I hate to admit it but since I've had my new camera I've retaken quite a few but there again I havn't hardly put it down would have been a good year to have done a 365 lol great set Hamish

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers Dave.
I actually quite like taking the same photos again, I can see my own "progress" as a photog

 

[Dave Moss]

I agree Hamish what I wasnt expecting quite as much was the difference this camera has made!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I would have told you... had you asked
I sold a lot of those little fujis, but i also sold a lot of slrs to upgraders from them ... this was always the reaction!

 

[Pete Askew]

Definitely worth repeating yourself if this is the result Hamish. That first one especially. What delicate tones. And I like the oily patterns in the water in last couple. All-in-all a super set and a fine job by the little Ricoh.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thanks Pete!
the oil was a definite bonus ... ive not spotted it before ...
I did get a bit excited - mist and oily water bonus

Ive just put a roll of delta 3200 in the ricoh ... Ive got 2 rolls to process already so im hoping a 3rd will get me to get some ddx over them!

 

[Pete Askew]

I found that Ina's GR1 still has a roll in. I must get a new battery for it at the weekend.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Do!!

I'm liking #2 best, it has an abstract floating quality

As Pete mentioned - oil water is a real bonus in #4

You must be keeping your local D&P place in beer and fags with all the films you've been putting through!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, I have a thing for 2 ... It actually works really interestingly if you turn it upside down ... Just makes it a little more abstract ... I wasn't brave enough to post that though...

They know me in there for sure ... The one lady does anyway ... They keep getting new staff and there is a minor issue with quality control to the end of the roll and dust ... But for £2 for very printable scans ... I'm not going to complain!!

... It's just a shame film is getting so expensive!!

 

[Pete Askew]

Is a floating quality abstract in a boat? I'd have thought it was bloody well essential! That's a good point though. They are nicely separated from the rest of the world in that shot aren't they? Go on Hamish, give us an upside down one.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

The mood that's created by the fog is captured wonderfully. One of the great things about living on the water is how much and how quickly the view changes. Taking the same "shot" doesn't always mean getting the same feel. Adding the use of different equipment is just another reason to do it I think.

 

[Hamish Gill]

agreed Glenn!

 

[Brian Moore]

I like the first one a lot, Hamish. Love the sun trying to poke through the mist. In number two I see now what Pete was talking about in the other post--which I saw before this--and now I can assume that perhaps he has some Lagavulin left after all.

Actually they're all fine foties. Great set.

at 2 quid for processing you can't go wrong Hamish

Given the rate you use the stuff, can't you buy XP2 cheaper in bulk packs?

Ilford XP-2 Super Sharp B/W Film, Propack (50) #1839603 on eBay!

 

[Hamish Gill]

That's not a half bad idea!
