Old faithful Tri-X

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I'm addicted to film. All week I was waiting for the weekend to come around so I could go shoot another roll. This time I decided to go for old faithful, Kodak Tri-X 400. Slowing down and spending more time to make sure I get things right pays off tenfold. Here are a few from the second roll.

I was standing in the middle of a snow shower waiting for this. Just thankful for the waist level viewfinder.

Hanging out with other photographers using the latest and greatest DSLRs with a mechanical film MF camera was fun. Pre-focussing and being patient was the key here.

They are definitely Tri-x. Very nice contrast.

I love three and wold love to see it printed at grade 1.5 paper. Are you processing the lm yourself?

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

FYI: the images aren't displaying in the post for me (but I can open them up individually in a separate tab).

I also like the last best - and I think the square format really suits this composition. Also like the first, not much fussed with the second.
