Mike Gammill Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>In some parts of the world it is already Friday, April 1 so let's get started on our weekend thread. For my three images I thought I would post some "firsts" from my photo experiences. I'll start with a shot from the first roll of color film I ever shot: outdated Kodak Ektachrome-X. I bought it cheap (I was only 11) and shot it in my Sears Cubex 127 (same as Imperial). I didn't wind the film tightly enough so some of the edges were graced with colorful light leakage. The subject was my dad who was busy shooting with his Mamiya Sekor 1000 TL with Vivitar 85-205 zoom (which when I was older he would loan it to me).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>My first attempt at scanning a color negative. Obviously I didn't practice dust control very effectively. Negative was Kodacolor II from the mid-1970's shot in my Konica Auto S2.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>I don't think the negative was very carefully stored as well. My last "first" is what I believe to be my first roll of High Speed Ektachrome (okay it could have been my second or third but this was a long time ago).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>Nice spots of nostalgia, Mike! I love the color palette of each of these old films.<br> I have 3 images from late last year. The first is shot on my first Leica M (an M3, which I was very lucky to get for a cheap price) paired with a friend's Elmarit 90mm. The subject is the sign above a locksmith's shop - a clever idea, especially if (like me) one accumulates hundreds of keys but forgets what they are for!<br> <img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1663/25487682173_d45ed6c53a_b.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>My second one is also from the M3 and Elmarit 90. A window detail that reminded me of a musical score.<br> (I forgot to say that the this and the earlier image are shot on Tri-X)<br> <img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1717/25528060633_ba2e6e7d1c_b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="529" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>And the last one is 'Wood symphony with a dash of metal', in keeping with the musical theme!<br> This was made with a Bronica RF645 with 65mm lens, and Tri-X 320 film that expired in 1981.<br> <img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1714/25837769430_49e3a9607f_b.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks, Rajmohan. The two Ektachromes had a unique look. Not so much with the Kodacolor II. I really like the "keys" photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 <p>Beautiful quality portrait of Daphne, <strong>Kent</strong>. In a response to my recent Paxette post, <strong>Dave Argenticien</strong> served to remind me that I hadn't used the nice old Voigtlander Vitessa for a while, so I loaded a roll of Arista EDU 100 and gave the camera a workout. It's the 50mm Ultron f/2 lens, and the film was processed in PMK Pyro. Scans from an Epson V700 using Silverfast SE software.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_foreman1 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I went to visit a friend in Cologne last weekend. The weather was less than ideal and I only shot my photos on the way back to the train station. I was shooting a Kodak Retina IIc Xenar The film was the (I have too much of) RPX 100 and this was souped in Tanol Speed 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
