safe haven for tiny formats

I would LOVE to spend a week or two there with my big cameras...

I think "a lifetime" is more like it, though you might have to finally put the 8x20 out to pasture as your ULF option.

FWIW, during the Colonial period the Congarees was important crossroads--it was the "The Gateway to the West," with the main trading path from Charles Town to the Cherokee and Creek nations (among others) running through, while also being on the major route (via a branch of the Occaneechi trail) that connected the Charleston with the Catawba country and the lands back north and east.

I like it. There is an optimistic, cartoon-like feel.

That’s excellent, Randy!

Thanks tuco, Randy.

CB, you always have an interesting historical perspective on subjects/locations here!

Love the truck/silhouette Austin.

My wife and I today went to several wineries here in the area to hang out as our weekend family plans got cancelled. Took my Widelux and finally shot a roll of Rollei IR 400 film I had been wanting to try, with the special Panon Red filter:





Worked really well considering I was just guessing exposures and filter compensation and just took a stab at development with DDX at 1:4 for 10 minutes.

Those turned out very well, Bryan.

Thank you.

That’s excellent, Randy!

Thanks Peter! Randy I do really like that silhouette with the camera. That's how I feel some days, shooting film...

Edit: One more from yesterday. When I was little, I would take lots of photos of clouds. I still love clouds but refrain from photographing them as subjects themselves usually, but this big cloud caught my eye as it blotted out the sun. Still the Widelux but this time T-Max 100 and shot with an orange filter, developed in DD-X 1:9 11 minutes at 70F:

Thanks Graham. I was in a playful mood.

Good one Randy! Besides being silhouettes, our pictures share the element of showing how much trickery there is in photography. I mean, I don't think you were actually beating your camera, just as I wasn't really in that truck. Of course, I could be wrong; maybe you were beating your camera...
