Lats weekend was a good shoot and post. Let's do it again. Shoot 'em, develop 'em, and post 'em. I am going to the annual catfish festival and softball tournament and the Viet nam memorial moving wall is on display. The weather is supposed to be warm so the shorty shorts should be out 😛 😀
 
I will try to test the Fuji Natura with B&W film, and I will test some Fuji 200 film recently acquired. Depending on the weather tomorrow, I may go with the family to the beaches and then walk around the old downtown areas in Pensacola.
 
I have been shooting yesterday, trying a few portraits at a designers exhibition. I did not have my Bessa R because need some worh (hope done in short time). For this reason I used my pure Manual Nikon FM2, feeling strange because I was probably the only one shooting film ! Even black and white ! Around me only bits, bytes and microchips etc etc !
 
I got out yesterday with a "new to me" Hexar AF (my kind of point and shoot 🙂 ), here are a few...

"The weather is supposed to be warm so the shorty shorts should be out" Not here: the wind chill has the temperature feeling like 21F at 11:00 am.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh it is supposed to be around 80 and partly cloudy. I feel for you
 
The wind was blowing at the beach, and while there were hardly any people there for the beach, there was a gathering of people having a wedding ceremony. I took three rolls of film of my family, close to the water, while the two girls were playing with some sand and buckets. I used this time a Canon T90 with the awesome 80-200/4L lens and fujicolor 200 film. I missed the perspective of such a zoom lens, and it is rewarding to go back to your SLR systems while enjoying the "life" of a rangefinder photographer.
 
Raid I have the Vivitar Series 1 70-210 the constant f 3.5 and the Canon 80-300 constant f4 and both of them are awesome. Plus I absolutely loe the T90. I have three and even though I love my F1n and the A1 they rarely get used.

PS, I got a Vivitar 90-180 off E**y and am enjoying it

This lens is really a heavy-weight. It is an amazing piece of equipment, with marvelous design and built. Needless to say that it weighs a ton. Building such a lens today will cost [in my opinion] at least $1000.
 
Here's one shot from my Saturday walk.
An old windmill in a local field.
Taken with a Kiev 4a, J12 on a really terrible film called Likon 200.

Drove around a bit this PM but only shots I took were after I got back to the house! Weather was gray although now clearing up a bit 6:30PM. Not as cold as Victor in T.O. but a 40F not exactly a great shooting day either.

Tomorrow should be sunny and warmer but I want to get in a bike ride. My seasonal dilemma begins - after 25 years I've yet to figure out how to combine photography with distance-oriented bicycling! 🙁

That film is extremely green.
There was moss on the trees, but the film does have some definite colour problems (green is just one of them 😀 ).
It was cheap dollar store film I was using to test the Kiev.
