Your favourite photo(s) you took with a TLR

I did. I lived in the 14th, across the street from the Parc Montsouris, for four months (I was extremely fortunate, and got funded for an academic event). Hopefully I'll get a chance to live in the city again.

Both of these photos are great! As already mentioned could have made an awesome retro shot if not for the cell phone. Even so, it has a great look and quality to it! Love the first as well. The tones and lighting are very nice.

Thanks! Yeah, I remember hearing a famous photographer (who's name I currently forget) explaining that he actively looked to crop out modern technology/architecture in his portraits and reportage, in order to give his photos a more timeless feel. Quite good advice actually.

First shot is neopan 400 which I developed myself in HC-110 dilution B for 5 mins, and yeah, I was really pleased with how the tones came out!
 
Here is mine from when I used to own a Rolleiflex 2.8C with Xenotar and a close up lens set:

Taken with my (long gone) Seagull 4B-I, Ektachrome 64; I just had planned to shoot the stairs when I heard the childrens voices. The shot made my day.

Todd: The Lavender wheel is a hoot. where was that?

The car is, well, an "art" car. We have 26 of them here in Bisbee. Rather too many for a town of 6500.

The lavender wheel is a result of cross processing slide film 😉

The art car belongs to a lady here in town, we have an active art car community...we even have an art car museum 😉

thanks,
Todd

Thanks Ted. You can say that they're bulky, clunky & ugly - but they still take decent pictures. 😉
 
Indeed. They are all of that, but it's the photograph that counts.
