Consumer flatbed scan of a print. Original is a lot smoother with more shadow detail, but I kind of like the grittiness of the scan.
Nikon FM2, 24mm, Ilford HP5+, D-76, printed on some 5x7 ultrafine paper. Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, June 2016. The dark streak across the sky is where my squeegee scratched the negative.

Ari,
I have a GA645Pro which lacks the zoom, and I call it my medium format instamatic. It really lets you use 120 film as if it were in a point and shoot:

It's great to have a MF camera that does AE, AF and has a decent zoom range as well.
Chris, nice stuff, the sharpness of these Fuji lenses is very impressive and the ease of handling makes them a winner.

Finally cleared up enough to take some night-time photos. This was a roughly 2.5 hour exposure (stacked). Would love to have been out at one of the national parks but it didn't work out that way, maybe next time.

I have to agree. So much of this particular technique (and similar) has already jumped the shark in my view, but this is really exceptional. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks guys. There's certainly a lot of potential compositions out there to do this with but (pardon the pun here) the stars really have to align to get a good chance at capturing clear circles/ovals. This might be the most successful I've been - many times I've had beautiful skies for a minute and then clouds roll in.
Anyway - Marty, exposure data is f/3.5, 32 seconds, at ISO 1600. Usually I would program my remote to shoot at ISO 400 and go for around two minutes but it ran out of batteries today so couldn't do that, and the internal intervalometer only allows you to shoot to 30 seconds (which is actually 32) per shot.

Very nice image! Could you have used the 'Bulb' setting on the camera to get past 32 seconds? I think I read that somewhere....
Yes you can use the bulb setting (which is how you set the camera when using the remote control). Using a bulb setting though and just choosing a corresponding aperture/ISO for the length of exposure you want is problematic for a number of reasons. First and most important, the longer the exposure the more the sensor heats up and you can get some ghastly noise and image degradation on digital when going past even just a minute or two, depending on the local temp (in the heat of south GA, a 2-4 minute exposure in the summer night would look like it was shot at ISO 6400 even if it was set at ISO 100, just due to noise pollution from the heat, in my experience). Secondly, if clouds roll in and you've left the camera alone you may destroy the image by washing out the sky/stars from the diffusion of the clouds, whereas in the multi-image method you can choose to "stop" the exposure at any time, even in post/editing. Finally, a nice little bonus in doing the multi-exposure method is you can make a time-lapse movie with the still images. So overall the multi-shot method is best for digital. Using a programmable remote you can do multi-shots of any length and like I mentioned I usually try to make the exposure about a minute or two for best results. The thing lasts a long time on AAA batteries but it tends to die at inopportune moments!

Bryan, Thanks for the explanation!
Bryan do you use the noise reduction? Most my lightning shots are between 2 and 8 seconds with equal time in the post noise reduction. I normally shoot at 100 depending on the storm but still have problems with ambient light. I haven't used the stack feature.
I never use in-camera noise reduction personally (because it greatly extends the time between shots). In the stacking program I use you can use subtractive "dark frames" to reduce noise, which I've used before and it works well for startrails but I almost always forget to do it! Which applies to this photo. Looking at this photo at 200% on my monitor I really don't see much noise to get excited about. I do always add a selective curves adjustment on these types of images to darken the blacks in the sky and brighten the stars a bit if needed, which pretty much pushes down the noise floor. Any kind of real issues present come from movement in the grass/trees due to wind. I will probably re-edit this later when I get home from my trip and use a single frame from the 290 images shot with very little movement to replace the foreground to make a sharper overall image but this was just a quick stack and resize from JPEGs. I also will edit the RAWs more appropriately and make sure the color/DR is where I want it to be but on a laptop I don't have much patience for doing that kind of work!
BTW I have seen more lightning bolts here in AZ the past two weeks than probably my entire time in Valdosta. Yesterday before dark I was shooting some angry clouds outside when a bolt struck pretty close, so I high-tailed it inside!
Bryan,
Great catch !
Doing the math (32 sec X 290 frames = 150 min or 2.5 hrs), it's clear that the exposures follow eachother immediately. I.e no time to allow the sensor to cool down.
Doesn't the sensor heat up from the repeated firing and use ?
Yes, the trick to shooting lightning is knowing when not to go out. There was one measly cloud tonight. It crapped out just as I got setup and sprayed down with anti-skitter juice. This year is shaping up to be worse than last year.
Dennis, that is a reasonable assumption and something I asked myself as well. Trying it both ways though proved that the short rest does affect the results. As an aside, the old D700 was much more susceptible to this problem, with really high noise on long exposures, while the D800 in high heat situations doing longer expsures did something different - the image was full of large speckles, almost like there was a million dead pixels. It was weird and frustrating, as it ruins the image unless you put in a lot of work in post editing all of that.
Marty, I have been enjoying not having any mosquitoes over here!
Late to the party but wow Bryan! The hummingbird and the star trails photos are so so nice.

