The Brownie Hawkeye Salon (Post your BHF work!)

KinoGrafx · Sep 12, 2023

Any takers? Since the BHF flickr group has fallen into disrepair (or disinterest?), I thought it would be fun to start a thread here for folks (like me) who appreciate and love using the classic Kodak Brownie Hawkeye -flash or no flash. Here are 2 to start the fun

Very cool! Thanks for posting these

I'll post more of my own images later that I shot with my Hawkeye Flash cameras, but for now how about images from an old roll of C22 film that I found in an estate sale Hawkeye Flash? Since C22 color chems aren't readily available anymore I developed it in Rodinal 1:100 with the Semi Stand method. The last shots on the roll were gone due to people opening the back at some point, but the first several ones on the roll were good.

The Brownie came from Florida, but the images look like maybe they were taken in the Midwest somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's.

I'll get back to this thread when I'm home -- I've got a few favorites from BHF on my home computer...

Okay, here are a couple favorite images from Brownie Hawkeye Flash:

I like the flipped lens look with a closeup attachment.

Thanks, Basenji’s are very photogenic. She was a great dog, unfortunately she passed away earlier this year.

Pet photos are always the best

Here are a couple moody non/pet bhf shots

I like the ivy on the tree trunk a lot.

KinoGrafx · Sep 19, 2023

Thanks much- I had the no.13 lens on it but probably should have taken one step closer to get it sharper

Oh gosh I shot a BHF for years. Here are a few I shot of Melanie fifteen years ago with a flipped lens. These would be on Tri-X, processed in Diafine:

KinoGrafx · Sep 19, 2023

These are fantastic- did you do anything to control the exposure during shooting, or just soup the tri-x at 200?

Thanks! Actually, I did not control exposure -- I just processed in Diafine. (My first post was incorrect re processing -- I've changed it now.) I figured so long as I got enough light onto the film, Diafine would give me a printable negative. Here's another portrait, of my mom before she died, also shot with a flipped-lens BHF onto Tri-X, also processed in Diafine:

I keep circling back to this photograph -- it's a perfect pairing of camera and lens to subject. The flipped lens can be a gimmick but it works here to make the subject pop. Lovely.

Thanks Sanders!

Here's a few of mine. I have two BHF's - one has the lens in standard orientation, the other one I flipped the lens. These shots are with the flipped lens BHF.
