Let's shoot this weekend.

Here are some photos taken yesterday at the beach. I put the camera on Program and shot away. Unless mistaken, the aperture chosen by the camera was f 8.0. The weather was windy and cloudy, but it was fun to be alone at the beach. I am happy with the Fuji film. I bought 120 24-exp. rolls for about $40.

I don't want to bore you with family photos, but for the time being, this is my focus until mychildren grow up a little and I have some free time for other photo projects.

I was in a SLR frame of mind this weekend, I shot colour yesterday with a black Pentax SV with a 24 f3.5 wideangle lens, today was my trusty Nikon F2 with a 35 f2 and 50 f1.4 lens with Black and white film. I was in Kensington Market and Bloor West Village, it was cool but really sunny.

Here are a couple of shots I made this past week. The first is a Norfolk-Southern diesel looking for all the world like a "Triclops". It was taken with a 5cm f/2 Summitar at f/8. The second is my neighbor taking a smoke break on his porch. This was taken with a 9cm uncoated Elmar at f/4.5. Film is Arista EDU-Ultra 200 (Fomapan).

Thanks, Rick. I seem to get sharper photos with SLR cameras. It could be that my eyesight works better with SLR focusing.

It was cool and rainy this weekend, perfect weekend for rugby.

I played my last game of this season on Saturday - air temp of 6 degrees with a 30mph wind driving horizontal sleet and a pitch that looked like a paddy field!! On top of that we were playing the league leaders in an attemp (unsuccessful) to avoid relegation. Before half-time the sun was out and it didn't feel quite so bad to lose 49 - 5 🙄

Never mind, I was able to get out on Sunday with some RF kit:-

Pics are of some alleys in York, one of a new ferris wheel being built at the National railway Museum, a pool on the beach (looking to capture those specular highlights). These are all M3 with Canon 50mm f1.4 on Konica Centuria 200S, testing a new (to me) body and a film sample.

The last one, of my wife and our daughter's dog on the beach, was a test of a Leica IIIa I have on loan while mine is away for shutter replacement. taken on cheap no-make film (turns out to be Ferrania) I think it shows a couple of problems - colour shift, although taken at 1/200 and about f8, plus some pinholes in the curtain - look bottom left. Using a 50mm f3.5 uncoated Elmar from 1935, I wouldn't expect that aqmount of colour shift, anyone got any ideas what that could be caused by? Most other shots on the roll have spots from the pinholes, but are better in colour balance.

Anyway, nice to be posting some pics again!

Oh well,

Second go at this post, not the 'There is a problem with the database' now thankfully consigned to the history books, but my partner decided to check her email without checking with me first. Oops! Never mind, I'll forgive her coz' I love her, and because she was my assistant at the weekend, waiting patiently carrying one of three cameras whilst I hobbled around with my bad leg trying to take photos. I actually managed to get in quite a bit of picture taking at the weekend, starting with a not very successful attempt to take long exposures at the local harbour, then on Saturday we spent an enjoyable kid-free day exploring the local coves and harbours. Some useful stuff there, and about 40% with the Bessa or Zorki, although no B&W so no pics yet. Yesterday we had the privilege to visit Caerhays Castle Gardens. Caerhays or Crraze to give it it's local pronunciation is not only a romantic Victorian Gothic pile, but also home to the national collection of Magnolias, and a good few Camellias and Rhododendrons too. Spring is the prime time for this amazing garden and we saw some quite unbelievable trees. Imagine if you will a tree 100ft tall and covered in flowers the size of dinner plates. And there were many such. The sun was shining brightly and I reckon I got a good selection of keepers. Predominantly DSLR, but again a good sprinkling with the Bessa, and an odd couple with the Zorki.

So as I haven't got film processed yet I'm going to be a naughty boy and post a non-rangefinder pic, just the one mind. Shhh don't tell anyone!!!!

This is Dicksonia antartica and I'm quite proud of it.
