Mono Competition

It’s a few weeks away, but I’m leaning towards the following images for the Mono Competition (digital section):

Paddington Station – Fujifilm GA645zi – Ilford HP5 Plus

For this most season I’ve stuck to Film images as that was my primary format. Now with the X-Pro 2 I’m mixing both film and digital images for the competitions. Neither of my entries got ranked in the top 3 last competition (3rd Quarterly)….

Reluctant Shopper – Fujifilm GA645zi – Kodak Portra 400

…..however the digital (Concrete Junction) was highly commended. Hopefully the mono entries will be more successful. I know the judge shoots film, but that hasn’t swayed my decision to enter a film scan, if anything the projection does tend to spoil the images – I’m tempted to get hold of a cheap projector to see they turn out.

Scanning

Had a bit of spare time today, it’s a Saturday after all – so I’ve fired up the XP pc and SCSI scanner in an attempt to catch up with my images taken in November…..

A bit of strange one this, a number of Igers folks have been playing with light and my mate Andy May (Alpha.brum on Instagram) is probably the local master at it. Anyway, common convention for these shots are a reasonable decent iso (200-400) and long exposure, colour obviously. But me not being conventional decided Film, ISO 50 at that (Ilford Pan F 50) and the film in question is black and white. It’s been processed a bit, but overall I like it.

The rest of the shots are from November’s trip to London for Callum’s birthday. Shot with both Ilford Pan F 50 and Ilford HP5 Plus.

Just got a couple of 35mm films to scan, those are a bit easier as I can do 6 images in one go. The 120 format is a bit more of pain as it’s single frame only.

Tezz – a film – no idea, but it features an explosion

So minding my own business the other day, I stumble across a film being shot in Brum. Actually it’s the second time I’ve come across the same film, but the other time was in the ICC. Anyway, got the camera out and started to shoot away. Then a member of the film crew informed me I wasn’t allowed to shoot their film when they were filming. Once I explained the law to him (public place etc) to him he went away. So I carried on shooting.

Tezz - the film of something - meant to be a train hijack or something
