So, let me wish you all a happy weekend, fellow filmwasters!

I give you faces, at a bar in Oslo.

Unless I'm very mistaken, that lass is giving you "the look". However, I dread to think where her digit's just been, given the look on the face of the bloke on the right hand side

This is an hilarious photo and should be subject of a caption competition.

Flippy's second is doing it for me this weekend.

I think this may be a FW first but I'm going to submit my Cinestill 800T video. Just a little repost from the 800T thread. I hope no one minds. Will update with some actual samples tonight!

Faces at the bar

She is thinking 'I love boys that use film and have a well-used rig'.

Great shot. As judges say, nicely seen. Or decisive moment. Or both

Mab · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2017, 06:20:56 PM »

Always wanted a Leica with an old lens with glow and soft corners. Never had the money for it. Then one day someone gave me a clunky Canon MC for free. Very nice. Heaps of glow and soft corners. I'm happy:

My faves this week are the shots from Aksel and 02Pilot.
This week I have shot an expired film that I really like (for a change), the Fujicolor Press 400.

Contax RX / Yashica ML Macro 100mm f3.5 / Expired Fujicolor Press exp. at box speed.

GW690iii
moved to colour now - used a film I had available: Kodak Ektar 100. Have read this is a difficult one. Certainly my experience but then I am struggling a bit with manual exposure, the light hasn't been too great, scanning is still a bit hit or miss (creating huge files!). Just a bit treatment with PS to lift the blue.

Another great weekend thread. Really like O2 Pilot's lakeside shot and Fluminian's twisty tree.

Mine are a few from a trip to a local railway museum. I'll see if I can post a few more onto the "Essay" thread. Leica MP and 35mm / 50mm Summicrons + Kodak TMax 400 on a very dull day.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2017, 07:08:14 PM »

I need to post this and dash, but will be back to comment on some of the beautiful images above. Well done.

Mine's a recent scan from an old print. Washington DC back in 1987. Plastic camera & generic film probably. My friends, Steve & Molly after Steve got his prized PE shirt ripped during a fight at a Naked Raygun show earlier that afternoon.

Amazing show from everybody. Aksel: what can I say? Crazy Oslo people!

This wall was on my list for weeks. Finally got it. Dynax 5, Sigma 24-70, APX400n, Wehner dev.

If ever I am in the neighborhood—wherever the neighborhood might be—then I will want to visit LD's local railway museum.

I am making some progress working (for fun) through my self-designed Caffenol tutorial. Many thanks, Reinhold, for providing the excellent text on-line for all.

These two, of the Providence, Rhode Island waterfront, are made on FP4+ in a Century Graphic 23 with a 90mm Angulon lens. It took one or two attempts, but I think that I now have the correct amount of restrainer in the soup. I really enjoy using Caffenol C-L. Film developed in it seems to require far fewer adjustments after the negatives are scanned.

Well, Blaxton, if you're ever in the UK and have the time to get to the Essex / Suffolk border, make sure you let me know as I'd be delighted to show you round this place. Incidentally, I've just posted a bigger set on the "Photo Essay" board if you're interested in seeing a few more.

Love the train museum shots from Paul!

Mine is from this afternoon with the Spotmatic F and f/1.8 Takumar 55mm lens and Arista 100.

There's a spot in my back yard where a hawk has had her lunch. It may be a bit sad, yet life goes on.

Thanks, Paul and Kai-san.

Wow, Ed, a Naked Raygun show. Did you ever get to see Minor Threat?

Reinhold that wall is magnificent glad you got round to it!

An experiment in abstracting a NSFW post into something SFW.

I've done 3D gifs but I thought why not get a little more out there (5th Dimension? My beautiful balloon?) with a sequence of pics taken in sequence instead of at the same time as in a 3D or stereo camera.

Indofunk · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2017, 02:35:00 AM »

I'm struggling with the crop on this one. The original has a lot more negative space at the top right. Mathematical me says to put the singer's head right at the intersection of the rule of thirds lines, but artistic me says that doesn't look right. This crop is a compromise between the two, so neither of me is happy

Satish, sometimes it's good not to care for rules -> https://flic.kr/p/SQXQRf

Francois · « **Reply #23 on:** March 13, 2017, 02:32:25 PM »

There are so many ways to compose other than the rule of thirds.
Golden ratio, Fibonacci sequence, diagonal, and so on.
From memory, Eric Kim had a good video on composition on YouTube

"Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools". Quote attributed to Harry Day, the Royal Flying Corps First World War fighter ace.

This may not be a credible defence when accused of a serious crime but, IMO, it fits perfectly for "artistic" and "aesthetic" rules.....

I understand what you are trying to achieve but in my opinion the cycle speed is too fast to appreciate the images.

I know I always tend to crop fairly tight, so if it was my print I would probably chop out a heck of a lot of stuff on the right where basically nothing is going on (and the blackness doesn't bring an air of mystery to the image either). But that's just my 2¢ worth.

Mike (happyforest) · « **Reply #27 on:** March 13, 2017, 08:08:46 PM »

How about cropping the two lights out of the top of the frame and part it the dark area to the right of the image.

Francois · « **Reply #28 on:** March 13, 2017, 08:26:23 PM »

or simply burning them in?

jharr · « **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2017, 10:14:28 PM »

Once I recovered from my hookstrap induced seizure, I enjoyed Satish's guitar player. I like the composition. It looks like a giant robot is about to chomp his head off! Seriously, I do like the balance you struck here.

Spent the day in a smaller town about 2 hours drive from where I live. We've had a good snow year, so the waterfalls have been fantastic:
