I am getting more used to the restrictive view from the Xpan by comparison to the Widelux.
The Widelux is fabulous in the world of subway stations. The Xpan is better if you are standing further back but still want to retain an intimacy (of sorts)

The Paraphernalia of homelessness. Glasgow under the M74 at Shields Road.
I made sure there was no one in the sleeping bags before taking the shot. I noticed the graffiti which took me down here, then I spotted these.

Just scanning some images from inside a dark building I shot on the widelux.
I only realised when I came back out that I had dialled the fstop to f11 not f2.8
The film was already being rated at 800 rather than 4…
That’s a fair few stops to recover…
Which it hasn’t 😂
Well not perfectly..

Some more Widelux subway magic, this was from yesterday
500T at 800 f6.
I love how the Widelux can simultaneously show something moving but still. Kinning Park station, with its pink walls

This should see me through a quick round the subway and maybe some stop off points today with the Widelux and the Xpan
2 of the best 35mm pano cameras

I got into a bit of a stooshie with Zero image on Facebook after I called out their appalling tantrum to a customer over a $11 PayPal fee & not shipping to the USA.
They never replied just blocked me then started a new thread calling me out 😂
I posted about it in a Facebook group not the first time

Glasgow Subway.
West Street.
A little bit under exposed which brought out the grain somewhat. But it just makes the whole place look even more creepy :-P

Seen somewhat better days, it might still be open for business mind you 😜.

I made a wee case for the Xpan ii .
I originally cut it for the Xpan, but given the general condition of its paint I wasn’t motivated to finish. Last night I cut the rest & finished
A mixture of leathers.
It is to protect the camera and look a wee bit scruffy.
😂

Given the mafia behaving dementing Don at the top of the pile in Washington is threatening people based on voting intention, I felt it was time to bring the satire cartoons back online

I don't tend to go anywhere near the inside of old buildings, but an open door called to me and in I went.
It is obvious I need to pay more attention to zone focus
Or go back with a 35mm on a 17mm lens
Or pay attention & take a tripod. It was pretty dark.
Or probably both :-P

I was walking & stopped as I saw this.
Heilanman's umbrella glasgow.
The guy was standing at the chippy eating his supper, the other man approached him gesturing that he should feed him as well. his hand was moving too fast to see here on a slow shutter.

I learned something new, when the auto range of the xpan is reached it just notifies you.
It doesn't go any further than that.
So basically no more TV for me in the underground 🤪 I shouldn't be so lazy.

Perfect proportions for guacamole 🥑
Lots of tomato hidden in there as well

I really should have done this initially…. But I didn’t.
I calibrated my bambu labs ps1 for the first time last week
It was like turning a switch on that said shut the f@ck up.
It’s a fraction the noise now only the fans really making any sort of noise, + it can’t be heard downstairs 🤩 #3dprinting

This thing of beauty arrived today 😉
Taking into account factory testing accounting for circa 200 shutter fires this has had about 35 rolls through it.
Apart from some sticky residue on the base from a sticker it is in mint condition.
Now I really need to make a case sharpish
