The Luxury of Time Travel.

DaireQuinlan

Shot a roll of 120 in December and then promptly forgot about it. Unearthed it from the fridge the other day and processed it. I sometimes love those unintentional delays inherent in film shooting. It's like a very immediate leap backward in time when they come out of the tank. When I took these Lara was barely 5 months old and was just getting the crawling together. Her first birthday is today









(these are on the random photo thread as well, so apologies to people who are catching up on them for the second time)

Lovely shots, makes me want to shoot film even more

Beautiful colours and amazing depth. Love a photo when it looks like you can reach into it.

Really nice, what film?

magicbastarder

these would look much better if taken on expired 64t...

That second one is epic, so much depth its crazy. i dont think a 5dmk2 with a 50mm 1.2 could achieve that kind of beautiful result. Great work, this is what I love to see getting posted up here, just amazing!

DaireQuinlan

Thanks all. They were all taken with the 80mm f/2.8 probably shot wide open which accounts for that characteristic, almost 3D like, MF depth. The Bronica lenses don't have that mythical zeiss look that the Hassie standard lenses do, but they hold their own.

All taken on Kodak portra 800

If only a source existed somewhere for such a maddeningly elusive emulsion !

Daire your talent with film always make me want to take up film photography in a more serious way than messing around with a Diana Mini & Holga. These are beautiful shots, what camera were you using?

Kintarō Hattori

Very nice Pops, easily some of your nicest casual portraits yet. Fantastically detailed and they have a lovely warmth to them.

NooSixty

Absolutely fantastic!

Brilliant Daire - as someone who is so ridiculously kack handed when it comes to working with film, developing and printing, that i tend to get angry and give up i can only sit back and admire the work that people who use film on a regular basis.

That's the most irrelevant bit :-)

But for the record, it's a Bronica SQAi, 6x6 format. These were all probably taken with the 80mm f/2.8 S, it's the standard normal focal length for a 6x6 format system. Shot on Portra 800 which can be nicely grainy on 35mm, it's lovely on 120.

You'd get a similar look to them though shooting any MF system with a reasonably wide aperture. This following is shot on a Yashicamat TLR for example ...

I'd take a Bronny over any woman right now! Square format eludes me!!! There is a Y124 for about AU$350 (maybe $550??) near my place.

I guess I'll have to be happy that this arrived today....

Sweeeet
I actually never realised just how small that camera is, funnily enough this thread popped up on photo.net yesterday ...

Mannn that 110 is tiny :-) Even the pen-f looks huge compared to it.

pete4130

There is a transparent version of the 110....I really want that...and apparantly there is a pentax 110 SUPER that had a 24-70 (or 28-70) 2.8 lens!?!?!?!? nigh on impossible to find, let along buy!

My 110 arrived today but I'm working up in Queensland until Tuesday so NooSixty has the pleasure of playing with it (and a keyring micro 110 as well that came with it) until I get back. Got 20 rolls of film ordered and on the way too.

The 110 might be my new Voyeur camera.

I get no such satisfaction unless I can find that one shop that sells the film for it

I have a spotmatic at home that I often play with even when there isn't any film in it. I like the shutter button action and the mirror noise and the half broken non-returny film advance. I go around the house and pretend to take pictures of my kids.

^^^^

I love it. I do the same with my F100 with no film. The film advance motor sounds and feels sexual. The hum of film advancing is amazing when it is loaded.

I just need to decide what my next camera is AFTER my SQ...I almost got a Pentacon SIX TL the other week.

jpb1974

Feck it... since ye are all drooling so much...

50mm for the RZ67 - On the way to Daddy - should be here Monday.

Wouldn't it be expensive to fly all the way to Dublin to chase my kids around my apartment with my spotmatic ? And not even get any shots out of it Some people :rolleyes:

Hmmm come to think of it, it probably would be slightly more cost effective to just chase my sisters kids around with the Pentax.....

I won't go so far as to say I hate you Pete but you're definitely out of the good books for the moment! You didn't do anything wrong as such, some might say you even did a great thing buying a Pentax. But..... I've been meaning to buy one of those for absolutely ages and right now you've made me super envious. I fell for it a long time ago but keep finding poor examples or getting side tracked by something else and then forgetting about it.

Right. Next pay cheque I'm going looking for one too. I have 2 x ME Supers, the K100D Super and had the K-7. The auto 110 is next on the list!
