Weekend Photography Plans: What are you up to?

Took my Nikon F for a walk in the mall...we didn't see anything worth noting...but I was able to get my wife her birthday present...
 
It is now Saturday here in Cairo. Ex-President Mubarek received a life sentence this morning. Not much else is happening here :)

What are you doing this weekend?
 
It seems that a second round revolution has started in Egypt. I better be careful, but it is so tempting to go to Tahrir Square and join the masses.
 
Wow raid, if you do then please be careful!

We have the Tour de Luxembourg bike race this weekend. I went to the steepest hill on my bike and my backpack loaded with my OM2, 85/2, & 135/2.8 and some HP5+ to try my hand at some old school manual focus sports photography in B&W. I got right up close to the riders a couple of times but as an experienced rider know not to get too close :)

Tomorrow is the finale in Luxembourg City, and I'll go but more for good street shooting. I don't expect to get as close to the action due to the crowds.

Cheers,
Rob
 
I still am unsure what to do Rob.
When I see the masses on TV, I feel like driving over there.
Then I think of my family.
 
WELL.

I woke up early to see if it was worth going out to central for the Queen's Jubilee but it's RAINING and COLD and UGLY.

I still want to go though *sobs* but I doubt there'd be space for me to photograph, it's too crowded now perhaps.

But I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow so definitely will shoot more over the next few days.
 
I will be scanning 72 Fuichromes I picked up yesterday at Landmark Photo, one of the last remaining camera shops between El Paso and Yuma.
 
My nephew had his wedding. Big familiy party, most of them from south Italy. It started Friday evening with only the familiy. Saturday was the official day with all the guests. The weather changed to very sunny by then: My nephew was very lucky, given we we have endless rain north of the Alps since Saturday night.
Because there was two hired photographer ladies (with the usual Canikon zoom gear) I could enjoy the ceremony, the banquet and the party as a guest. Nonetheless I put a few rolls through my Hexar RF (HP5+@1600 and my first Delta 3200 on Friday, then Ektar 100 for daylight and Superia 1600 for the Saturday party).
 
This was a rainy weekend, with 13.5 inches in one day alone. Parking lots turned into lakes, with water reaching the top of car doors. No photography for me. I am not interested in photography of distressed people, and the light was not good. I did take for a friend and his children some snapshots with his Bessa R and J3.

What have you been doing this weekend?
 
I am finishing off 3 rolls in three Nikon Rf's - left over from the trip back from Europe. Also starting to process 50+ rolls from the trip. 48-49 rolls of Arista 400 Premium and a handful of Orwo Un 54 100 iso movie stock. Came back late yesterday so jetlag is still a bit prominent. Might just do 10 tonight. From experience I know that film processing and jetlag does not mix well!
 
Not much rain here,

Spent a few hours scanning film.

There was a small accident at the intersection in front of my house on Saturday. A young girl was knocked off her bike by a car. No harm done thankfully.
I shamefully admit my first thought was "Where's my camera?" instead of "Where's my phone" when I heard the screeching brakes and the thud. Didn't take the camera outside. And the phone wasn't needed.
In the end I just held up traffic for a minute so they could clear the intersection.
The young lady driving the car had gotten a bit of a scare. The girl just shrugged at the whole thing.

Sunday I went out for a long walk with my Leica M3.
 
We had an RF meet in Manchester on Sat.
The city was quite and I only managed a few frames with an M3 / 50 Sonnar. Film was APX400S.
Good to see everybody got back safely.
