What an interesting place Roy's is! At one time it was a hangout for Hollywood types. Harrison Ford was there goofing off one day working the counter taking orders and serving the coffee and none of the customers recognized him. It's rumored that Johnny Carson had the antenna built when he heard that Amboy couldn't receive his show. A scene from the mid 90's movie Kalifornia was filmed at Roy's.

Just getting into large format. Here's one from a little reserve near my parents' house on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.

Ha, awesome, I hadn't heard the Johnny Carson story. I've been stopping by Amboy ever since my family camped near the crater in 1978.

Well done.
Shanghai is actually pretty darn good stuff. I miss it. Need to get some more.

Thanks Lachlan and mdm! I basically got the Shanghai film to use as a low cost first box, but it seems to be quite ok stuff to me. The only thing is that for my processing method anyway I seem to have to rate the film at EI 25 or less. That's using the taco method in a rollfilm dev tank and the times for D76 and X-tol on the massive dev chart. On one of my early shots I metered for EI 100 but forgot to stop the lens down (metered for f/16 but shot at f/4.7), that shot wasn't blown out and seemed to have a better range of densities than the other sheets it was developed with.

Anyway, now I have a 50 sheet box of tmax-400

Ken
Your images are so recognizeable no matter what the subject because of your mastery of the middle greys. Another very nice, very quiet one.

Thank you. That is one of the nicest compliments I've ever had.

What an interesting place Roy's is! ...Thomas

I came across the place for the first time this past February. I took a couple images there, but on my tiny camera (Rolleiflex).

Nice work, Greg!
