Nice set Peter.
Mmm an lx.
No must resist.

Keep your eyes peeled on ebay. I picked mine up for £225 including a m 50mm f4 macro, which I then sold for £75.

Did you expose the negative for the shadows which is the opposite what you'd normally do with reversal photography, be that slides or digital?

i exposed for the figure (shadow ) but with -1 stop compensation if I remember.

Great use of your new 'toy'! Was the film home processed?

No Andy, my darkroom days are long gone. i sent it to Ilford who process and scan. They send a download link for the files which are 4547*3047 pixels.

i was very happy with the LX, it certainly is not showing its age, except for when pressing the shutter button i had to keep still for a second or two until the mirror decided to move (LX sticky mirror syndrome).

Next one to try is my recently purchased Super-A !

My only encounter with a farm fertilizer bag was in my car when an empty one was blown across the M40 in high winds. I could not avoid it and we met at 70 mph (honestly officer). Cost me best part of 800 quid to repair the bonnet.

Thanks john, more detail in the sky helps for sure, and you have brought out more detail in the sculpture, but that has introduced lack of contrast and the grain is more prominent.

I will have another go when I get time. This is my first go at digitally editing a b+w scan, I shall google some tips.

I think you have captured them well, not easy with the bright sky behind.

Hope your neighbour doesn't light the fire !

Thanks for the comments. I have upped the contrast for the first.... better I think ?

I bought a LX last month and these are some of the the first shots with it, using either the Pentax M 28mm/3.5 or 120mm/2.8
