First Trip with the Trip

[Dave Green]

Some snaps from my first roll with the Olympus Trip 35 yesterday up in them there Lakes...

1. Window

2. Rydal Water (My fave I think)

3. Watendlath

4. Watendlath

5. Watendlath walkers

6. That shop in Keswick

 

[Allan Batchelor]

I like my auld architecture so think my fave is the window but Watendlath comes a close 2nd.

 

[David Mitchell]

Which film did you go with?

 

[Pete Askew]

Looks promising Dave. I agree with your favourite.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I quite like #4, a really interesting composition I think that one, not sure what it is about it... Just really sits well and holds my interest! Very nice!

I too am interested in the chosen film?

... And your experience ... I love a point and shoot ... How do you find it?

 

[Dave Green]

Ta

Ilford XP2 was the film.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Your xp2 looks different to mine! The higher tones are less high... Who/how is deving and scanning?

 

[Dave Green]

Good old / new Jessops in Manchester.

The scans were a bit wishy washy compared to the prints - so I've done a little levels/curves to bring them nearer.

I actually got two sets of prints - cos the first set they did were backasswards lol - the young lass put the negs in the wrong way round!

 

[David Mitchell]

I like the first 6 images in this set very impressed with the auto exposure of number 2 though.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Is it any different to old Jessops?

 

[Dave Green]

They seem a lot more knowledgeable. The guy and gal on the photo lab certainly know their stuff.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Bar the putting the negs in the wrong way

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Dave - looks like the Trip was worth it then!

Loving Rydal Water - what a lovely comp and scene - still looking very wintery in B&W then?

You tweaked images do a a very distinct look - almost silvered.

 

[Beth Anthony]

great series! love the reflection in the first, but the third has to be my favorite of the bunch. the second reminds me of an illustration in a storybook i had as a kid.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Very nice series. I keep looking at the hikers and finding things. The reflection of her backpack and tree is one...

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

Really nice shots there, #3 probably my favourite - I like the light on the mountains in the centre of the pic.

Your Jessops does Black and white?

Ilford XP2 is a C41 black and white film Andrew. That means it's developed in colour chemicals. You can get a colour cast - usually greenish or sepia - so seeing as the prints are done on a Fuji digital minilab - I ask them to set it to mono.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

Thanks Dave, I might try some of that.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Mono, pro scans ... That's what I get
