Film Camera Week for January 24

[rick_drawbridge]

For the past three days we've been celebrating the American Car with our annual "Cruise Martinborough" gathering of US classics and muscle cars. I was rather involved with other things but managed to get along to the "Show and Shine" when over 300 cars packed into our small town square so the public could stroll among them and talk to owners. In such a situation it's practically impossible to get decent photographs of the cars, so I concentrated on finding details that interested me. I'll post a handful of images for you automobile aficionados

 

The camera was a Minolta Alpha 807si fitted with the Minolta AF 24-105mm f/3.5-4.5D lens, and the film was Arista EDU Ultra 200 developed in PMK Pyro.

Don't often post here, but just put a newly acquired canon Vt thru its paces with some 'Earl Grey/lomography' B&W (Foma?). Anyway, the film cartridge lost one of its seals, so several shots were light struck. Developed in Ilfosol 3, and scanned on an epson flatbed.

 

This is the camera:

 

 

The shots were at my local Australia Day ceremony (country NSW). It was early with a sausage sizzle put on by the Lions/Rotary. While Australia has not avoided the recent resurgence of nationalism, it was attended mainly by older folks (and if you know your actuary tables, you'll know that women outnumbered men quite dramatically). So the shots, which all show the hallmarks of overprocessing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not an easy camera to focus, but light and sturdy. Regards, Arthur

I should add, it was my first time use of the nikkor h. I think it owes a bit to zeiss. The film was a disappointment, apart from falling apart in the camera. I will try it at another iso. Regards Arthur
