I took the Speed Graphic and some sheets of Ilford Delta 100 over to the aviation museum nearby my house on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. It is a very good collection of planes and helicopters along with a small museum of Marine artifacts. There are always some great old Marines there telling stories and generally having a good time. If you like aviation, it is well worth a visit. Admission is free.

Nice shots!! I've been meaning to go to an air force museum near me with my 4x5 for months (it's about 2 hours away). Gotta do that! I really like the 3rd and 4th especially.

Here are my first ever 8x10...

Have recently picked up 2-D in nice condition, along with extremely nice wood film holders. I do have a brand new box of Kodak Ektascan on hand but found that the film holder were already loaded so took a guess at 50 ASA and exposed some of this film during an open door day at a local museum in the west end of Montreal http://www.cahc-ccpa.com



I saw it fitting that this vintage camera would get back to use looking at a beautiful creation of its own vintage. As it happens, I smarted up before proceeding "in the dark" and looked again at the edge of one of those sheets of film to get an idea of what I had in those holders. Four square notches revealed Super Pan Press, rated at 200 ASA. Given some indications I found on the web and the age of the film, I prepared some stock D-76 at around 71F and developed for 7 minutes in a tube rolling on a motorised base. (exposure were around f22 for 2 minutes with Apo Ronar 300mm - did not take notes as this was really to use up these then unkown sheets). Quite happy with the results, particularly the idea of having given a good bath to those molds...

Will now have to prepare myself a scanning frame as these were scanned right on the glass of a v700 (The negatives look sharper than the scans).

Those picture are of a Blériot reproduction that flew last year (first and last flight before being put on permanent display). The original copy of this aircraft was the first to fly Montreal's sky, not that long after Gustav Whitehead first motorized flight http://www.gustave-whitehead.com.

For those of you who love aircraft pictures, fly-in breakfast are taking place all around the continent and provide for very nice photo opportunities. While the entrance is generally free, it is generally a good idea to plan on eating as food is generally sold to support the local flying chapter. I won't be able to attend my favorite, which is in St-Lazare on June 14th (near Montreal). (google St-Lazare Fly-in breakfast).

Got to go flying in this DeHavilland turbine Beaver last Friday. Landed on a couple alpine lakes on Kodiak which was cool. I actually landed here in a float plane 5 years ago for a goat hunt and it's a very cool spot. Nice to see it again.
Took this this with my Chamonix 045n2, Nikkor-SW 90mm f8 on delta 100.
