These ships are not too far from me and have been beeched for so long that they are vanishing in the mud.

These were shot back in March but I was a bit slow to finish the film. The camera was the Canon EF-M and lenses were mainly the Vivitar Series 1 35-85 and the Super-Takumar 24mm (only a couple as it caused the mirror to hang). Both with orange filter. Tri-X 400 dveloped in Ilfosol 3 @ 1:9.











Bigger versions and a few more here

Excellent results!
I like very much the details and the general sharpness.
The subject is ideal for B&W shooting.
Really well developed.
Congrats!

Jes.

Great result. Nice sharpness and detail. The skies the way I like Smile . And don't worry, I'm even slower than you are. From exposed negatives to finished prints it might be a looong time Smile . Speaking of which I think you should try printing, these would rock... Smile

Cheers, M.-

I had a look at the large sized ones, my impression is vastly confirmed.

Nice unusual shots.....wonder if the owners were ever prosecuted for dumping, they would now.

Many thanks for all the comments. This seemed to be one of my more popular series.

Excellent Martin, very well done, both the photography and the developing. Tell me about the large sizes on Flikr, did you upsize them?

These timber ships must be very old indeed, with some local historical value probably. What a shame they've just been allowed to rot away.

I like the contrast of these images, but careful with the highlights, in some areas they are "burned".
My favourites are the last two. Really a fascinating subject you have found !

Thanks Peter

I scanned at 4800dpi, resized to 12x8 for my own uses then downsized to 20% to post on web.

Yes, the ships span the 50s to the 80s. There are plaques there to tell you about them. Well, before they rot away completely and vanish into the mud.
