A Lil Xpro

Shot a expired (2002) roll of Fuji RDPIII chrome film and had it cross processed. I gotta say, I really like the quality of xpro the more and more I do it. For quite awhile I thought of it as a bit of an over stylized, gimmicky look. I did my share of cross processing 10+ years ago, but it was more for a editorial/commercial look and never with a Holga. So now, all these years later, I'm seeing xpro new again and liking the uniqueness that it contributes. I have a few other shots that I'll be posting soon that I used a 2.5 tele adapter on the lens which seemed to up the contrast, more on that later with a review.

Quick post, a few remaining images from Ojai from a few months back. Took a little while longer then I thought to finish off the roll....and to then get them posted.

Pinhole Charlie

Pinhole of our new pooch Charlie, he's a rescue, about 3 years old or so. Being in a safe place, he likes to sleep a lot.

This was first I've used my DIY pinhole camera kit in quite some time, probably 10 years I think. It's a basic cardboard box kit variety, uses medium format film and modified spools for advance knobs. Freestyle Photo carries it.

Roid Week Spring 2010

Just a quick post and slide show of my Roid Week shots. Had fun with it, this was the first time I participated. Managed to use 5 different Polaroid cameras, 2 SX-70 Sonars, 340 & 450 cameras and a Spectra SE. Films shot: ATZ, Chocolate, PX100 FF, Spectra Platinum, Silk 125i and Fuji 3000B. Next time I may stick with one format instead. It was great to see so much other great Polaroid imagery in the flickr roidweek2010 pool, really inspiring stuff. Should definitely check it out.
