Weekend Photography Plans: What are you up to?

Our gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather is supposed to hold a little longer so I have hopes of the first yard sales of the season tomorrow morning 😀

jippiejee - Which model? I have a few Konica SLRs (TC, TC-X and FP-1). The TC-X, which is surprisingly good for the Cosina-made mongrel that it really is, being my favorite. I should like to try a T4 some day.
 
I shot a few frames of Plus-X in my M2 this morning on my usual 45 minute walk around the neighborhood pushing the 3 year old in a jog stroller.

My wife will be gone for a big chunk of tomorrow running a half marathon and must be feeling guilty about leaving me with the 4 kids all day. She told me I can do whatever I want today and she'll keep the kids entertained. It's looking like it will be a darkroom day.
 
We went to a couple of yard sales in the morning. Took a pass at a complete darkroom outfit, including a Leitz Valoy II, priced at $100. I think it came with a lens but I never checked which. Just not interested in yet another enlarger, let alone one for 35mm only, and while I need a set of trays, I'd rather buy those new.

I also shot a couple of frames over breakfast with my wife at a diner. Had a good view of their drive-through window but decided the odds of me catching a nice moment, versus being considered a weirdo, weren't too good.
 
i banged away this morning on the x100, mostly close-up stuff. only one frame that i thought barely remotely worth posting in the gallery. then switched to the om-1n and closed out a roll of arista premium 400, courtesy of pggunn, on some minimum distance shots with the zuiko 50/1.8. then switched to the nikon f2 with a roll of 400 superia, also courtesy of ppgunn. made several shots at minimum range with the nikkor 50/2. a neighbor wants me to shoot warrior river wildflowers for a picture book he has in mind. i don't like fooling with the fine focus in macro with the x100, nor being confined to a tripod. either a nikkor macro 50/3.5 and color film, or a used digital body and the 50/35.
 
The other day I set up my Nikon F5 (w/24mm) on a tripod placed it up on our balcony, set the Interval Timer to shoot 1 frame every 4 minutes and then proceeded to mow the backyard...
It shot off 26 frames...I hope to finish the roll today in that camera and then another in my F body and develop both rolls today...
It's expired Tri-X (TX5063) shot @ 100 asa, developed in HC-110 with a Restrainer added to reduce film base fogging...the last roll I developed looked pretty good...although I haven't printed from it yet...

NASCAR is running in Fontana, CA this weekend, the track is about 10 miles away and sometimes the Fly-By jets come very close to our house in setting up for their pass...kinda cool to watch...
 
It is weekend, and I have some time for enjoying some photography. I will meet this morning with Robin for some coffee and chatting. I wil take the kids iut to a festival in Pensacola. Itis called Festival on the Green, and it held each year at the University of WetvFlorida campus.

What are you up to?
 
In Barcelona right now. Sunburned so will just stroll around a museum or two tomorrow. Picasso and perhaps the Museum of National Art Catalunya.
 
driving up to Washington DC! will be using a Canon 600D with a 50mm 1.4 and my Holga 35mm toy camera with some cheapo 200-400 ISO film.
 
Morning: scanned negatives and uploaded to Flickr and here.
Afternoon into evening: Darkroom until about 21:00
Cup of coffee after that and I still had some energy so I developed 3 rolls of Plus-X and now I'm done.
Tomorrow: probably spotting prints.
 
I am finally out of the fever period (sort of), and I will try to do some casual photography just for the fun of it this weekend.

What will you be doing?

Fever period? Congratulations!😀

Being Easter weekend, just me and the Easter Bunny. Can't get much more casual than that with the grandkids.
 
I have taken some photos at home this morning with the Hexar RF plus Heliar 50/2, followed by 35/1.4 Lux. I also used the M6 with the 75mm Lux. Such equipment makes photography even more enjoyful, but nobody needs such equipment really. A basic 50/2 will do.
