Your daily(ish) evening film photo.

Three pines - These three gorgeous pines were situated near an abandoned cortijo, absolutely dwarfing the olive trees! I'll post a few photos of the cortijo starting tomorrow.

Camera: Horseman VH-R
Film: Ilford FP4 Plus 125
Developer: Rodinal
Film ISO: 125 | Shutter speed: 0.008" | Aperture: f16

@heikofotografiert Thank you ever so much. A positive reaction like that means so much to me.

@tapasinthesun Same with me here. A pretty short comment is more worth than 100 'Likes'. 😉

@tapasinthesun This is a super composition and I could tell the Rodinal before I had seen the description...love the halo.

@bosak Thank you! That was the Tokyo Kogaku Super Topcor 1:7 65mm lens. I had to check the exif data as I do change lenses a lot! I haven't been able to extract the lens info on Mastodon, which is a shame.

@tapasinthesun
How do you get exif data from the Horseman?

@bosak I record all the data (camera, lens, film, shutter speed, aperture, notes, etc) using an app, and then write it to the scanned images using ExifTool.

@tapasinthesun @bosak Same with me here: 'Standard' exif information (scanner model, used drivers, color & profile settings) are inserted to exif-data of the generated raw/tif-files by #VueScanPro, all other things (camera, lens, film, exposure and, and, and... ) I edit manually by use of exiftool (digiKam 8.0 as a gui/editor for doing that).

For me it works...

@tapasinthesun
I love pines and this shot is just epic. 😍😍😍

@tapasinthesun this is the combination I'm looking at for sunny nature and landscapes while trail running. FP4 to get my aperture open, and Rodinal because that's what I used 30 years ago 😀

@grechaw My favourite films are FP4 and Delta. You can't go wrong with either. FP4 and Rodinal are a good combination. I don't think I have used Delta with Rodinal.

If you nail the exposure and the development, then the images come out pretty well without any need for major post-processing.

To scan the negative I use a mirrorless or DSLR camera. Then just set the black-and-white points and maybe a light tweak of the contrast and brightness.

To record the geolocation I use a phone app
