a couple nearly identical shots with the rokkor 17/4 on portra 160, can't decide which i prefer:
As I know you have an impressive inventory of that beautiful daughter IN focus/short DOF there's no doubt that I'd prefer #1. Great shot, worth a print- I'd try a quite harsh BW. Love that cute dress :-)
Krosavcheg: great profile. There's far too many aspects to like in that image to mention all.

Really astounding images! Pop even on a small screen. I would dodge the dog a little to make it show up better on a phone or similar device. Have to say these shots really inspire me. Thanks so much!
Hey, thank you :-). Glad you enjoyed them! It was a really fun trip (anniversary / birthday) so I was very pleased to get some photos from it which would throw me back to that time. I had planned a larger montage of images, and will still do that, but now that I have these two images beside each other, I think they work so concisely I may have them printed as a diptych of sorts.
I love this thread. Every time I revisit I am just so pleased with the images I see posted. Thank you all for continuing to share your film work!
I've been trying to work with the Hasselblad more and I think I'm getting the hang of it (I was always a 6x7 guy, 6x6 is foreign territory to me), but I'm contemplating future lens purchases if I decide to stick with this system.
having scanned film for the better part of the last 7 hours, here are the results.
those are from my recent trip to bruges. i hope you enjoy them!
all taken with my olympus om 2n + zuiko 28 2.8 on kodak portra 800 (tried it for the first time...i am absolutely in love with it!) and ilford delta 400.
Cookiemonster, what beautiful series. Next batch film I get is gonna be Porta 800. Did you do any post-processing to get the color/saturation rendition? Excellent work

the colors are pretty much right what i got out of silverfast. i just selected the portra 800 film profile and the photos were pretty much perfect right away.
only the b/w shots needed the slightest bit of an s-curve.
and then of course there were hours of dust removal
Sebboh, I really like the last two shots. The frames of both make them winner, and I no longer have the desire for Pixel PP the extreme corner of picture and worry about I don't have a good lens on my hand to keep me away from getting better pictures

thanks, i think... i never worry about how good my lens is when i'm shooting 35mm film. sometimes i don't even worry about whether i should try to focus it.
anyway, here's a picture i took because i was curious what a flower shot would look like with a 17mm lens:
and a picture of some gravel in cool light that suffers from motion blur :
edit: both on portra 160 with the rokkor 17/4 on an xd-11.
Katie, your kids shot those themselves? That's awesome!
Sebboh, love all the recent ones with the 17mm, I need to shoot wider more often.
R. Frank, great timing and composition on that skating shot.
Cookie monster, really good series there...
I have a lot of stuff to post, but I'll try not to overload here...

It's Zevi's job to cut up the melon before we go to the park (in the summer. In the winter we generally do apples and cheese).
These are a technical mess. My lens had a stuck aperture (which I wasn't aware of at the time), so all of these were shot wide open (35mm f/2). Which also screwed up my exposures (I think I was shooting mostly at f/4 (well I thought I was)). In addition the film was pushed a few stops but I don't think I rated it that way...
Why slide film you ask.
From an old Outdoor Photographer article about shooting LF film
The photographer had started using slide film.
The idea being he didn't have to be concerned with color filters.
Instead, he used the B&W conversion tools on a computer, probably Photoshop.
He used Astia, which is lower contrast, fine grain.
But I thought I would see how Velvia held up
I just found some expired Astia on Ebay, time to plan some late Winter visits
I know what some will say "you can do that with digital too"
