Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
I retired in 1999 and moved into a smaller house in 2008. Since my move I have been shooting old barns and farms, abadnon buildings, old depots, almost anything old, with vintage equipment. I have an 8x10 Deardoff about my age,born 1935, and my new camera is a Super Speed Graflex. Most lens are Ektar, with a few Wollensak in the mix. Film is Ilford Delta 100.
Here is a shot that started the barn and farms collection. This barn is what remains of a dariry farm, my development can be seen in the background.
Shot with my Deardoff and a 10 inch Ektar.

This is the reason I love photographing old things. This is an old abandon house covered in wisteria and wild flowere in the forground. The photo was made several years ago and the house is now gone! Some things deserve to be saved by photography, and I think this is one.
Made with a Zone VI camera several years ago.

This is another photograph for history. Whoever lived in this house was a friendly sort. Why else would a hand well pump be put in the front yard.
Made with my Graflex and 127mm lens.

Re: Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
Does this photograph show something old, no, not really? However, it is historical in that it a photograph of Burlington Industries Corporate Office in Greensboro, NC. When this was made with a Zone VI with a roll film back it records the headquarters of the largest textile manufacturing operation in the USA, employing thousands. In addition, Burlington was my largest customer during my 40 years in the US Textile Industry. To-day it is gone, out of business, this building torn down. This property is now the home of a shopping center. History needs to be recorded.

Lots of old, stored in old.

Re: Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
I've posted a lot of old things elsewhere, but here's something a little different. It's an old fire axe ("Truck 5") that my father picked up somewhere along the way.

Re: Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
The root cellar is one of my favorites, not technically, but subject wise. This was along the Salmon river in Idaho. It has part of an Omar Khayyam poem in the concrete, but when people see the 1962 they immediately think BOMB SHELTER! I think it was just some reclusive beatniks living in a little cabin there that overlooks the river.

Couldn't agree more. Keep it up. I am trying the same thing in Alberta.
"This is another photograph for history. Whoever lived in this house was a friendly sort. Why else would a hand well pump be put in the front yard".
The well is below the house. The Out-House is out the back. When they moved the Out-House, the well dried up. :).
Love both shots.

I'm not a fan of photos from soft focus lenses, but I gotta admit, I love this one...

Wonderful images Gary. I particularly appreciate the tonality of this image.

Re: Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
Gary,
Same as Donald.
Any info to share with a Newbie on Development Method (Dilution/Time/Temp/Agitation/etc.)? I hope to use this combination also.
-
Re: Old Things,Farms,Barns,Buildings, Plus
I used the rodinal 1:50 for 11 minutes at 68F. I may have derated the film speed a bit, though it was a long exposure and hard to say exactly.
I would love to get more Acros in the sleeves, even sheets in a box would be fine.
I've got so much film in the fridge though it'll be a while before I'm shopping for film again.

I think you are referring to the figure at the top of my lighthouse. Sadly, no its not a person. For some reason the owner stuck a silver statue on the top gantry. Something about the lighthouse being haunted. Tend to agree, I was hoping it was not too noticeable.

I figured it was an inside joke about the guy looking out of the outhouse door.

Ah - I did not notice that in the picture you refer to. Me and my ego :o
BTW Jim - I'm loving the little meniscus lens I bought from you. Just working out how to attach filters to it.

You nailed the exposure on this one. Nice shot!
