I've had some good "digital success " recently and needed to be humbled by analog. 2014 has been a "one step forward two steps back" kind of year and my photography has suffered. I've had several "fujiroid" holders loaded and gathering dust and today I decided to burn through the loaded film. I always seem to have a few unexposed exposures after I have tripped the shutter. I'm thinking that the "white pullout film tabs" are out of order and I'm pulling out an unexposed sheet under the sheet that I have just exposed? I always get some sort of "uniqueness" when dealing with analog film packs, whether intended or not. Shooting with 100 year old RB Graflex SLR's might have something to do with it.

The first picture is a FP 100C "strait" scan. The second picture is a FP 3000B scan with fake wet plate effects applied, but the "analog artifact" in middle is original. Neither of the pictures are very good but just had the urge to burn through some instant film.

I'm sure many may suffer from the same "condition" from time to time.

Regards,

Michael

Here is a "bleached negative" of one of the above photo's. I can't seem to bleach without emulsion lift.

I guess that is my "style". ;-)

Rather than try to distinguish between the 4x5 and 3x4 entries in this thread, I'm moving the whole thread to the Everything Else image forum. For those of us who have a bit of 4x5 left, I suppose we would start another thread in the Large Format image forum, but it makes sense to me to just keep extending this thread.

When New55 comes out (ever the optimist, I am), we might start a whole new series with that unique material.

I took this on Veteran's Day.

Selfie on FP-100C, Speed Graphic Pacemaker, 178mm/2.5 Aero-Ektar lens @ f2.5. I could have used a slightly longer cable release.
