Shots from my Yashica-D twin lens reflex medium format camera.
Enjoy. Feedback is welcomed.
No processing other than the signature and lightly enhancing the existing vignette. Also, its just the crappy digital contact sheet scan I got from the place that developed the negs. I plan on developing my own prints later on.
Still the crappy 5mb contact sheet scan. This one's got a heavier vignette and a bit of saturation added.
This one is the very first shot taken on the D since its been in my possession. Saturation added and a bit of color balancing on the reds and blues.
More to come!

Thanks! While that one is the same camera as mine its not actually the one I own. I'll take some pics of my entire collection asap. I pick em up all the time at estate and garage sales. The best is when they still have film in them. Tonight I'm sending a completed roll of 116 film from the late 1920's to a guy in MA for processing.

Will do. My goal is to get a gallery show by this time next year.

I like taking pictures with my film camera. I have a FM10 but developing my own is too costly and hazardous for my current residence. Maybe when I get a bigger place and preferably by myself, I will have my own dark room. Nice pictures btw. Those twin-lens cameras are a beaut!
Here is a very small sample of the over 600 rolls of "film" I shot. You know, those strange looking little rolls of something that you insert into the back of a camera. "Yes, kids, when I was your age you could open the camera back!" LOL
BTW: some of my 35mm film cameras have included the infamous Pentax K-1000, Fujica AX-5, Chinon CE-5, Canon Rebel 2000, Minolta Maxxum 7000i, and Nikon N-80. My first-ever digital was a Nikon D-70 that was stolen from my car!!! Now I use nothing but a cheap $120 Olympus FE-20 pocket sized 8MP digital. But let me tell you, I had a LOT of fun with film for 30 years!
In case you like cars other than Toyota...
Sorry, I had to put 2 shots of the white 65 Malibu SS. I just loved this car. After 30 years you can only guess just how many car pictures I have. Literally thousands! And only got around to scanning a few hundred. Dang that dreaded stuff they once called "FILM"... you had to scan the pictures! I know I'm not Hot Rod Magazine material, but hey, their guys have unlimited budgets for $10,000 top of the line Nikon digitals (actually most of the use Medium Format stuff like Mamiya or Lieca or Hasselblad). Give one of their photographers a Rebel 2000 or a CE-5 and see if they can still shoot good pictures! LOL!

UHHHH... Not sure what you're talking about. Is this thread not titled "Show & Share" and the previous posts were regarding film? Then where is the "Thread Jacking"?

Everything is cool. I don't consider it thread jacking. Eric posted up about what's happened to film, and hairball is just contributing to that theme and showing film isn't dead. I'm sure Eric won't mind. Now a group hug and we'll all move on....

hairball - The first photo classes I took in Jr High and HS (+/-20yrs ago) involved a lot of darkroom work (negs and prints) and as a result I've had a fully equipped darkroom since before I could drive. I didn't buy a DSLR until 2005 or 6 and when I bought it I also bought a Rebel Xs 35mm film body "just in case" and because it came with a clean 50mm prime.
I actually did a six year tour of duty at a high end portrait studio post college. Started out scanning 6x6 negs and digitally retouching the images. Within a year or two I convinced the owners to let me transition the studio to full digital and start printing in house. It was when I was testing/comparing various digi backs and pro DSLRs for the company that they realized I could shoot. Soon I began assisting and for the last three years I was out on my own jobs half the week and running the studio the other half.
I've been a vintage camera collector and digi hobbyist since about 05 and have been picking up random freelance projects (studio/product/catalog) since 06.
Back in Oct of this year my sister, who is a Photojournalism Grad student at Mizzou, bought me a Holga 120N for my bday. Within the month, in addition to blowing thru a ton of film, I purchased my Yashica-D TLR and rebuilt/converted (to 120) several TLRs already in my collection. Later in the month I purchased a few 35mm Yashica Electro 35 GSN rangefinders and a Soviet Lubitel 166B from the original Lomo factory in Leningrad. Finally, this morning I picked up an original waist level viewfinder for my late 60's Nikon F.
I currently have my eye on a 35mm Soviet Chaika-2M half frame camera from the Belomo factory in Belarus but after that I'm calling it quits on the purchasing for a while. lol.
The digis I own are a Canon 400D XTi and a Canon 1D MkII as well as a Nikon Coolpix Pn'S and a Canon PowerShot Pn'S.
I'll shoot thru the rest of my collection and post some pics of them asap.

Canon AE-1 is an awesome camera! But wanting a black body (on my camera, not my girlfriend) I opted for the Canon A1. It was a top of the line camera back in the 80's. It was the most expensive SLR that my local mall camera store sold besides Nikons. I had a wad of cash from my tax refund and was ready to buy the A1. It had ALL the features I was looking for: shutter AND aperture priority plus metered manual and full program, plus DOF preview.
BUT... the guy at the camera store, being an avid photographer himself, was able to talk me out of the A1. He could have made more money, but was looking to save me from future headaches and not lose me as a customer. He explained that even though my mind was made up about the A1, it was made of mostly plastic parts and wasn't able to handle being dropped. He swayed me over to the Fujica AX-5, which had ALL the same features of the A1. So I got it. It turned out to be defective!!! Fujica supposedly repaired it under warranty. But it was still defective! So, in the end I bought the Chinon CE-5 and LOVED IT!!! In fact, this was one of my all-time favorite SLR film cameras!
