Weekend Photography Plans: What are you up to?

It's lovely today for early December in Ohio (58F and full sun). So I bagged up my Makiflex Standard and three lenses, grabbed a tripod (it's very windy!) and found a strong fully lit test subject.

Ended up using the 360 Tele-Arton, and exposed 120 6.5x9 Ilford Fp4+, 120 6.5x9 Foma Retro Soft 320, and three 6.5x9cm J lane Dry glass plates. The dry plates are rated at ASA 2!

When I find a strong subject, I often shoot the same scene with different kinds of film. I think of this as a form of "bracketing". And I end up with a choice of different negatives. And because I'm using a tripod this is easy to do.
 
It is Friday evening here in the US. The weekend is lingering around the corner! I have my camera bag "loaded" with M3, M8, and M9.

What are you up to this weekend?
 
Things have been slow photography wise around here lately so I'm going to check out/get a tour of a communal darkroom this afternoon as thought I'd try getting back in the darkroom and making prints from some the 4x5 and 120 B&W negative that I've shot over the past decade or so.
 
Tonight is the full moon. My D750 batteries are charged and I have a motel room booked so I can spend half the night shooting an abandoned grain elevator under the moonlight, in Indiana. Unfortunately now the weather is looking uncooperative...
 
It has rained or threatened rain nearly every weekend in NE Alabama since Thanksgiving. The one Saturday I could have gone to the flea market to take pictures, I had a family thing to go to. And the long range forecast is that this weather pattern will run the rest of this month.
 
I tried out the new to me Ultron 50/2.0 on the M8 in downtown Pensacola. I will continue this exploration also tomorrow.
 
A very good friend asked me on Monday if I would be able to shoot her husband's 65th Birthday Party on Saturday...so for tomorrow I'll be at a birthday party...
Last weekend I shot a Woman's Conference...finished editing the photos today, will get them to her early next week...
 
Hopefully finding time to give my new (a month old) Fuji 16-55 f2.8 zoom a try-out with my X-Pro2.

Here, in southern England, we have had a reasonable fall of snow, so I am hoping for foul weather to put the lens’ weather resistant and cold temperature capabilities through their paces while it’s still under guarantee. ;) :)
 
In Ho Chi Minh City, 32C but it is also hazy...not ideal photography weather. We are approaching 'Tet', or Lunar New Year and tomorrow I am planning to tour the suburbs looking for orchids. I'll bring the Epson R-D1x and Zeiss 2/35 with me. I would have preferred the Zeiss 2.8/28 but it has developed the infamous 'wobble' and I need to get it repaired.
 
Downtown Pensacola at coffee shop. I tried out my GX1 with Zeiss 16/2.8 fisheye lens this morning. Now I am at home, trying to figure out how to set ISO on a GX1.
 
Saturday almost gone ... printed (inkjet) pages for my handmade books inspired by wabisabi.
Sunday some more print and than Holga (I have a roll to finish in it) or my Nikon FM2T which need a little bit of exercise...28mm lens probably...

I did make the rounds ... but the orchids where sold out. Instead, I found a spread of flowers with the new Saigon in the background. Will post soon. Have a great weekend!
 
Scanning my father's negatives, then cleaning up images in Photoshop/Lightroom....an ongoing project. This is a 6x9 negative, scanned on my Konica/Minolta MultiPro using SilverFast. Taken in Chicago, about 1939. (Not sure why image is not appearing.....)
