Aly,
You are always quick to the draw.:)
Where are the group hugs?!

wow! no typhoon could stop you guys!
was it a strictly-no-digital-camera eb?
i regret to have missed this one. duty call.

Sir Aly and to other organizers, pls accept my appologies for not able to come. I live in Malabon and it's very hard to get out of here specially if its raining hard, I was planning to catch up and be late. however, I don't have any contact number of any of the other participants except for Jed Llamas, which didn't make it as well. I'm sure you guys had a great day. I feel so guilty for not comming :( hope to see the other guys post thier shots soon! SOBRANG NKAKA INGGIT! (trans: Damn rain!)

Aly,

That roll is with Miguel for scanning.

As they say, the early bird, gets the early worm! Wonder what that other guy beneath the lights is doing......hmmmmm,.....:Thinking:

:D ...only in the Philippines.... early morning and on a historic bridge at that!

We should have another filmEB-cum-Ongpin-food-trip! I missed the kwentuhan yesterday! What with so many legendary Nikons on display! I spotted the venerable F2, the minimalist FM2, the revolutionary F3 (the D3 of it's day), the F100, and the F5! I'm so bad with names but I remember the faces attached to each one of them Nikons! :)

Spectators and those who missed the EB - dead worm.

Im bad with names too but i think I remember Anton Lorenzo with an F2 and Ricky L. with an F3...then of course Jun Rapanan with a very old nikon (sorry cant remember the model..he he)

Hi Jerry,


I second the motion re: the food trip, I did get to spot a few early and still nice models of Pentax, minolta, and other 'panas' but then again, I find the 'indians' more interesting!:D

a bridge ornament on Jones Bridge with the Post Office as its back drop. I square cropped this one to get that 120 size feel. Inggit kasi ako sa Mamiya ni Ricky na gamit ni Red (translation: Pahiram naman!!!):Scared:

Doh, sorry! My mistake!

Nice one Aly, was SAVORY open? I didn't notice, tho I passed by a few hours later with Cez and Mitz. We could have tried their buttered chicken and Bihon Guisado! Sayang. Next time!

It was still closed at the time we were there. We ended up in Tropical Hut for our breakfast.

Thanks, Donna!! Btw, do you know you're very much part of this Indian-Pana Challenge? Didn't Cez tell you that you are one of the judges? Most probably we will put up a multiply account for the entries and you select your favorites. :Shock::Dum::)

Aly - any more pictures you can post?

Ahh.. so that was Jun -- he had the F2 with him. THE Nikon that created many legends during the Vietnam era.

Sige, let's do it on a Saturday again. This time, kwentuhan and food-tripping. Let's start with early dimsum, then mid-morning noodles, then Savory chicken, then..

The rules are:

a. bring your vintage
b. share a bowl with 2 others (so there's room for more)
c. be early so we end early and have time for the rest of the family back in the teepee

Please post more photos. I am getting homesick!

Aly Bilis mo talaga! Another Extremely Rainy Day with the guys!

you are right Miguel, that is Mamiya RB67 I borrowed from Master Ricky!

SARAP ng FILM! hehe...

Jerry, Im in! shooting and eating...! when when?

nice to see new faces on that shooting day! Ang daming addict sa photography! It was raining cats and dogs and still 30 participants went on! turns out a great day of shooting! :)

rey took us to a dimsum resto on soler st-one of the best damn dimsum i ever had and and i've been to many of them here and elsewhere. best part is, you can stuff yourself silly for cheap! food EB na lang! kalimutan muna ang photography for a day... except group hug!

Jerry-Basil - Im on fo rthe food eb....we can do food shoot naman right?? hehe just say the date..

Lesson learned..

27 exposures are more than enough! hehehehe!

great EB guys! =)

@Tok - but did you have 2 disposable cameras?? he he :)

Post more photos guys!!:Grin:

@Pilar - all the shots were taken with film and i have all the disposable cameras. will process them tomorrow so the posting should start monday ... :)

Ya, Rey kept on talking about that resto...whats the name?? (so we know when we go back where to eat) he he

I think its the T-max of Kodak, since it does not require special processing. Yup Fuji Alabang@ATC. Yup that's Carlos Celdran. Remember we were together when i took this.:)

This is a beaut, Derick!!! Great FILM shot!!!

