Hi Folks.
I have not been shooting much of late, but when I have been shooting, my weapon of choice has been my Canon AE-1 with a single lens. The FD28. I just got some rolls back from CVS...These are from a street walk in the jewelry district in DT LA with UltraMax 400


The Mennonites where out in force. These folks have to be some of the nicest most docile people in the world.

Here is one doing her thing. Passing out tracts and cd's with their music

A shame that lots of it ended up in the trash...a true shame..

More UltraMax 400 Street shots with the FD28 on the AE-1...Going for more of a candid style.

This was the very first thread I looked at when I found this site as a visitor - what great photos.

Interested to see you used a Canon AE-1. I inherited a Canon A-1 which I have never used but it is all set up and ready to go. Having used only digital there is something quite scary about taking photos and not being able to see them before they are developed! Looking at your photos, I definitely need to try my film camera out. Thanks for the inspiration :thumbup:

this is like the Javier personal portfolio in here! i'll throw a few into the mix.

Nice - I really like the first and last photo :thumbup:

Javier is the one who started this thread! He could have kept it his, but generously encouraged it become an impromptu theme thread.

This one of yours has a Norman Rockwell feel to it. And I do mean Norman, not Ken. The tones are marvelous and catching the young mom speaking is wonderful.

Hi Folks. The more folks that contribute, the better
More from the Canon AE-1, FD28 and UltraMax 400

Javier, the photo titled "Jewels" looks like it might have been tone mapped or processed in hdr. Had you processed it that way, or is it just a phenomenon of my monitor?

Thanks John, I did nothing to the images other that some slight cropping and adding my water mark to them in LR3.
Really the secret if it is a secret, is to over expose the UltraMax by 1 stop ( I shoot 400 and 200 speed) and it really brightens up the image. The film is so forgiving, that it does not blow out the highlights. I am convinced that is it. I had thought it was scanned in vibrant mode from CVS, but after much trial and error, it is all about exposer.
