Figured I should post something once in awhile.
Probably Kodak BW400CN before i set up the darkroom stuff.

Sexy Sexy. Who wears short shorts? :)
Jokes aside the picture really does capture the feel of the moment. I'd like to think that they are going on with the day, typical rainy weather or no, in a show of British fortitude rather than quickly packing up to flee to dryer places.

That's actually my biggest annoyance with all the film I have gotten back to vs digital, I either have to keep my pocket notebook and record everything for every shot (especially exposure) which is a time consuming hassle or else I won't have a clue when something is totally messed up exactly what I did wrong.
EXIF is one of the few things I actually like about my DSLR over the old film cameras.

So is nobody using any sort of filters (specifically color filters) or are they just not listing them in the info? That almost has more of an effect than film type in the final appearance in many cases.

Sounds like how I make box macaroni and cheese. :)
I love that you can even DO things like this with film, with the DSLR I would get a row of blown out white bars in a field of blackness no matter how I exposed.
This is why I have a darkroom.

I also love when silhouettes really work well as in Aurele's.
And I don't care if they only held 1 frame and had to be wheeled around on a cart, EVERYTHING looks great in medium format, something about a massive sharp image just makes stuff work. Course it helps when its a good image that actually has a lot of detail in it.
I'm really glad I bought the Beseler 23 series instead of the 45 series enlarger since its about the only thing preventing me from buying a used 645 for B&W work which I can't afford to even consider.

Yes you can tell when Tuco is cheating horribly on us poor 35mm shooters. That 4x5 could make a snapshot of his breakfast look like a masterpiece, though this particular shot would stand on its own merit even if it were taken from a toy camera.

I'm going to go ahead and say that if all us morons are getting showed up by children perhaps we are thinking too hard when we shoot.
The dog is perfect.

Ya know I really like BW400CN, were it not for the darkroom getting set up I would still be using it. I wonder if the thread in the 645 forum about Kodak 100% ditching film (looking to sell the whole division) soon is true.

There are potential buyers but no cash exchanged yet. The whole train would need a very expensive restoration, but its complete and essentially functional (they are using one of the engines to shift it around for crane loading). Its sitting on an isolated bit of rail and getting moved by truck down the road through town to the nearest live rail spur. Quite a bit more to the story, just look up Minnesota Zephyr on google. I'm leaving right now to take pictures of them loading the 230,000 pound locomotives onto trucks, then I'll have to be up at like 3am if I want shots of them going through town.

Minnesota Zephyr, getting hauled away at present so no more pics like this ever again. I think its the way the blue paint on the nose faded to a slightly pale metallic that gave it the odd HDR sorta look.
An old truck/sign for Cassanova.
I blew the lighting on the landscape orientation version so I had to crop this from the portrait one. And yes its crooked but no its not fixable, the sidewalk is a hill with a slope (car is facing downhill) and the windows don't agree with the roof line or the sign as to what level is so something is always off.

Just another from my K1000 with the Kodak BW400CN, darkroom still isn't fully put together yet.

Actually I rather like some of the 1024 wide images (max width for this site as i recall) since its hard to appreciate a postage stamp, I'm not sure how the pics are wider when you click on them (which is nice too for detail) but they are showing up less wide to me (just 1024 I guess) on this thread.
And please remember to post what camera and film you used, some of these really make me curious.

If this isn't perfect its because it wasn't posed, just a candid shot, and I didn't really have time to double check stuff since its a full manual camera and I had to get the exposure and focus set fast. If I had gotten any farther out in front I think she would have seen me, she was so lost in thought watching a sunset that she luckily didn't notice. She was twice as attractive when I actually went up and talked to her after I took it.
This was from my K1000 SE with a roll of Kodak C41 BW400 developed by Target for 99 cents a roll, and all dumped on a cd for an additional $2.49. Seems to have come out rather well for all that actually. I'm burning film alot more lately since they are dumping film processing later this year and then I'll be on craigslist for a darkroom.

Dug the 3 roll package out of the trash, its Kodak Professional BW400CN its what they sell at Walgreens and the only non mail order B&W film available to me until I get a darkroom and can use other than C41 stuff. I'm happy enough with it, the quality is great for an image that was scanned from film and then shrunk in both dimensions and file size so it could be posted here.
And I rather liked the footprints myself, that shot was almost from the hip (barely had time to raise the camera and focus) and I was totally certain it was a lost cause until I looked at it, its aimed a bit high but they were really moving and ducks don't warn you when they decide to run, I had to stand up and jump forward to shoot over the railing I was hiding behind (visible in 1st photo) so I didn't exactly have a plan for the shot. I was just lucky I remembered to advance the film and the exposure was already set right from the previous shot.
All 3 of those were with the A35-105 F3.5 btw.

Horray, I finally have something genuinely B&W film. This is just that Kodak C41 400 (forget what they call it) developed and scanned to CD by Target (for a total of 99 cents for developing and 2.49 for scanning full roll.) This is uncropped unedited though I shrunk these and dropped the quality a bit so it could be posted here, otherwise they do ok on scanning. I used my new (old) freshly CLA'd Brown bodied K1000 SE I was so thrilled to get, looks like they got it right when they redid it.
Dunno what these funny colored ducks were (they seem to be made for B&W film) but a stupid jogger scared them off after I snuck up on them and I had to do a quick half assed focus and shoot of them running off.

With the way that the light beams from the stage lights are clearly showing up and the graininess from the high ISO my first impression was that someone had set off a fire suppression system mid performance. :)
Definitely does capture the atmosphere of the place.

Ok, I normally try to avoid getting philosophical about photos, but I rather love the new vs old that the choice of B&W film plus the content in Bassets photo make. The person in the photo and the scene in general when taken with B&W on film look right out of the 70's but then you notice the new computer under his arm and what looks like an import car with a body kit on the far right, not to mention the obvious newer Honda driving by, and the effect is totally baffling to my brain. Its like someone took an old street scene and PP'd in the cars and the computer.
EDIT: Everything in this thread is amazing, with my Super Program heading off to Eric and the K1000 not actually here yet i'm near to foaming at the mouth to get something I can use B&W in again. I do have a ZX-7 body here, but B&W in that thing would be like swearing in church or something, its just too plastic for that.