Corran,
Now that you mentioned it, I recall hearing about an issue with D800s and long exposures.
As you described - large areas of seemingly dead pixels
I never experienced the problem... Perhaps because I rarely make extremely long exposures.
However, your multiple exposure method seems an excellent alternative to the problem.
Very helpful for future reference. Thanks,
Dennis

Too busy with manual labour to go out and take new photos today, so tonight I scanned some old ones. These were taken in May 1980 in Minorca, with a Pentax K1000, FP4 (maybe there was no + in those days), developed by a lab in Brighton called Paragon, and now scanned on the X1:

It is nice to see these. We're in Menorca right now with two days left of our vacation.

Ramiro,
One of the odd things I remember well about Minorca was the government photographer at the bottom of the steps from the plane, photographing all of us, one by one, as we got off the plane in Mahon. He had some kind of rangefinder, and in those days I didn't know enough to notice what it was. He must have looking for enemies of the state!

They used to publish the photo in the local paper.
We come to Mahon every summer. Such a great island.
Thanks Ari.
I hope no one minds if I post one more. This is a 2 hour stacked exposure from last night in the real desert of Yuma, AZ. Only a mile or so from the Yuma Proving Grounds military base as well as apparently near the airplane corridor towards Tucson or Phoenix, so quite a bit of air traffic. Still pretty dark and this time a more interesting foreground I hope. Only here through Wednesday unfortunately so trying to make the most of it but dang it is hot. I was out walking at 6:30am and it was already too dang hot.

Cool shot, Bryan!
;) If I had a nickel for every time someone said "dry heat" on this trip I could pay for my plane tickets! Ha, yes it is "dry" but man I am so used to the GA/FL heat and humidity - here I just feel like I am in a frying pan! Actually the worst part in my opinion is the sun beating down being so bright, mostly because I have migraines triggered by light sensitivity so I've been hitting the extra strength Advil a lot lately. I am taking shelter inside now because it's a legit Dust Bowl out there with crazy winds and of course the thermometer keeps climbing...
Some more from 1980 here. Firstly the tunnel leading into Fort Marlborough on the south shore of Cala de San Esteban. This fortress was dismantled under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht:

Terrific shots of Cala de San Esteban, but the portraits of the lovely woman are superb. 'Daughter, I presume from the resemblance to the older portrait subject. I'm sure they'll be glad for the rest of their days for you fine lens work.
Finally got to experience real sand dunes today. The scale and perspective was mind blowing to my flat-lander brain.
Kept my nice 14-24mm in the car because the wind was crazy and I didn't want to ruin that lens. Instead, a very capable and useful lens was used here, the 25-50mm f/4 AI, at 25mm. That's my uncle at the top:

Outstanding Bryan! I love sand dunes. What dunes are these?
Thanks Marty, I think they were called the Imperial Dunes or something like that. I looked online and they aren't even marked on a map, except for one specific place we went was the Glamis Desert Dune Buggy Park. Way way south Cali, only a mile or so from the Mexico border is where they start and then they go for a long ways north.
I wish I could go back to those sand dunes more but unfortunately I have to work today and then tomorrow it's back to the East Coast for me :(.

Thanks, guys! I'm excavating in the basement to find old negatives, which have been shamefully stored with loving neglect.

I'm still nibbling away at the films and slides dredged up from the basement. These are 1983 Fuji slides, one from Ibiza and the other from Pippa's first trip to Canada. Both K1000, 50/1.8, Nikon 9000 scans (I can't be bothered to dismount them for the X1!):

A couple of summer portraits shot on Tri-X 1600 (pushed). First one shot with a Leica M4 & Voigtlander 28mm/f2, second shot with a Contax G1 & Carl Zeiss 35mm/f2.
I load pushed Tri-X on cameras with wide-angle lenses for hyperfocal "street" shots and I end up shooting portraits... :o :)

But seriously, it is so cool you keep all these images. It is nice to see the old film/processing after all this time. I realize most kids in this generation will have different memory formats. Well, mine will have quite a few analog shots still.
I hope I'm not boring anyone with my treasure trove of old photos!

