Mymamiya, Here I Go Again...

[Rob MacKillop]

These are all with the 90mm lens, just before the arrival of the 180 and 140...Gloriously untouched...

I think I put the 180mm lens on for the last shot, but it didn't come out. I'm not too concerned about that, as I wasn't 100% sure if there was a shot left. The counter said there was, but it didn't seem to take. Anyway, new film on the way...

Natural sunlight here, the table next to the window...

I'd just like to add that the spirits are for cooking only...

I've had that Traquair Ale!

Some nice shots, Rob. (You're acquiring some nice cameras. Except the Leica's not yours. But it's in yer hoose!)

 

[Dave Green]

Nice pix!

Mmmmm... Traquair House Ale - good stuff. Their Jacobite ale is the jewel in their crown though

 

[Pete Askew]

These are very nice Rob. I especially like the second. Is that a print from the very same camera?

No criticism but are these the pro-scans? If so I would tackle the developers about the dust etc.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good observation, Pete. Normally I send these films off to a guy in England who specialises in b&w films, but for this one I found a local shop who would do them, so I thought I'd try them out. I can clean them up myself, but, yes, they could have been done better.

 

[Paul Lange]

No I think they are from Rob's new hair PP filter.

 

[Paul Lange]

Very nice Rob, really great tones and richness

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

These are very nice Rob. I especially like the second. Is that a print from the very same camera?

No. It's a print of a painting - the Royal Gallery of Art being constructed on Princes Street in the 1840s, or there about.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Mmmmmm medium format goodness - sorry about the dust police Rob - what ya gonna do?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I know. What's he like?!

I have the negs, so might give them a try. About that - I see people use special holders for the negs when scanning. Why is this necessary, and can't you just lay the negs on the screen, covered by the lid of the scanner?

Cleaned and cropped...

Lovely tones in those!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I've had proper iiif list lately thanks to you

 

[Paul Lange]

Look good Rob but have you noticed the slight purple colour banding on some of them? Also the second from last looks like something has been spilt on the negative. Sorry if I sound negative (no pun intended) just wanted to mention it incase you decide to print any of them and then discovered the issues afterwards.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Paul, purple??? I don't see it on my screen. Not sure about the spillage either. What drugs are you on? Seriously, does anyone else see what Paul is talking about?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Hamis - a nice recently serviced IIIF at Ffordes - http://www.ffordes.com/product/10072316351254 - a few others there too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Paul Lange - on second look, you are right. I see a very light pink hue on the Leica shot. I don't know how that got there, as it is not on the original. For the new version above I cleaned up the spots, then used Levels to lighten it a little. And that's all I did. However, after seeing the pink, I took that image and desaturated all the colours to zero, and I did see a change. Here is the latest final version

Better?

 

[Paul Lange]

Super. What weird is that the purple hued banding is the same on three images, the Leica and the two bottles. Did you apply a texture filter?
