Walls and stuff.

[jimi-the-jive]

Some walls shots I found one day in Dundee, MI. Being primarily a painter, I like to find abstract compositions with a camera.

they're amazing , what film/dev do you use to get that old school feel

Thank you Richard and Jimi for taking the time to comment. For the tech types, these were made with Plus-X in D-76 1:1 for 10 minutes. Speed Graphic w/150mm Symmar S at f/22 and a K12 filter on tripod. Printed on Brovira #4 in Dektol 1:2 for 4 minutes and Selenium toned for 8 minutes. Pretty old school way of doing photography.

Allen, your wallscapes are great! I like #67 in particular.

Hello Monk,
do you have any pics shoot wide open with your new pentac f:2,9 ?
I will enjoy to see some more of these.

I actually have shot only couple frames with it wide open, this is the first shot:



The lens i got is in really bad shape, i could only afford the uglyest of them all... contrast on the negatives is very low. And haven't got any other printable (in this case, scannable) negatives out of it. I think i'll try some portraits next.

Sorry about the quality of the scans, i shoot to print.. and only scan as preview, as my scanner can't even handle full frame 4x5 negs.

AH! I thought to be the only person owning the 210 3.5 Tessar.
How do you like it?

I love my 210 3.5 tessar! It's my most used lens. I'm on a budget so i mostly use barrel lenses anyway. I used to worry about it not being high end enough after reading some forum post about it. But i think it's just great, and the speed gives nice possibilities. Maybe someday i can afford some nice high end lenses, so i can compare.

Nice Anupam! I just love concrete
