Film Camera Week for December 14

I've been using the Photographers Formulary PMK Pyro developer for the past 12 months or so, but as I was buying some stuff from Maco Direct in Germany I thought I'd try the Bergger PMK, just to see if there was any difference. Here are some frames from the first film through the new brew; the film was Ilford HP5 Plus and the camera was a Mamiya 645 1000s with the Mamiya Sekor 55-105mm f/4.5 lens. It's a little early to judge the developer but first impressions suggest that it's possibly a little more vigorous than it's predecessor, but still with the same excellent tonal range.

This is something that I have been playing around with for a while.it is one thing you can do with a film camera and not with a digital camera that I know of except with photoshop.but a digital camera makes it real easy. Some told me it is painting with light. I set my camera up on tripod and focus it. Then turn of all light and with the shutter open I use my digital camera for flash light source and shoot digital from various angles. Here our some of my good and bad attempts and color seems easier to work with. I used a Kiev 4. And signet 50 camera. The ch3ss pieces and gl@ss ware also seem to provide ground with interesting nooks, artifacts and shados

Ages since I had anything to post here.... too little time, and when there was time, the weather wasn't the most cooperative.... but last weekend, finally managed to finish 2 rolls which were sitting in cameras for way, way too long anyway. Both yielded nothing particular, but then again, both were more 'educational' to me: the first time I used Fomapan 400 (if the result below is as can be expected, I'll stick to stocking HP5) and first time not pushing Delta 3200 like a maniac (I like it better pushed by a lot, then again trying in daylight maybe wasn't too fair)....

Bit of snow today

Zeiss Ikoflex II (type 851/16 from 1936-1939), 7.5cm f/3.5 Tessar, Fomapan 100

Great snow shot, Rick. Snow is not that common where I live (north central Mississippi) as when it's cold enough the moisture isn't there and when we have the moisture it's usually too warm. This is why over a period of a two or three years I may post the same snow image 2 or 3 times.

From last January, Minolta SRT 101, MD 35-70, HP5+

When I was a kid we used to have snow and ice every year. But now it's maybe once in three years.

We had a light dusting over the weekend and by the end of the walk where I took that photo it was already melting away.

It's back up to 8 degrees Celcius today.

When I was a kid we used to have snow and ice every year.

 

Not so sure, I believe we come from the same part of the world, and somehow if I see my childhood photos, there is awfully little snow. But the impact of the memories of those times there was a lot of snow and a longer period of frost is pretty profound....

 

Either way - I love snow photos! Thanks both :-)

It's how I experienced it anyway ;)

Enough snow to build forts out of them and cold enough to ice skate on fens out in the woods.

Every try any snow photos at night? Here's one from 2015.

I didn't name the folder with any camera, lens, or film info, but likely a Minolta SRT with a 35-ish focal length, TX

Solar cycles.....

The snow seems to have been making a comeback lately.

Snow pictures are great, especially at night.

Magic.

Thanks, Moving On. I've been into time exposures (snow and other things) since I discovered the ":B" setting on my dad's Mamiya Sekor when I was a freshman in high school. Even coaxed a few printable images out of my Pocket Instamaic 40 (which had an electronic shutter good for a few seconds)

Snow at night under the high pressure sodium vapor streetlights near my house often allows some hand held night shots in snow with fast lens and high ISO. I prefer the tripod when possible, of course.

Leica M6, 50/2.8 Elmar-M on P3200TMZ pushed to 6400 in HC-110B

 

That seems a great use of 3200.

Good result.

Thanks, it’s one of my favorite films, I’m so happy it was revived!

From expired Ilford Delta 3200

Rated at E.I. 3200 and processed in HC110 dilution B

I have two more rolls of this and then I'll get a few rolls of fresh TMAX 3200.

Couldn't resist one more snow photo from a few years back

Yashica 44A with Efke R100

Well, to go with the theme then.... I think I shared this before, but not sure. Shot end of 2016 or beginning 2017.
