What do you see like: 2014

Another year, a fresh roll, a formatted memory card, a new bottle of fixer, a quick swipe of the glass platen, another folder on the hard drive...

I'll start with some more post-midnight NYE shots...

Top one is lovely!

Got a couple of rolls of film developed today, though nothing on them taken in 2014.

Are they 35mm, schlump? Colours are great and the scans beautiful.

From today's scans:

hey thank you michael. yeah they are 35mm; i keep meaning to post some digi-snaps here from my cellphone but otherwise i am always 35mm. i am getting a lil better at scanning - i bought compressed air & gloves! - but it's still kinda frustrating seeing others' superior scans. i posted some really lovely dale bolender pics in another thread, they are the kind of thing i'm half in love with & half just jealous of the processing of. your pics are nice, too; motion blur is something that beguiled me when i started taking pictures, i lost interest in & now am hyped about again.

love those michael, the third one especially

b+w shots of lots of lights at night never get old

You seem to be doing a great job with your scans so far, schlump. I get pretty jealous of others' superior scans, but it's patience and practice to some extent, isn't it?

Grady, I got lucky - only had my phone and my XA with me, didn't expect to see any of those things but glad I did.

i keep meaning to revive an old maybe-chinavision-authored ILP thread about workflows & stuff, because i feel like i have just slowly stumbled on the weird process of scanning & adjusting colours for negative scans, googling VUESCAN HELP every couple of weeks & stopping doing things wrongly. i do enjoy getting just-about-okay-enough to succeed in scanning at some acceptable level, then getting comfortable, & then feeling able to try to do another thing with scans, though; if i look back over the past year they are gradually more correct, gradually less dusty, gradually more consistent between frames & so on.

I should leave the 50 on there for a week and shoot B&W JPEGs wide-open at ISO 6400...

; )

yup! Hawaii.

dayo has a lot of cassettes and bottles of nasal spray

I probably won't have anything to post here for awhile. I have a lot of scans recently, but am not ready to do anything with them yet. Gotta spend time on some other non-scanning activities for the winter probably.

Speaking of scanning though, I usually do batches of about 20-30 rolls over a period of a week or two, and for the record my scans are often actually kinda dusty. I figure if I really like a picture I can rescan or just clone out the dust. Or just roll with it. Never had any luck with Vuescan. Always gave me weird color casts or clipped highlights. And some rolls are just hard to scan and get the colors right. Others are super easy.

Actually I probably should try to process and upload some pictures soon. I might start just dumping stuff on flickr.

Anyone ever get photobooks printed? I'm thinking of doing some cheap ones just to get in the practice of editing.

for China?

龜 that's so rad. i feel like i newly understand how it must feel to be just a full-blown, rangefinderforum frequent poster, receptive to the charm of just gear pictures, of seeing film in multiples. & what's legacy 400 like?? & what are you gonna do with the 120? just to throw down an ILP-wide schlump endorsement on this topic f w i w i would totally be fooling with this if i shot 120, i miss the 135 unbearably,

http://thedigitalvisual.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/0900688a80cd133b_EKN028095_EKTACHROME_E100G_120_front_645x370-e1330649377793.jpg

china i miss seeing your photos. NO PRESSURE. make a book. emmet gowin's first book was just five copies i think. so there's a book. i should make a book. i feel you about the scanning, though i am sticking with vuescan for now, i don't know what else i'd use with just a desktop scanner. the nikon programme seemed pretty good.

Haha legacy 400 is just Neopan 400 which is what most of my HK pics were shot on

Just remembered that Neopan 400 is discontinued

This is priceless stuff then. Fuck it

120 is... I'm gonna inhabit Vivian, wear her clothes

they stopped making ektachrome in 35mm??????

^ good board description

gr8080 yeah, e100/200/' extra color' is discontinued since a year or so ago; 120 still exists, & there's still some stock, expensively, through random amazon marketplace sellers. my fav slide film! pour one out.

I still have a bunch shot but unprocessed in my fridge, like when bobby in the sopranos had the last baked zitti his wife made in the freezer, saving it

I have a document somewhere - probably on the old laptop - detailing film stock and where stuff is (e.g., "Fuji Reala 100, exp Aug 13, complete Jan 12 2013, top drawer" and "Provia 400F, exp Sep 10, Bronica SQ-A (9 of 12)". I know I have at least one APS, a couple of 135s and a 120 awaiting processing. Every camera has a roll in it, including the Polaroid back for the Bronica. Nothing will be processed within expiry dates at this rate.

