FD Photos for July

<p>MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa of Spain, a reluctant hero:</p><div></div>

<p>By contrast, Valentino Rossi is mobbed by fans everywhere... <br /> For me a very tough shot with low sun angle, reflective white panels, shade, guess pre-focus, and hoping for a quick opening between the many heads and hands. And don't forget to stop that lens down!<br>

Thank God for the inherent forgiveness of black & white films.<br /> By the way, one roll of Ilford 100 came back empty courtesy of a loading error by yours truly...so be careful out there.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's one I posted earlier...T90 with 35-105mm f/3.5.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm baaack! Beautiful photos everyone. A lot of talent in this forum. Just keeps getting better.</p>

<p>Kayam, thanks for keeping the thread going while I was away.</p>

<p>Below are a few taken in July with my F1n and newly acquired FD 35mm f2, Chrome Nose Concave. The film was Arista Premium 400.</p><div></div>

<p>Beautiful photos Tony. What film did you use?</p>

<p>Hey Stuart, Did you use a filter with those 3 B&Ws, or is your new atomic 35 that yellow?</p>

<p>Sorry, I forgot to add that I did use a yellow filter. :)</p>

<p>Hi Stuart, I used Ektar 100 for these. Love the MG's, is one of those yours?</p>

<p>Hi Tony,</p>

<p>Yes, one of them is mine. My wife and I are growing old disgracefully. :)</p>

<p>Good to see you back <strong>Stuart</strong>, with such fine photographs! Excellent tones... Nice atmospheric seascapes, <strong>Tony</strong>. My coast looks quite a lot bleaker than that. Wonderful creative work, <strong>Paul</strong>.<br>

Just to keep the ball rolling here are a couple more from the film I recently put through the old AE-1.</p>

<p>Winter Window</p><div></div>

<p>Morning Glasses</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Rick, I love these two, that window shot (which is near as dammit to monochrome) just says winter.<br>

Our winters here are really fairly benign, in fact along with Autumn, is my favourite time of the year.</p>

<p>Thanks, <strong>Tony</strong>; it's amazing what you see when you're unloading the dishwasher! The window says it all; I can understand why so many Kiwis migrate to your coast in winter...</p>

<p>If I manage the upload process here are two images I took on July 1 with a Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on a Panasonic DMC-G1. The first is the full frame, the second is a 100% crop. I think I can get more out of the combination with increased familiarity, I just acquired both the camera and the lenses.</p>

<div></div>

<p>ooops, guess it takes one photo per post, only. Here's the 100% crop.</p><div></div>