Chrism, your archives are great, keep them coming! And it's easy to see why you fell for Pippa!

'Big smile. I'm w/ Koraks about your lovely portraits of Pippa. When she took a liking to you, you were done for. And most likely - so was she. The images of that story are magnificent.
koraks, nice usage of the 35mm in a 6x12 back! Gotta do some more of those soon.
Thank you! You are, of course, right. I'm doomed. Stuck with her. Poor me.:rolleyes:
I bought a Pentax ME Super in 1984, but it died a couple of years ago. I found I could replace it very cheaply at KEH, but today that camera has failed too. Three shots exposed normally, and all the other so underexposed I'm not sure whether the shutter stuck or some electronic problems have struck. KEH can't help me this time (just a $3 'as is' ME Super). So I've found a K2 instead, as I do like aperture priority metering. (K1000 from 1976 and an MX still work fine, as do a couple of SF1s and an MZ-S.)

I was going to say that the K-1000 would be a good sub but not auto. I never like the ME Super. Too small, even smaller than the Olympus OM series, which I owned and loved.
Ya know. We should all be so luck to have someone for that length of time. Your photos express your feelings. Well done.

Well I tried to resuscitate the ME Super with new batteries and a roll of Acros 100, but even so, there were four frames out of the 24 (home rolled) that just didn't happen. Blank. I played with the MX for a bit but I find it hard to like. So tomorrow, weather permitting, I shall go out with my 1976 student grant money on one shoulder in the form of a K1000, and with an FM3a on the other. Something to do until the K2 turns up. Amusingly I went into the drugstore and asked for LR44 batteries. "How many?" she asked. "How many do you have?" I bought all of them. It's very convenient that the K1000, MX, ME Super, K2, FM3a and OM-2n all use the same battery!
I'll scan the Acros later and see if there is anything worth sharing. Thank you all for your kind words. I am sensible of my good fortune (even when doing the laundry, Dick!)

I had my Mamiya 645 1000s serviced before my last trip, replace light seals and CLA. First time out on the trip and the battery was dead. New foam inserts apparently left the meter on. I could not find a battery for that in Page, AZ, Las Vegas, NV, or anywhere in between. When I got home I found them at the local Walgrens. Go figure. I now have F2's with various viewfinders. I hardly ever touch them any more.

The orange edges are due to the film not lying perfectly flat against the back. Light bounces around and exposes the film from the backside, resulting in a local redscale effect.

Fantastic Peter! That is a nice place. I just got finished with a couple of architecture photo gigs and your tips last time I posted some were very helpful - and seeing such nice balance and composition here with your shot is another learning experience (would've liked to see the setup like Randy!). I'd post an example from my latest gig except it was on a military base and don't think I should in case I'd possibly get in trouble.

Thanks Bryan! The setup was pretty simple. I put a Speedotron 102 head in a 45" Halo modifier near the ceiling to camera left. That brought the overall level of the room up to match the windows. After that, I painted with light using a V850 speedlight with a little softbox, using my Iphone to fire the camera and see a quick jpg of the results.
Nice, I figured you had a bit more than just a "room" light from the look of the violin. Now that you mention it, I can see the shadow from the couch indicating the main light camera left. Thanks for the details!
I couldn't bring anything big due to flying but I had a couple of Nikon Speedlights with me on my gig. But either way nothing could make the stark military base construction and ugly fluorescent light look all that great! That's a beautiful apartment/studio.

Thanks Bryan! The setup was pretty simple. I put a Speedotron 102 head in a 45" Halo modifier near the ceiling to camera left. That brought the overall level of the room up to match the windows. After that, I painted with light using a V850 speedlight with a little softbox, using my Iphone to fire the camera and see a quick jpg of the results.
Hmmm, Ideas!
Nice color color and detail. It has a very smooth and rich feel to it. Very nice flooring. I bet the room has its own reverb built right in.
Now, I have some 20 guitars and several reel to reels in my front room. (amongst all the wires cables and speakers. It is a real mess)

That is the Chicago Art Instiute out the left window.

