Roadtrip- continued..

James Ruff — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:55:39 +0000

so i have really slacked off lately, and only just started scanning some more film today from my trip, STILL have a few rolls to be developed…
but on a positive note, i have started developing my own C-41, using a Jobo CPE2 and Jobo press kit. it was a lot easier than i first thought.

i am actually quite amazed at how sharp these photos are. these Mamiya lenses, 50mm f4 C and 90mm f3.8 are actually amazing.

photo time!

still some more to come, so hold tight for the next lot!

Fuji Reala

James Ruff — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:05:56 +0000

i seriously underrated this film.
very sharp, very fine grain, and quite a large dynamic range with very accurate colours!
not bad for a consumer grade film..

recent additions.

James Ruff — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 09:55:48 +0000

recently i have picked up a few new cameras.
first was a Pentax 645 then came a Olympus XA2 ( and i think i have just bought a 6×17 MF camera… )
i have a few photos from both of those cameras, as well as some from my Hasselblad and Pentax LX.
i am very happy both!

Prints!

James Ruff — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:27:51 +0000

i don’t know if anyone’s interested, but i have recently bought an Epson Stylus Photo R2880 inkjet printer, so i can start making prints for sale.

so if there’s any photos here that you’re interested in i can do A4/8″x10″ prints. i’ll be looking at about AU$20 posted worldwide. i may also do A3 at AU$40 each.

alternatively, if you have your own photos you want printed, i will do for the same cost.

Inverloch

James Ruff — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 08:28:33 +0000

i saw someones photo of cliffs and rock formations at Inverloch, and wondered why i hadnt been there before, since big cliffs and rocks are very much my thing.
i got pretty excited by what i saw, shot a bunch of photos, but had a few issues with development.
i nearly always have issues when loading 4×5 sheets onto my MOD54 holder, i think i need a bigger changing bag, as when loading six sheets there is always 1 or 2 sheets stuck together.
however not all was lost, and only the corners were affected. Shanghai film is also quite soft and scratches easily.

Port Albert & Port Welshpool

James Ruff — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 07:52:56 +0000

a few weeks ago i spent a day down by the coast at some local ports.
the day started off a bit overcast while i was at Port Albert, and i shot a roll of Kodak Ektar, but later in the day the sun shone through, and i went to Port Welshpool and shot a roll of Kodak E100s.
both rolls were shot with a Hasselblad 500CM and 50mm Distagon T* lens.
