Doctoring
I broke down and touched up the contrast on a few pictures; worth it? Still not sure, but I’m leaning yes.
Cobblestones and sand and snow
I forgot my developing notebook, so I’ll get the nitty-gritties on the films and developing on here in a few days. Sparse details: Ilford HP5+ and TX400, mostly, pushed to 1600. All run through my F3HP, shot through an e series 35.
On cameras: I’m thinkin’ I may have to abort operation dave-saves-up-for-three-years-and-buys-a-M6/35-setup, and then start a new operation, likely to be titled dave-saves-for-a-year-and-buys-a-X100. Digital? DIGITAL? Well…yeah, I think so. Hmm. But have you SEEN that thing? Seriously, what a neat camera.
Somersault
Wheeeee!
(look close, feet airborne)
XP2 is awesome stuff, but I like HP5+ better. No dependable c41 development nearby…HP5+ is a clear winner. Time to stock up.
First foray, again
So a while back I forayed into film, here: http://wp.me/p14q4r-97. Since then, I have: bought a film SLR, a nice digital SLR and four lenses, and I have sold three lenses and a nice digital SLR.
So now, another first foray: development.
Ok, well sorta the first…maybe actually second. But lets just say these here were my first try, ok? I feel better that way.
For those of us: F3HP, e series 35mm, Kodak 400TX, Ilford chems
Last ado: when I got here I took some color film to the only film-developing guy in town, and the shots came out bluer than a song B.B. King wrote the day his dog died. I took these developed negatives to him for scanning, and half came out like these first five.
The good times
Some old pictures of the good times. I can’t even think of what to say about the times or the pictures, so like it ought to be they’ve gotta do their own talking. I love good black and white photos. Life lesson: good times are all about the people.
