<p>I did not expect so many replies, just seeing them all now. <br> Not 100% sure if I will set myself up with changing bag and a bathroom dark room yet, because I want to be sure I will have a sustained interested. I already have 3 half started apprenticeships! <br> So following that logic not sure if I will set myself with a scanner either, until I know I am going to use it and it will not go to waste. </p> <p>The local photo shop are great, I have been in before with "naked" film in a black canister and they have went and dev it for anyway. It is rather annoying, my Petri does not seem to know when it ends and just ripped it from the canister so its broken inside no matter how much you rewind. Like pulling a snail from its shell, will not go back!</p>

<p>Hey Mike, well the veho scanner was just given to me as someone did not want it. My laptop does not have a CD drive, but I ordered an external drive so now if I wish I actually can just use the CD.But the scanner is a back up plan I guess. <br /><br />A guy on another fourm I am on is getting rid of a canoscan9900f but is not sure if it still works as its in storage, not sure if I should bother. <br> I don't know what I actually need to learn, its all just stumbling about and asking questions when it comes into my head (and reading old threads on this website) which is a great resource. <br> Seems with b&w that you need to pay much more heed to lighting and such, which is maybe why I should use b&w more to brow beat it into myself. <br />I am going home next week! Which is nice and also means I have a lot of free time. <br />And I have that Rollei B35 to fix. <br> Oh no Ilya don't say your camera broke! <br />When I rewind it seems very very delicate and I am always a bit scared of it breaking. <br />I am stupidly fond of the little agat now. I think you are correct on distance, it was in a busy street and I had to quickly stop and did not think too much on the distance I was. <br />That is a very delicate photo of yours, almost like an aquatint. <br> </p>

<p>JDM - I am learning the hard way it seems, but it always seem to happen to this particular camera. Very wary of it and may try and open it in the dark in future.<br />The film counter is bust in it, so I need to start keeping track and trying to feel any resistance as you say. <br> I scanned in some of the film which I also had on CD. <br />Right is CD and left is scanned in.<br />Seems like with colour anyway, I can edit the scans on photoshop a little to help. <br /><br /><br /></p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Getting some colour film from the Agat developed today.<br />I will ask for a CD scan of them, and then when I get home, scan the film on the dinky scanner and compare. <br> Some of the images were shaky/grainy to begin with for the b&w but I feel the scanner (and resizing) likely did not help! <br />It is far less forgiving which is nice, make me have to think a lot harder about things.<br />I have been thinking of developing it at home over summer in the small bathroom, so I really should be using b&w more than I am. <br> Feeling annoyed that I shot a full roll on my Petri yesterday, I rewound it (seemingly) but when I opened it, the film has snapped from the canister and I was rewinding but not moving it anywhere. Lost! </p>

<p>Oh I think I already know about that problem of not just having one! <br> I think I might start saving up gradually for a good quality scanner. <br /><br />Currently have a low range graphics tablet for class, almost finished saving for a good quality one that will last me, after that I may start for a good scanner.<br> You get what you pay for after all.</p>

<p>Hey Bill. <br /><br />They did not have the box anymore, but its a cheap small "Veho" one, fits in your hand. </p>

<p>Finally got around to trying B&W in my Agat 18k <br />(previous thread here - http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00dtbA)<br> A friend suggested I take their film scanner as they never use it anymore, I feel I need to learn how to tweak it because the images seem quite grainy and low. I did edit a few on p/s afterwards, but resizing made some loose sharpness. <br> These are rather snap shot as I am coming to my last few days at Uni for first year. <br> Either way, I am getting a lot of happiness from taking up photography so this is a very positive thing to include in my life. </p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>What you do not see <strong>Chuck</strong> is the heavy rain, was soaked to the bone and poked with umbrellas all day. Certainly seen no sign of spring besides the fun dancing of the local kids :) <br> What a calming image <strong>Julio</strong>.</p>

<p>Just got these printed - first time with b&w for Petri Racer. <br />Quite happy with this camera, need to use it a lot more to get used to him. <br />Ilford 400 I think<br> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/Failinis532/13244817_274151256252632_896310014984045784_n_zpsggwcl1ig.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>A much drier guy watching a distance boat of frame. Got soaked watching May Poles. <br />Sadly got no clear photos of the May Day celebrations. </p> <p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/Failinis532/9e6ba1ca-b0cb-4a18-bfeb-5fa849e6a840_zpsdvqhmloj.png" alt="" /><br> Agat 18k with Afga Vista 200 </p>

<p>Hey Chuck, it does sound like a lot!<br> But I presume once you set yourself up you have equipment that lasts years and only thing to replace is the chemicals when you run out. <br> Difference was when I developed b&w before it was with a helpful print technician hovering about ha. <br> My final deadline for Uni work in 2 weeks, and exhibition is over in 7 weeks time so I may get a list of the cheap (but good reviewed) objects drawn up, so I know for sure what to get.<br> And stop in at my old college, now I think about it. <br> When I done my foundation year (just last year) I mentioned to my tutor I was doing dark room stuff on the side at the local community centre - he said the college used to have a dark room until 2years ago and that they still had some stuff laying about in storage but they removed the dark rooms totally with no plans to reinstall them. <br />So I shall see if he knows where the things are, and if he can sell them at a lower price or such things, as I need to go screen print over summer as well. <br> I see there is a b&w processing forum section, I will be checking that out! <br> Thanks. </p>

<p>Used up the last of the colour, going to try out b&w tomorrow. </p> <p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/Failinis532/cropped_zpsawdhqpup.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Is this a thread for anyone to post what they have taken this week?<br />If so, found a man balancing rocks down at St Ives. <br />Agat 18k - Afga Vista ASA 200 <br> Using up all the colour film I have this bank holiday so I can start developing b&w myself over summer holidays. That is the plan anyway!</p> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/Failinis532/26597160442_7c59e34957_o_zpswc7lqemr.jpg" alt="" />

Stephen - ah I really love the butkus as every manual I have seeked has been there (so far). Very good site. Mike - I may leave participating in those till I feel more confident. I must have a look at those threads.

<p>Ah, so much more information on that link! Thanks very much. </p>
