Analog film photography and cameras

I would say crop it at the bottom of the tiles on the top of the little wall.

I hadn't really considered cropping it, to be honest. Looking at it a bit more now though, I quite like how it goes from dark to light from bottom to top: the pavement is the darkest bit, then the ground-floor windows, then the roof/window details with the sky being a good contrast to the pink (sorry GA2G)

OM's are deep - would love to try out the bracketing exposure thing goodness...

fm2 gets the most use - got the mamiya primarily to shoot polaroid with manual control which is V fun! - but its a tank and only comes out on trips to scotland and places equally as epic for landscapes.

trying to get the yashica out more as mirrored worlds with such lovely DOF are so much more beautiful to look at!

Couple of scans from a trip to Scotland last year. How simple is setting up a Flickr account?

Very.
Especially if you already have a Yahoo email account.

Thanks for the comments on the pinholes. From my most recent batch of developing, the path to Tolsta Traigh Mor (beach). Petri GX1, PolypanF, Rodinal 1+25 for 6 mins

^ that photo is intense. I love it. is it snowdon?

Testing some 120 Adox CHS ART 100 asa in Adox Borax MQ.

Nah, its the west coast of scotland, just north of Glasgow.

That was going to be my second guess. I frequent that area a lot, so idyllic!

fly, I checked my housemates OM10 and it turns out she didn't have a manual adapter on it.

haha! no worries mate. thanks for checking anyway. I went and picked it up today and everything seems to be in working order. I need to pick some film up, any recommendations?

Also Nosferatu.

Ah, yes. Forgotten about that film.

Another car boot sale, another selection of shitty old cameras. Got another Zenit-E for £2 with case and lens, to replace my girlfriend's Zenit-B. Then got a cheap point-and-shoot panoramic 35mm camera for £1, then a Kodak Baby Brownie for 50p. Unfortunately unlike the later Brownies, it's not possible to convert it to 35mm, so it'll be going back up for sale. And I also got a couple of free Ilford FP4 35mm from 1974.

I also met a guy who said his Praktika was modified to take photos in complete darkness by lining the lens and body with alum crystals. Not sure if he was joking or not.

fly, you could try out some of the new Kodak Portra 160/400 or Ektar 100.

Delta 400 in Canon A35F.

A few snaps from the Tweed run - Leica M6, Voigtlander 35/1.4SC and Fuji Pro400

^ I managed to get one of these off eBay for about £25 a couple of weeks ago, finally finished my first film at the weekend so I'll get those developed and scanned asap. For the past year or so I've been using an Olympus TRI XB400 and I've managed to get a few decent shots from it...

Contax 139 with cheapo film.
From a pretty old roll, got damaged and this is really the only decent shot out of the lot.

A shot from a random roll I put through my Mamiya C330.

Just bought an old Brownie camera that takes 120 film... looking forward to experimenting with it.

^ I loaded some 35mm into my series-one Brownie 127 today. Just needed a little modification to hold the can in place, and the leader trimming a bit, and I'll need to unload it in the dark. Also I was chatting to the guy in my local camera shop who said that Snappy Snaps (of all places) will happily print the sprocket holes, which will be exposed using 35mm film. Which Brownie have you got?
