More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

Lovely catch William. When was Panter made? I take it that it is a slide film? At least the colors remind me of what happened with underexposed slides...those rich saturated dark colors.

Here a few more from when I shot the last of the Type 55. And yes, the expressions are supposed to be blank and severe...





And here are two color versions...same scan, but just colorized and inverted. I kind of liked the tone...I made it a bit more towards selenium/cyanotypish.



Less toned...

Panther....isn't that an Apple OS? ;) I think Kodak Panther (a version of Ektachrome?) was about the same time they made Luminere etc. Lovely image William. You really are a master at capturing those fleeting moments.

I love your Type 55 images Stuart! Is this part of a series for yourself?

Here's another one of mine from Ship Creek (for Cindy!)...taken in the winter several years ago, but at high tide. If you stood where I took the photo above (with the Canon 1V) and turned 180 degrees, this is what you would see. At high tide, the entire "creek" fills with water and looks completely different. Cook Inlet has some of the highest tides in the world.

All I can say for certain is that I took this image with my Nikon F2. Can't remember the lens or film and I scanned it a few years ago.

You've posted some really nice 8x10 images of interesting structures before Jeremy. But this is the nicest "stucture" so far! Great tones. Really lovely model. :thumbup:

Beautiful image Jeremy!

There is something magical about those 8x10 images that set them apart from other formats, and this is quite obvious even on the web.
A contact print must be quite something to see!

How do you process and scan your negatives?

Nice work Jeremy, it's nice to see someone working with 8x10. I wish it were easier here...no one has the film, cameras, lenses, ability to enlarge or anything. If I wanted to shoot 8x10, I would have to import every single facet of it, and importing an 8x10 enlarger is beyond my abilities! Contact printing is great, but if I were to do that, I would rather go with a larger format like a 11x14 or 16x20 camera....then we are really talking money!
So for now, 4x5 is where I will stay...

Ben -- nice shot of the river there...it looks pretty treacherous. As for the type 55, it is not a series...I just took them all one evening to finish what I had left and to get some photos of my friend there who was moving back to his home in Germany.

Hahaha, thanks, Lloyd :p

Francois, this is expired 8x10 Delta 100 developed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 for 10'30'' at 72F. It is rotary developed on a Beseler rotating base in a Jobo 3005 Expert Drum. This negative was scanned by placing it emulsion side down on the Epson V700 scanner glass with a sheet of AN glass (AN side down) on top. This works wonderfully for scans up to ~1500 ppi. If I have to scan at a higher resolution or am printing very large and don't want to spend time dustbusting (rarely, I print small) I will wet mount to a sheet of glass suspended by quarters over the glass of an Epson 10000XL at work at 2400ppi. One of these days I'll send one of my shots out to scan on a drum at 4000ppi to see just how much detail is in there.

Stuart, I'm with you on the 16x20 camera, have always wanted one. I actually shot 11x14 for a while, but the aspect ratio isn't one I could 'see' in very well. I'm a petite individual so the 8x10 is the biggest I'll be going until my fame can afford me a few assistants :ROTFL:

Gary, Thank you for posting more of your black and white images from Alaska. Black and white seems to fit the stark, snowy landscape.

Jeremy, Beautiful model.

A shot with a Bessa R3M+CV 28mm f/1.9 Ultron on Kodak T400 the last time I used 35mm film about two years ago. Just picked up a nice Contax G2 with 35, 45, and 90 Zeiss lenses so I'll be shooting more film again soon.

Carl, There is lots of nice detail in your shot. That Ultron is one of my favorite lenses.
Congratulations on the new G2 kit. I'll be looking forward to more posts here from you with your new tools.:p

Thank you Cindy. The Ultron is a nice lens and I still use it on my m43 G1.

For those interested, Kodak Panther was indeed a E6 / 100 asa film. I used a lot of it back in 96-97. At the time I lived in Stockholm and I had found a shop which only sold 5 packs but at a really nice price. But I think the film was already on its way out at the time because they had this large box under the counter. In the end I bought the whole box and shared with friends. :))

Nice!! Love the light in the leaves on the right. I think you're gonna love this camera, and I'm looking forward to your ruin porn with it. :thumbup:

Matt, Congratulations on the new (very interesting) camera. I too am looking forward to more ruins with the new cam. Are you hand holding it? This photo is nice and sharp from corner to corner.
Just for clarification, when you said scanned and stitched, I assume you meant that you had to scan the 6x12 in two pieces. Do you have to cut your negative????:toocool: (Gosh, I hope that is not a really stupid question!)

hey thanks,

No I had it on a tripod at f11 and 5 minutes using hyperfocal focusing after I calibrated it earlier in the day.

I did not have to cut it at all. I used my nikon 9000 scanned in 6X8 then flipped it over to scan the other side then stitched the two together. I actually used that glass carrier very easy to do btw.

I love this camera and lens I will be shooting an abandoned motel coming up and all kinds of other stuff with it.

thanks for the comments, you will love your 9000!!:thumbs:
