somehow...

Sunday was World Pinhole Day so I took the RSS 6X17 pinhole camera to West Norwood Cemetery on Sunday, all four frames are below.

West Norwood #4 2026-04-28-0004 by Keith Hudson, on Flickr

By frame #3 I was getting over confident and playing with layers, um and by frame #4 I forgot to use the top pinhole for things that are tall. Doh. My RSS 617 is an early one with just two pinholes, the later cameras have three so you get down a bit , straight ahead and up a bit. Why only four shots , because that is what you get from a roll of 120 film and it is a right pain to re load, not something I am going to attempt outside.
By next April I want to have built my own 5x4 pinhole camera using double dark slides, this may or may not happen.
 
I had the first version, as zx9 has I think. The only problem I had was with the shutter using it outside in bright light. The four pictures I took on one occasion showed my blurred fingers at the edge of the frames as I opened and closed the shutter. I sold the first camera and bought the new model, with three pinholes this time. The reason for replacing the first camera, with two pinholes, was to take advantage of the filter holder so, in the rare circumstances where the exposure is very short, that I could apply a ND filter and , in any event, use a yellow or red filter. The three alternative pinholes do allow vertical shift but it isn't easy to evaluate what the difference between each view is when you take a shot, blindingly obvious when you look at the negatives.

Still, a nice chunky, quirky and very basic camera.

By the way, your pictures are nicely exposed. What film did you use, any details of the exposure setting.

Hi Peter, that is your old camera which I did indeed buy from you in the sales section here.
I have not noticed the inclusion of my own finger when opening the pin hole sliders, I generally hold my left hand over the pinhole close to but not touching the camera then slide open the shutter with my right hand, I then remove my left hand and start timing the exposure, reversing the procedure at the end of the exposure.

The film used was an outdated roll of FP4+ which because it was a very bright day I rated at 50 ISO to get the exposure times a little longer, they were between 20 sec and just under two minutes, exposure measured and RLF taken into account by the Pinhole Assistant iPhone app. Developed in DDX 1:4 for 8 min. at 20 Deg.C.

I don't use it often but it is fun in the unpredictable way of all things pinhole.
 
A few more from Darwen town center walk around.

I cannot believe the detail in these shots, better than my medium format efforts.

At 12 ISO ! that worked remarkably well. I have been using ancient Fuji Color Xtra 400 at 200 and still getting a bit of under exposure and very vivid reds (the traffic lights reminded me) , I might try the next roll at 100.

The pictures are overexposed and I think maybe rating the film at 25-30asa would have been a better choice, but I was able to pull them back in post processing.
