Hexar meets Ilford SFX

[Rob MacKillop]

I'll be posting more of these here. This is the first. I really like it, and it has cheered me up after the RB67 shots. From the Braid Hills, Edinburgh. Straight out of camera, save for size. Developed by Ag Photo Lab. Each shot is an incredible 87MB. I used an orange filter on the lens. Click for instant larger image.

Wow, that's a nice one! I love Ilford, they have fine films! And what a steep hill that is, glad I don't have to climb it!

No goats, I'm afraid...

Behind you!

I'd better stop uploading all 37 shots! Seriously, I'm so pleased - almost all 37 are worth sharing. I'll be doing a write up on the film and the Hexar for Hamish's blog, and will include more images there. Well, maybe one more!




Hmm. There seems to be a fingerprint on the lens or filter. But I won't let it get me down!

 

[Brian Moore]

Fine set of images, Rob. I love the final one. (Don't you know that for the best pictures you're supposed to shoot with the sun BEHIND you?)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You learn something every day, Brian

 

[Martin Carlin]

Another great set Rob

 

[John Allen]

Very nice set of images, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers.

I was going to say, "a match made in heaven", buy with a name like Hexar that doesn't seen right! Super series and I like the flare (which is rare for me!). It adds a lot. I really like the tufts. The contrast works so well in it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. Love the tufts.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I like them all but the first one more so. I have a question for you Rob. I see that the lab is processing your film, but do they supply you with the negatives as well as digital images on a disc, or just the negatives? In the last case you shall have to scan it yourself, shan't you?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent set Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ivar - I get them scanned to disc, but they also give me the negatives. Which is positive. If you see what I mean

I see naaathing, I'm a Norseman but thanks. So the scanned ones are top resolutions then?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Of course.
