Last (Velvia) Roll with RB67 Pro SD

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm not sad at letting the camera go - I just never got the best out of it. Only six images turned out, I don't know why the others didn't. Anyway, here they are. Farewell to all that. It was fun.

Nice enough shots, Rob but they don't have the magic that your Merrill ones do. Having said that, I do like the one looking into the glasshouse.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Agreed, Pete. I just couldn't be myself with it. I'm not down about it, though. I started photography about four or five years ago, and have been on a long learning curve - in many ways I'm still on it - and some things have worked really well, while others not quite so. I'm pleased to have learned a lot about photography along the way. Onward!

YOU may not be too keen on these images by I love the colors the film has produced and I especially like the one of the plants in the greenhouse.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. Appreciated.

 

[Martin Carlin]

The first one looks like it might have suffered a bit from camera shake. The second is as good as any image I've seen on this forum. The third one looks like a developing failure, but that seems strange given that the other images turned out. There's nothing wrong with the shot of the front of the greenhouse that some post-processing couldn't fix, although that blank sky is a bit of a problem.

One good image from a roll of 10 isn't really a bad ratio. Not when that one is as good as the shot through the window. However, I can see why you are disappointed. It's not exactly a point and shoot camera is it? I hope to have an easier time with my rb67, mainly because I'll be shooting under controlled lighting conditions.

Cheers, Lads. Yes, John, it is more of a studio camera. You should get on fine with it. The third image was taken in a very hot greenhouse, with the lens, the viewing screen, and my glasses all steaming up! Turned out better than I thought it would.
