VERNS* what? :cool:

[jcoldslabs]

I haven't shot roll film in a bit, so I loaded my Mamiya 7 with some ten year old Tri-X and brought it with me on some errands downtown this week. I don't like to rely on the camera's meter so I brought a hand-held one and dutifully set the meter for ISO 200. (Film this old loses at least a stop in my experience.) I ended up being lazy and used the camera's meter instead which was set to ISO 400. The whole roll was therefore underexposed at least a stop and subsequently underdeveloped since I didn't discover my error until after the roll was processed. The two shots below were the only salvageable ones on the roll and required a great deal of post-processing to look passable.

Maybe there should be a small format 'mistakes' thread. D'oh!

Thanks. My P6x7 I purchased new about 25 years ago. It's still going strong. As such I have collected the most focal lengths for it over the years of all my medium format cameras from 45mm to 300mm.

Well, hearing and reading all that praise I wanted to give the system a try as well, but I've had bad luck with my purchases.. And after talking with the local repairman about prices and spare parts availability I don't feel like pursuing that idea further...

Like all MF film cameras, they each have strengths and weakness in some areas. Some are more at home in the studio while others more convenient in the field. But I think in all cases parts and repair will only get worse as time marches on.

Nice Tuco.

Since smoking has become "outlawed" you don't see it in advertising, TV or movies anymore. I remember there used to be lots of it, and doctors used to shill for the tobacco companies.

A certain "men's" magazine was very biased against smoking and would have "ads" against it. One that stuck in my mind was an entire page of photos of famous people. At the top it read, "What do all these famous people have in common?"

At the bottom it closed, "They all died of lung cancer."

It's pretty quiet around this corner of the lounge today... I really should get off this computer and tackle the mountain of dishes in the sink. Well, first a couple of pictures of Portland's bridges. I'd planned on doing the second one with my large format camera, but once I got to the spot I realized that to do it right, I'd either need a much taller tripod to see over the stupid railing, or else set up on the tracks and risk getting run over by a train. As the trains run pretty frequently here, I decided to play it safe. For now.

I guess when you do a lot of portraits in the same general area (not to mention a small town with limited numbers of locales) you are bound to start repeating yourself.

Here's one from Friday:

And one from almost exactly a year ago:

http://www.oceanstarproductions.com/photosharing/alexl01s.jpg

Not that I didn't realize this while shooting. In fact, the first subject knew about my earlier work and wanted to have something similar. So it all works out. Also, they both have the same name, ha!

The kids went down the hill with no problem. This is what happens when the parents give it a go. Trying out the Nikon Df on some action with a sports lens. It does okay. It has a 21-24 frame buffer so you get between 4 to 5 seconds worth of continuous shooting.

Fun shot, Tuco! Bryan, those are nice portraits, although I wish the out of focus plant in the "cello" picture was gone.

[Corran]

Thanks guys. Yes Ramiro, the second was mostly flash as it was a little later in the day, camera right of course. I agree about the plant Peter! That place was so overgrown this time - I already had moved several weeds and decided to go with what it was.

[David R Munson]

The Pentax belongs to the friend for whom I'm house-sitting, but the others are mine. Hadn't shot with the 67II until this past weekend, but it resolves pretty much everything I didn't like about the older versions.

Wow, that RZ dwarfs the Hasselblad. I had no idea.

Cool photo David! I'd forgotten just what a beast the RZ is. It's like the Gigantosaurus of medium format cameras.

[David R Munson]

Yeah, it's a huge thing, but the RB and RZ have always impressed me in terms of how smoothly they operate. Especially compared to the big KA-CHUNK! of the Pentax, it's quiet and low vibration.

[Steve M Hostetter]

The RZ has been the best med format camera for fast pace portrait as with children. A smooth focus and right where you need it not out on the lens. The Hassy sucks in terms of focusing smooth and fast

I'd think the 645NII with auto focus would nail the little buggers moving around even easier. The stock focus screen on a 500C/M is bad indeed. But you can put a split focus screen in it. Much improved.

[Steve M Hostetter]

I guess you guys have never seen/handled a Fuji GX680 then ;)?

http://throughthelensdarkly.com/forums/Cameras/GX680III.jpg

Yes, that Fuji shoots rollfilm, 120/220, 645,6x6,6x7, and 6x8 depending on what mask you put on the back(same backs, just change drop-in masks).
50-500mm lens range, all the front movements of a LF camera, but with the convenience of shooting rollfilm!

I love mine, lenses are stellar and it makes MF even better, since I have movement capabilities like with LF

Wow. I'd heard of the GX, but never seen one to scale. So I guess if the RZ is a Gigantosaurus, then the GX is would be like (stand-by for google search) a Argentinosaurus. I mean no disrespect by the way-I love both dinosaurs and big camera. I have fond memories of my old Pentax 67, even though it now seems compact in comparison to these guys.

