November 2011 Photo Thread

Love the photograph of the train taken with the Kodak Retina 1a. You can mess around with photoshop or whatever all you want, but using a camera like that creates an atmosphere that is very hard to reproduce on a computer for a shot like that.

I found a roll of 120 Kodak Elitechrome EL400 at the back of a drawer. It expired some time around 2004.

What else to do but try it out?

Mamiya M645J with Sekor C 80mm f/2.8.

I had another go at this one in Paint Shop Pro. I was looking for the composting look without excessive contrast! This was the first effort!

It's really hard to say why I like the images from some old cameras from the technical quality of the image..but over all from the one linked to flickr it really captures 'something' and thats not necessarily a 'retro' look.

I'm going to have to get shooting with film again. I've always fancied one of those 1930's Carl Zeiss 6x9.

and a Canon oddity, their last FD body, made by Cosina while Canon's factories were busy churning out autofocus EOS cameras.

I too got an Yashica Electro from the carboot a while ago. I was very impressed with the images I saw on here when I was lurking about. Just need to sort out some batteries out.

I went on a trip to York. Here is a photograph taken inside York Minster and York Train Station.

As usual if you want the full 18 megapixel photos you can get them which are hosted in Deviant Art here : http://kippa2001.deviantart.com/

Popped down the river to Rotherhithe after work this evening and put together this 3-shot pano.

I've not been around for a while, but it's that time of year again... time to hibernate and post mindless drivel