Thanks Aly, I really wanted to shoot it from the bottom up but I was scared, i'd blow-out the skies, and besides, the horse might kick me.:Grin:

ang sarap ng kwentuhan namin over a very good lunch!!!

basil, joel, pat, nixer, brando, .....naku, kakahiya, nakalimutan na ang names! hirap talaga nitong tumatanda!

it was quite a walk and it was very wet, but at the end, it was worth it!

one of the best part...... pinakilala kami ni master basil sa mga tropa niya sa hidalgo :)

im game if we have another EB sa binondo.......... tama, food shoot na lang! tapos side-trip sa hidalgo!

THANKS folks! another great day to remember!

.....naku, kakahiya, nakalimutan na ang names! hirap talaga nitong tumatanda!



Rey, next time I'll print a bigger ID!!! I thought a font size 34 for the names would suffice!! nyahahaha....:Scared::Dum::D

Did anyone mention food? I'm in.:)

Had a great time despite the rain. Can't wait for part2. But can't wait to see the photos for this EB as well. The travails of film....(patience and more patience).

And that is the beauty of it:Grin:

aly,

your font size is fine.

.....it's my memory that needs an UPGRADE!!!! :Dum:


Rey, next time I'll print a bigger ID!!! I thought a font size 34 for the names would suffice!! nyahahaha....:Scared::Dum::D

Lesson learned..

great EB guys! =)

hey tok,

i think we've permanently scarred joel for life. he was hyperventilating, shaking like a leaf, mumbling to himself and had goosebumps on his goosebumps the whole time. he said it's criminal to give him a 27-exposure disposable when he's used to shooting at 50 frames per minute. he dutifully glanced at the back of his plastic film camera every time he made an exposure just to confirm that he got the shot. he only calmed down when we assured him he's getting 10 orders of dimsum and a yang chow fried rice. poor kid, he's seeing a shrink on monday..

Aly,
You are always quick to the draw.:)
Where are the group hugs?!

He never ceases to amaze me... lightning fast in both digital and film! talk about efficient! :Grin:

27 Exposures are my all time low shots in an EB....:D

My eyes are seeing a lot of interesting images...but i knew i need to reserve my shots...i told myself phasing joel...parang boxing...if i throw all my punches and power on first round...how can i survived the other rounds...:D

-I told Sir Basil..where are the holduppers??? you could get my plastic camera if you want??:)

- Its a good thing after this film EB, i could go back with my DSLR! Whew!! I survived the 1 roll film EB:D

-I recall what Sir Basil told me...i dont want to go back in FILM again...:D

-Rey took a mirror group shot of us...after that he said "tingnan ko nga kung maganda yung exposure? parang titingnan yung LCD..ang nakita namin...empty black (back of the film cam) the we realize shit! Film nga pala ito...wlang LCD monitor!:D:Grin:

@Joel... just look at it this way... your LCD is busted and you are shooting RAW on a 8mp camera with a 256mb CF card! :D

Hehehehe! Film Rocks!!!!

Guys....you guys just got me inspired to try out film....haven't done it yet...gonna go out today or tomorrow to check some 2nd hand nikon film cameras...any suggestion?...i loved the Contrast,grainy, dimensional feel to it...wala nang PP!..ahaha

nice shot patrick,, normally it would take me a couple of shots to get that candle shot,, and you did it eventhough you are limited to only one roll of film to whole eb,, galing:D

Thanks Darryl! I actually had another roll of film the Miguel so graciously gave to those who brought their own film cameras, but it was my first time to get Kodak Portra film and I'm saving it for whatever special occasion that may come up, hehe.

And the suspense of waiting for the pics to develop... wondering if any came out at all :D

@Derick... paglaki ko hahanap din ako ng Leica lens para sa Nikon F2 ko, kahit na 35mm Summilux 1.4!!! yun eh kung lalaki pa ako!!! :D

Ganda ng B&W's mo!

