In the spirit of all the 50mm threads, thought I might start one for Christmas shots. So feel free to add your 50mm holiday photos :D

As some of you know, my Mom is home visiting from England this week. She's not going to be around Christmas, so we celebrated last night here at my place. Here's a few shots from decorating the tree last night. Sorry they're not the best. Was shooting Tri-X 400 and pushed to 3200 but, couldn't find any times for it with HC-110 so I guestimated :o

Here's a few more.... My mom, grandmother, and one of the cats playing in one of the boxes :)

Great images. Very classic looking. I love the look of true black and white.

Thanks brhitch :) These are a little darker than I would like due to never shooting low light conditions like these and having to guess on the development time. For these shots though, it's not about technical aspects, just the memories and good memories they are :thumbsup:

Nice job with the guess on time - pretty close. You're right though, sometimes it's about memories. I've never seen Tri-X at 3200 but seen some pretty nice examples at 1600. All films - even TMX and Delta 3200 which are (supposedly) rated for this are very contrasty at that speed.

Thats great for guessing. I can see you have a feel for it. They are good to make prints from. Tri-X is great, you can do anything with it. Very good start to what I am sure will be a very good thread.

Thanks a_v and reverberation :) I'll chalk it up to luck...LOL I really wish I had some more Tri-X to play with. This was my last roll :( Time to get another film and chemical order together :o

Anyone else start their holiday decorating yet?
