That's some hot shit there, Nick.

I've been drawn to the grainy b&w look lately. I think #6 is my favorite.

[BBPhoto]

Nice shots Nick! I love B&W film. I have a Canon AE-1 program that I have been meaning to get out with this summer but I haven't had time for far. I love Ilford Delta too. Great looking film for sure.

[Mark_48]

I haven't used my darkroom gear for a good number of years and your images certainly serve as a good reminder why I shouldn't be too quick to think about selling it off. Great stuff!!

[Nickcanada]

Thanks guys!

It is a lot of fun but I think if I did more of this stuff I would buy a developing tank and a scanner but sending this stuff out is getting ridiculous. I feel less involved sending them. I liked them a lot more after putting my contrast and brightness stamp on them.

Great stuff Nick. Man, that's some serious grain. Can you run these through Noise Ninja? :D

My favorites:
#6

lol I should try it. :) I'd probably get an error message!

[jamison55]

#18 (shoes) is a piece of art IMO. LOVE that one.

[Mark_48]

Nick,
Have you tried any low ISO BW films? It really brings up detail in architecture and portrait type stuff. Significantly less grain as well.

[Nickcanada]

Thanks Jamie! I feel like those shoe shots are over done but I still like em' :o


Mark, I shot with T Max 400 before I'll post up some samples latter. I'm currently working on a roll of T max 100.

#20 looks like it could have been shot 30 years ago (that's a good thing :D)

[moxy81]

downtown never looked so good. good work buddy.

Thanks! I feel that way about all of the pictures actually! It's one of the reasons I was drawn to film. The fact that that retro style is in, helps quite a bit too. ;)

thanks! our downtown looks pretty small town eh!? I like it. :D I especially like the Classixxx poster, very classy.

Cool shots Nick :)
Film has a certain charm to it, that is very hard to reproduce

[Nickcanada]

Thanks! I've been thinking about developing my own negatives and scanning them to digital. You can buy pretty cheap scanners now. Epson V500 is 200 bucks after rebate right now.

Nick...definitely start developing yourself. I took the plunge a few months ago, and now find myself shooting a lot of B&W film. Since I'm a casual user, I bought a single reel tank, and a double reel too. As for developer, Ilford DD-X (one-shot, mix as needed, liquid). Plus, it's a great push process developer. You'll really like Ilford HP5+ film. It's great at 1600. Heck, go for extra grain and shoot it at 3200. It's a very forgiving film, and I've had a 100% success rate so far with HP5+ & DD-X. I've found the Delta films just a tad more finicky, but not too bad.

All else you'll need is a bottle opener to pop the cap off the film canister, some scissors, and a changing bag. I use the Photoflex "changing room". It's a bit more expensive, but easy to use (lots of room inside for one or two reels).

Thanks for the encouragement!

I was hanging out a used camera store on the weekend looking for a lens cap for my 50mm 2.0 and I was looking at the developing tanks and picked one up on a whim. I've been looking at youtube tutorials for developing and it looks like I would really enjoy it. A large part of the enjoyment I get out of this is showing off the results to you guys and friends and family so if I do start developing a scanner will be a must for me. I've got a few other things on my radar right now and just have to prioritize.

The people I'm shooting a wedding for in Oct have seen some of my B&W film shots and loved them and really want me to incorporate that into the day. I'd love to be confident enough by that time to develop the rolls myself.

Thanks for the recommendations for chemicals. It's quite overwhelming when looking at all the different types! I'll have to try the HP5 film.

If I do continue to shoot a lot of film I might just invest in a good Canon film body. MF is fun to play with but I wasted a lot of film when shooting that show. :(

I just read this a few times, and then followed the instructions:

Hmmm...after a quick scan of the development chart in the above doc, I might have to try my roll of Delta 3200 at ISO 12500...just because! :)

Thanks! I'll have to go through that latter.
