What films did you shoot most recently? (Part 2)

[MattKing]

Two rolls of FUJI slide film!!!

For me, that is sacrilege .

It is seven years expired Provia 100 in 120 that was given to me by a friend. He would have kept it well - I refrigerated it since receiving it.

I used it today in my Mamiya C330 at our annual Quilt and Car show. Here is a Youtube link about last year's edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DgZk9AraY0

Quilt.... And car show? Is that like to get the women out? Not to be sexist enough to think only women quilt and men do cars, but is that the idea anyway?

 

[StoneNYC]

Just did my first 8x10s on the weekend too. Haven't scanned it yet, but even hanging in the shower it looks great

Forgot to post them, the good exposure came out great and the not as good exposure I was able to ... "Fix" with magic... But it wasn't actually terribly bad... I did discover in the good exposure that I missed the nozzle of the fire extinguisher was actually in the shot .... Ugh!!!!




At least I know the slide worked perfectly and absolutely no bleed over! It works great!

 

[MattKing]

The area where I live has:

1) a significant number of people who are interested in the colourful, intricate quilts that are either of historical interest, or are being made today by those who enjoy doing so;
2) a significant number of people who are interested in restoring and/or operating classic and antique cars; and
3) an older section with a lot of commercial heritage buildings. Many of them serve well as intewresting backdrops for the classic and antique cars. Many of them also have large windows or other display areas that are perfect for displaying the colourful, intricate quilts that the quilters have either collected or made themselves.

The heritage core gets shut down for the day. A few hundred cars are brought in and parked on the streets and lots in the area, dozens of beautiful quilts are put up where everyone can admire them and a few thousand people come to see everything together.

There actually is a surprising synchronicity between admiring the quilts and the cars - maybe because of all the care and work that goes into them?

Assuming the slides come out okay, I'll post a few.

That's my next experiment, I've got 2 darkslides to cut down to try do 4x10s.
Meanwhile, my (there was a url link here which no longer exists) looks like it's worked.

Best thing is, I got a 9.5" roll of TMX well over 100' long for well under $100. Now to test if the roll of Ektachrome I also got still works...

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

A roll of Fuji Reala in 120 (Holga), waiting to process.
A roll of Fuji 800 NPZ in 35mm, waiting to process.

Kodak Tri-X 120 to dial in the 777 developer.
My last roll of TMax 400 120.

Now that I've 'gotten rid of' the little tidbits of film laying around, I can focus on shooting HP5+/Tri-X in 35mm and 120 as usual, but also try to dial in Fuji Acros with a new developer for pinhole and landscape work. I'm looking forward to doing that this week.

You're wasting the Fuji on pinhole??!!! Sheesh!

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

You're wasting the Fuji on pinhole??!!! Sheesh!

Why do you say that? I know you're joking, but there must be some fire where there's smoke...

I've used Acros a bit for pinhole in the past, and since pinhole is usually fairly low contrast, I like Acros for its highlight contrast.

Nice shot

I forget that you might be talking about smaller formats? In 4x5 and 8x10 Acros is stupid expensive so when I said "waste" I meant cause for pinhole where sharpness isn't critical, I would use something else, I know the reciprocity characteristics are appealing of course.

Negs from pinhole are fun to print.

I never think of films in terms of sharpness, so it doesn't matter to me. All films I've used are sharp enough.

For sheet film I use HP5+, because of its speed and the fact that I get a wee bit of grain from my 5x7 negs, which I enjoy.

My most recent film i shot was the now discontinued Kodak Bw400cn. Too bad they stops producing it, sometimes, at least here in sweden, they are the only bw film to get in small towns, since they don't develop b&w film.

I had this roll of 120 Kodak Panatomic-X that I shot yesterday. It expired the year my brother was born, 1976.
Waiting to process. Expecting nothing.

 

[Kyle M.]

I shot a roll of Tri-X Monday to test out my new to me 1970 Nikon F. Developed it in Rodinal yesterday only to find that the FTn meter is a few stops off. No big deal really I'll just meter with my Luna Pro F from now on.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised, I shot a similarly aged roll and it comes out with almost no fog because of the slow speed of the film, and the tones are beautiful

 

[ziyanglai]

Two 4x10 frames on an 8x10 sheet of HP5+

Totally under exposed one of them, not sure what happened there...

Can't wait to see how they come out

How did you get the two 4x10 frames? I tried it with a half darkslide a whole ago with 4x5 but it didn't work well...

 

[Trask]

A 36-exposure roll of Fomapan 200, developed in 510-Pyro -- low grain, nice tones in scans. I'm satisfied.

Cut my own half slide.

What does "didn't work out well" mean?

That is a clean cut. I used an x-acto knife and the edges were rough, it didn't look nice on the negs. Sometimes I lost track of which part was exposed and ended up double exposing it. I really don't use it much anyway.

i always expect nothing, and love to be surprised

Hey Stone, what are those slides made of? Looks like plastic or phenolic or something.
I've got 2 spare 8x10 slides to cut down, wondering whether I should mix and match and cut the metal or plastic. I've got some nice proper tinsnips, but they have a habit of making metal curl when I cut it, or I could sacrifice the sharpness of my paper-guillotine but get a better cut...
