Agreed that in need not be solely an annual event. I'm sure we'll figure something out sooner.

I developed the roll of Tri-X I shot yesterday, so once I get it scanned I'll be able to post some pics. Should have something up by tonight. No doubt.

An exhilarating day! Many thanks to Andrej and Leonore for patiently shepherding us around. Cold Spring is a very cool place (esp. after sundown) and merits return visits. Due to hitting the sack in a thoroughly wiped out state late last night (this morning) I only just souped roll #1. It may be a day or two before postable images emerge.

Best Sunday in years!

No doubt.

I have to add my praises for Sunday. It went so smoothly and it was fantastic to meet Peter, Satish, and Terry. These guys are Awe.Some. I don't know about anyone else, but I had no concept of how much time was passing - it shocked me when I realized how late it was getting when we headed back down the hill!

I shot all color so those rolls will be souped by my film guys, but I should be able to get some posted tomorrow night.

No doubt.

02Pilot · « **Reply #53 on:** May 20, 2014, 01:40:25 AM »

Glad everyone had a good time, and that we were able to show you something a bit different.

I got my Tri-X scanned, so here a a few shots to start things off, all with my Olympus 35 SP. I'm sure everyone will be adding theirs as film gets developed.

Indofunk · « **Reply #54 on:** May 20, 2014, 02:33:27 AM »

Ok, I can see already that I gotta get my shots in early or I'll be way too embarrassed to post anything

Great first shots, Andrej!

Mine are also going to take a while because I went through 5 rolls and I'm processing each one a different way

Kodak 400CN - Rodinal 1:100 stand developed
Tri-X - HC110 dilH
Fuji Superia - "hybrid process" (a term I invented for Rodinal into C41)
Kodak Gold 200 - bleach bypass
Kodak Ektachrome 64 (exp 1984) - standard C41 (xpro)

I actually souped both B&W's last night, and ALL THREE colors today

Now to scan ... see you next week

02Pilot · « **Reply #55 on:** May 20, 2014, 03:12:26 AM »

Geez, you're not making it easy on yourself, are you? I'm really interested to see how everyone else shot these locations - they're rather familiar to me, but you get into ruts no matter how hard you try. The shots I posted are some of my attempts to see them differently, but the choices others made are sure to be more interesting still. No doubt.

hookstrapped · « **Reply #56 on:** May 20, 2014, 01:37:06 PM »

No doubt.

Indofunk · « **Reply #57 on:** May 20, 2014, 08:29:27 PM »

Ok, souped 'n' scanned the B&W rolls, no doubt. And for the first time in my long and illustrious home development career, my "this will develop anything" recipe of Rodinal 1:100 for an hour didn't work. It seriously overdeveloped the 400CN. But luckily I was able to save a few shots, and they have a super-grainy, grungy look to them. I particularly like this candid shot of Terry

The rest of the B&W's are here, and I'll be adding to the album as I scan and process the color rolls: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152404889547278.1073741889.539577277&type=1&l=0558e485f6

Indofunk, some cool shots. I particularly like the one with the fireplace and the stone archway in the background.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #59 on:** May 21, 2014, 12:52:19 AM »

Indofunk: I like the one of Terry, the chain link fence and the shoreline snap.

It definitely looks like you covered a variety of terrain :-)

Terry · « **Reply #60 on:** May 21, 2014, 02:09:33 AM »

I like that one too Satish! Looks the way I felt later that night! Great set over there on FB too. Here are some results from roll #1. More to soup and two rolls of 160NC at the lab...will pick them up tomorrow...

...no doubt.

Added the Ektachrome. Aaaahhhh xpro'd Ektachrome, how I love you

I'm even nervous to buy more recent Ektachrome, or faster Ektachrome, because it probably looks really different.

All 15 in the FB album, but here are my faves

Nice to see the photos that have been posted thus far. The cross-processed stuff is pretty interesting.

I'm scanning my roll of color now. I should have something cleaned up and ready to post by sometime tomorrow.

02Pilot · « **Reply #64 on:** May 21, 2014, 04:18:54 AM »

I almost forgot to post this, amid all the film developing and scanning.

I figured you might be interested in seeing what some of the now-derelict buildings looked like in their heyday. There are some rare period photos here: http://www.hudsonvalleyruins.org/yasinsac/cornish/cornishold.html . Following the links on that page will also bring up some modern photos taken in winter, so you can see what it looks like covered in snow and ice rather than poison ivy and bugs.

Indofunk · « **Reply #65 on:** May 21, 2014, 04:34:37 AM »

Oh YES! Thank you for posting that ... I totally meant to look for photos of the intact structures, but me being me I forgot

Perusing now...

limr · « **Reply #66 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:20:11 AM »

I should be in bed already, but I was excited about finally getting some pictures scanned in. Here are a couple from before Terry, Satish, and Peter arrived:

This was the roll of Portra 160. There are still four more rolls of the Gold 200 to scan! I've set up an album on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/51692918@N05/sets/72157644759257091/

So far only these 6 are up, but there will be more scanning tomorrow.

