Most of the pictures of me (from my childhood) are slides or just prints in an album in my parents' house. I am sure she'll be happy to look at these somewhere down the line.

mine too. plus it's kinda cool that some of the pictures taken of me as a baby were with the same lens as some of the pictures of my daughter.
This one didn't turn out how I wanted. Everything ended up muddling together. No depth or separation. Hard to imagine how the tones render in b&w at the Cathedral. Though I do enjoy composing there.
Calumet C1
Kowa Graphic 210mm
8x10 HP5
f/64
10 minute exposure. Metered at iso 320 f/22 13 seconds on my D300s. f/64 and reciprocity failure meant a long exposure. The negative looks great. The chart I have for HP5 has been bang on.
I have just started to edit some of the scans from my recent trip. Here's a little preview (and a link in quotes as this will probably get resized by FM).
Well Holy Crap! That's 35mm film? Tell me about this editing that you did ... combined two negs for tone or what? That is gorgeous!!!! And sharp as $hit!
Just printed some 11x14 prints in the darkroom from 35mm negs (HP5 - the Yin Yang shot I posted earlier) and it's the largest I've gone before. I usually do 8x10. I'm going to dunk in some ferricyanide and selenium and hope to recover some whites, as I printed them rather dark (on purpose - for mood.) I see grain, but it's pleasing grain. It's times like these, though, when I wonder why I don't shoot with the Mamiya 7 more - that negative would be the BOMB. Of course, I am too careful with 120 6x7 negs - since I only get 10, I never shoot enough. AND my film was free! What's wrong with me!

Ken - what were you expecting with the Rollei film?
I was expecting pure blacks and whites like what I've seen online but it wasn't there. I'm sticking to efke 25 and tri-x. I have to shoot some c-41 b&w and some ilford to see how I get along with them.

Isosceles, very cool results with the Kodak Gold!!! What setup did you shoot these with?
I had Nikon FG-20 and 50mm(don't remember which one probably nikkor 1.8 or some cheap m42)
That roll was shot at summer 2010 and developed 2/2012, that time it was in my drawer waiting to be developed

I think it is the scanning software rather than the film itself.

Katie, the "Fujiblad" referred to is probably a Hasselblad XPan, which takes 24x65mm negatives on 35mm film:
The negatives are just so much larger than normal 3:2 stuff. I have wanted to pick up one of these for a long time, or a 6x17, but haven't prioritized it yet.
