photos from week 77 - Finetta

The Black Cloud - diptych, a photo by pho-Tony on Flickr.

These are 2 consecutive frames from the Finetta There is uneven frame spacing throughout the film, sometimes there is a several millimetre gap, other times, as here, there is a slight overlap, which helps to make this pair come together.

I set the focus to around 5ft to catch the foreground letters, and selected a small aperture to ensure that there was a chance of getting some detail in the middle distance.

At 1/25 sec and f4, this indoor photo was considerably underexposed, but some correction in photoshop has rescued it.

Week 78 - Agfa Parat-I

Agfa Parat-I, a photo by pho-Tony on Flickr.

This is a half frame camera, taking 72 frames on a standard 36 exposure roll of 35mm film.
Made in 1963, it has a 30mm f2.8 lens and shutter speeds from 1/30 - 1/125.
I've loaded it with expired Ektachrome p1600 slide film, which I plan to cross process in C41 chemistry.

photo from week 76 - Franka Solida II

blue gun on a blue door, a photo by pho-Tony on Flickr.

This week's photos were a bit of a disappointment, but that shouldn't really come as a surprise, the film expired more than 30 years ago, and I have no idea what conditions it was stored in, It seems that the film has lost sensitivity over the years, I exposed it a box speed of ISO400, but it looks about 3 stops underexposed. I've done the best I can to salvage the images in post processing, and they have a certain charm, but technically they are a bit of a disaster.