IIRC, there was a mod'd Polaroid 545(it might have been NPC that did the mod) back so you could shoot 8x8cm Type 55. Kinda weird IMO, since type 665 was available, but if you wanted it...

Thanks very much Peter. It is one image, the foreground lit with a torch for a few seconds. I am having to use the digital cameras a little more at the moment as my light meter has just broken and I don't want to waste film (this was at iso 3200 - one of the benefits of digital I suppose - so I don't think it would have been feasible with colour film although I am looking forward to trying so 4x5 star trails if I can at some point once I get a new light meter).

I'm not sure a meter will help much with the startrail shots - it's almost impossible to overexpose :). I usually find myself at f/8, 3-4 hours, for T64 film.

[Nathan Potter]

Nguss, really fine work with that scene. Keep us posted if you try something similar with film.

Nate Potter, Austin TX.

[tuco]

I'll post this again for Nguss. It was f8, 100ACR, 15 min and not totally dark outside. I could have gone much longer in the exposure. If you start, say, a 1 or 2 hour exposure with some trace light still around when you start, chances are you can capture detail in the near ground without light painting.

[Nguss]

Thanks all, and Tuco that is superb. This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking to try, weather permitting.

Sorry also for not being clearer Corran, I am not able to use much in the way of film at the moment as my meter is not working, which is annoying me when I see the fine shots posted in the forum. I was planning for star trail type shots to just leave the shutter open for an hour or more and see what I end up with.

xDDDD AWESOME! The post and the replies! LOL

[austin granger]

Both Calvin and Hobbes and Tatooine passed through my mind when I first saw it! I guess we're of a certain generation. I'm wishing now I'd brought a different camera. With my phone you push the "shutter" and then about two seconds later the picture actually takes. This one was sheer luck as it was.

I like the fact that my fearless daughter is the one who voluntarily took the reigns and steered them precisely toward the jump (just out of frame to the left). She's a wild one, that girl.

Nice Clay, you have captured the special wintery feeling of snow at night. Especially this one.

Thanks Racer it was a lot of fun to be out shooting in those conditions with a weather sealed camera, and the proper attire to keep me weather sealed as well.

If you get in that tunnel you could probably get some mad swirly bokeh in the portraits with those branches above and a quirky old inferior lens of your choice.

Looks like a streaking ghost. Must have been found on the girls floor?

[Tin Can]

This is Old Main, 4th floor art studios, no dorms in building. The building is sadly now due for destruction shortly. Failed college after 100 years.

This is the only image people have repeatedly tried to buy from me. All former students. Many were/are totally convinced the building was haunted. I spent many 24 hour sessions there, in darkroom and my studio which was right behind the shooting position. This was done very late at night. I only photographed this ghost once.

It's hand-held. I'm pretty steady when I need to be. I think Fred Meyer would probably kick me out if I tried to set up a tripod. I'd love to be able to though-first up would be a 5x7 negative of the wall of milk!

I like your wedding shot, and the cloud as well-pretty amazing really, the way it reached down so close to the water. And the laundromat too. I've missed so many good pictures from not having my camera with me. You'd think I'd have learned by now.

Lightweight (50gsm) Goyu Kozo from Bostick & Sullivan.


Jim, the prints are gorgeous. The first one is especially arresting. I really love the blacks. Which kozo washi are you using?

With my renewed interest in LF, and simultaneously getting into a more
formal mode, with lighting, in the studio, I'm using my Nikon D300 as
an exposure meter and lighting tester when I shoot 4x5 (digital: the
modern Polaroid!) Though I did shoot this setup on 4x5, also, the real
purpose here was to get a quick photo for a concert program.

This is my first posting. This is my portrait of my wife way back when . I do not remember much, it was before I started writing things down but is was taken with a Canon AE1P in 135 and a 35-70 zoom at about 50mm and the light source was a single bare light bulb over her head

[Tin Can]

What a lucky guy, she is a great beauty!

Pic is great also.

Yesterday was like Spring - relatively warm and sunny. I went for a walk and snapped this. Today, cold and rain mixed with snow. Go figure.

Just got a new addition to the collection, and I needed to photograph it for insurance purposes(my agent likes seeing my photos of guns, he has one has his desktop wallpaper even, of his over-under Berettas I shot for him a year or so back).
This Ruger MKII 10" belonged to a good friend who died a few years ago unexpectedly, and his wife/widow made me a deal on it I couldn't pass up this last week. It's seen some use, but I plan to get many years of happy shooting out of it, so I don't mind the scratches/wear one little bit :)

Technical:
One light(400w/s Dynalite monoblock) w/ a grid installed in the reflector, shooting into a white plastic trash bag sliced open and stretched between two of the tripod legs as a diffuser.
Some small white cards were also used for fill/accent(rim) light to separate it out some more.
Camera: Fuji X100s

[Tin Can]

My favorite pistol.

