California (Bay Area, Northern) September 18 Chinatown Beer & Gear --

[PMCC]

I created a set on flickr of some shots from y'day's beer & gear, here:

Very nice stuff! Good catch of RG smiling -- famously hates to be photographed (witness protection program).

Kent, Steve, Sug - most interesting and amusing stuff. Amazing considering it was people soup out there. Speedy delivery!

Here's some I shot. Because I got there later, I only shot a couple of rolls. I still need to clean up some of these.

All- Popped up a few more shots, including some more mug shots from the restaurant and our meeting with Mike. In hindsight I really enjoyed shooting the Noct. At first the throw was not conducive to street but as the crowds slowed down due to the congestion things started to go well. If you see crazy Bokeh it's the Noct at either 1.0 or 1.4 most likely.

Ray- My fav of your set is "Cigarette Break", very nice.

PS- Let's make sure we're all "contacts" on Flickr as well if you have an account.

+1 . Useful in case any of us needs help making bail.

Kent, nice touch the waitress rushing past in the kitchen behind the table littered with Leicas and Mamiyas.
No idea what I was trying to demonstrate with all the hand measurements.

This is all so competitive getting pictures up so fast.
So bowing to peer pressure I've just finished putting the single roll of Tri-X through the developer. I would normally wait till I had at least two.
The NPH will go to the lab tomorrow.

If that Fuji X-100 was had been leaked before saturday, it would certainly have been the hot topic at the table.

Donald,

No hurry on the pics, I have an unfair advantage in speed as I was shooting the M8 for these. My M7 still holds the Kodachrome from the day and it will be some time before they're posted.

That Fuji is very interesting and on the right track as to how I'd like to see an M finder one day. It would have been quite the conversation piece, you're right!

Three quick shots from the M8. The Tri-X will have to wait.

Some good old school communist propaganda there Robert - like the inclusion of the Transamerica pyramid.

Added some images from the B&W roll to the flickr group. Still to take the color stuff to the lab.
All on Tri-x with the 28mm Summicron.

( if only there was a way to post inline here :bang: )

Looks like you guys had a blast! What a turn out. I shot two weddings on that Saturday and I am still in recovery. SLR + 18-200 + flash makes for a sore neck. Eegh.

Love the group shot too. Mike looks so.... Peaceful.

Nice ones Donald!
