The last of 5 rolls of film shot and developed this week is this series, the Panechelli’s Cows. Some of my favorite local subjects. The second roll shot with newly refurbished Widelux 7. I love this camera. Here are some highlights from this week’s panoramic sets.

You can check out most my film shots here, more added soon: https://timricephoto.photoshelter.com/gallery-collection/Film/C0000VAccw26ZHGM

The image was taken a while back during my trip to Ellis Island last year, where I took photos of the closed portions. However, it was processed today—a film shot taken with one of my favorite cameras, the Widelux 7. I had to send her away for a few months; she needs to be serviced, cleaned, and the banding issue, which is visible in the photo above, needs to be addressed. Not a fast process – there are not many left who work on them. I had the roll developed, and today, I scanned and shared the images.

Eighteen photos of Reykjavik (and the area ) from the 1971 Widelux point-and-shoot landscape camera. Nothing fancy. It documents. I love film. Soon the digitals will be shared, though.

I shot a roll of film in Boston, along the water near Fan Pier and Atlantic Ave. I took the Widelux and the Hasselblad with me for the walk. The Hasselblad was not loaded correctly. No one to blame but me. Stupid mistake (that will only happen once), so all I have is the Widelux images. Sad because I really liked some of the shots I would have had with the Hasselblad – it means I need another walk. These panoramic images are a great consolation price, though. The best part of the walk was in front of the Boston Harbor Hotel. There were some sports cars on display. People were taking photos and posing with them. As far as I could tell, a few young men in their 20s were offering to take pics using their nice cameras. One of them saw me take a photo (the one with the cars below) and dashed over to me which made me feel old.

Him: “Excuse me, you shooting real film… with a film camera?”
Me: “Yes, I am”
Him: “Wow, I have never seen anyone shoot real film before. That is so cool.”
Me: “I am from a different century.”
Him: “Oh cool” <walks away less impressed>
Wife: Just laughed at me.

The other day I posted photos from Eight Arch Bridge in Holliston. While there, I also photographed it with my 1970s Widelux F7 film camera – Ilford HP5 film, developed by hand in my barn, ISO 400, F8, and Shutter Speed 250—a great spot for the panoramic camera. A few photos from the rest of the roll are below some friends, family, the house, the studio, Medway Fire Department. The second roll I have put through the Widelux, I have missed film.
