Film Camera Week for April 6

Several more from last Sunday's trip thru the Market. Same data as the picture above. Aloha, Bill

Good source of Vit C !

After a long hiatus from this site, I am back :). Great to see all the familiar names, and a few new ones, with a range of wonderful images!

Here are a few from a Robot Royal mod III and Fuji C200 film.

Good to see you back! I've missed your graphic style.

Thank you, Rick!

Until I scan some more recent film a few from my archives.

not sure which beach now, but remember it was my Konica Auto S2 with Kodacolor II, around 1975 or 75

 

Dad editing super movies, Konica Auto S2. Sunpak 311, likely Kodacolor II, late 70's

neighborhood girls posing by my 1969 Mustang, Konica Auto S2. Kodacolor II, probably around 1976

reading a card, Minolta XE-5 with 50mm f1.7 Rokkor-X. High Speed Ektachrome rated at 400, home processed in Unicolor kit

Mom and younger brother, Mamiya Sekor 1000 TL, 55mm f1.4, Kodachrome II, about 1974

Ignore this

Thought some of those I posted looked better converted to BW

As soon as I saw the Mustang I knew it was yours

70's color....That picture of your Dad with the Super 8 brings back tons of memories. I have boxes of those little white and blue reels of film. Dad used to have a reel to reel hand crank splicer with a lighted viewer. Fascinated me as a kid.

Yes, Donald. It was my first car that I owned. I bought it from a local guy for $950 (mostly saved from mowing yards). Yes, my 2012 is faster, more economical, handles better and brakes better, but it'd still be fun to have both.

Moving on- we were big movie makers. After video became more affordable my dad would transfer home movies to VHS. I still have all his old Super 8 and regular 8 movies, most of them spliced onto 200' and 400' reels. My favorite movie camera was a Yashica that could do dissolves.

A recent photo with my Mamiya 645e and Ektar. Film was lab processed and scanned on my V600. Old Pinnacles Trail at Pinnacles National Park.

 

 

 

Donald,

I agree. Well done.

My father insisted on having a Kodak 16 mm camera but never purchased a projector so we would crowd around a film so,ice and hand crank it. It loaded with a film cartridge. I still have it but do not know what to do with it. I had a 2005 Mustang gt but realized there was no place to really enjoy it so I got a more pedestrian car

I bet I haven’t taken two rolls of B&W pictures in my life.

You guys are changing that for me.

Thanks.

I friend of mine decades ago who was a photography student always said that color just covered up poor photography. I guess that would be a good starting point for a robust discussion. It sounds good but I do not necessarily buy it and have no dog in this.

Of course today it's easy to convert color images to black & white either by desaturation or separating the color image into separate RGB channels. Back when I was learning the ropes we used Panalure paper for black & white from color negatives.

Great images, everyone.

I have a roll of HP5+ drying that I will scan and probably post when I start the next thread.

There is definitely a time and place for color, when color conveys the mood or the memory, but......

Black and White seems to declutter the image in many circumstances.

From the late 70's to late 80's I generally went out with three cameras: one with black & white, one with color transparency, and one with color negative.Still using a few of those cameras even today.
