Pup at the Parthenon

Thanks Jon. I love the ultrawide perspective this correction gives, which seems to exaggerate perspective even more than my 14mm or 15mm lenses do. Not sure why - I just wish it was doable in the darkroom.

One more from the Parthenon, using my 8mm:

I like the tree shadow and silhouet! (and the dog is great, too). A good friend uses an 8mm quite a bit, originally with B&W IR film, now FF digital with the camera set up to record IR. The perspective is challenging to work with! Geir used a Widelux before going to the 8mm set-up, so he is use to twisting his vision to match the equipment! Some examples: https://www.flysfo.com/museum/exhibi...hl-circle-life

It is a lens that gets up close and personal!

Thanks for the link Vaughn! It is nice seeing other photos from the 8mm (most people are just collecting these optics and only have pics of their lens and don't actually use it!). Some very nice photos on that site. It's definitely a hard lens to use well and so big that it doesn't make it into my bag as a "daily carry" kind of thing! Next time I am hiking out on the AT maybe I'll bring just that lens...

I'm a dedicated user of Fuji film.

Didn't know they also made apples. Neato.

Leigh, you'd think they'd include a box of sheet film with a box of apples.

Leigh, you'd think they'd include a box of sheet film with a box of apples.

But then they'd have to quintuple the price.

And how can you advertise B&W film as "red delicious"? False advertising.

David, I missed the church while replying earlier. I really like the light on the organ pipes.

Something a little different...the wife and I were cruising through Columbia, SC near USC and saw a sign for a graveyard. We headed that way and found that it was closed for "cleaning." Saw this immense pile of real and fake flowers and had to grab a photograph. It was kind of surreal.



Should've thrown a roll of color in my other camera and shot this with Portra or something, because it was full of fake red flowers in yellow sparkly paper vases...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about if you've been to a cemetery.

Also I only just now realized the sign is misspelled!
