Looks great tuco! Great balance through the three trees.

Thanks

ericp, great shot of El Cap. I don't recall ever having seen that perspective.

Thanks. I think I was kind of lost. I don't recommend finding that perspective unless you have a better sense of direction than I.

Anyway, this is the photo that convinced me to start looking at LF. As nice as the Mamiya 7 is, I imagine that scene on a 4x5, at least the way the people on this forum do it, and it makes me want to get lost there at least once more.

Agfa Optima, yashica D

I like this a lot. The fact that I have a Yashicamat 124 and a bunch of Optima in the freezer (came with a box of other outdated 120 film I bought, all the rest has been fine, apparently really frozen since new as advertised) means this also tells me to shoot the darned stuff!

Do You Feel Lucky, Punk!?

I know what you're thinking, "Did he meter six zones or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Pentax Spotmeter V, one of the largest hand meters in the world, and would blow your highlights clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk!?

First session with this lens and this film. Love the lens, hate the film (Adox CHS 50 ART). I think the "art" is in persuading people it's worth the asking price.

Very nice, Jay. What was the lighting: strobes, hot lights, umbrellas? I ask because I have no gift for artificial lighting.

I have been shooting Efke PL100 lately in 9x12cm. At first I hated the stuff, but after extensive testing I was able to find a development scheme that produces results I like. Despite all of the warnings NOT to over expose and/or pull process that film I find rating it at EI 32 and using a semi-stand development is the key for me. And I use plain old rapid fixer w/o hardener. I'm not sure all of these cautions about these films are warranted. Sorry to hear about your troubles with Adox. Can't say I've ever used it.

I hope she didn't have to get her nice white socks muddy just for your shot. But, yeah, that about sums up the rain lately. Nice shot. The white really stands out.
