Some great shots to start with.  Love the bricks and that snap with the GR1s is a joy!

The GR1s is a fantastic tool ad the snap mode is really useful.  Moriyama used to shoot with one and it did him no harm  ;)

Hi all. I like the fact that this weekend's thread will be built on a solid brick foundation (or something). Nice  8)

Carlos: Have fun in the big city with the small camera. I lusted after a GR1 for years and then I got 2 and didn't like them. Crazy. Sold them on at a small profit and I'm really glad I tried them out, but it's still a total mystery to me as to why I didn't get on with them. In fact I didn't actually not like them, I just didn't use them enough to warrant keeping them when they had such a decent re-sale value.

Anyway, last weekend - inspired by the Taschen Polaroid book and buring to do something creative and slightly weird with the camera - I decided I was going to take some time out on Sunday to do some photography. I had an idea of getting the kids to draw on sheets of perspex with markers and then take portraits of them through the various layers. It was going to be awesome. Unfortunately, real life intervened and by the time I had my makeshift studio set up, the kids were SO not interested in getting involved. But I had the itch. I needed to press the shutter a few times and get it out of my system, so I resolved on a Plan B that involved taking a few photos of some beetroot. I know, right. Pff.

Nice photos, though  ;)

It's Friday, and St. Pats Day as well...
Mine's an old parking lot that's a bit on the wild side from the Spotmatic F and 55mm 1.8 lens, which I am enjoying a lot now.

 ;D ;D ;D yes, sometimes reality intervenes in our little master plans. 

Lets see what happens with the GR1, at least I am gonna give it a chance, or two! I thought the Contax G¡ was handy, but the Ricoh, may be too handy...  :P

Nice Beetroots!!  ;)

The Wall, Thick as a Brick.  Sorry for the old man's rock references but I like the photo.

We had yet another snow cancellation day last week.  Cabin fever calls for desperate measures so I broke out one of my more bizarre camera rigs.  These two were made in my modified-for-35mm-film Brownie Hawkeye on Tri-X and developed in Caffenol C-L.  (The wide format works better for horizontal landscapes than for portraits, I think.)

Blaxton, that's an interesting modification to the Hawkeye, have you tried flipping the lens with that configuration?

This week, I have finally developed the film I ran through the Olympus XA I bought from Late Developer.

It's a little miracle, although it is a bit fiddly to use.

I took these with Ilford XP2. I'm building a darkroom next!

You've got to love the optimism of the local kids. Fair play to them.

This is the real Watership Down, the one the book was written about. White Hill and the Hannington Tower on the right, and Reading just on the horizon.

Well, Chris667 has got more out of the first roll with my old XA than I ever did - probably because I could barely see the rangefinder patch.  Bravo - I really like his shot....!

First film developed in over 10 years - Kentmere 400 in Ilfosol 3 for7 minutes - some dust action in Elements.
This is 35mm used in the GW90iii wth the spool adaptor. There is some kind of problem on the left side (I could crop it out) - that's on every frame in the same position, doubt it's a light leak but will see the next time. Also some kind of reflections by the top sprockets maybe due o scanning - film not entirely flat.
Thanks for the advice in my scanning thread.

Two from me this week, of a couple of my favorite subjects: my older daughter with her new son; and her daughter. Both Leica M6, Summicron 50/2, Tri-X, lab processed and scanned.

One of the better portraits of my daughter. Svema make some interesting films and I think these would be difficult to wet print.

This poor Karmann Ghia...a full roll cage was welded inside and comes out along the bottom of the door. I wonder what it looked like in its prime.

Quite liking Reinhold's bricks and Becky's parking lot. Chad, that Ghia just makes me sad - a hardtop Ghia is a beautiful thing, and that it was a racer makes it that much more depressing to see it like that.

That said, mine is also a car that's seen better days. While it did not begin life as anything so appealing as the Karmann Ghia, or live so interesting a life as a race car, I suspect from its location that the last moments of its life were at least rather exciting...

Yeah, it's a great lens that hasn't gotten as much use as it deserves. I've hauled it out recently as I'm working on a project that involves normal to long lenses (50-135) and I want a consistent look, so I'm using three Sonnar-type lenses: the Canon 50/1.5, and the Nikkor 85/2 and 135/3.5.
