W/NW Medium Format Photo of the Month: May 2015

<p>Please post your medium format photos for May. Feel free to include as much or as little information about the photo as you like. Photographs can be from any time. I suffered severe disappointed yesterday when I realized that I had ruined 3 rolls of film I took on a recent trip to West Africa. I was using a venerable Yashica Mat 124G, and oily residue leaked from the shutter onto the taking lens. I took the thing apart yesterday and cleaned it, but it is too late from my West Africa pics....:-(</p>

<p>Because I don't have any other photos, I'm forced to start off with one of these shoddy images. Please forgive me. I look forward to seeing your medium format photos for May! Yashica MAT 124G (w/oily lens) and Kodak Porta 160NC 220:</p><div></div>

<p>E. bummer on your West Africa photos.</p>

<p>Giovanni - I love those colors, is the second photo the Fuji Reala?</p>

<p>Thanks Brad! Yes, both the second and the fourth are Fuji Reala. Unfortunately my last few rolls. I started shooting Ektar now together with Portra.<br /> Two more, the first Ektar and the other Portra: <br /> <a title="Piraeus, waterfrond by Giovanni Cappai, on Flickr" href=" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8891/17698690899_bd55dc343c_c.jpg" alt="Piraeus, waterfrond" width="800" height="262" /></a></p>

<p>This private cemetery in Rockville Maryland is the oldest African American cemetery in the state of Maryland and is a state Historic Site. The people interned here are freed slaves and their descendents, with the oldest marker (shown in the first photo below) dating back to 1889.</p>

<p>E. ... that's absolutely heartbreaking! Reminds me of a night in 2001 I dropped my Pentax ME Super on my hotel room floor in Xian China and the camera back popped open; luckily it was near the end of the roll and the images on the wound film were still saved, but I still lost about 10 images. I'll never forget that feeling....</p>

<p>Hello everyone. The four solar panels that totally power my off-grid home. They are centered in my 40x40 garden area. Taken while I was "test driving" a "new" Agfa Record III. Ilford Delta 400 @ 250, Pilot meter, 2.75ml 510-Pyro @ 22m. V600 scan. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for the commiseration guys.</p>
