Those taillights make all the difference. Did you have to stage that?

Jim, I got lucky. If I had known that the taillights would add so much to the scene I would have parked my own car there and backed it out!

This is a good one. Very cinematic. I like the way that it shows us not just a scene, but an event-just what that event was we have to decide for ourselves!

Thanks, Austin. I have some other daytime shots from this same vantage point, but this image has the most mystery to it.

Don't laugh. I'm not very good at this and the machine doesn't do round things well at all (its built into the table - can't put things over the end of it). But here is a homemade case I made for my DSLR that is inside. I'm also going to make one for my Mamiya 7II.

Tuco, looks great, nothing to laugh at, having sewed a few things myself, I'm quite impressed. Just curios, what did you use for padding? Is the case lined, and if so what kind of fabric did you use? I'm asking because I am thinking of making a couple of film holder cases.

Thanks.

It has a fansy stack up of materials in that thing both for padding protection and shape. I cut the layers out and bonded them together with 3M Super 77 spray adhesive ( a rubber cement) to help hold in place while sewing.

The decorative surface is a version of CORDURA®. The inner surface is a foam pad material that is a tin foam on one side and a smooth texture on the other ( like in some camera bags). In between these layers was either flexible sewing plastic sheet, more - thicker - foam (bottom, lens and body part) or both (bottom, lens). When the stack up got too thick for the sewing machine to power through at joints with the black nylon webbing, I rotated it by hand. I have a carpet needle in the machine using nylon carpet thread.

Tuco, thanks for the info. Nice sewing machine too.

Scan of an old print, shot 6x9 on the Fuji rangefinder for Steuben Glass ~ 1991

Why we had to use chrome film to be professional was so f-ing stupid.
