Is the film processed yet? and is it colour or B/W? I only ask because I was just inspired to run through a couple of films this week, and I am trying out the ilford lab on the web. I think they only process balck and white, but it can be any brand of film; and there are options to just get the negs developed, or gets the negs and prints, or the negs and scans (at high resolution if desired - I think at least 3000 x 3000), or even negs, prints and scans... Not sure that it is the cheapest but at least it seems comprehensive (if you want black and white).

Their website is here:

Depending on the results I shall either run off a film or two every now and then, and bear the cost, or just put the camera back in the drawer

Don't know if that helps at all

EDIT: P.S I should point out that I haven't actually seen the results yet so I am not specifically endorsing.

More great shots - think this is the best set yet. he chip shop is very cool - I see what you mean about tight framing at the top and the bloke on the right but the two ladies are priceless!

Regards

Great set - like the others here I think the old lady steals the show! She has a fantastic stance and expression. On the greens, I think it looks good as is, but if you want to adjust them simply, I use PSE 8 and that has the option to just desaturate the greens (or any other colour for that matter) - just go to adjust colour... adjust hue/saturation, and then pick green from the drop down menu at the top of that dialogue box...

Top stuff

Nice shots - I especially like the Acacia with the bokeh in the background - the 50-135 is great for shots like this! Looks hot and sunny - after the cold snap here I can't wait for summer...

Regards

Beautiful! Love the sharpness and the black background. The eyes are magical. Top shots!

Great stuff Andrew. Captures the cold fantastically. I think the 3rd and 4th are my favourites. Love those patterns in the frozen puddle. Excellent stuff

Regards

Gosh, a couple of crackers I think. The third should be on a christmas card, love that low cloud creeping over the horizon, the snow against the still water, but the beautiful blue sky - excellent stuff. I like the first two as well -it looks exotic, like Iceland or something. Great stuff

Regards

Thanks for the comments everyone - and especially for the ideas for dealing with the top edge of picture 1, I think I shall have a go with an ND grad or try a sort of HDR approach from the RAW file... top ideas!

Gareth, I do have a landscape version of the pond too - just PP'ed this evening...




Thanks again everyone

Regards

I agree - a very nice set but i think number 1 is the peach for me. Great colours and composition and the sky in the background really sets it off as well. A cracker I think. Good stuff

Regards

Gosh - a cool room and a cool shot. It looks like something out of a sci fi film. Very clinical feel to it, and well exposed. I like it. Nice one

Regards
