Lake Ontario is nice, but steam trains don't really interest me. The subject lost me rather than the photograph itself.

Well, I haven't put anything up on here for a while ...
As you might know I tend to use a fair bit of pp on my images - starting with a photograph and creating something new from them in photoshop. However, I've just bought a Rolleicord and I'm going to use it to learn more about lighting, exposure and composition because I can be really lazy (at least I admit my faults
).
So, got my first roll back yesterday - have uploaded 3 shots so far. I'd like it if someone had a look and told me what they thought. http://flickr.com/photos/buca/sets/72157600005519609/detail/
They are pretty mundane subjects ... I was just shooting like a madwoman around my house on a pretty dreary day because I wanted to get started!
Scanned from the negs on an Epson 4990, only thing tinkered with in photoshop was levels to help with the contrast. I'm not used to scanning negs, and am finding it pretty cumbersome to get used to the software: because I didn't get prints I have no idea if the final image is what is actually on the neg - but they look how I imagined they would when I was setting exposure etc. Oh, the film was expired too - 2000!
Just ordered a job lot of slide and b&w film from 7dayshop so I can get out and about

Very good - of course the shallow dof is spot on, and the way it's composed brings something a bit fresh to what could have been just another insect macro. Not that insect macros are inherently bad ...

Thank you you two
I'm thoroughly hooked. Going to set myself the challenge of learning how to develop b&w film this summer - then there'll be no stopping me

Its a piece of piss, really is. I'd advise you to take night classes though, first time I tried I used a tutorial off the internet and although it was concise it wasn't the same as someone showing you how to do it.

Thanks Zenie
Firkles: yup, someone else advised that too, and he's like the god of film too

It would make a good stock seller if the flowers weren't so crusty. I like it. Flowers everywhere here ATM. I was thinking stick some VC160 into the old Yashica J to see what happens. No idea yet how the lens handles colour.

It's very nice.
Are all the SFX down to lens, filter and film or, has a little PhotoShop enhancement taken place?