@Aly... wala kang katulad!!!:)

tito paeng, bat di mo sinabi?

Sorry guys! I confirmed for this, but I wasn't able to come. My flight back to Manila got delayed and only got home saturday nite. :(

Can I just pay for the fees for the film and the disposable camera that was already bought? :)

i really like this one sir aly,, what i like about film is it has a a certain quality to it,, did you use sir vecin's disposable camera??

Thanks Darryl! I used my EOS 300 with a Fuji Pro Plus 100 film for that one. All the disposable camera shots will be posted a week from now after the judging has been made.

Patrick, I like the colors indeed!!!

''Film by its very physical nature is layers of grains of different colors,'' ''It's hard to describe, but it does actually have a micro three-dimensionality that you can see in that weird way.''

''digital pictures look very flat, and even the prints. ... Digital looks literally cut-and-pasted.

@Aly... wala kang katulad!!!:)

Ricky, ang sagot ng misis ko, "THANK GOD!!!":Scared:

Aly, you knew first trip out was after eating.......next time, bring your own car!! :Angry::Angry::Angry:

The Golden Fortune Dimsum Cabal from L-R, Rey, Joel, Patrick, Ken, Basil, Brando, Nixzer.

Hey Patrick nice meeting you...also Rey, Joel,Ken,Brando and Basil nice meeting you guys again...Had a lot of words of wisdom from Basil, glad i joined you guys for lunch...and of course the short trip to Hidalgo with Rey,Basil and Patrick...Haha got a discounted price on a 5 in 1 reflector, thanks Basil :)

Here's the beauty of film.

I used a light meter to get a reading of the mother and daughter. Then estimated their distance based on reading indicated in the lens and meter settings. Using the hyper-focal technique, film brought out two contrasting tones, maintaining details on both with having to blow-out or under-expose either of my subjects.

If I had used the in camera metering, it would have given me extreme readings depending on which subject I focused on.

Yes, Derick, but I didn't know our lunch will be at 9:30am!!!!!:RedEye:

Oh yes! Would you believe that what I ate lasted me till dinner?!?!:RedEye: Kasi.......I'd put the blame on Cez, Mitz etal.......they were the first to break protocol! :Grin: Di ba walang iwanan!:D:D:D (sa kainan:Scared:)

After Rey, Miguel and myself checked out Binondo church coming from Eng Bee Tin cafe, we were surprised that you and your cohorts were already eating!!!:Angry::Angry:

Now, who started lunch at 9:30am?:Scared:

Basta we have to go back there just for the food... :)

Cez, Teddy and i were just having breakfast when you smelled us :Dum:.. Who said that was a lunch? :Grin:.

Life in Chinatown as I know it..

6am : Pandesal sawsaw sa coffee, breakfast 1 of 2 para di mabigla ang tiyan

9am : Lugaw or noodles - breakfast proper, kasi nabitin yung tiyan

12nn : Pick on ulam laid on table habang maiinit, pre-lunch light version, kasi busy pa sa tindahan

1:30pm : Finish the now-cold lunch, finally wala nang customer sa tindahan

3:30pm : Mishua-ko or O-a-chian (oyster in scrambled egg batter) Snack, dapat 3pm, kaso busog pa dahil sa 1:30 lunch

6pm : advanced light dinner, dumami nanaman ang customer

9pm : final dinner, after getting home from work (travel from 1st floor to 3rd floor)

12mn : light dimsum midnight snack, after finishing Drunken Master (HD Digital Remake AC.5.1)

:D :D :D

WOW - can we have an EB just like that?? we can be OJT in any f the Hidalgo stores?? hehehe or maybe we can work in Rey's moms hardware fro a day?? :)

Thats exactly what I was going to say - that looked like breakfast to me, more than lunch :)

Although we had a heavy breakfast in Tropical hut...

Cez, Teddy and i were just having breakfast when you smelled us :Dum:.. Who said that was a lunch? :Grin:.

