A little riff off of 3 Mustaphas 3 (my tastes in music are a little diverse) and
the first one is using the Olympus 35SP, Fuji Xtra 400:
this one is using the Olympus XA2 and expired (3/96) TriX @400, HC-110E, 10mins, 23C
Exakta 500 with CZJ 4/135 Sonnar, Portra 160VC
Had these up before, but wanted to make sure it was OK to post 3. |

I like the first one, it could be used to teach framing , plus i like how the highlights clip with film, opposed to a digital sensor.

Yeah they're back again
nr.1 is top notch
- exposure is very tricky with those type of high-contrast shots. it's just perfect.
- incredibble that there is still contrast/detail in the tunnel area. I could not
imagine gaining this with a digital cam.
- the compo with tunnel framing and subjects just on right spot can`t be better
- the curves of tunnel and footpath/water and shadow cohere wery well
nr.2
wants me to sit by the fountain and put my feet in
nr.3
colors are superb
cause of the dark background there's some melancholia around.
a bit of a sad Lilia this one

No 1: Great shot, great spot, great exposure
No 2: Nice tones and contrast, but a bit lacking in interesting subject
No 3: Great colours and exposure looks spot-on. Is it a big crop? I am sure I can see grain and that film isn't renowned for grain. |

Hey Bill,Is there anything that you may have done differently with each shot?...I mean did you just take the first shot or was it planned and thought about for awhile? Would you use a different film possibly?
I know, I am asking the questions but not being a film user I want to know what you thought about each photo and did they portray what you had in mind?Or am I reading to much into it.. _________________ Moira, Moderator

Wow, thanks folks for all the comments!
Agree that #2 is rather boring, I like it for the exposure and tones more than anything else.
The flower shot is expired (very) Portra and is uncropped, probably underexposed and of course indifferent
processing from Wallies didn't help.
Moira, you actually think I have depth, that is so neat! But here goes:
#1 was a quick snap when I saw what I could put in the frame. Fuji 160S or Reala would have been nice, but you
use what you have at hand.
#2 was just a 'gee isn't the light interesting in the courtyard of the hospital' no more thought than that, sorry.
#3 I was hoping for the famed Portra colors, bloom was in some nice lighting.
Thanks again, folks! |

You did nothing wrong.
Expired colour film shows hue casts, expired B&W film shows grain.

I like all three !
#1 is just a great composition. A challenge for color film on the exposure range. but well handled !
#2 OK I like B&W and grain doesn't bother me near as much as digital noise. I like Tri-x for many subjects. 23degrees C may have been a little warm and helps promote grain. I don't use HC-110 much but cooler temps with Rodinal seem to help the grain a bit. Much more so with Beutler A+B.
#3 Well I like flowers ! Of course it's my job to like flowers this one is pleasing ! _________________

I get terrible grain whenever I use Rodinal on Tri-X
So much that I stopped using it at all, and now Rodinal for me is confined to Agfapan use
except I'll perhaps try it with some Efke film I have in the fridge.
My best result with Tri-X are with Ornano Gradual ST-20 developer.
(not the cheapest of developer though, but I love it) _________________ Orio, Administrator

The one thing I think is important (and from several who use this method) is to have a global amount of
4ml. So with 35mm you'd have 400mls of solution (using Paterson), but I like this amount for safety, anyway.
Basically you agitate for one minute, slam it on the counter, wait an hour, and finish the development sequence.
Not much to it, really. If you want to push the film one stop, you could do 2-3 inversions at the halfway point. |

Thanks!
I am upset this evening because I spotted a 1-unit Paterson tank at 10 EUros less than normal price, so I wanted to buy, but when I came back to the shop an hour later, it was gone
Paterson tanks hold more liquid than the AP tanks that I use. Another advantage, they have a large cone so you can pour in the developer faster.
On the other hand, I like the AP spirals better, but they are compatible with Paterson tanks, so it's possible to get the best of both worlds. _________________ Orio, Administrator
