W/NW: I like grain

Here's some grain for you guys. I took it with my self-repaired my FED-3 awhile back as can be seen in this thread on another forum HERE

Well turns out the rangefinder adjustment went well but the shutter curtains are lagging. Oh well! I'm pretty happy with this shot regardless.

From a photo op my Son gladly started :D
He likes to pretend he is a model, and keeps changing poses as I capture him... No Flash. Fuji Neopan 400, slightly under exposed, in Rodinal 1:50 I think...
Contax G1/G-45mm f/2

Great effect here. They have an odd atmosphere. I like it. Any clues as to how wildly overexposed? Did you do anything to remove the "dye layer" for lack of a better word? Thanks!

These things shouldn't even exist, for real.
Although, they have been pretty heavily post processed on Photoshop.

I went out and shot these with my new Contax IIIa and a Sonnar 1.5.
I had never shot with the camera before, but had checked it out and it seemed to be metering properly. Turns out to have been a sticky needle.
However, once I got out on the street, my brain turned to mush as I read the meter. It showed 1/50 at f2, which is what I insanely set it at. Lol... I don't know what I was thinking. I was on auto-mode or something. That happens to me occasionally when I'm sort of "in the moment."
Anyway, every one of the shots shown in this car show set were taken at 1/50 @ f2 without a filter in afternoon shadow from buildings and/or full slanted sun. Crazy.
And no, I didn't pre-soak the asa 200 color film or do anything special. I was sloppy about it thinking it was gonna be a complete bust anyway.

I convinced myself to go ahead and develop the roll since I had just barely enough solution B of HC-110 already mixed that needed to either be used or tossed since it was looking pretty dark and old.

So I developed it for about 6 minutes and hung it to dry. At that point I could just barely see some image
showing. It looked underdeveloped, dense with too much silver still on the frames.

The fact that I was able to get any image at all really shows the amount of latitude possible in film. I don't think this would ever be possible using a digital camera at all.

So, after telling this little story of a fortuitous accident or serendipity, I'll post a couple more from the same roll. I don't claim these to be good in any way, but they are interesting and rather unique. Perhaps they are good as an example of what not to do. Lol :)

I'm just saying, It's really not necessary to spend a lot on those expensive Holga's and Lomo style toy cameras or cell Phones to get interesting artsy images. :rolleyes:
