What photography related thing are you doing this fine evening?

[coelacanth]

Here is an idea of a thread: What photography related thing are you doing this fine evening?

No matter you are a pro or a hobbyist, working with film or digital, evening/night time is often the time to do on some photography related activities. It could be hours-long Lightroom image manipulations, running two-hour stand development, or spending a sunday evening in bathroom darkroom developing the next masterpiece. Maybe you are still out shooting?

So what are you doing this evening?

To start off:

I'm developing a couple of Arista Premium 400 shot at 1600. One is a test roll with my new Summicron 50 v5 that I took to a motorcycle ride on Saturday. The other roll is another test roll checking out the MP that just came back from Youxin with brake tension adjustment.

They are being washed off as I type this. A few snaps with X2.

Don't do this at home, kids! Photo chemicals are bad for your health.

Oh someone called cops on the crackhead living across the hall. They are kicking in. 😱

Fixer is kicking in as Trader Joe's Cheapo Zinfandel is kicking in. Browsing RFF is great when you develop pushed rolls which take longer.

As I start washing the film, the cops were escorting the dude out.

This has been one fine Sunday evening in ever foggy San Francisco. 😉 How's yours?

Quite an overcast evening out here in Alameda county as well!

Today was a great day in Pleasanton, California where I walked around with my Leica M8 and Summilux 35 ASPH and Tele-Elmar 135. I stopped by the historic downtown area first, then went on to the Alameda County fairgrounds to get some tantalizing night shots.

This evening? I spent some time processing the DNG files with the Adobe RAW engine and organized the files within Aperture. Several nights ago I souped four rolls of Tri-X in Rodinal and spent the rest of that night scanning. And scanning. And scanning.

Here's some digital shots from this afternoon's escapades.

I plan to develop one APX100 film and maybe scan the same night.

 

[Michael Markey]

Well its 8.50 in the morning here in the UK and I`ve just dev a roll of HP5 from the M3/Sonnar.

 

[maddoc]

It will be soon 18:00 so I hope to be able to finish work by that time, go home (maybe have to pick up my son) and develop a roll of DELTA100. The first time ever I have used this film so keen to the results. 🙂

 

[coelacanth]

Now I'm scanning them in. Here is a shot from the roll this evening.

With the selection of Canon RF's I have I spend a bit of each evening preparing for the next day. I like to rotate my choice of bodies and lenses. Never been able to force myself to One Camera, One lens, as Johnson suggests. Oh well , I'll have fun anyway.

Nothing that active but I am trying to decide what photo gear to take with me tomorrow. I'm off to spend three days with a friend in a little country town a couple of hundred Ks north of Brisbane.

I can drift off to sleep tonight contemplating my choices ... better than counting sheep for sure! 😀

we traveled all evening, got home just before dark. only photo things i did were put a finished roll of film where i will see it to remind me to develop it, then check RFF before going to bed ...

Same thing here, almost. I'm going to spend five days at a "lazy art" festival in a yurt camp by the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul here. I intend to do some lazy photography and am now basically packing up some clothes and photography gear.

I was going to pack the photography gear tonight ... but historically I will have changed my mind by the morning so why bother! 😛

 

[kshapero]

Same thing as always, "Looking for the Shot."

Test driving my new voigtlander cloth strap around the house. I was afraid it would be too short or too long (as it's the same as the artisan/artist 102 cloth strap - unadjustable) but it turns out it's absolutely perfect. May be my favorite strap i've bought so far, and also one of the cheapest!

Get my heat bath cranked up and finish processing some E-6 slide film (Velvia). I finished four rolls last night, but at 12:30 AM was too wiped out to do the last two.

I am steadily working through 24 rolls of film from a recent trip, a mix of color and black and white. Plus the scanning, I will probably do some of that tonight too.

Plus it is past the first of the month and I have a stack of bills to pay. ;-(

Just got a new scanner, which I am going to have ti figure out. And I have a number of cameras to clean and check. But I have a rotten cold, so I am going to head to bed and do it all tomorrow🙁

 

[jsrockit]

Make a blurb book... or at least start...

 

[Calzone]

Pick up 4 rolls of 120 color slides and a roll of 220 slides that I dropped off Saturday for processing. Images are of the Mermaid Parade shot with a Pentax 67II using a 105/2.4 wide open.

Inspecting the gear I need to sell to pay bills! Double checking the serial numbers, functions, cleanliness, of lenses and cameras
that I have posted and will be posting in the classifieds. This is always more time consuming than I expect, and it gets me frustrated,
but in the end I do enjoy fiddling with the gear and fine-tuning them to sale.

Of course when I am trying to sell gear, I end up buying a Canon RF with lens from the RFF classifieds! But its a nice kit, thanks Jack!

You too? 😕 How this? 😀

But, jokes apart, when I have done my payments I will pick the next scanned roll from my big backlog file stack and start rating and post processing the 36 images.
