All brilliant. 1 & 3 are my faves. Also love this one on you Flickr....

Lovely shots. Never thought I'd see the Galleries in Washington on here, that's for sure.

Second one is really nice!
Would consider turning the whole thing 90° clockwise.

Polaroid SX-70 Time Zero AF Model 2
IMPOSSIBLE PX100

Dicki that image is amazing. First glance bought back a sudden visual I imagined after reading 'A sound of thunder' for the first time as a kid.

Polaroid SX-70

..like it.
Am definately regretting not having gotten a SX-70 years ago, when you could still buy various polaroid films easily, for reasonable prices.

Do people on here use these "instax" cameras from Fuji?
Never had one of these in my hands, neither one of the cameras nor a photo.
I'm really put off by their "bubblegum" product design, I mean what the fuck.

The sky is crackling with humidity! I love it. They're great.

Got a new scanner (imacon precision II) so decided to rescan the most recent MF frames and colour balance using colorperfect

shot in Valley of Fire, Nevada on a Mamiya 7 with Kodak Portra 160VC

Lovely road surface, went through there on a 3000 mile Harley tour in 2006. Hit one really big pothole and damaged my Nikon zoom which was in the top box, I had just switched off because the road surface was so smooth other than one huge pothole!

Nikon repaired it under warranty.

The lens, not the pothole.

Leica M2, 50 'cron, Fuji Neopan 400

Nice, shame it's over exposed.

Nowt a bit of burning wouldn't sort.

Now I'm learning about film scanning profiles. Either that or scanning in raw. Much work, but fun.

Have you posted a picture of him before? He looks really familiar

I just bought an Olympus MjuZoom. It is showing all signs of a dead motor - flash fires, shutter opens, lights light up, etc. - but the film will not wind on, and after shutter release it does not move the film on. Is it fucked?

Leica M2, 50 'cron, Fuji Neopan 400

Like it a lot.

Hmm, Neopan.
Always liked it a bit more than the Ilfords. Shame they discontinued the ISO 1600 one.

just won this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAMIYA-645-1000S-MEDIUM-FORMAT-FILM-CAMERA-80MM-F2-8-MAMIYA-SEKOR-LENS-MANUAL-/310872981613?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=3vtwuU57Gd1ExpUtsTKe0j0JwGg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc :D

Sick!

I have a couple of images of my own that I want to get large prints of so I can put them on the wall, I've got a coupes of questions about this...

Assuming the image is shot on a fine grain colour print film (ektar 100) with a sharp lens and no camera shake what's the biggest print I can expect to get from a 35mm neg.

Secondly I was wondering what the best way to do this would be?
Traditional printing or getting a high res scan and using software like perfect size and getting a digital print done?

Cheers in advance.

Edit: I feel like I've asked this before, apologies if I did.

I hope so, or you're being haunted by a man who made me depressed for a solid week. The conversation that followed was...grim.

He harass you for taking pictures?

Nah, just asked him if he was alright. We sat down for a smoke and he laid out the short version of his past 20 years. It was filled with far too many consecutive deaths. Told me he was 55.
