Thanks Randy.

When I was in San Francisco, I toured Chinatown all morning, and then in the afternoon I walked all the way to Fort Point under the Golden Gate Bridge, seeing whatever I came across...

I'm starting to look at some of my earlier scans with fresh eyes, since basically all my film short of a few E6 sheets are developed. I've been printing and this past weekend showed some work from...

Thank you Michael! I loved doing orchestra and theatre shots back in the day, especially BTS-style - though I usually used digital making it much easier with little or no light!

Thanks John. It's been awhile since doing photography at concerts/bars; it's fun!

A friend of ours' husband is a well-known blues musician in the area, and he played a small show last night here in town. I have some Ilford 3200 I needed to use so I loaded up a couple of rolls in...

A few days after I got back from my recent road trip, my grandmother died (dad's side). I unfortunately did not get to see her before it happened. She was 95. My grandfather died in a car accident...

Speaking of fire houses...taken on Route 66 at an old firehouse:

I stand corrected!

Vaughn and I walked past this fire house in Blue Lake, and had a discussion about letters and symbols with ambiguous meaning. I like photographs like this with potentially an...

Thanks Jon!

Here's an image that likely only one person here will recognize :).

Thank you both. I've tried a few times to make images when I see pollen or duckweed in the water but this is the best result I've had.

Last night I developed the last 4 rolls of film from my trip. All that's left is a few sheets of Velvia I need to develop but I need to get fresh E6 chems.

I posted this scene from the Redwood NP...

Correct! I have still yet to use the 620mm converted lens. The 360mm is a really great focal length for this camera.

Shot this yesterday at the Atlanta Film Photographers group meetup / photo walk in Piedmont Park. I was working quickly and left my film holder sitting in full sunlight which I think caused the...

Thanks Martin!

Possibly a little bit of flare. I also had this film in the car for over 3 weeks and I think the heat and such may have impacted it a little bit, at least the color film, which was already expired.

Yes! I was telling my wife it felt like being on a different planet, when I was in DV.

Here's a color image from the Painted Desert in Arizona. 90mm and a lot of tilt:

Nice work Kevin and Mango.

Coming back around to this image, I shot this other sheet in DV:

Burnett says there was 3 film photographers incl. him, Frank Thorp, and Louis Palu. There's so much media...

Thanks Gary. I finally got to the other sheet I shot, with the lens at f/5.6 instead. I like the full soft-focus look in this image instead of the more vintage but still relatively sharp image posted...

The peeking buffalo is fun! I saw a couple of wild buffalos near the road, trotting along, which was interesting.

When I drove up to the barn, no one was around. I grabbed my camera and by the...

Yeah I dodged that bullet. They even re-opened the southern road to Yellowstone when I was in WY, but I didn't go. I came home about 4 days early, saving Glacier, Yellowstone, Monument Valley, and...

That's interesting. I've shot a lot of the Fuji and never seen that. Out of curiosity, what developer?

Point Arena Lighthouse:

One of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen. This was about 5:30am, driving on Tioga Pass Rd. going to Yosemite NP on June 12th. I had to stop and shoot this, but Yosemite requires reservations...

I brought 3 backs for my Hasselblad. One was marked for b&w film and I only used Delta 100, or, HP5+ when I was hand-holding in the city. Since I was shooting so much film, there was no time to...

Shot this back in 2014 of the Georgia Guidestones. If you haven't heard (not sure if it's "national" news or not) at 4am this morning some kind of explosive device positively decimated one of the...

:) I really like the soft focus effect for night lights. Will have to try this around Christmas.

More color. Zabriskie sunrise:

Color!

Well today I developed 5 more rolls of 400-speed film, plus 9 rolls of color film. That's drying.

Here's a fresh scan from some HP5+ I shot at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park....

Thank you Gabe and Bill. I like these kinds of images but I'm not sure how they come off in prints, especially for other people.

Thanks Martin! For this one, and the one in the landscape thread, I did not use a filter. However, I do sometimes use a yellow or red filter when shooting with lots of blue sky, or a polarizer to cut...
