Behind the Salon

 

We're falling behind! Here's one for Monday 21st. Taken to demonstrate the tonal range of the Bergger Pancro 4000 film when developed in PMK Pyro. Camera was the Mamiya 645 1000s with a 55-110mm Mamiya Sekor f/4.5 Lens.

 

Zones

 

That Bergger is looking very nice. . guess I will haul out my 135-36 at the races. . . Is that your tri-bander in the background? . N7MOB here. Bill

Is that your tri-bander in the background?

 

No, it 's the property of an old bloke downtown, going on 90 and still a ham radio enthusiast, apparently. You might find the Pancro 400 just a tad gritty in the 35mm format...

 

There's a bigger version here: Zones

For the 22 nd.

 

 

Minolta Himatic 7S AGFA Vista 400

Partial solar eclipse, Minolta SRT 101, Tamron 500 f8 reflex, solar filter and Tri-X, cropped

Hires Root Beer, Georgetown (Seattle). Pentax MX, 50mm f/1.7, Velvia 50. There's nothing like it when Velvia knocks out the color.

The silky smoothness you always seem to get out of every camera/film combination is just amazing. I'm curious, though. I don't see anything in this one that I'd consider Zone 10 (pure white in the zone system I'm familiar with). Am I just not seeing it?

Possibly there's nothing pure white in the location. The picket fence was cream, as was the shed door. Possibly the clouds were the closest to white, but who would trust a cloud? I'm actually not a follower of the Zone System in any slavish sense; I just try to preserve detail in every area of the image, including white.

I'm not a fan of blindly following any system of rules, either. Perhaps I read too much into the title. I also don't have any darkroom skills, so I can only print from digital, and I find it necessary to "crush" the blacks and whites a bit in order to get any snap out of my prints. That could mean we have different priorities. Don't misunderstand, though. I wish I could produce the results you produce.

Sunset, with wolves howling a mile away. Nikon FE or FM2n (I forget which), 50mm f/1.8, probably Provia 100.

 

For Saturday 26th. Fed 2 with Canon 50/2.8, FOMA 400 in PMK.

 

MILO.

 

Oops I was too early. I thought it's the 27th today :confused: Edited August 26, 2017 by MarcelRomviel

ok...for the 27th. Nikon FA, HP5, Xtol/Rodinal. Stanley Park, Vancouver.

Moonrise, Lake Huvsgul, Mongolia. Nikon FM2n, 200mm F/4 @ F/8, 1 sec, Tripod. Fuji Velvia 50.

 

For the 29th.

 

 

Minolta Himatic 7S AGFA Vista 400

For the 30th. . a bit early for sure. Not surprising are the number of farms in this area that are "Co-Ops" of younger people who have pooled capital & labor for their dreams. That effort shows when they bring their labors to the market. This woman has a power smile! Fed-2/Jupiter-8, UFX100, OA & V800 scan. Enjoy, Bill
