Seven rolls of film in seven days starts now!

[jcrutcher]

My first roll is shot, M7, 400 Portra, 21mm summilux..

Tomorrow Rolleiflex 2.8c Fuji 160ns

Friday Barnack "O" not decided on the film


That's all I have planned for now.

[Mark A. Fisher]

Just shot my 4th roll on the 4th of July! Took my F100 with a roll of HP5+ to the local 4th of July parade. Sunday I shot my Mamiya 7II, Monday was the Ansco Speedex, yesterday was the Nikon N90s with expired HIE IR film. Tomorrow? The Leica IIIC, but I'm not sure of the film just yet. This has been an excellent process for me, despite record heat wave in our area this past week, and the same is forecast for the next 3 or 4 days. It has gotten me shooting some cameras I haven't used for awhile, and has forced me to go beyond my comfort zone weather-wise.

Thanks for the challenge Keith!

Two rolls down. The first in the OM2s with 50mm f1.8. The second in a camera I haven't tried till today (fingers crossed). Olympus 35 EC.

I put batteries in the 35 EC2 this evening for day three, but it is locked up. I can't fire the shutter or advance the film. So, day three will be the 35 RC.

the middle of the month will be my week ...

Day 3 Barnack O with Efke 25

[buzzardkid]

So far:

1. Monday Kodak Pro100
2. Tuesday RolleiRetro100
3. Wednesday Kodak Pro100
4. Thursday Kodak Pro100 (2 rolls actually, street shooting)
5. Friday Kodak Pro100
6. Saturday planning Tmax400 or RolleiRetro100
7. Sunday not sure yet

Shot with the M2 + Summilux 35/1.4 + Super-Angulon 21/3.4 + Zeiss-block Jupiter-9.

I'm having fun in this project!

[Tom A]

I am on roll 6 today. Everything shot with Leica MP and Nokton 40f1.4 SC. To make my life even more difficult - I decided on subjects like July 1 - crowds, July 2nd dogs (roll was finished by noon!!!!), roll 3 was boarded up shop-fronts as a "signs of the time", roll 4 was cafe's within walking distance of where we live -easy as Vancouver is a caffein addicted city - and got 23-24 different ones! Roll 5 was more "loose" shots - beach with the sun ( a bit of a novelty so far this year). Today will be Chinatown and maybe the night market there (a bit of a challenge as I am also only shooting Acros 100). Tomorrow is undecided so far.
It is a bit nerve wracking to have a roll finished at mid afternoon - and then you keep seeing more pictures! Great project though - and good for discipline too. Sunday should be processing time - most likely Beutler 1:10 for 7 min.

This time around I'm letting my little Fujica GS645 strut its stuff. I'm currently scanning rolls one and two; three and four are in the tank as I type; five is on the shelf, waiting for the next batch; and six and seven are waiting to be shot.

Happy days.

[zauhar]

Glad to see you fine gentlemen already in the saddle!

My goal is to start 15 July, by which time I will have finished processing images from our Europe trip, and finished my course of antibiotics!

I'll be starting either tonight or tomorrow. Shooting some with APS (Contax Tix and Leica C11) for the first two days so I have to fire those off first so they can go out for processing. The rest will be 35mm and some 120.

Should be interesting!

[Mark A. Fisher]

So far:

Sunday - Mamiya 7II, 100 Acros
Monday - Ansco Speedex, Ilford PanF 50
Tuesday - Nikon N90s, expired (2001) Kodak HIE Infrared
Wednesday - Nikon F100, Ilford HP5+
Thursday - Leica IIIC, Velvia 50
Today - YashicaMat 124G, 220 Provia 100
Tomorrow - Last Day, Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/16 - Velvia 100


Great Fun! Lotta negatives to browse thru to boil down to the final 3! I'm hoping I have 3 keepers in there somewhere, if I'm lucky!

Looks like everyone is off to a good start. Hope to start today or tomorrow.

Just one quick question, reading Tom's post and a few others, I hear folks talking about only being allowed to shoot one roll per day. My understanding is there is no restriction on how much film you shoot each day, just that you can only shoot one roll each day for this particular project. Is that correct? There's no restriction on how much film you can shoot daily otherwise, right? Because I'm gonna have days in the next week where I will be shooting much more than one roll of film (for work, etc.), but I am dedicating one roll per day to this project. Am I reading something wrong?

Thanks for any and all info on this.

Best,
-Tim

[paulfish4570]

i think you have a correct reading ...

[jcrutcher]

Today (sat 7-7) it's M7 with 35mm cron asph, Kodak px125

I finished my 7th roll today.....and I agree with Tom A about finishing a roll and then seeing more photos throughout the day......it was frustrating for me

but oh well, I agreed to partake in this project and I can proudly say that I am finished with it now....I will get 4 rolls back from the lab tomorrow and the other 3 rolls back in the next couple of days......

I used my M6ttl with a couple of different lenses, I used Kodak Pro Image 100 throughout the whole project.....I tried to shoot "different" things and and I tried to challenge myself....I hope my efforts show through in the photos.......

A question for you Keith, are you going to start a thread where we can post our 3 "best images"? I will be ready in the next couple of days to share my images with the other members on this forum....

I learned a lot from doing this and I will share my experiences when I get my photos back and see the results (but I sort of already know what the photos are going to look like)....but then again, there are always those "surprise photos" that make me happy......

cheers, michael

I like your method of picking a subject to shoot for the day Wish I'd thought of that,my shooting has been all over the place with no set idea.

My variation has been a diffrent camera/lens combination each day. Two of the camera/lens combos are new to me so will see how that works out

[print44]

I agree - the daily theme sounds like a good idea.

Day 1 here: CL & 40 Cron-C & TMX400. Untypical family day - my parents are visiting. I've shot 20 of 36 exposures & trying to keep enough back for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow's a birthday party for my youngest - that work will probably go digital, but the M4P has a roll of TMX100 and the F2 a roll of Acros in wait...

[jcrutcher]

Ok tomorrow Day 5 for me will be interesting.

Leica IIIG with 8.5CM Summarex with Delta 400.. fun!

[kdemas]

The Summarex is a terrific lens, unique signature. Have fun with it Jim!

Another Summarex plus...you get a workout carrying it around. Quite the beast, beautifully finished.

[randolph45]

Finished my last roll today using M6/40mm 1.4

[astro8]

Well...in preparation for this project, yesterday I learnt to load a cassette from a bulk roll, shoot an M2 and then develop & scan. All with varying degrees of success.

The film is an unknown quantity. It was in an old bulk loader I found on ebay. I shot it as 400 but since developing it, I've deduced it must be either 100 or 50iso as the negatives were nearly black.

All good fun though!

Man, have I got a lot to learn....

[gilpen123]

I'm a bit slow, just finished 1 roll M2 and Neopan 400.

[StefanJozef]

I'll start this next weekend, probably 15th July. I'm only working three days that week. Looking forward to it. Stefan

[Chrisrw]

Five down, two more to go. I've been shooting with the same camera, lens and film through out the week and will continue with them for the last two days. I want to get more familiar with my R2 which I almost sold and the Jupiter 8 which I recently acquired. Experimenting with the same three elements under varying conditions will hopefully allow me to put them through their paces and understand their limitations. Since this is all new to me I hope to learn as much as possible, rather than trying to capture the perfect shot.

[jcrutcher]

5 down also..

Tomorrow it's a Rollei 4X4 loaded with Efke 100

Tuesday Day 7 is M5 with HP5 rated at 800 iso, 90 mm summicron ASPH
