Some more images captured by old FED-2 last Saturday.
Would be great to know what do you think. Negative opinions welcome too :)

Bump ... BTW, was anyone there? I was trying to find familiar faces (or, at least, cameras :) ) in the crowd and haven't found any

Not sure abotu the first sculpture, but the others show some real flair... I like the last one, looks like a Triffid...

EDIT: oooops, forgot to say like the B&W treatment :)

I like the B & W treatment you've done on these (was it just the film or did you do more in PP). Images 2 and 4 are the standouts here. #1 is a little too tightly framed for me.

Mikhail - just goes to prove the quality of these old FED cameras in the hands of someone who knows them well :wink:

I agree with Peter on #1 but the rest are outstanding :D

Thanks a lot guys!

Peter, it's not B&W treatment, it is B&W film :) Kodak BW 400. It's the one that used standard C-41 process to develop it. I didn't adjust anything this time - just some strightening and cropping.

As it isn't SLR camera, vewfinder somtimes tricks you when you're trying to frame it very close. That's what happened to #1 and few other shots.

Another thing - it doesn't have light meter - I used Seconic 308S for incident light metering

These are really cool and its good to see some B&W film in use too, the crabs are really cute, but I really like the pyramid type structure.
