Hey everyone,
I gave my brand new Bessa R a run for its money, it came in the mail and came straight to FL the sam day, and got broken in at a huge car race at the Daytona Speedway! It was great way to get used to it, and tested hard since I need to really rely on what I was shooting with! It passed the test!
Shots are up here www.bryanbowie.com
Most all of the B&W shots are all from the Bessa R with 35 Skopar.
Thanks! Bryan
PS- If anyone has shot anything like this, Im haveing a little prob, so check this out if you dont mind

Nice work, Bryan! Mind if I ask about film and processing info?
Thanks! Sure, all of these were shot on Fuji's Neopan 100, I like the fine grain of the Neopan, I also shot some of these with Kodak's 100TMax which is also a pretty nice film, as far as processing, just dropped at my lab, who are thankfully trustworthy! Negatives and a hi res CD picked up 3 days later, sorry I dont know more as far as their processing, I recently moved back to VA, so I havent really gotten too in sync with this new lab yet, Im getting ready to set up my darkroom in a spare bathroom soon thoughfishtek said:
I highly recommend the Neopan is your local shop carries it, its also super cheap on BH, last time I looked. Thanks again

Bryan,
nice work - not used to seeing races shots from a rangefinder
Just a word of critique, if I may, and that would be to slow the shutter just enough to get some wheel blur to give a sense of motion - in some of them the cars look like they're standing still. Hope you don't mind.

No I definitely dont mind, those, of course were shot with the "Pro" kit, DSLR etc, it was intensely sunny when I shot the bulk of these, even with an ND4 on, I just couldnt keep the shutter open long enough to get the effects i wanted? Granted, it was my 1st race shoot, so next time ill be a little more prepared, I definitely know what youre saying though! The speed blur in some of the shots worked well, just the tire blur was tricky! Thanks for looking though! Always love critique

Nice shots Bryan. It's clear you had a good time. Glad you were pleased with the performance of the Bessa and 35mm. Hope to see more here on RFF!
