Well, this is the last of them. The one that most, initially, looked like a blank sheet. Honestly, I am sometimes so impressed how much detail hides in a sheet of film. Especially when I need to do this sort of massive information recovery.
Again, the film is quite dirty. Something I did, I'm sure. Anyway, I'm not going to kill myself trying to get it perfect.
In the end, I'm reasonably pleased with this.

The least Illegible of the two I took towards the West Bay buildings. Here's a pro tip: Using low contrast film like Astia and then overexposing the life out of it is not the best way to capture an extremely low contrast subject like extremely misty dawn buildings. Oh, and there was still some mist on the lens. Pretty hard to focus properly in those conditions too.
Well, I cropped this down as you can see. The lens is a little off centre on the lens board and there was some vignetting in the corners that was hard to ignore. I quite like the lens flare off to the left, though.
Worked on this a little more.

I awoke before sunrise determined to get a few shot with the new lens. Of course, this being Doha humidity was about 167%. Most definitely condensing. The Rodenstock is a massive slab of metal and glass and remained steamed up for the next thirty minutes. This, as I framed it, was a rather nice silhouette of the Museum of Islamic Arts with the sun and its reflections in the water rather nicely and precisely aligned. Well, between the overexposure and the steam on the lens there is no museum to see. Still, perhaps not a total loss.
Worked on a little better.

I exposed this for -- as it turns out -- rather too long. ;-) Nevertheless, I think it has something. Apart from dust. It does have an awful awful lot of dust. In fact, I haven't really fully cleaned it here. Just the most obvious stuff.
Just worked on this a little to bring out the far details a little.

Agfa Ambi Silette with CineStill 500T (aka 800T) negative film. This film is repackaged movie film with the Remjet backing removed and respooled into small canisters for still cameras.
MIA distant. Experimental merge of five seperate frames scanned and then combined using PhotoAcute to perform SuperResolution processing.
I guess I could have picked more compelling subject matter. To be honest my thinking was along the lines of, "I wish I had a longer lens than 90mm. I know, I'll take multiple shots and do a superresolution processing on them so I can crop further." Only I haven't actually cropped this since I wanted to compare it to the other similar shots that weren't combined from multiple exposures.
90mm lens. 1/2second at f11.
