Norman 202 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 photographically, what turns you on? what do you take when you are in the mood? are you a fresh air person or a slave to chem-photography? me, i am a big fan of women, fresh air, booze and, quite importantly, the work of my peers.

rossb Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Photography is a secondary activity for me. I take pictures like most people. I do develop my B/W film so I guess I am a slave to it. The labs closed and I had a choice of giving up photography or taking on film development. I do not drink the developer but I do recycle it with paints, other chemicals and whatever I may have for Hazardous Materials day at the local dump. I shoot a Mamiya 645 with Arista and Illford B/W films. Family, cycling, hiking and my home take up most of my time. I hiked Half Dome on the 8th and it was a very difficult hike. Turned out to be 19 miles from the parking lot and I had 5000 feet of ascent. At 69y/o I am proud of that hike. I volunteer at Pinnacles National Park on the Search and Rescue team and will be out there today from about 11AM until 5PM. Eyes and Ears on the trail, I carry water for myself and 3 other people. I carry a first aid kit, I can get Law Enforcement, a trail gurney or Cal Fire to do a Helicopter emergency medical lift with my Park radio. We have repeaters so I have communication from anywhere within the park. I have taken Hoist training, Emergency field medicine and am a Registered Nurse so I actually know stuff to be out there. The gear I carry is heavy so I do not take a camera with me. I am out there as a service to the National Parks and for you the park visitor.

SCL Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I suppose if you're using caffenol as a developer drinking it in nominal quantities is ok...stimulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossb Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Speaking of snakes i came across a rattlesnake (Norther Pacific rattlesnake) eating a chipmonk while hiking at Pinnacles National park today. I am a park volunteer so i stayed with the snake to warn the other hikers of the situation. There was a safe route around the snake. In general the park visitors were excited to see the snake.
