Nice results. That 250D seems to respond well to black and white processing. Is that one of the vision films with a rem-jet backing? _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/hancockDavidM |

Cheers guys, this was something of an experiment so pleased it worked.
Yup, this is the movie film with remjet, but the stuff just comes off during developing, when you pour out the developer it looks pretty black. When it comes to washing, I just run it under the tap while squeegeeing with my fingers to remove the last little bit then soak the film in warm water with a drop of detergent for a couple mins then hang to dry. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Manchester is quite a nice place but well known for it's bad weather. I hoped to take the opportunity to do some street photography, but the weather intervened, this was just a quick stab at it using my C35 which I think did a nice job of street shooting, shame the lens isn't a little wider but as a point n shoot, the C35 works well, fits alright in a jacket pocket too and I had no worries about isng it in the rain unlike a digicam. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Manchester living up to its wet reputation. The back streets are similar to some of those in Newcastle. Coincidently, one of the best curry houses in Newcastle was down a "dodgy" looking back alley like that. The B&W suits the subject matter. |

If it wasn't for the modern cars, you could mistake No 4 for a WW2 bombsite. Reminds me of the grim, smoke-stained days and Giles cartoons of the 1950s.
What's happened to No. 4 and a few of the others Ian? They look as though you've given them the HDR treatment, or is it the film? _________________ Peter - Moderator |

"Bombsite"?.....in Manchester...in the fifties....I can remember plenty of them.....in fact, I can remember saying to my Mum many times, "we're just going to play down at the bombsite"!

You'll have to go back to Manchester on a sunny day...erm the south/north divide? The only northern city I've visited is York and I was impressed, also the surrounding countryside noticing roads free from litter compared to the London area where people don't care. _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.

I personally welcome the rainy days in a city as a photographer, and I don't think they are an handicap at all - on the contrary!
Sure they can be annoying to the photographer... and the camera... but not to the photographs. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Yes I know you are very good at it,. but for me I enjoy a nice sunny day cycling or walking in the countryside (sometimes with my grandson)...I can relax taking shots or just snoozing in between listening to the birds whistling. _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.
