Flowers Anyone?

Jonathan, the roses are gorgeous!

Thanks very much. Pretty good for 18 year-old film! Admittedly I did do some color correction to the final image, such as I could. It was a bit more orange in the original than it appears here.

Jonathan, the roses are gorgeous!

Agreed, and that polaroid 79 turns them into a work of art.

[jcoldslabs]

Thank you for saying so, David. Old Polaroid film doesn't guarantee artistry in and of itself, of course, but when the right elements come together (light, framing, focus, etc.) it is a wonderful photographic medium. Too bad my stash is coming closer to its end with each passing day. But as long as I've maximized my use of it, I'm happy.

I made this ages ago but it was a disaterous mess of dust and light leaks, but here it is semi cleaned up. 5x7 crop from a 4x5 portra neg, 135mm Sironar S.

5x7, Heliar at f11, Pyrocat M, Efke IR with filter, Efke IR without filter, Delta 100. Underexposing the Efke still, not shure how to expose it yet.

Very nice, David. I haven't done any work with IR yet, although I'd like to; however I think I've read here that some people rate this film at 1.5??? I guess it depends partly on the filter you use, i.e. how much visible light it passes. Nice subject, though, and the Delta shot is lovely.

I admire your prodigious output. I've finally moved to the country, with the intention of retirement, but have now taken on another job. When will I get my priorities right so that I can spend time on photography? I don't know. Regards,

Barry.

I am somewhat underemployed at the moment, the cows (and my staff) are away for the winter. But my days are numbered.

11x14 Efke IR cut down to slightly over 8x10 for scanning as I dont want to print it. 14 inch Dagor at f32, about 1 minute. Pyrocat M. This is why you dont want to heed someones advice to brush develop for even development, I have tried it twice, once ages ago on 5x7 fp4 with a very good quality bristle brush and here on 11x14 efke IR with a foam brush, surprise surprise, brush marks.
