6-20 Day Get-Up

[farlymac]

It's kind of cheating, posting this here, but technically it is a rangefinder. For 6-20 Day on Flickr, I chose this year to use a Kodak Tourist with the 200 Speed Flash Kodamatic shutter, 4.5/105 Anaston lens, Kodak 31.5mm to Series VI adapter with a Spiratone Orange filter and Tiffen hood, with the addition of a Widor rangefinder. Then I re-rolled some 120 T-Max 100, and shot it at f11 and 1/100. Pictures to follow later.

Could have used a hand strap on this baby, as there isn't much area for finger gripping.

I came too close this year, Hans. The time frame was four days (20th to 23rd) to allow for inclement weather, and peoples work schedules. My original intent was to use a Brownie Bulls-Eye, but I couldn't find it! Need to do another reorganization.

Argust Day: That day in August that corresponds to the number of the year, this year being the 13th, next year the 14th. Any Argus branded or manufactured camera allowed.

Disaster! by br1078phot, on Flickr
A proton storm engulfs local eatery! That, or I've got some massive light leaks in my bellows. Thought I had checked it a while back, but I was wrong.

I was able to save some of this image by cropping. Still a bit of haze from the leaks.

I did some cropping, and a bit of exposure correction, but couldn't really save this one.


Next year I'll make sure the camera is ready for it's close-up.

I like that image with the Proton storm very much !

Tried all kinds of filters but never managed to get such a nice sky ;-)
