[BUTLER]

Your style is cool....
Is the last one a self portrait?
Very Nice

Sure is. In the reflection of a dirty-as-Hell SUV on the roof of a parking garage. In Burbank.

Well, I have learned that sometimes there is a dirth in ideas when you photograph very close to home... You know, Photographed this, done that :bang:

But, I managed a few anyway, Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 C-Sonnar T* on G1 @ f/1.5 with a ND .6, ISO 100

Joe, are you in? what rig?

missed this before...

no, not in.
i could never stick with one rig for a year...tortuous for me.

 

[emraphoto]

so, a few for the critics.

i recently jumped on board with an agency that lets me do whatever the hell i want so i am shooting a whole piece on it.

the personal work has bled into the 'professional work'. or is it the other way around?

Here a few from a day at stop lights:

G1/ZM 50mm f/1.5

But, wait, there's more....
I will be adding B&W to the mix as soon as my Developing gear gets here, and I shoot though a few rolls.
Now, that's what I'm talking about .

Oct 23, 2010... Dear Diary

Well, I am now the proud owner of my 1st Developed B&W Tmax 100.... Drying as I type
I used my Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 of course...

I am excited to be souping B&W again... after 41 years!

 

[helen.HH]

Beautifully CRISP sonnar shots
Congrats on your 41 year later
developing Reunion.... ...

 

[matthewm]

Well I suppose I'll play along. Except I have to shoot stuff for work all the time so I won't count that. But for the rest of it, I'll use my Bessa R2a + 50mm f/1.1 Nokton. I just got it and threw a roll of Ektar 100 in it. Looking forward to seeing the images.

Loving you guys' photo blogs and flickrs, etc.

Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your creativity.

OK...
Here is the 1st image
A classic 1967 Benz... At f/5.6 I think

F/2 I think

A few from my 2nd roll I developed
I seem to be getting better with subject matter and B&W film -- I hope.. The Process has always been fun for me... I know developing isn't much work, But, seeing the roll hanging and seeing that you nailed the exposure at least, is exiting to me. I have souped rolls in my far past that sucked, and where usable., Always a bummer when you see blank or black or very badly exposed frames...
I am dealing with micro-particle tap water issue, but, I will get through it.

OK, Nuf babbling,

Life is Grand

I propose a one year, one camera, NO lens challenge.
Only the purest of the pure may follow me.

So... A pin hole attachment?

I could get one for a Leica M mount...

Cool Idea..

 

[DNG]

Well, a few changes on my part,
I am going to start to bulk load Delta 100 Pro,
I am getting a charcoal filter for my kitchen sink faucet.

I had a chat with a nice guy who also walking in the same park I was walking in... happens all the time ;-)

I got some nice images... but with a 28mm (I know, I know)
