Color photo of a large maple tree in full orange Fall colors with the evening sun setting the whole tree on fire. The colors are a bit muted/dreamy due to it being a film photo scanned on a not very sharp scanner.

A San Francisco street car #107 from Market to Castro is white on top, baby blue on the bottom, and an orange stripe through the middle is stopped at an intersection. There are a few pedestrians on either side of the street looking at their phones.

I really wanted to frame someone being watched by the sloth and the owl as they passed by. The motion blur was a necessity given the ambient light but I quite like the effect. I wish I had stopped down further to get a sharper image.

A person is captured mid-stride with motion blur in front of a wall with several panels of art, the man is between a painting of a sloth holding three baby sloths and another of an own both very colorful. The orientation of the painting and the position of the person makes it appear as if the the creature are looking at the passer by.

I really enjoy shooting with the Rolleiflex TLR, it's a magical experience. I am too caught up in the vibes to focus on the mechanics like closing the film counter window.

Good thing we're going for vibes and happy accidents!

Close-up photo of a couple branches of black-eyed susan stems in focus with more of the yellow flowers out of focus in the background. There is fog in the air that is also separating the background in addition to the shallow depth of field.

Photo of a large green tree behind a field of yellow black-eyed susan flowers in full bloom, the foreground is a bright red-orange light bleed emanating from the bottom right almost making the field look like it's on fire.

A white trailer with an open sale window with a striped awning above it, a person can be visible inside looking out the open back. The window has a ledge with cans hanging off of it holding flower stems and signs advertising the prices per stem ranging from $2 to $8. There are also pots with flowers and plants on the ground outside the trailer.

Same day but I did not advance the film so ended up with an unintended double exposure. It's a "creative fail"/"happy accident" that both scenes contain the same elements (dog and kid) but in very different configuration.

@carusb @tapasinthesun yeah definitely understand, that it is more work and needs to fit into your workflow.
I use Vuescan to get the negative image as a DNG and go directly into Darktable/Ansel after that. Looks like I'm the only one using an ancient scanner so all the #EpsonV500 posts are my scans following this process , take a look. It's mostly B&W but I'll be developing color at home next week so there will be more color examples soon.
I'm a fan of FOSS tools, happy to answer questions.

In December, I was in New York and went on a pilgrimage to the B&H Photo Video store and it was... AWESOME!

I got to meet a lot of nice people and they were generous and excited to have their portraits taken. It was a wonderful afternoon, I picked up a bunch of film, got to check out printer paper in person, and geeked out about my 1935 Rolleiflex. 100% would recommend!

A person is sitting at a desk with their arms on the desk smiling at the camera. Behind them is shelves with rows and rows of film cameras. Some Brands are visible in the background Mamiya being the only one not cut off, Contax and Hasseblad logos are partially visible.

A person is standing and looking downward at the camera with a confident smile, they can be seen waist up. Behind the person there is a poster of a model almost mirroring the pose, they're almost lined up and the model's hat looks it's on the person.

Two people are looking at the camera and smiling, they're in a store and wearing vests and name tags, reading 'Jose' and 'Michelle'.

Black and white photo of three sky scrapers with glass window facades are lined up with two on the left closer together and the right one with more a gap with the middle building. Each building a different take on rectangle, from left to right: stacked rectangles with triangle shapes sticking out the top, proper rectangles with square segments, rectangle exterior windows facade broken up with recessed rectangles angling down. The top right of the photo has leafless tree branches encroaching towards the top of the buildings.

A black and white photo of a lone tree against a completely blank sky with a sliver of ground showing in the bottom. The free fills most of the frame, it has a dark trunk but very light colored branches jutting out in every direction with sparse fall leaves still clinging on.

Black and white photo of a square divided into triangles and the edges each then split off into other triangles. A reflection is visible in the right and bottom central triangles cluing-in the viewer into it being a glass window (it's a glass ceiling actually).

After getting the mirror replaced [1] and with all the wind in my sails, I shot another roll with the LM for #FP4Party. The viewing lens focus was tack sharp, whatever broke the mirror also caused misalignment between the taking and viewing lenses . Please share any repair guides/suggestions.

I was pretty excited about some of the shots, pretend they're not blurry, ok?

Double exposure of a taxidermy bear in front of a brick wall with bright windows on both sides. There appears to be another smaller bear in the chest of the bigger bear which can be seen holding a coffee cup.

Black and white photo of a building entrance that has many windows over two floors and all of it is tied together with a mural on the brick wall. The mural is three figures and a lot of different hands and arms holding each other.

Well it has been a bit of a misadventure between the mirror being cracked making composing difficult, not knowing how much to advance the film due to the non-resetting film counter, and not having a good way to scan, but an adventure nonetheless. Thanks for the motivation to try something new #FP4Party!

I did not make the Photo-flo solution strong enough, see the spots. Easy fix, just rewashed the film and it seems to be drying nicely. I'm the least satisfied with the scanning and can't seem to dial the focus in auto or manual, might be a scanner limitation.

Overall, I'm quite excited to be able to do the whole process myself. Onto C41 color after a few more rolls to build more experience.

The splash was epic and even though I missed the decisive moment not knowing it was liberating. I could focus on enjoying the moment, sharing laughter at puddle water all over my friend's shorts and IN his mouth.

I'm sticking with just using Negadoctor for all exposure/color adjustments (Darktable/Ansel is an amazing FOSS project). Improving scan quality will be a process... tips welcome!

A person wearing white sneakers is jumping into a puddle visible from the shins down, they're suspended in mid-air. There's grass in the background, the puddle is on asphalt with autumn leaves strewn about in various shades of yellow, reds, and brown.
