Classic Manual Cameras Weekend, June 26, 2015

<p>I rarely take pictures of people, much less well. But this is CMC territory, and the following two are from a Pentax Spotmatic F through a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1/1.4 50mm onto Provia 100 handled by NCPS. Without further ado, The Graduate:</p>

<p>The Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle hosts a street party each year, and one feels particularly out of place without tattoos, piercings and wild makeup. There was this smash-mouth marching band, the leader of which howled with such menace, he was irresistible material. </p>

<p>Aha! I worked from home today, so it just FELT like Friday already. Apologies to all for premature posting!</p>

<p>Brad, in some parts of the world it is already Friday so no apology needed. I'll probably post some photos within a few hours.</p>

<p>Hello everyone. One might "forgive" Brad for jumping the gun....Seattle is "suffering" from 80+ degree sunshine, and it will get hotter in days to come....so I dragged up a shot from the 70's....really "cool", for him and other's to get the body temps lower (I hope). Shot is up in the Sierra Nevada (Calif.) mountains. Taken when I had the energy (and youthfull dumbness) to drag the 4x5 everywhere, even on snow shoe hikes. Calumet 4x5, 210mm Caltar, Tri-X @ 250asa, Luna meter and D-76 developing. V800 scan. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Lovely B&W <strong>Bill</strong>, and nice informal images, <strong>Brad</strong>. Yes, I've finally established that the new day at CMC currently begins at 4.0 pm. our time, so we're 18 hours ahead. Here are a couple from a Voigtlander BL I was trying out, with the 50mm f/2.8 Color-Skopar lens. Arista EDU 100, PMK Pyro.</p><div></div>

<p>No.2</p><div></div>

<p>OOps! I meant 16 hours ahead of CMC, of course... Here's another from the same series. Nice lens, that Color-Skopar.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken with the Rolleiflex, using a recently acquired Rolleinar adaptor to enable close focusing. Film is TriX, developed in Xtol 1+1</p><div></div>

<p>Another from the same roll, using the Rolleiflex and close focusing:</p><div></div>

<p>And one from earlier this spring, Leica M6, Delta 100 rated at 50, reduced developing time using Xtol 1+1</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a few from some color I had processed and scanned by Dwaynes.</p><div></div>

<p>Even though f3.5 isn't very wide, in macro range DOF is still very shallow.</p><div></div>

<p>Last one. Google Chrome seems to slow my netbook down to dial up speed so its taking a while to load. But I can no longer see images here if I use Internet Explorer.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello again. Me ??, sit around and wait for hours in the lobby while my "new" truck has warranty work done ??....Boring !! I took off with my CMC (Agfa Record III) for a Walk-About..... Several hours later I have had an excellent breakfast at a new (to me) Mom & Pop dinner, made several new friends who I am afraid are now infected with the CMC "bug", and had 3 exposed rolls of film (400 Delta) that got developed (510 Pyro) and now, scanned with the V600. Enjoy the two here. Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Hot spot for the rancher's and gardeners.</p><div></div>

<p>Very pleased with all the posts I see. I think the graduate is a great shot. @RickD a lowly BL. I shoot the Skopar on a few similar models... but your PMK shots are so so .. great . MC I love your pun on old glass! Mike excellent shot wide open.. 3.5 was once considered fast and comparatively speaking is anything above F8 is pushing it I think. Some days the CMC bug bites and you shoot all your film. I really like that last shot with the sky and the building contrasted. <br />I don't remember the last time I posted? It was recently right? If I posterd these already then sorry HEre I've used 6X9 Bessa I w/triplet and two from the 35mm Voigtlaender Vitessa 1000 with 42mm Tessar that has a matching yellow filter.</p><div></div>

This is further downstream a bit. Who needs lawn mowers? Vitessa 1000 w/yellow filter<div></div>

One more from the Vitessa Another View towards the Rhine River<div></div>

Right the self imposed limit is three right! I just remember I shot a roll of slides/Diapositive .. Ok.. then

next time!
