An old pump like this was posted a couple of weeks ago, but well after I'd made these photos. I just now got them scanned.

Saltbox and Pump, 2012
Fuji 160C, Sinar F2, 90mm f/5.6 Super Angulon, f/22 at 1/15.


Hand Pump, 2012
Fuji 160C, Sinar F2, 210mm f/5.6 Sinaron-W, f/16 at 1/60.

I used some left swing in the bottom one--it's amazing how little depth of field one has even at f/16 at this range. The top one got significant right shift--that's all. I didn't want my reflection in the window. I did want the flag reflected in the window, and I wanted to see into the opening on the pump just a bit. But I spent a while trying to align with those shingles, only to finally realize that no two rows are parallel and the windows are definitely not level and plumb. It's understandable--the house was built in the middle 1700's out of wood from shipwrecks.

Rick, I love the coincidence of our pump shots, especially with the great distance between their locations. Yours are very nice.

Great work Randy. Great camera too. I got one too. The clouds make the first one. Any filtration?

Randy, that's excellent work. Very nice.

Thanks guys.

Ironage, is your camera in good condition? Mine is decent but missing the nut for rear swings. Have to find or fashion a replacement. I love the camera. Not much bellows draw but it is so light and sets up so fast. Yes, I used an orange filter for the clouds.

Nothing artistic here, but this is one of those times when the tones just all seem to work together.

Another TMY-2 in DD-X.

Coulterville, CA
Ebony RW810, 300mm f/5.6 Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-N, Arista .EDU Ultra 100 8x10
Processed in a unicolor drum, Kodak Tmax RS 1:9, bronze toned in CS3.

From the plaque mounted on the front of the building:

"Sun Sun Wo. Est. 1851 Chinatown Grocery - Coulterville, CA.
One of the earlier gold rush buildings, and one of the last adobe structures left, this general store was established and operated by the Chinese from 1851 until 1926. Named after It's original owners Mow Da Sun and his son, Sun Kow, this store was a major business in the area eventually branching out to Red Cloud about ten miles north-east of here. The original shelves and counters are still in the store, and there is evidence that part of the office was used as an opium den. A dirt ceiling and the fireproof walls spared the building from the fires that razed this town."

Love that Daniel. I actually remember stopping to shoot a few (exclusive digital days) there while on the way to Yosemite once when 140 was closed. I knew it looked familiar! Crazy for a boy from Alabama to be familiar with that place. I LOVE your part of the world!