I spent the day in Atlanta today as my fiancee was attending a training seminar. Wednesday mornings are totally dead, and Atlanta really isn't much of a tourist destination. So I was pretty much alone most of the day.
Here's two images, both with my Nikon F2 and 15mm f/3.5, on T-Max 100 developed in Rodinal 1:50:

And Randy - there's been some controversy in Atlanta over building a new stadium to replace the Georgia Dome and moving the Braves out of Turner Field to a new locale. The new stadium is being built behind the Georgia Int'l Plaza and so I took this other photo to perhaps represent some of the public's sentiment - but I have no commentary really as it doesn't matter to me...plus it might be political?? ;)

Good for you. I have never liked the plastic reels and tanks. Nikor all the way!
Nice tone and texture on those flowers. Hard balancing act with the dark centers.
Red flowers just seem to justify the existence of silver halide photography.

That almost sounds like an excuse. I think making photographs af what happens to be around you is actually on of the best things you can do as a photographer. I recall a famous photographer (don't remember who) saying: "if you cannot make great photo's in or around your house, you cannot make great photo's anywhere".

After viewer's comments on it elsewhere, I feel like I need to clarify that my killing the hare was an accident and I felt terrible about it. I photographed it because I photograph things that make me feel. Sometimes I feel happy, and other times, such as here, I feel sad, but either way, if I'm compelled to photograph, I photograph.
No worries. I've accidentally killed many a hare by running over them with my car, when I lived in northern Quebec. They were delicious.

I can't develop any color film at the moment so I decided to bring out the digital for this. Perhaps I'll shoot it in b&w but wanted to test this composition. This is at a local lake and there's not a whole lot of foreground to compose with...I tried to line up the streetlamp across the way with the north star but it's a bit off. The light to the left flared way worse than expected! Anyway, here was the results:

Corran, one of your earlier photos inspired me to try some nighttime photography when I was in Jackson, WY a week ago.
The Milky Way was especially bright and there was no moon. The orange glow above the Teton range is light from Jackson or Teton Village.
This is a single exposure of 20 seconds @ ISO 3200, processed in LR with "s" curve added and slight increase in exposure. WB around 3900. Camera was a D810 with 20mm Nikon f1.8 lens. The lens exhibits noticeable coma if the image is enlarged.
http://www.jackandbeans.com/pbd/wy_jacksonastro_1.jpg
Nice one Dennis! I imagine the darkness was quite good (especially capitalizing on no moon). The new Nikkor 20mm f/1.8 has intrigued me, but I'm sad to hear it has some coma problems.
The best place in all of GA for stars is just about an hour and a half NE of me now and I just recently learned of a astronomy club that has occasion meetings there for stargazing. Looking forward to maybe connecting with them and shooting there in the winter when the weather is best.

Dennis, that is a fine shot. Such darkness is hard to find east of the Mississippi River. Jim is right. the silhouette of the mountains does make the photo. You did not have any kind of equatorial mount and clock drive on the tripod? Most of my shots at as little as 8 seconds can detect rotation. But then again I am not using a 20 mm lens.

Thanks, Bryan. No moon really helped tremendously.
Re the lens. I'm pretty sure coma is somewhat of an issue given the exposure of 20 seconds @ f2.8. The time which is well within the '500 rule'. My understanding is that coma should be disappear at 2.8 or above. I will post sections of the image (center and corner) at 100% when I have a chance.
I'm sure you will have a great time at your GA location where stargazers gather.
Dennis -- One of the most beautiful Milky Way photos I've seen. That orange glow really sets it off.
Thanks, Jim, for that generous compliment ! The funny thing was that the glow was so faint - it was not evident to the eye until the camera processed image appeared. The surprises that appear in a time exposure are pretty amazing.

Thank you very much, Marty.
We intentionally went to a location where I could get the mountains in the image - thanks to a local astronomer.
Nothing fancy on the tripod. The 20mm lens is fairly wide, although I've seen some Astro photographers using lenses at 14mm and getting away with exposures at 30 seconds and apparently no sign of movement.
Jmarmck
22-Sep-2016, 12:31
So I guess the 500 reflector lens is out of the question. :p
Does that 20 mm have a focusing stop at infinity? Auto focus is the bane of nighttime photography. None of my auto focus lenses have a stop at infinity. I frequently have to use some distant point to zoom to with the view screen to get sharp focusing. I have resorted to using older manual focus lenses (with the AI conversion). I have an 85 mm f1.9 that I use for lightning it is a nice portrait lens too.

The sun was just rising behind the building and the front of the building was very dark.
I took a series of bracketed exposures and compiled them in Photomatix.
A good amount of follow up work in PS was necessary to get the image to this point. I'm happy with the result based on my original visualization.
The result is a bit unusual and flat looking, a bit eerie, due to the lack of good lighting on the facade. However, the marquee and the sky add interesting color.
Comments are welcome.

