Post Pics From Your OM

[Michael Da Re]

Michael D.,

Cool pics and cool camera. I'm a OM40 lover myself (got two); you've got to love the ESP. I can't understand when folks complain about the battery drain, never seems to bother them when using an 2SP or an OM4 much .

Thanks Colin. I actually just got my OMPC about three weeks ago and fell in love with it after the first roll of film. So far I've had no trouble with the batteries. Maybe I got lucky and found one of the good ones . I guess some people feel that comparing a OM40 to an OM2 or 4 is like comparing a regular Chevy to say a Cadillac. Even though they might have the same problems it's still a Cadillac.

Taxi, I love that shot of the dog in mid-air.

Here's a couple recent frames from an OM4 (bought on RFF) with a 50mm 1.4:

I like the middle one. What films did you use?

Tri-X 400 and Kodak Gold

 

[Darkhorse]

Did you develop it in Rodinal? It has that cool grain to it.

I shot some Tri-X last night at 800 and developed in 76 1:1 for 11 minutes and I was surprised at how fine the grain was:

such a versatile film!

Unfortunately I didn't process these myself - let a lab handle it and then worked with the scan in post until it was semi-presentable. Your shot has a much wider range of tones, the flexibility of which I'd prefer. Great results for you at 800 there - nice work.

Sweeet, Glad You like Me & Lulubelle ... THANK YOU Chris !
I adore the OM, its PURRfect

OK I think I've resolved most of the issues I was having with my OM1n. The lightleak I thought was a lightleak wasn't a lightleak. I changed my chemicals & developer and rewound and reeled very slowly and did not have a problem.

Here are a few shots from the test roll from this afternoon. I made 3 of them into a Tri-x Triptych:

And there's this goofy brass mug my dad gave me that I keep assorted bits of metal in:

 

[Chris101]

Very nice dark horse. Your triptych is more than interesting, it's thought provoking and insightful.

My OM-1 and OM-2 have served me well and invariably provide me with inspiration when I use them ... in a way that my rangefinders seldom do strangely.

Beautiful work as always Keith . You never cease to utterly amaze me. Instead of photographing the openings of others exhibits perhaps someone should be photographing yours.

I shot this a couple of weeks ago. And I thought to myself "I couldn't do this with a digital camera"

I went to Phoenix this weekend. Here are 3 snaps. None of them adequately express how hot it was there. These are also the first shots I've done using HC110.
