Autosalon same weekend. Hope the sun's out and it's dry. Park, water, beach, St Kilda photowalk, modified cars, skanks, meeting photo geeks, greasy fingers and clean glass.. etc.
Sounds like it has potential for a hugely varied photo weekend. Hope I can get away from work.
BOOZE!

Do we take booze to these park meets? Have not been to one before. Although, my wife recommended I stop drinking at meets after my efforts at the Retreat. Who would have thought one man could be full of so much Sh*t...

@scary ... if you are thinking slide film with c-41 chems, then no - too difficult to keep the temps up in this situation. If you are thinking colour negs in b&w chems, then sorta possible, but wouldn't want to do it for this project. We will have medium format cameras loaded with b&w film for people to try out.
Sound ok?

This sounds pretty fun. I'm new to Melbourne (I've been here a week) and I'm looking forward to meeting and being inspired by new people.

Mmmmmm ... yeah OK. Just to streamline everything, we want to use the same film at the same speed so the dev times are the same for everything. I think we will be using Tri-X400. If it's a bright sunny day, then they'll be a little overexposed, but if it's a bit cloudy, then we could be close enough ... then again, we could seperate the Holgi and develop according to prevailing light ... but in reality, we'll see how we go. Bring 'em anyway.

brappy♥ the melbourne silver mine will have some food on the bbq, any proceeds raised from that go back into the silver mine to fund fuure analogue photo projects (several members who met on flickr started a non profit group earlier this year) .. but it will be cheap, cheerful and simple... so bring something to drink.
You can of course bring your own food if you prefer, even bbq food, no obligation here.

I think we're going to be using Rodinal ... partly because a little bit of it goes a long way. The dev times are different with Tri-X400 and HP5 ... we will have a few rolls of tri-X around for people to use.

Rodinal was my all time favourite at Uni - a little bit goes a LONG way when you're a starving student sleeping at Uni and p[ritning all night in the darkroom!!!
I have an absolute tonne of medium format b/w film (mostly pro packs froma retired wedding photographer), and equally as much 35mm.
This is marked in the calendar as a must go to event!
See everyone there!

Early childhood development - 12 mins in 50:1 Rodinal at 20C :-)
Posted 15 months ago.
(

Okey dokey kids!
The plan is basically like this ... we will have a few medium format cameras loaded with tri-X400 which people can share and take a few shots with. The number of shots per person will depend on how many want to participate, but we are expecting to only run through about 3 or so rolls (36 images) ... this is because of the development process and other constraints like time etc.
We may be able to do a couple more depending on timing and resources, but I only really want to develop 1 batch (3 rolls) or at the most two.
This will be a demonstration to see how easy it is to get a useable negative and hopefully kick start a few people into investing in some equipment themselves and having a go at developing at home.
So don't worry about bringing your own film - the wonderful Melbourne Silvermine Inc will provide stuff.
Yay!

autumn-rain nah, there's definitely something satanic going on down there.
tsu_tsu you most probably wouldn't fridge them ... unless you lived in hell, or ringwood... cool dark place really all you need, back of a cupboard.. but yeah we can talk all about that, everyone else will give you good advice, i will give you good advice tainted with lies... just for kicks, i'm old, it's how i get pleasure from life.
are you going to bring that ugly friend of yours?

@Matt ... that will all depend on how many people we have at any given time ... we will allow interested people to have a few shots and when a few rolls are filled up, then we will develop.
Mind you the meet kicks off at 1pm ... plus a little bit of time for stragglers.
Probably fair to say that if people turn up at 4pm, they prolly won't see any developing of negatives happening ... probably ... but there will be other stuff going on.

The 7th circle (after googling) is full of violent people. Hmmm- don't all those night club bashings/killings happen in the centre of the city?

They were just talking about daylight savings and adjusting the clocks at work (on Sat night/Sun morning). Might pay for the admin/s to point this out in the thread start- so we don't get confused people turning up at the wrong time.

Had a great afternoon people, lots of fun. Thanks so much to Rob, Rhys and Zaeem for sharing your knowledge equipment and chemicals. Thanks to all the unsuspecting photographic subjects who got the toy camera blurry light leaked treatment from my camera.
Even arriving home to find my daughter had broken her arm (poor poppet - greenstick # of the distal radius with ulna angulation if you were wondering Mike) that afternoon didn't dampen the enthusiasm generated.
