Attempt at Film

dkoyanagi

Back in September I bought a used medium format film camera. This one:



The price was just too good to pass up and it's in spotless condition. Since then I've been practicing my film and darkroom technique. I finally got a scanner to scan my prints and thought I'd share them with you. All photos were taken with a 100mm lens and a 6x7 120 film back, printed on 8x10 RC paper. BTW, these scans are nowhere near as sharp as the original prints.

Thanks for looking.

very nice DK

I'd love to get back in a darkroom and get my hands wet, watching as prints come to life in the tray of developer.



Your #2 image above looks VERY familiar. Can you tell me a little about the location?

Hi dkoyanagi, congratulations on the new camera.
Look quite bulky in size, is it heavy?

I like the second shot in this series.
The pathway across the water is very interesting, I'd straighten the image a little as it is leaning to the left.

Nice work on the B&W too .... Skippy

Thanks Angelo!

I find working in the darkroom rather relaxing.

#2 was taken at the campus of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver (my alma mater). It's been in a few movies and more than a few episodes of the X-Files.

With the prism finder and grip attached it weighs about as much as a Canon 1 series, maybe a bit more. With the waist level finder attached and the grip removed it becomes much lighter and very portable.

Thanks Marc! I find that the learning curve is a lot steeper for film than digital.

ahhhh thanks.

I haven't had a chance to look it up but I'm wondering... do you know if it's a Frank Lloyd Wright building?

Hi Angelo

Actually, the architect for this building was Arthur Erickson.
