Excellent. Are the hills covered with snow or sand?

Thank you. It's snow.

I ran across this when swapping-out the stereo receiver. It's a 6x7 B&W reversal that I made from Kodak 100 TMax a while back when I was learning the process. Dusted it off a little and scanned it without a mount so its not perfectly flat on the scanner which doesn't have a 6x7 film holder. Taken from an overlook of Sutro Baths in San Francisco.

That's nice. When I started developing my own, I wanted to try that BW reversal but never did get around to it for some reason.

Great contrast.

I used David Woods (DR5) recommendations in the 3d edition of the Darkroom Cookbook and used Kodak D-11 as the first developer. The dilution was misprinted as being 1:3 which gave crappy results. After some experimentation it turned out to be 3:1. Once mixed though, D-11 seems to have some staying power as I kept the unused portion in a less than full container for several days without ill effect. At the time I didn't have "concentrated" sulfuric acid and compensated for by adjusting the volume of the acid so that the mole volumes matched. This thread details my progress at the time: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...sing-with-D-11

I switched from shooting transparencies to negative film some time back which is lamentable as I kind of miss sitting back in a comfy chair in a darkened room with the stereo and projecting them onto a screen. Plus, I have the projection equipment and even the slide mounts already so I'm going to make it a point to "explore" with the 6x7 for B&W and the 645 for color transparencies and come back with the big cameras for the good finds.

I have fond memories of sitting around the living room with relatives watching the slide show when I was a child. It would be narrated by mom and dad and it was fun. Everyone seem to get involved. The projected images were large and colorful back then. I have that projector now and can look at old family photos. I imagine a medium format slide projector would really rock for a slide show.

It sure does! I bought the Pro Cabin 67Z from B&H but didn't get the optional 645 carrier for it. When I got the 645P I looked and looked for that carrier but couldn't find one so I bought a MF Rollei 66AV with a Heidosmat lens. The Cabin is manual so you have to feed it and the Rollei is auto with remote. I still have those projectors along with a 35mm Kodak AMT with the best projection Kodak ever made. This got me to thinking about traveling around SF and environs with Pentax soft focus lens on the 35 and MF cameras and creating a work to be accompanied by suitable music.