[jp]

Those are fun high quality pistols. I have used a friends a few times and it's nice. If you don't do 22 much, you'll find some pistols like some ammo and not other ammo, depending on how magazine lips work, how greasy it is, velocity, etc...

You can get cheap white diffuser umbrellas from china if you need such things on a low budget.

[Corran]

A few pictures from a prescribed burn area. Pretty much the only time I like the pine trees...when they are burnt.

Nikon F2, 2.1cm f/4 or 5cm f/2 pre-AI lenses, and Agfa Optima 100 or Portra 160:

http://www.oceanstarproductions.com/photosharing/burn004.jpg

As a side note, I bought three 100' bulk cartridges of this Optima for about $30 apiece, expired of course. It seems to me to have color saturation and look close to Portra, with maybe a tad more grain, but with slightly better tolerance of overexposure (I have struggled with the new Portra and blowing highlights, compared to using old Portra NC/VC). Damn nice stuff, and a steal at about $1.25 per bulk-loaded roll.

Good to see I'm not the only one rooting around in the vaults. This one was an accidental double exposure circa 1986.

Great combo for a double exposure.

[austin granger]

My bank picture was from the vaults, no pun intended. It's this blasted rain I tell you! Yesterday I was considering going to the airport, just so I could photograph something. Cafes? Libraries? Abandoned buildings? Train stations? My own home?

[Corran]

Thanks gth. These were scanned on my Screen Cezanne by manually setting white/black points and adjusting the individual levels slightly. I don't use profiles for different negative films as most negative settings on this old scanner are for old films...so it may actually have Optima in there but I didn't look. Seems to work for me most times, when the exposure is good.

Oh, in case it matters, the first two are Optima, the second two are Portra. Right now I'm shooting a few different neg films - Portra 160/400, Optima 100, Gold 100, and Superia 200. Gold/Superia is a bit more saturated than the Optima or Portra. I like the soft pastel / low contrast look for neg film. I'll shoot Provia/Velvia otherwise.

[Andrew O'Neill]

SergeiR, that's very nice. Love the colour, the composition, the whole setup.

[jcoldslabs]

Jonathan, that's a wonderful accident.

Thanks, guys. This is one of those images that has been bouncing around in my files for decades but I never managed to get it printed or scanned until now. (Oh how it pains me to be old enough to talk in terms of decades. How is that possible?)

[Corran]

Jonathan, as has been said, awesome double exposure.

[jcoldslabs]

Jonathan, as has been said, awesome double exposure.

Thanks, Bryan. The only problem with happy accidents is that they are hard to repeat. I've seen some purposeful double exposure work that really impressed me, but I have a hell of a time keeping one photo in mind while making another; it's like 3D chess or something and my small brain can't handle it.

I know these light-on-the-water shots are a dime a dozen, but I'm a sucker for the phenomenon every time.

[Peter Gomena]

Yes, but good ones don't come as cheaply. Nice shot!

[jcoldslabs]

Thanks, Peter. My dream is to capture a scene like this in LF, but I have never encountered this kind of light while carrying one of my big cameras. Living even farther from the coast now means it will be even harder to achieve, but you never know....

J.

[Peter Gomena]

It's a tough subject for large format. With roll film you can crack off a dozen shots as the light changes. Not so cheap or easy with a 4x5 or larger. You have to 1. be there with a LF camera, as you said, 2. be patient, 3. be a little lucky.

Nice work, Tim.
I don't know if it's the lighting, but I really like the look of the P67 shots more than the Hassy's look.

[tuco]

My vote is for the 105mm shots too.

One from my Zeiss CF T* 150/4 lens. These guys wanted to look bad-ass but I didn't do a very good job. I was mostly shooting with my digital camera but did get a few shots on film to finish a roll off.

Thanks guys! I quite agree. I pushed the Tri-X to 800 in the P67 shots as well and I really like the tones. All processed in XTOL 1:1.

I really liked the old Optima film. I think I have a few rolls left in a box of 120 film I bought, supposedly frozen since new and definitely since I got it. The one roll I shot was fine. I used to shoot it in 4x5.

The old Agfa Ultra 50 was like a negative version of Velvia, maybe MORE saturated. Amazing stuff when you needed that. And there is NOTHING on today's market like the old Agfa Portrait 160 - soft muted pastel palette.

Sigh.
