Hi, Brad!

I am running behind as well... so how about us dropping the deadline?

UPDATE!!!
There is now no deadline, just to keep this challenging thread open!
😀 😀 😀
 
I love panoramas. It's a quick way to use up frames when you are trying to finish up a roll. But that's not the only reason I shoot them. They just give so much more information to the viewer, and I don't many times have an ultra-wide lens with me.

Great use of the decatych, Brad. I always wondered what Galeton looked like.

I've always felt a lot of your photos of Danville could be anywhere in mid-western US, John (minus the mountains of course). Just shows how people brings their ways with them no matter where they settle.

I goofed this thread, I got excited and used more than one roll. You are right Danville looks mid-western down town, but outside it is typical California suburban housing developments: acres of big boxes. And with the new money surge we are losing some of our old buildings; too bad maybe I'll move to the Midwest.
 
Time to revitalize this thread...

My first attempt was not successful because my Rolleiflex stop to work after 4-5 shots...
Than summer arrived and it was to hot to shoot around...
Tried again with my Zeiss Super Ikonta going from the suburbs to the center of my town.

This is the scan of the complete roll, In a couple of week I'll scan the single frames and post a few detailed photos...

Nice, Robert! Can't wait to see the larger images and some narrative...
This is just what I was hoping for. 🙂

As you know, I am far behind in my processing and posting here. I have been slightly pre-occupied with my work, it is time for me to process my rolls of 120 film and shoot some more!!!!
 
These are from the town where I lived for 23 years, Eugene Oregon, and focused on characters at its annual Lane County Fair. Forgive my interpretation of the rules in order to show something of the microcosmic pageantry of the weird town within a town that is the county fair.

All Portra 400, even those I converted to BW after scanning. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Dave! Thanks for extending the thread beyond any deadline.

Thanks, Robert!

I like that roll of images. Our local County Fair has recently come and gone and we missed it. Our grandkids are too old for that it seems.

With the cooler weather and impending grandeur of Fall color, I long to be out shooting some film just for fun. Lately, I can't stay awake... it matters little anyway, but I hope to get out of the house at least one day this season. It is my favorite time of year!

Thank you for these images!🙂

Here are my submissions for the One Roll Challenge. They were shot over a couple of weekends in October and November of this year on Ektar 100 using a Holga 120N. Some of them are very familiar to images that I submitted for Red Oktober. Those were shot from the same locations using a FED2 from the same locations.

@rhl-oregon: great series, Robert. Love the joyful feeling in your photos! Much impressed by the tones of your B&W conversion.
@ webOSUser: great series, Steven! The shot of the Circus Family Restaurant is my preferred, but not a specific reason! Probably the colours and that Helga look 🙂

To keep this interesting thread alive I give a few details about my previous contribution (post 70) :

The idea was to shoot my town starting from the suburbs arriving to the center. Looking at the contact I saw these frames can form a diptych. One is a soccer field where I noticed the rectangles of the goal and the other a few hundreds meters away is the garden of a movie school entitled to the director Michelangelo Antonioni where there is a screen for projections in summer.

Photo were taken with my Zeiss Super Ikonta 516

In my town from the suburbs toward the center, near the place where I live there is an art school. Students got permissions from the municipality to paint on a wall near the school, under the guide of their teachers.

I took a photo of the first graffiti with says "if you build a wall think of what you'll leave outside"

Okay, I'm back. Hit me... I'm in.

I have a roll of TriX that is waiting for me to finish my latest book edits and printing. After the New Year holiday I will join you, Robert!

I really need the film therapy, really!🙂
