#believeinfilm #SHD50
I shot a short roll of SHD50 at an EI of 25 and developed it in HC110 to see how it developed. First pass, I think that 5 min in HC110 1:31 @ 5min is a good start. What was unexpected is that the color response is off and that contrast is high. Details in the alt-text. /1

#photochat - A4 - I share work here on BlueSky, and sometimes in Facebook. I have a Flickr account, but don't market it. I am working on a NeoCities website, but it is no where ready for any guests.

#photochat - A3 - I import photographs into LightRoom and do my edits there. If I am importing scanned film, I will invert negatives within LightRoom using the 'Negative Lab Pro' plugin. I have PhotoShop, but the only time that I use it is to process trichromes.

#photochat - A1: I rarely plan a photoshoot. Generally it is spontaneous. Sometimes I will go somewhere with a plan to take pictures for a project, but there is not a lot of planning ahead.

Get the picture when you can.
I was on the pack porch one morning a month or so ago and saw a spiderweb in the sun. Got a few pictures with the m43 Oly. The one below is one of them.
The next day the web was gone. Get your pictures when you see them, time erases all.

#lonesomecone can't yoga, doesn't get any wine.
In front of a local yoga and wine shop, a single traffic cone stands guard.
Leica IIc, ELMAR 50mm f/3.5, Kodak Gold 200.
I am quite happy with the colors.

Took the Leica IIc and the ELMAR 50mm f/3.5 lens to Garner NC. Kodak Gold 200 was the film of choice. Negatives were converted with NLP. I am very happy with the combination.

Inspired by Panchro_Kym, @panchromatic.bsky.social, I took my D750 and three of my Nikon Series E primes out for a walk Saturday. The lenses work well on the D750 and pictures were made.

Four pictures a day late for 6/20.
Camera is a Argoflex EF TLR on FomaPan100 (respooled).
I had to work on 6/20 this year, so went out on the 21st. Dets in the Alt Text.

#crappycommiecameraparty #Zorki1
Yesterday I took the Zorki1 (Leica II clone), with the Industar 22 (ELMAR wannabe) out with a roll of Kodak Gold 200 film.
We started the day at the 'Historic Oak View County Park', and I finished the roll of film at home with one of Terri's potted flowers.

Took the FED2, made in Ukraine, out with a roll of FomaPan 100 made in the Czech Republic on the first day of the Crappy Commie Camera Party 2025. A combination that I use often.
The three pictures were made in Wendell, North Carolina. Details in the AltText.

#argus #believeinfilm Here's three pictures that I made with an Argus A2F, a pre-WWII 35mm camera made in Ann Arbor MI. It includes a focusing helix and can focus down to 18 inches. I have not tried that. Arista EDU 100 developed with HC110.