This technique is often used with inappropriate surreal results, but with this subject in these conditions it is impressive.

Denis,
I dont like how much the light fades towards the top of the building. I think I would also like the sky a bit brighter. The image is eye catching!

Striking image ! Minor quibble - the verticals are over-corrected ( top right ). Took me a while to work out how a "Perfectly Aligned" image looked very slightly wrong when printed. Reading Norman McGrath ,who explained that a slight degree of undercorrection looked "better". Very slight though ; adjust to "Correct", then back a Tad. Tad being say .5 degrees.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments Jim, Nicholas and Ian,

Thanks, Jim - Yes, HDR effects are often applied in excess.
This is a simple blending of bracketed exposures with minimal adjustment.
Denis,

The little bit of lighting at street level accounts for the falloff at the top. It did not bother me, because I remembered how it was early that morning. Now that you mentioned it... I should improve on it. I had a lighter, brighter sky then let it go darker in preference to more saturated color.

You caught me on that, Ian. You have a keen eye. There is a slight over correction and I thought I could get away with leaving it ! Under correction would be better, I agree. I've heard that, too.
Next go round I'll try to improve it.
Thanks to all for the input.

What's wrong with your sunflower - normally they look straight into the sun :-)
The FX39 thing works fine out of your hands,
Ritchie
;D
Surprisingly they were all facing away. In fact I'm not sure if I've ever seen a sunflower really looking straight at the sun! Thanks.
Our sunflowers love to "chase" the sun, they follow the sun during the whole day.
May be the reason for calling them sunflowers :-)
Perhaps this behaviour depends on climatic circumstances, I don't know.

That's a badass sewing machine. Looks like you have the table also. My freshman year in college left me with one more class to sign up for, but my top choices were already full. Another guy told me to sign up for "Introduction to Costuming" which would fulfill a fine art requirement. I signed up and learned how to sew. There were projects like making small things and then a button down shirt. Along the way we made costumes for the theater productions. Despite getting a bit of shit from other people, it's one of the best skills I've acquired. I've made my own camping gear (shells, quilts and even a backpack). I also made curtains and bedding(for my son when he was in a crib). All in all it's a skill I'm glad I learned.
Backpack (external frame is from a Jansport). This served me well for many years but I've switched to an Osprey that has the curve/netting that keeps the back off the back.

Thanks. Wow, awesome, your project was ambitious. Sewing is a handy thing to know that's for sure. Here is another project I did. I had to make it twice because the first one the sewing was so crapy plus I was figuring it out as I went. The blue section has plastic between two layers of Cordura fabric to protect my synthetic winch rope and hold shape. The black section is optional to put on.

Nice, process a little more and go towards bromoil.
Shot a half-dozen rolls today at the biggest festival of the year in my new town of Dahlonega. Just pulling a few of the first images off the scanner.
They had a period costume contest and I legitimately scared this toddler when my Nikon F2 and motor drive started chattering away at full speed! Shot with a 10.5cm f/2.5 pre-AI (Sonnar) lens on TMX of course but shot @ 200 and developed accordingly in FX-39 to boost contrast (cloudy day):

Some old-school home BW/color gear that just collects dust now. And with a calibrated Kodak density step tablet, I could use that PM2A as a densitometer for measuring BW negatives too.

Thanks Pali! I noticed in your image the two red poles really add something to the composition. I likely would've automatically moved to avoid such an obstacle but that would have been the wrong choice. Nice colors.
Speaking of which, I was able to setup my color development stuff this evening in a small bathroom and get some of my backlog of films done. I am currently negotiating with a contractor on building out my darkroom just how I want it...it's been lame lately not having my regular facilities. I miss having the color option. Anyway here's a photo from a couple weeks ago at a farm - a bunch of nice little pumpkins for cooking. Leica M6, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 2000, Provia 100F:

Will do! It won't be anything super fancy but I am planning on modular work benches on wheels that I will be able to take with me if I move.
Here's one more color image, at a sunflower farm. Same specs as above but I stacked two exposures to get the shadow area up in the face of the flower:

Months ago I acquired a scanner from a member here, it just have arrived last week. So, now I'm starting to scan those prints which I don't have any negatives to reprint or scan: working directly with the paper. That's funny, as we have had several conversations on the forum about how film & paper can last for ages, and now I'm trying to recover for permanence purposes a lot of analog material using digital tools.
Anyway, some shots from the '80ies of the last century when some members weren't born yet.
