He's in!

Hopefully, I have some time to take my first pictures this weekend.

Please tell me you're not shooting with such a long center column extension. A sure recipe for blurred photos.

and the front extension should be reduced

The extension is just to show off the pretty bellows.

I loaded my first sheets of film today and bought chemicals to develop, I hope I have some time this weekend to play around.

Every day you put off shooting makes it easier to put it off the next day. Every day you shoot and develop makes it more difficult to put off.

Working from home this morning I was reminded of a composition in the back yard. Wind had picked up and the light I wanted was gone by the time I finished a teleconference. I missed the excitement of making the shot, the excitement of developing the negative that I wanted and the excitement of creating the contact print that I visualized.

Took four rather random pictures this weekend, just as a practice. I don't have a light meter, just guessed a little and it all worked out really well.
