Grabbed this on the tube yesterday. The next one may well be my first colour film image, processed at home. Wish me luck.

NICE

I like the content

I'd call this "Goin' Down,Down, Down....Down,Down"

Yes i like it too, not easy to capture human emotions in a public context.
reminds me of the air hostess on the moving walkway in the beginning of tarentino's "jackie brown" with the beautiful "across 110th street" soundtrack.

Thanks for your comments - it's not so easy in low light, with a fixed film speed, just one lens and moving at the same time but I enjoy the challenge. I think this style is for me long-term, that is why I am going to sell my digital gear and save for a Leica.



Gummy -> RE: My photo of the week 7 (Jan. 25 2011 12:21:36)

I thought you just bought a digital camera with a Leica lens? I looked at the Leica website and thought it was all digital now.

I saw the tail end of a movie the other day and thought of you. It was called "The Limits of Control". It was a minimalist film with very little dialogue following a lone black guy through Spain. There is some flamenco in it. The movie is very visual with lots of attention to color, camera angle, composition etc. I was almost suprised to not see you in it. [:)] Have you seen it?

Good shot! And you don't have anyone looking at you with the camera which is great.

And processing color at home? Hats off to you!

I will be keeping my little Panasonic LX5 with Leica lens - for point and shoot snaps. Leica still make a film camera, the MP which ricecrackerphoto uses I think, but I cannot afford one [:o]

For my "arty" aspirations I am looking at a used Leica M5 or M6 or maybe the baby CL which I kind of like.

I haven't seen that movie, I will check it out, thanks.

I haven't succeeded yet [;)] Got a Tetanol Press kit from Agfa, some Superia film and there is a washing up bowl in the kitchen at the moment, testing an aquarium heater to see if I can get it to 30C and stay there for the longer C41 development option. I'll keep you posted.

A very nice shot. Excellent composition and a variety of good expressions captured. Technically perfect.

I processed several hundred rolls of Fuji Velvia slide film, shot underwater in a Nikonos V or Nikonos RS. There's a steep learning curve to U/W photography, and i knew that waiting at least three weeks for mail order processing to come back would be very inefficient. I lived in the Central Pacific at the time.

Kodak used to make E4 kits, but they stopped.

I had no trouble with temperature control, just using a water bath of a couple gallons capacity and the hot/cold mixer faucet at the kitchen sink. The apartment building where I lived had a near-infinite supply of very hot water, so mixing for the final wash could give a very stable 100 F (38 C).

I was never brave enough, nor did I have the time to dip my toe into the complexities of color printing, though a couple of my friends did very well. Slide film is not the best route to prints, but I got good results from a pro lab in Austin, Texas, where I visited at least once a year on vacation from the Pacific.

Good luck!

Same experience here. I never had problems with the E4Kit and temperature control, but we were living in Saudi Arabia at the time ...
And I wasn't brave enough either ...