Jerry, Im in! hehehe

Derick, pahiram ng XPAN mo..hehe....

mahal masyado film ng mamiya e ..

@Darryl... bakit di ka kasi sumama, you missed the excitement of using film... instamatic!!!


family time muna sir reke,, since one week lang parents ko sakin:D

Cez, Teddy and i were just having breakfast when you smelled us :Dum:.. Who said that was a lunch? :Grin:.

Mitz, if that was breakfast, lunch must have resembled a Fiesta!:Grin::Grin:

This image is another output which makes me want to shoot film. I have not done this in a while, but see the complextion of Miguel, Aly, and Martin. Various shades of the Zone.....if the on-cam focused on Miguel's complextion, mas negro na si Aly; inversely, if the on-cam focuses on Aly, "high-key" na si miguel. (hyperfocal technique) Added to that, see the smoothness of the images..........FILM RULES!!!:)

While ''digital is here to stay,'' Usher expects film's fortunes will
someday brighten once more.

'Film by its very physical nature is layers of grains of different
colors,'' he said. ''It's hard to describe, but it does actually have a
micro three-dimensionality that you can see in that weird way.''

''In fact, now that the honeymoon and the infatuation is starting to run its
course,'' he said, ''I think that in the next five years you're going to see
almost a retro backlash because of the things that film gives you that you
can't get with digital.''

Sige, let's have a Chinatown food trip EB. We'll eat every 2hrs and share an order and eat like the Emperors of China - eat just for the taste of it, so one-chopstick-full per person! :)

Just do not bring that giant pair of wooden spoon-and-fork set hanging in your sala and pass it off as chopsticks! :D

@Derick, yep! Looks like Miguel is Zone 8, Aly is Zone 5 and Martin is probably a Zone 4! :D

This is one EB i wish I can come home to. It's good to see some digital photographers shooting with film and capturing that palette that digital can never capture. Would love to see some more photos!

@ Aly - I love the outrigger shot by the bridge. The subdued colors just bring out a nostalgic feel to it.

@Derick, yep! Looks like Miguel is Zone 8, Aly is Zone 5 and Martin is probably a Zone 4! :D

Keen sense from the MASTER! (he called the zones buy one look at it!) :Grin:We are not worthy, we are not worthy (sabay bow!):)

(translation: Too bad, you guys missed this!! Mike Dougan WRU??:D)

@Derick, yep! Looks like Miguel is Zone 8, Aly is Zone 5 and Martin is probably a Zone 4! :D

Look at Aly's head as opposed to the blurd image at the back (bldg), that's the 3-dimentionality the film gives......must be the natural grain of film, as opposed to post processing grain that you add when processing a digital image.:)

Aly Bilis mo talaga! Another Extremely Rainy Day with the guys!

you are right Miguel, that is Mamiya RB67 I borrowed from Master Ricky!

SARAP ng FILM! hehe...

medium format po ba yung camera?

Oh yes! Would you believe that what I ate lasted me till dinner?!?!:RedEye: Kasi.......I'd put the blame on Cez, Mitz etal.......they were the first to break protocol! :Grin: Di ba walang iwanan!:D:D:D (sa kainan:Scared:)

Derick, I only had the Almond Jelly Shake that Jerry treated me at 9:30 because I thought we were still having lunch!!!! :Angry:

I ended up eating a slammer mini burger at ATC while waiting for my film to be scanned. :(

Basta we have to go back there just for the food... :)

1.2 megapixel lang ang film camera ni aly! sasabog na!

At least for this, crop mo, increase dpi to 350, hence increase size..........its a good shot, cant see the faces.:):D:Grin::Angry::(:Mad::Sick::Oops: <--------parang ganito

Oo nga... kung alam ko lang na ganyan ang framing ni aly, sa harapan na sana ako pumuwesto!!!
(trans: my hiding is not effective in this kind of framing!:D)

Pambihira talaga si Aly, nag film lang, nakalimutan ng mag-zoom......:):):)
(translation: EXCITED kasi!)

