Well, just tried again for the third time. This time with just one image. It seemed to upload and went into some kind of staging area and my other ones I was trying to upload a few days ago were there! So I hit Process, and now the album shows "no thumbnail" photos and the images are not showing up.

I give up. This is ridiculous.

but did the crotch shot turn out like you thought it would? :D Are going to post your shots at your Flickr site, Rich?

Yay! Glad you can upload. Is this 25 ISO film? I like the crotch shot. I think it's actually well done. I can't say the woman is dressed for shooting, but she's going after the shot she wanted and damn everything else! More power to her!

The "crotch" shot was Fortepan 200. Yeah, she really HAD to have that shot. She was shooting the busker in front of the Ferry Building who sits on the large median playing the drums on pickle buckets and pots and pans. Before this she must have shot about 12 or more images of him from other various angles (from a standing position), then starting to leave, then looked back, told her friends to hold on a moment and went back, dropped into this position and shot another 4-5 like this. I was far from the only one who noticed. It was almost like that moment when the sun first peaks over the horizon in the AM and hits your eyes. It was that "bright"! ;-)
 
Rich, I've got the roll of Fortepan you gave me loaded in my SLR and was shooting with it last weekend, mostly test shots with my recently acquired PC lens. I forgot to rate it at 100, as you suggested, and shot it at the box. Still, looking forward to the results. I'm probably going to use D76 1:1 (maybe D23).

Supposedly it's the same stuff as Bergger 200 and I got very nice results from that, shot at 200, but in medium format:

However it's graininess is much more apparent in 35mm and seems to give "noisier" shadows if under-exposed at all. I find 100 helps a bit in that. But you should be fine at 200 just be sure not to under-develop. I forgot what I developed those RFF meet-up day shots in, I think it was either D-76 or HC-110. I can check when I get home tonight if you want.

Oh, and you can see my developer used and the times and temps on the titles of those images shot with Bergger 200 at the above Flickr link.
 
I'm back home, have had the film developed, & there are only these 3 worth posting. This is ISO 250 Kodak cine film which has to be processed by a company that does that type of film, as it will ruin a regular lab’s chemistry. I’ll repeat myself, and say I had a great time meeting you guys, though I particularly missed Randy & would have liked to meet Roland & others who couldn’t make it. Thanks for showing me the art institute (?). I got my best shot there - will post eventually.
 
Thanks for posting those, Guy. Again, my apologies for not being able to host your visit. And gee, it sure looks like you guys covered some ground that day!

Best,
Randy

I think that middle photo is Rich's telling of how he got the infamous crotch shot. Nice shots, Guy.
