A Few from the old FE

[Rob MacKillop]

Nikon FE out for a walk. I must have done this roll a few months ago, but lost the roll until yesterday, when, rather mysteriously, I picked up a guitar I'd been using every day, when the roll fell to the floor. I've no idea where it fell from. Spooky, eh?!

Ilford XP2. Nikon 50mm 1.8. In no particular order.

1. Box Label




2. Listening In




3. What it says on the tin...



4. Reeds



5. The path through Fairy Wood



6. Elephant...



7. Palms



8. The Fallen




Processed at Boots. I did some minimal adjustment for exposure in Elements.

A fine set of images Rob, I particularly like 2 and 4. I have no comment to make on 3, though I can think of a few.

 

[Brian Moore]

What a fine set of images, Rob! The box label is like a spy shot, as if taken illicitly under the light of a desk lamp illuminating the contents of a top secret dossier. Listening In is an amusing capture you did well to spot and also to get in that lighting. (Did the camera's meter read the lighting conditions?) Elephant is another one well-spotted. The rest are just plain very good!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Gents.

Dave - keep your dirty thoughts to yourself, young man!

Brian - thanks for your very positive and thoughtful comments (unlike those of Dirty Dave!). I honestly can't remember what the camera indicated for exposure of the lassies bletherin. I think this was my first and so far only film through the FE, and I do remember getting a wee-bitty confused with its two-needle exposure system. But all bar one of the 37 shots came out okay, exposure wise.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Fabulous set Rob - also impressed that Boots still dev film!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, they do. Not very well, but they do.

 

[Russ Butner]

Looks good. Excellent lens and film.

 

[Raza Shaikh]

Nice set of pictures! I like the last one more!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I like that one too, Raza. Thanks.

 

[Pete Askew]

That's no elephant, it's a giant chameleon!

The shot of the eavesdropper is fabulous (and a classic MacKillop).

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete. The tree that thinks it's an elephant, dreaming of being a chameleon...there's a beautifully illustrated kid's book there, methinks!

 

[Pete Askew]

I'm looking forward to reading it!

 

[Aaron Quinn]

You have a great eye! I'm learning a lot by sneaking around the site and taking it all in.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Aaron. It's a good site for sneaking around
