randy_cooprider1 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This week the clouds were moving around in an interesting fashion so I got some of this captured. The first image was taken with no filter then with my polarized sunglasses used to darken the sky. No post processing aside from cropping and resizing. The second was of a corn field under threatening skies and the last was of a yard ornament just before the rain. Any cloud weather pics you might have had this week? Or any other ( up to three with longest side no more than 700 pixels) you would like to exhibit. Post when ready.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member69643 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 <p>Neat third shot, Randy. That isn't the home of former Buccaneers quarterback Vinny Testeverde is it? :)</p> <p>For me it's an old favorite camera, a Minolta X-700, being used to test out this Agfa CT Presica slide film that showed up in the local camera store. It's almost certainly Fuji Provia 100F, and I shot a comparison roll on that film to verify. Yep. Looks like it to me!</p> <p>My daughter, showing off her first fish...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_smith110 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 <p>Hi again all. Crazy hot weather out here in California. Reminds me of Texas. Wish we had those clouds out here Randy.</p> <p>And since you posted up some kid photos Patrick I will follow suit with some photos of my daughter taken before the heat wave hit. Now all we do is sit around inside and watch the birds plummet to the ground as they burst into flames in mid air.</p> <p><strong>NEX 7 w/speedbooster</strong><br /> <strong>Yashica ML 50/1.7</strong><br /> <br /> <em>Ummmm, daddy?

randy_cooprider1 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Patrick, don't know where Vinnie lives but he might have a ball like this. I used to tell my daughter that I would have to get out my razor and shave the fish we caught because they were not big enough to filet. David, those clouds have dumped about 4 inches of rain in the last 48 hours. All the kids are cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 <p>I didn't have time to post until today so I'm a day late! Went to the Gilmore Car Museum on Friday with my father-in-law and some friends.

randy_cooprider1 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Michael, looked up the Silver King tractor since it was new to me and found an interesting history on the web. Also the pictures were great. The old Shell oil pumps bring back memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 <p>Glad you found it interesting Randy! The gas pumps are part of a complete Shell Oil station from the 30's/40's that was re-installed on the Gilmore grounds.</p> <p>Mike : D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardstanbury Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 <p>Wow: some serious agricultural machinery there!</p> <p>I'm running late too, but here are some film shots from Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago - Dynax 9 with a Sigma 18mm AF lens; FP4+ developed in Microphen.</p> <p><a title="Old College, Universiry of Edinburgh by FlickrDelusions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3801/9163386259_47ce3c96df_c.jpg" alt="Old College, Universiry of Edinburgh" width="536" height="800" /></a><br> Old College, University of Edinburgh</p> <p><a title="Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh /2 by FlickrDelusions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2888/9165608834_269804ed3d_c.jpg" alt="Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh /2" width="542" height="800" /></a><br> Part of the Scottish Parliament</p> <p><a title="Scott Monument, front by FlickrDelusions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7348/9165605194_70d7fc0954_c.jpg" alt="Scott Monument, front" width="800" height="557" /></a><br> The Scott monument from the front</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 <p>Nice shots Howard! Did you get your certificate for climbing those 287 steps to the highest platform in the Scott Monument?</p> <p>Mike : D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardstanbury Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks, Michail: I have to admit though, the angle of view shows you how high I got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_cooprider1 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Howard that lens looks very sharp. With full frame does it need to focus very often since the depth of field should be large? Like the framing on #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardstanbury Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 <p>Thanks, Randy - the focus does search a bit, but with a small aperture nearly everything seems to be in focus. Microphen is a speed-boosting developer and so I think it makes FP4 look grainier than it should. I'll be trying a different developer next tome and with luck I'll get smoother results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 <p>I wonder how Diafine would work with the FP4?</p> <p>Mike : D</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_cooprider1 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Mike, loved Diafine and Acufine but don't have darkroom access anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 <p>Thanks Randy. I've got Diafine but have never gotten around to mixing it up. I've been doing color neg developing using a Jobo C-41 kit and have been pleased with the results. I want to start shooting black and white film again and want to try the Diafine. I used to use Ilford Ilfosol 3.</p> <p>Mike : D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardstanbury Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 <p>I haven't tried that, Mike. I just bought some HC-110 which could last me for 100 films ...</p> <p>Neither have I tried 'proper' C41 chemistry - I'm nervous about the precision required. But if you look in last week's thread you'll see a couple of colour neg pictures I processed in Microphen.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffeym Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 <p>You know, I remembered those pictures but I guess that I didn't pay attention that they were color negs. They came out really good.</p> <p>Mike : D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
