Film Camera Week for July 28

One of the theaters I go to occasionally; the Silver Spring Theater built in 1938. Over the years has gone thru several renovations - inside at least. The main theater however still retains many of the original Art Deco features - and a added 70mm projector. (Currently 'Dunkirk' is showing). Also shows old classics, independent and foreign flicks. (Nikon one-touch/ gold 200 expired)[ATTACH=full]1200915[/ATTACH]

Our old theater could not keep up with the tech and now it just sits empty. Once in a while there is an acting club in town and they do a play in there.

Mono Lake, Nikon N80, Kodak Gold 200 (expired most likely)

 

Nice shots. I have always meant to go to Bodie and Mono Lake but just never seem to. I have a Nikon N80 and a couple of AF lenses for it but was going to send them off to KEH this week to clear them out. I think the camera is very nice but I seem to have moved on to medium format and currently have more camera's then I have space to keep them. I will always have my FM2n however. That photo of mono lake is awesome.

Interesting idea, using the sign. What does it say? And, is that snow?

Some excellent work, so far this weekend! In a rare sunny afternoon I got out with the Mamiya 645 1000S loaded with Ilford HP5 Plus, and fitted with the 55-110mm Mamiya Sekor f/4.5 lens. I'm really impressed by this MF zoom; not only is it deadly sharp but it's practically distortion-free at any focal length. Here are a few samples; with luck I might have something more to offer later in the weekend. Developer was PMK Pyro, scans from am Epson V700 Photo using Silverast SE software.

Thanks very much. My camera has definitely served me well through all these years. Although it doesn't do auto exposure with the AI-S/E lenses, that wasn't too big a deal for me. I am just about to send a bunch of film rolls for developing that I shot couple of years back.

I like the bike. I guess that is a light generator on the front hub?

Here are a couple more I got scanned tonight.

Again from the Rolleiflex and Bergger Pancro 400 film developed in HC-110

Questions for you all, I seem to focus on the second item when I have a line of objects, what do you guys do?

one more for tonight

Questions for you all, I seem to focus on the second item when I have a line of objects, what do you guys do?

I usually use the old rule of thumb, the 1/3rd-2/3rd rule. Depth of field extends one third of the distance from the point of focus towards the camera, and two-thirds beyond. Of course, the smaller the aperture being used, the greater the DOF will be, in both directions

The film curled up quite a bit so not happy with that, but these two scanned very easy very little adjustment

Maybe Rick will tell if his film curled, this was not side to side by end to end.

Don, I found the Bergger Pancro400 certainly wasn't any more curly than,say, HP5. I find most of the films I use have a slight but manageable tendency to curl lengthwise, but it's the ones that curl or cup from side to side that I hate. Arista EDU Ultra 100, an extremely thin film, just lies there, inert.

Here are a few from a second roll through the Mamiya 645 1000s using the 55-110mm Mamiya Sekor f/4.5 lens, HP5 developed in PMK Pyro. I'm waiting for another pack of the Bergger film to arrive from Freestyle.

Thank you , yes a hub dynamo made by Sturmey-Archer . Interesting fact is that this company started manufacturing these in 1930 . Another fact is that even is called dynamo is not really one , but a magneto that creates AC .

I really like the old bikes. Always wanted a Raleigh 3 speed with the mechanical brake rods which was before the usual flexible cable used today. I ride 3 times a week these days. I have a nice 20 mile loop that I ride over and over. Last Saturday I rode on the Saturday morning bike shop ride. which is a variation of the same loop. It's just different because the starting point is at the bike shop. I did not go on the bike shop ride this morning as I did the Pinnacles Volunteer thing yesterday and I am a bit tired from the hike out there. But after breakfast I am going to do the 20 miler at a slower speed then the bike shop guys ride at and then we are going out for lunch at a local Farm that has very fun venue for lunch on the weekends. I am taking my camera with me as they have some cool stuff that I should be able to take some photos of. I will ask permission however since it's all private property and all. I have Delta 400 in the 645 and am excited to see how it performs and hope to post something up here later today from that roll. I will take a shot of my bike sometime this week and post it. I had it built for me 5 years ago in a custom frame shop. I am an excellent bike mechanic so I built the wheels myself and installed the Shimano group set. Basically I had the frame built and the did the rest myself. Young riders do not like my bike because it's steel. Kind of like digital guys do not like the camera's we shoot.

Same for me. 1/3rd into the scene if no specific subject in the scene. Grain of salt is the thing here as I am just an old hack taking photos.

Stalking around one of the biggest Marinas on the Peninsula and found an area I had not visited before. Very large area dedicated to Commerial boats and Haul-out & Marine Service companies. Interesting place & will visit again with better camera & Lens options.
