Here's a few from the first roll of film I've shot for 20 years on my recently aquired 35GSN.
Old railway station in the fog:

Thanks for looking.

In my weak moments, I like to blame my bad photography on my equipment, then I see stuff like this from a GSN and you've inspired me to keep trying. You've got the eye my friend. '

Thanks for the positive comments.
Developed and scanned onto CD by the local photographic shop. Converted to proper greyscale and adjusted contrast in Lightroom. That was about it.

Welcome back to film. These good pictures should force you to do more film shooting!

Brilliant shots, did you use a pro lab or at least a proper photo store, I'd be amazed if a supermarket place could churn out scans like these.

Those are good shots. Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are my favorites. I love the tonalities as well as the composition. Looks like in 20 years you haven't lost your "eye."
Looking forward to seeing more.

Lovely shots. I particularily like the 2nd and third, very atmospheric.
That looks like the Cuckoo Trail...
Correct?

Hey, welcome back to film, Dave! I came back about a year and a half ago, after a 30 year hiatus, when I began by shooting my Yashica Lynx. A few months later, I picked up a Leica M6TTL rangefinder and a lot of cheap film off ebay. I now have 300+ rolls sitting in my freezer. Since last year, I've aquired a Leica MP and a couple more lenses. A couple months ago, I took a B&W darkroom class at the local univeristy, to see if I could get into developing my own again (after 30 years ago in high school). Well, now I'm sitting with a bunch of darkroom stuff I got off ebay for a song, and one of my winter projects is building a darkroom in my basement.
Moral of the story? You've come home, my friend.

Thanks...I intend to. I like the fact that you don't know what you're going to get untill you develop the film. It has forced me to think more about my images rather than just clicking away and chimping with the DSLR.
No these were processed and scanned onto CD in the local photographic shop Jessops (a chain of shops here in the UK).
Thanks Jan.
Thanks. I'm not sure where the Cuckoo Trail is...these were taken at Holmsley station (now a tea room!) on the old Holmsley to Brockenhurst line in the New Forest, Hampshire, UK.

Thanks Marke, I'm not sure I'm going to go the whole hog just yet, but you never know!

Dave, you have echoed the exact reason why I've been enjoying film so much again. Digital CAN be a valuable learing tool, but I found myself editing too much in the field, leaving me without any visual reference to later learn from my mistakes. But, because of the ability to fire off more shots in a second than we ever dreamt of with film, if we don't edit in the field, we spend half our life editing WAY to many images back on the computer.

Move somewhere where there is fog.
I love the pictures, and I always find pictures in the fog enticing.
Hmmmm. Vaseline on a filter?
Nice shots and good examples of the quality of Yashica Rangefinders cameras.

The Cuckoo trail is an old (branch?) line that ran through an area of
East Sussex. Similar story I guess, different place.
I've nver been to the New Forest, a bit too far afield for me.
