Pete, hope that your safe and secure from the bushfires.

We were in Yarra Glen last year visiting the De Bortoli vineyard & drove through Healesville. I see it mentioned here in the newspapers as being very close to the major fires.

Nice shots everyone. Helen -- I see you are not afraid of grain! That's good...
Coney Island is a really interesting place...lots of quirky individuals.

Helen,

Great grainy pics! They have this woderful feeling to them that just can't be explained and that's exactly what I like.

Stuart,

As always very nice use of the Hassy

Lubitel/ Superia 100

i've found the best results if you lower the speed of the tri-x to about 200iso and use this developer. It can be used as a 2 bath, but also works as a single bath developer. it's excellent for high contrast scenes (is usually a N-1 or N-2 developer)

Taken with a Graflex RB Super D, 190mm lens, f5.6. Tri-X 400 (@320). This camera belonged to my Grandfather, who died in 1965, and hadn't used it for a number of years before that. Originally a 4x5 camera, this one has a 120 roll film adapter:







The camera itself (sorry, it's a digital image;)):

Love those nei1 -- what are you shooting with? Old polaroid? Or does fuji make film that fits in it? There is something special about the instant film palette.

Well, it has been great here for the past two weeks -- just under freezing, clear, and snow on the ground with very little wind. Normally at this time of year it is one degree above freezing, sleeting and blowing at 50mph (20+m/s).
So I went to the beach with my friend Eva from my Icelandic classes and took some pictures. All 203FE and 110/2 on Acros in ID-11 (my xtol is dead and rodinal has not arrived!)

Stuart,
Those hassy frames are really nice. Is that with the 110mm?

I put one of my hassy frames in a small application called "poladroid"...quite fun

Hey William -- yes, those are all the 110mm f/2 -- it is just a perfect lens for the type of portraits I like to make. Those were mostly between f/5.6 and f/2.8. The dark lines are real, they are captured by the scanner, which scans a bit wider than the image area.

I love the look of the poladroid! I have heard of it, but never played with it. I am just sad that polaroid (and 665 and type 54 in particular) has gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Hi Stuart,

Yeah, the 110/f2 is really something special. Too bad they don't make one for the 500 series...

The poladroid is quite fun indeed. I recently saw that some pola fan decided to take over the pola factory in Holland and will try to makeit worthwhile with new techniques. Let's hope it works out as I'm a big fan myself. I will borrow a 4x5 camera soon and plan to buy some Fuji polaroid to try it out. I will of course be putting quite some amount of tri-x and portra through it too!!

Cheers
W.
