Weekend Photography Plans: What are you up to?

We have a 3-day weekend in the USA due to Labor Day on Monday. My plans for today include taking the family to a specific beach that is about 70 miles East of Pensacola. There are multiple dolphin sightings in that area for the past few days by some friends, so I want show Dana and Lina dolphins. I will throw into the trunk my Canon 500mm/4.5L just in case there actually are some dolphins apppearing close to the land.

Else, I will continue using the two Heliar 50mm lenses.

What will you be doing this weekend?
 
I'm about to head out to do a quick photo shoot for a client of mine (bakery), another digital quickie with the Olympus C-8080 (my, that camera's been quite busy of late). As usual, I'll have the Contax Tvs on my hip for come-what-may.

Continuing to test the new to me Leica IIIf with a collapsible Summicron. I've got two rolls of Ektar 100 to see if the slight yellowing of the thorium glass in the early 'cron has an impact on the prints or scans.

Or else I might just go shoot my new to me Mauser M93 rifle instead... 😱

Or both 😉

I haven't been doing any photography (outside of work) for the past couple of weeks. I have been printing on my little Selphy though. Perhaps I need a break though - but it IS a long weekend here. Hmm.
 
I took Friday off from work, so I'll include that in my list. 🙂

Friday: Mamiya AFD II Kodak DCS Pro Back 645M with 80/1.9 and 55/2.9 and a Sigma DP2 - shooting rice fields

Saturday: EOS 5D with Zeiss 35-70mm f3.4 Vario-Sonnar and Zuiko 55mm f1.2 - random photo walking, decisions on what direction to go made by flipping a coin

Sunday: No sure yet, but likely to be D700 with 50mm f1.4 - attending a beach side music festival

Monday: Have no idea yet, but might head to Tokyo to do another random photo-walk with my R-D1s and Canon 50/1.2 , 35/2, and Avenon 21/2.8
 
its weekend soon again ! 🙂

am going to drive to countryside, in camera bag is FE loaded with Velvia 50 and on the nose Nikkor AI 135/f.2.8 that came this week. also 50/f1.4 is going into bag.
 
Burn a bit of Ektar behind the screwmount Summicron, then go to a camera show on Sunday in Chicago to try and make enough money to pay for it... :bang:

It is Friday, and the weekend could be a nice one here.
I have to do some work on getting stuff moved to another house, but I am too lazy right now to even think about it. Photography is so much more fun.

I may use the Hexar RF camera to get used to it this weekend.

What are you up to this weekend?
 
We have a relative of my wife vistiting so we'll be showing him the southern Wisconsin sights. Good excuse to test out the IIIf & my new to me Summitar. A little Ektar & a little BW400CN, I think... 🙂

it will rain here, I still have 7 films to develop from summer holidays, 2 to prescan ( I mean low res scan just to print contacts and view on the monitor), a few frames for high def scan in order to proper print, I think it is enough for now...

Finally I have some (weekend photography plans that is), and I can post here!

It's "third Friday" and I'm going downtown to an art exhibit that someone I know peripherally is opening. I like those kind of events because most people want to be photographed. I'm taking my M4P and 35mm lens, but I haven't decided yet if I'm using trix with flash off the camera or delta 3200 with available light. Probably the latter, but I do enjoy the stealth flash look.

Here's the last time I used that technique.
 
...not sure yet.

I'm glad that some people here have weekend plans. I brought home ten small boxes as a start, and I will try to fill them up with "stuff" this weekend.

I may go back to a "wide angle lens weekend" and play with the Canon 19mm 3.5 lens on a IIIf. I am assuming that the lens won't fit the Hexar RF camera. Am I right? I was told that I should not use the lens with the Canon P, but I had by that used the lens with the P without any problems I can identify.
 
Non rangefinder, but wanting to test my new Kiev 88 MF tomorrow, will also probably take an Iskra RF MF folder I picked up and a Leica M4-P for when my partner is testing the Kiev
 
My wife reminded me gently that we've been married for 15 years this weekend. So I'll take her to a fancy restaurant today. In the meanwhile I'm going to visit an annual sales exhibition for old photographic equipment. Just browsing and taking some photos, I'm not going to buy anything... ( yeah, right)
