Your weekend photography plans ... now!

[raid]

Hello Everybody Here,

This is the right time to make your photography plans for the weekend. Let's be creative if the weather is lousy and let's be energetic and active this weekend if we can do so physically.

I will in a few minutes load up a couple of cameras with film for tomorrow's photography. The options seem to be endless here; which lens; which camera; which film; ... and so on. Best thing is to keep things simple so that I can focus (no pun intended) on photography. I may try some panorma photography at the beaches and maybe also I will again use the Fuji Natura in case my hands shake from what is exposed on film (pun intended). Just kidding; I will have the entire family with me and maybe also our kid's babysitter whom we encouraged to accompany us so that she can enjoy some fun. She is from Scotland and she will enjoy the beaches.

I hope that at least some of you will get inspired/encouraged to go out tomorrow and have some fun with photography during the weekend.

Greetings,

Raid

I have hired a fellow photographer (first time for that) and we are covering a city event here in Wilson, getting paid not by the city, but by the booth they have set up for us to take photos of the participants:

I'm actually returning a favor, this other photog hired me to help her with a gig recently. Fair is fair.

I bought a Casio 4x6 dye-sub printer that I bought for the event. One of us will be shooting the award presentations, the other (hopefully) making bank by taking souvenir photos of the participants. We'll give out business cards for any follow-on business. Hopefully we'll make enough to make it worth our while.

We're both shooting DSLR's, my Pentax and her Nikon D200. Sadly, no RF work!

I may be a bit too tired on Sunday to do much. I'm very lazy, I guess.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

I'm shooting my sister's headshots and comp cards. Not my favorite photographic thing to do given that I dislike shooting within parameters so narrow as ABC demands, but at least I get someone to fund my rental of a really nice Contax 645 system and Profoto strobe kit for the weekend.

Making exhibition prints in the wet darkroom. Selenium toner makes me all groggy. Ooh, look at all the pretty colors...

Walking around Boston Common and where ever I will end up......

I may try to shoot my friend's doggy in the park. Maybe I'll use the Ikonta. Why do I keep coming up with things that are bound to drive me nuts?

 

[back alley]

it's supposed to snow on and off all weekend.
i'm heading out early tomorrow morning for breakfast with the boys and then i'm gonna shoot as long as my hands don't freeze. it's all zeiss for this weekend.
as much as i like the luigi case it is a different style from the ones i've seen here, it's very boxlike and my hands are a bit too small to make use of it comfortably, so i'm back to gloves or frozen fingers.
i also hope to do some indoor shooting for the march project.
maybe i'll shoot the fireplace as my fingers warm...

Depending on the weather of course, tomorrow afternoon I'm planning to drive into the city and just wander around a bit doing some urban scenes as day turns to twilight to night, and hoping it's better weather than the last time I tried this.

As for armamentaria, I just loaded the GIII with a fresh roll of Fuji 800. I'm not gonna try dusk or night shots with the Walgreens/Agfa 400 again. 🙁 I'm also taking the (please don't throw me out of the club for this) Olympus Stylus Zoom with W/A 200 for daytime shots.

I'll be taking the R2a down to Philadelphia for the St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday. I want to get down to the staging area early to see if the 35 & 75mm can find anything interesting to shoot. It's supposed to be a beautiful day so hopefully there will be a few rolls ready to soup that evening.

Scanning some negatives from my Balda 6x6 and working on my web site. I doubt I'll have much of a chance to shoot.

Reading RFF. 😉

Supposed to be otherworldly warm here tomorrow but quite wet. Low to mid-40's on Sunday and sunny so I hope to get out then to take some storefront photos in my town for a project idea I have. We shall see.

I've already done it... probably finished for the week-end. It's cold and we're expecting a major rain storm.

Shot a local landmark -- an old Anglican church that was saved from destruction by Dale Rogers (Roy's wife) when the area was being developed. Roy and Dale Rogers onced had a ranch in this area; the streets are named after them: Roy Lane, Dale Ave, Trigger St. She had the church moved from the original site to a cute cemetery location where it's still an active church. The sun was low, but still bright; the clouds were magnificent.

Most of Saturday, I'll be airborne, like a pest (no pun), on my way to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Sunday, I must get up early, as we're being driven to Ponce by a friend who volunteered to do it. Once there, it'll be either all Ektachrome ISO 100 or 400, depending on the light (also open to some Kodachrome 64). Of course, all RF work, with one Leica loaded with Scala and the other with color stuff.

I have a Saturday class at Ryerson University in speech writing. I am doing one of my marked speeches in the morning. Before class I will be taking my Pentax SV with a 55/1.8 and hit the King/Wellington/ Portland area of Toronto. In class I will be using my Leica M3 with the Collapsable 90 Elmar and take pictures of my classmates. After class to unwind, more pictures in the Beaches. Photography is calming for me.

Driving to Guelph Sat. to pick up my daughter and bring her back to Rah-cha-cha ... the weather should be nice-ish, so I'll take a 35 SP loaded with Pan F+ & yellow filter, plus maybe the RC w/ C41 B&W.

Sunday we'll take in Lion King (stage), so don't know if I'll get any shooting done.

This is the right time to make your photography plans for the weekend.

I was out today since Friday was one of my "weekend" days this week.
It was a dull, dreary, overcast day. I took a wander through the woods and finished the last three frames on a roll of Silvertone 400. It was developed in my last Rodinal Special ... a developer that worked quite nicely with the Silvertone film. I'll have to start experimenting with new developers for my remaining stock since there's no more Rodinal Special to be had.
For Saturday, I'll wait and see how the weather looks and decide whether to load up with ASA 25, 100 or 400.
This was the last of the three frames I shot today. Taken with a Bessa R and a CV 35/2.5.

I'm now hitting my dilemma point.

Weather here might be good enough to go bicycle riding for the first time since last Fall. When I ride, I have no interest in stopping to take pics. I just want to ride.

This is why I need to win the lottery I never enter.

If I won, I could retire. And then I wouldn't have all these darned time conflicts! :bang:

 

[SolaresLarrave]

George, just carry the camera with and you'll stop. Speaking from experience here...