No doubt.

Terry · « **Reply #67 on:** May 21, 2014, 04:33:08 PM »

Ahhh...the arch of doom!

Great link Andrej, the place looks very different from the way I had imagined it. Amazing too how much the vegetation has reclaimed, especially the barn.

02Pilot · « **Reply #68 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:02:48 PM »

Here's the first couple of color photos (Canon L1, Canon 50/1.5, Kodak Gold 200). In spite of the heavy green cast in the forest shots, I actually dialed the green saturation down in some of these. I was just THAT green out there.

Indofunk · « **Reply #69 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:10:02 PM »

Wow, that certainly is GREEN, no doubt. I love the second one, very fantasy worldy

And I haven't posted the really green ones yet....

The Canon 50/1.5 is very, very good at producing that dreamy look, especially wide open - sharp in the center transitioning to that great Sonnar softness with just a little vignetting, It's also partially responsible for the high saturation. I do love this lens.

Indofunk · « **Reply #71 on:** May 21, 2014, 07:26:25 PM »

Ok, added the last batch of color. This one is really weird. It was some expired Kodak Gold, 200ASA that I shot at 400 and then bleach bypassed. But the whole roll came out REALLY BLUE. I figure the developer must be spent (I'm gonna put one last roll through it tonight standard C41 and if it turns out all fucked up I'll know that was it)

Anyways, I considered color correcting it, but then I realized it looks pretty damn cool. And a stark contrast to 02Pilot's GREEN. Here's my fave:

02Pilot · « **Reply #72 on:** May 21, 2014, 08:03:38 PM »

I really like the last two from the Blue Roll.

Here's a couple more in color (same camera/lens/film as above):

Love that mossy log. To look at, I mean, not to use to cross a raging rapid

Indofunk · « **Reply #74 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:04:35 PM »

And here are my entries for the photo competition

I lost those two because of camera shake (damn 25 ASA), but I think I may win this one just because of the cool xpro factor:

This one wasn't actually a part of the competition, but I noticed Leonore posted a similar picture so I thought I'd share it

02Pilot · « **Reply #75 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:06:01 PM »

Just looking at the photos in this thread is making me realize that a lot of detail is lost in the size reduction - much of the delicacy of the log picture is lost, and there is much more shadow detail in the ruins photo than you can easily see in the small version. Since I don't want to post larger versions here (nobody likes having to scroll horizontally), once I get all of mine sorted out I'll put them in a gallery on Filmosaur (link below) where they can be easily viewed in a somewhat larger form.

02Pilot · « **Reply #76 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:08:31 PM »

Incidentally Indofunk, I can't see your photos linked here. I can see them in your Facebook gallery, but I suspect my array of tracking blockers and other security doohickeys is stopping the Facebook-linked pics. Any chance of posting them on another hosting service?

Indofunk · « **Reply #77 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:22:37 PM »

Sure, I'll upload them to my server and update the links to point there. And I bet it's Facebook's security that's not letting me hotlink, not your settings

Love the AAARFFFFF, love the mini-waterfall, but I'd like to see the other entries for the gap in the trees, because neither of ours really captured what I was feeling at the time, which was something like "I've been surrounded by trees and insane green for the past 3 hours and all of a sudden look! here's a break in the trees!"

Would've needed a wider lens for that. Too bad I didn't have my Pentax SFX with fisheye lens.

Indofunk · « **Reply #82 on:** May 22, 2014, 12:45:13 AM »

Yeah, I should've tried throwing on that wide angle attachment I told you about. Converts the 40mm Canonet lens to something wider than a 35. Maybe 28ish?

Also, I should try holding the camera steady

Thanks. I'm pleased with how they turned out. BTW, I didn't adjust the saturation at all -- when I tried to up it just to see what would happen I went temporarily blind and my computer shut down.

I was telling Satish, going back to something Lenore and I were talking about -- the way TLR reverse viewfinder images are disorienting, the last shot was pretty lucky because I was spending a good bit of time just trying to compose that thing. A TLR with a rectangular rather than square image, inviting you to try to shoot landscape, is the work of the devil. Just as I got by body contorted, my neck twisted, and my eyes screwed up just right so that I had sort of an even horizon and more or less the frame I wanted, the train rolled by. Click.

No matter how much I use my TLRs I always end up starting to adjust the wrong way before the Bud Abbott in my head smacks me and says "it's in reverse, you idiot" and I go back the other way.

It's just amazing how subdued the green is in those Portra NC shots compared with what I got on the Gold 200 (though it's worth noting that the lens I was using tends to render color fairly vividly as well). My straight scans were alarmingly green, but then I looked out the window and realized that it wasn't that far from reality. I still dialed it back a bit where it seemed absurdly garish.
