Light, shadows, shiny metal, black and white is great at an air museum. I have a bunch more to add to this set, but I really like shooting at these venues.

Excellent set Rover , My son was wanting to go so I just had to oblige him.

I really enjoy shooting the planes as well .

Those simple RF cameras can surprise people who have not used them. You really got them showing their stuff. That Tri-X and your developing, scanning and pp are great too. Enjoyed the sets.

Hi Tom,

Obviously the Tri-X and Microdol-X is working well for you. Have you tried any of the Eastman 5222 XX yet?

Hi Dan , No I haven't I was actually going to see if you'd sell me a couple or rolls . If that possible let me know. I have Pay Pal .😀 And yes it's working fine , I think I have Tri-x the way I want it now . I need to get more Tmax, and get it worked out better.

Again Dan, thanks for the help and encouragement .

Sam funny you mentioned it I was just on line this afternoon trying to find the next closest one , and Galveston came up . I might have to check that one out as well as the USAF in Ohio.

Thanks again Sam.

My brother went to the USAF museum in Ohio this spring and was wow'd. Put the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles airport outside of DC if you can. I am thinking of jumping in my car for a fast weekend road trip to Ohio, and will get back to DC very soon.

This week he is flying with a friend's family (private plane) to Oshkosh for the Air Show...they'll be there all week...actually they should still be flying as I type...
