Just got some more film developed from our trip to Melbourne in Dec, and here are a few results after some PP, including one conversion to sepia). Most shots were at 20 (which is true 20mm on the f90x , none of this 1.5x crop factor rubbish), on Ilford HP5.

C&C welcome



The same photo converted to sepia (interested in preferences):







cheers

#3 is just up to the framing list!! Blow up BIG and frame it!

No more need to worry about mega pixels and DPI

HP5... One of my favourite films!, and in this case seems well developed too with the grain well controlled. Home or lab development job?

Tick for #1, flick for #2. Sepia is overrated

#3 is the best shot of the group, perfect DOF fall off.

Thanks for the feedback Yip and Daniel - no 3 would be better now as Alicia (Mrs Reschsmooth) has a bigger pregnant belly

I think your comment about the sepia treatment is fair enough - the HP5 produces a good enough result in B&W without having to muck around converting to sepia.

(I just realised I didn't crop the 4th image after the straightening - and now I have brought your attention to it )

I think no. 3 is the winner here, although I find the blur in the background a tad destructive. I also like the sepia treatment in No.2.

Personally, I like sepia.

The sepia tratment here actually makes the shot look a bit like a colour neg! Quite strange.

No. 3 is good.

No. 4 looks like it should be good, but for some reason I just don't think it works.

The first image looks good, both in B&W and Sepia, but I think the sepia treatment is slightly better.

The third image, as popularly stated, is the real winner - great image and one that will be a great reminder of this time in your lives with the development of baby Rechsmooth Frame this one indeed!!

#4 - great perpsective and nice tone with the B&W!

Good stuff Pat!

Thanks for the feedback Geoff (and everyone else). I think I mentioned previously that no 3 would look even better now as the baby-Reschsmooth bump is noticably bigger than it was a little over a month ago in Melbourne

(BTW Daniel - the film was developed at a Fuji lab - I am still getting all the stuff and then experience at home development. Next then would be a neg scanner).
