This was taken with my medium format Yashica 124G Mat, I wish I could shot with it more often but it cost too much money to get the film developed. Enjoy it.

    Thanks, it looks a little out of focus but you can see the original which is in focus on my site.

    what film do you use- and is it 120 or 220 roll?-

    it's been a long time since I've done traitional darkroom, but have you looked into developing film on your own?---

    I would think that the cost savings would be substantial-

    I really don't know if it can be done but if it can, you might want to check it out-

    if it's similar to the way 35mm tri-x used to be done then it's no biggie-

    It really isn't that expensive

    But I guess all things are relative. For medium format I just have my local mom & pop lab develop the film and then I scan the neg at 600dpi. It's less money than the "chain camera stores" that sound like Wolf or Ritz and they do a much better job.

    These "chain camera stores" are horrible and I can get a 16 shot roll developed for about $5.00 at my local mom and pop place. Look around and I bet you can find a place like this.

    Now Velveeta mwink.gif is another story. I've calibrated my scanner but I can't get good color rendition from it so I have Velveeta developed and digitized. That runs a bit more money.

    Very nice shot BTW. thumb.gif

    I develop most of my black and white film at school, but now since its summer I have no way of doing. I really don't want to go through the pain of buying chemicals and rest of that stuff, also my parents wouldn't approve of developer and fixer being used anywhere in the house. But I have a couple of rolls of Velvia that I plan to shoot with while I'm in Cali for the next two weeks. I will probably just spend the money and get it developed at some lab.

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    That's a nice shot. I like the on your site a bit better.

    Hopefully while you're out here in California, you'll get to some of the scenic spots!

    Ohhh and I use 120 sized film.

    Ian do you know of any good spots to shoot around Huntington Beach, I know Huntington Beach itself is gonna provide me with enough photos, but is there any good isolate beaches or anything else around there ?

    HB was a bit of a secret but not anymore but If you have a longish lens, you
    can get some surf shots over at the pier.
