So, is that your home?

Yep, sure is. The outlet pipe for the house, which happens to be directly over my darkroom sink, cracked and had to be replaced along with the section of pipe going to the septic tank as it was under tension and had a "belly," which caused a clog and backup.

The septic also needed to get pumped anyway and we installed "risers" so that they wouldn't have to dig up the yard in the future. Here's the guys pumping the septic late into the evening due to another job getting done late. Tripod is mine, I put some shop lights out to help illuminate the workspace, and because I knew I wanted to snap a picture:

The idea here is my ongoing interest in telescopic photography. A vintage Minolta Black SRT-101 with Mirror Lockup, on a Manfrotto Ball Head, and Manfrotto legs. Shooting Tri-X fresh Bulk Loaded, exposing at EI 800, developing for EI 1600. The intermediate output in a 5x7 Grade 2 RC print suitable for digitally photocopying.

I hope you can get it fixed at a decent price!

A nice photo, but I didn't like the car.
Long time ago, I drove one a few times, which I had on loan, and I had the feeling that that car was so 'brutally elementary' and was very 'direct' as wel, and gave me the feeling that the car was driving me instead I was...
Compared to my uncle's Chevrolet CMP Recovery I drove so much at the time (as 16 years old boy in the mid '70's), the Corvette was an untameable stalion. The Chevrolet was very powerful to but could be 'controlled' a little more which was nice in the field, for recovering farming tractors who got stuck in the mud while harvesting beets and patatos, which was very 'common' where I was living.

My 2020 RAV4 practically drives itself, so the "direct" and "elementary" Corvette, for me, is a real treat. No traction control, lane guidance, ABS, etc. :).

Nowadays it's really not that fast comparatively. Sometime I'd like to drive a newer Corvette and see how that feels.

Most other photographic forums wouldn't consider FF to be a tiny format, though my Pentax Q cameras would qualify
259115 :)

More in keeping with this thread would be an IR shot from my converted A7ii (I won't go to IR film with the current availability)

Thanks Jon, that's quite a big thread to work my way through :)

I do shoot quite a bit of IR, at least in the summer months. Here in the UK IR is weaker than for much of the US so I tend to compensate by including some visual wavelengths & going the false color route, using full spectrum converted bodies.
The #25 (Red or 590nm) filter is my most common choice, but I also use a #47 (Blue & IR, similar to the 'superblue') quite a bit, and have tried all sorts of options :)

Take your time! I know it will take a while. I too have a full spectrum body. I have not been shooting IR recently though. When I do, I have the full range of filters from about 440nm to 850nm. Recently, I have been spending more time with my Pentax K3 Mark III Monochrome camera.

I was back in the Arts district of Atlanta today and toured the new exhibits at the High Museum. I always have to visit the modern art area and shot this of a large-scale piece. Not quite a cyclorama but nearly so?

It appears that the banding problem with the Horizon Pro S3 happens only when using the fast shutter speeds, not the slow ones. I wanted to test this theory so I loaded the S3 with Tmax 100, exposed at 50 ASA (developed in Mytol stock: 6 minutes) and so this was a 1 second exposure at f11.5, and there is no banding in these negatives. A shame, but I guess I will limit myself to slow films and the longer exposures.
That said, this little lens is pretty good - no lack of sharpness or contrast. But its depth of field is not great: the lilacs on the left are about 2.5 feet from the camera and even at f11.5 (f16 is the smallest aperture) objects that close are still not in focus.

Thanks Jon, Phil, and Igor.

And, nice one above Paul.

Both ends of my Horizon S3 negs are always a little dense (Delta 100 in ID11 at 1+2) - as if the swing of the lens takes time to build up speed and slows at the end of travel.
I only shoot on the low speed settings.
I really like using the camera - its simplicity is refreshing after lots of LF.
