Running some B&W film. Happy to say my repair on the 135mm and aggressive cleaning (dremel involved) a cheap 400mm worked. Sad to say lost a few frames on the 35mm due to poor reel loading and developer not reaching certain areas. While the 120 film loaded fine when resolved issue of defective reel, had some inadvertent double exposures forgetting to advance the film.

This one is from the Canon AE-1, Ilford HP4 125ISO. Initial test series walking across the street, rather than the later sunrise shoot on the same roll where also took the 1926 vintage Kodak Pocket Camera #1 with it's monster 6x9 negative. Also took the Sony with the color shots posted the past couple of days.

Will be more "next month". The hardest part was forgetting to focus that both cameras required as really spoiled with today's cameras. On the first roll with the Kodak guessed at exposure where this roll downloaded a light meter ap. Nice to have, and far cheaper than a Sekonic. Since will have with me on the phone may be more inclined to run full Manual on the Sony.

Handheld 0.6s with a 4 stop ND filter. It was a bright mid-day, so not ideal for long exposure. Someday I’ll try to get out here closer to evening.

That is actually pretty amazing for over half a second handheld. You have a very steady hand sir.

Well done!

Yes, I use the myLightMeter for my half frame camera that has a broken meter.

I’d love to claim the steadiness, but I’m not really that stable. It’s the great IBIS on the E-M5, which makes 1s pretty easy. I’ve been able to get up to 8s Handheld if I am able to lean on something. 9mm also helps, as UWA is more forgiving.

Yeah, finally saw a this year's spring iris on my early-morning walkabout today (in local park) -- late blooming this year, due to our terrible spring -- nice to see, a favourite flower of mine.

Sunrise, Zabriskie Point. On some days, as the sun rises above the Amargosa Range to the east, the first sunlight to touch the eastern side of Death Valley sets Manly Beacon, the triangular peak at right, aglow.

Canon 5D MkIII, Canon 24-70mm lens, 1/500 @ f/5.6, ISO 250.