Meanwhile, bike saddles. They're still around.

schlump you have such a distinct style of late, i'm in to it

summer is scanning with such sweet sorrow

dang schlump

schlump I never want you to get a lens wider than 50mm

ha, ty, btw,
&: for the last couple of months i have been using a 35mm!
:/
i haven't really seen how it looks, yet. developing so slowly.
at first i missed the sensation of looking intensely, almost staring, the sorta leaning hyper focus of everything being up front. & hcb used a 50mm? who knew. but so far it feels like i can still move in & get that. i'm only-mainly-worried about the dof, like it is a 2.8 instead of a 1.8. hmmmmm.
& i'm having such a hard time with equipment lately. like there is that particular downbeat disconsolate feel of cameras fucking up, maybe because there's such an available body of digi-peer-pressure that you feel at once contrarian & wrong, ha ha. problems. lack of care. each lens has some problems. but maybe i should buy another 50mm! because they're cheap.

this was just a deluxe thank you

1, 2 and 4 above - great.

A homage.

Looks like Flickr have fixed the links in the "new photo experience" (which I quite like the layout of, just didn't like the broken stuff), so I'll have a go here...

Finally got the first roll of film from my Mamiya 645 developed. This is the only thing I've found vaguely acceptable so far, a wee bit disappointed to tell the truth. I've struggled to think of things to photograph recently, and maybe predominantly using a DSLR lately has spoilt me. I have a cheap B+W roll in just now, will finish and dev that and see how I feel. Maybe I need to use higher quality film? There's so many beautiful MF images I've seen, would like to improve my game!

Covered our local festival at the weekend. On my feet, going from venue to venue, for about 9 hours over 2 days; our deadline for submission was 10am Monday so it was a late night Sunday. Had a minor card failure and lost about 20 images, which was a bit scary. Bit of an education from the pros who were covering things - seeing their files stack up in our shared Dropbox I can see they were so much more involved, talking to people, getting stories, etc. I was just floating above it, looking for pretty textures.

Not been inside though.

Rockabilly dudes: The Boom Boom Booms. Guy on right I actually knew in Liverpool 25 years ago, but we ended up living in the same
South London neighbourhood.

Snapped this at our fam reunion a few weeks back. Pictured is my mom talking to my brother (and his wife) next to my mom's mom who has severe Alzheimer's. I just love how detached, relaxed and care free she looks.

I do like that.

Ryoji Ikeda's Spectra installation in Westminster. Obv, the place is crawling with DSLRs, and we're probably all taking the same pictures. Oh well.

My girlfriend and a couple of her friends did a 5k yesterday, involving a mess of paint powder. None of them are visible in this shot.

A cautionary tale about color runs and zoom lenses

Lens seems to have been fine after the colour run.

man i have basically just stopped taking photos

I took my medium format camera out today in an attempt to finish the roll of film, took two photos and went home. Just wasn't into it at all. It's starting to worry me.

well for me the stuff i like to shoot (basically people and street scenes) are no longer available -- it's funny, i live in a p beautiful area (like a very short walk from this http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/15272580.jpg, which is not my pic), but nature photography is sorta boring to me (even though l love nature) and the rhythm of my daily life no longer compels me to keep a camera handy

like i think i should go on a vacation (which i need anyway) to reignite my passions, so to speak

also i think something is wrong with my leica and i'm scurred to send it away to whoever that old guys is that fixes them

Yeah, nature stuff is very difficult to make interesting. Part of my problem is I'm struggling to see anything "fresh" or new in my surroundings at the moment. Also discovered I've got some fungus or something in one of my MF lenses, so that hardly helped my enthusiasm levels.

It doesn't help that I've not been doing a challenge or project to make sure I'm actually going out of my way to take photos.

that's a great one gr8080

been a while, not sure how to add images anymore, let's see

i think maybe i will do this, come up with a good rural New England project -- problem is, a lot of interesting portraiture is available to me and like really really not available (ie - patients, hospital, etc)

1st looks almost staged, wonderful positioning/framing/lighting.

yeah that's perfect, beautiful & mundane

Thanks! I was on the other side of Oxford Street waiting for a gap in the traffic. Guy took a drag on his cigarette (go in close and you'll see the tip is alight) just at the right time.

Another gig shoot at Daylight Music. Easy to take pics in there - lovely light, static subjects. It's avoiding other photographers that's the problem.