@Derick

Nasanay lang si Aly sa 1.6FOV na viewfinder... now he finds the film cam has bigger viewfinder so he tends to compensate!:D

OO nga, FULL FRAME NA NGA PALA ANG FILM CAMERA KO WITH A 17mm WIDE LENS!!! (Translation: Oops!!).

While Aly's working on that "blow-up" here's the cute little vendor who sold me a Black Nazarene medalion. You'll a lot of her pictures in the p&s contest. Melai finish half her load on this little lady.:)

Exactly! I didn't consider that as lunch, that was just say...ah ...a mini-breakfast...... was wondering nga why we went home so soon! The dimsum from other restaurants were calling me.....eat me...eat me...but shoot me first!:Grin:


Thats exactly what I was going to say - that looked like breakfast to me, more than lunch :)

Ur right! That somehow resembles what a typical workday for us would go when I was still at State Center.....miss that....

Thank you for the kind words, sir! The EOS 66 definitely helped though, it's a pretty straight forward film SLR to use.

I would just like to confirm if there's another one this Saturday? A little birdy told me that another shoot is in the planning stage? :)

Hi Derick,
Hoping to finally meet you on Saturday. As for Teddy, I'm not sure if you're asking a serious question because of all the smileys. :) Treating it seriously, if Teddy is a Baltasar with an "s", yes, we're related. If it's Baltazar with a "z", I'm not so sure because it was my great-grandfather changed it to "s".

Meeee aaaaand MISSIS, missis JOOOONES, missis-Jones-missis-JOHOOOWNS! Great black and whites, m'man!

They better post soon. I'm running out of things to post!!!! :)

Oh Man Wiston you crack me UP!!! I was referring to the "sio-mai " remark!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

Aly,
I think this should read sad state of today(Sorry it's the pessimist in me). Nice capture.

Finally! The negs and contact print are with me already. Now I have no idea how to "digitize" my photos. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys!

Hi anton, any Fuji lab can scan that for you. Looking forward on seeing those digitized photos :)

Thanks Ari! I just found out that Island Photo does as well. But is 72 ppi the standard resolution?

Hi anton, any Fuji lab can scan that for you. Looking forward on seeing those digitized photos :)

After a long wait, I finally had my negs scanned and here are the pics from that beautiful day in Manila.

Hi Miguel- How can we get the cd? please advise. thanks.

@ Anton - are those scratches on your negative?

after the judges have seen the pics na..wait na lang for instructions thanks

It might be my camera. I haven't scrutinized my negs yet. I will try to print straight from the negative and see if the scratches are still there.

Thanks Sir.:)

Hi Anton- I could feel this one! Capturing the emotions also nice composition.. the scratches is ok..bagay sa film BW authentic scratches. = )

MIguel, I just checked my negatives. Those are scratches.

They look like scratches. I heard kasi that some people were not happy with Studio 58 processing and some people complained about scratched negatives...

Thank you Joel. I still need to check everything. It might be my camara scratching the film.

Here are some more pics. I might as well post all the photos that I chose.

You might be right. I did not check the negatives before I left. Can digiprint process Tri X film?

They look like scratches. I heard kasi that some people were not happy with Studio 58 processing and some people complained about scratched negatives...

Thank you Joel. I still need to check everything. It might be my camara scratching the film.
The scratches in your photos aren't consistent with the camera scratching the film. Film back scratches usually appear continuously along a roll of film. It's either the film processing or scanning. If you have a film scanner you can rescan these with Digital ICE (dust and scratch removal) turned on to get rid of the scratches.

Thanks Bernard. I don't have a film scanner, I just have it done at commercial labs. I will try other labs with my remaining roll of Tri X and see if the scratches persist.

hi anton, DPI studio in ortigas has Digital ICE scanners. you may want to try them :D

Oh yeah! I forgot about DPI. Thanks Paeng

Anton, I like your set!!! The nostalgia of film with the scratches still is ok for my taste. Bravo!!:)

Great set there Anton! =)

you can't capture that kind of tone on a digital camera and convert it to b/w.. plus the grain! =D real nice! =)
