Your weekend photography plans ... now!

Tomorrow...more of the Windmills. Shot on (interestingly enough) both Velvia and Tri-X if I can. Perhaps I'll put the Velvia in the Canonet and the Tri-X and TMX in the Canon P. I'll be using the 35 mostly for the Canon P. Sunday is the day that my boyfriend and I are going to celebrate our one year anniversary...going to Des Moines for some shopping and a dinner for two at the Outback. Most likely catching a movie as well. I'm taking the Canon P with the 50/1.5 J-3. Should be fun to see shots wide open with that lens...I'll be shooting TMY and Plus-X hopefully.
 
Sat: St. Patty's Day parade, University baseball double header, finished off with a three band concert at Dante's "Inferno". Sun: Softball Double header and hopefully followed by some rf shooting. Only three weeks untill the contest deadline.
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhh........nothing Saturday, working round the house. Sunday am taking the SLR and big lens to a Flying Fox colony. May take the M3 with HP5 just in case anything fun shows up.
 
My plan is to empty my M3 at a 40th birthday party tonight. This party is for one of my friends from college, it will be a good time and should offer some opportunity to take some pictures. I have TriX in the machine and will shoot with the Canon 50/1.4 or 1.2.

Tomorrow is my son's birthday party, so that is the realm of the EOS.
 
When I have a Sunday off, and the weather is good - not a typical situation, alas - I pack the four cameras I can never decide between, and a fifth for adventure, gently nudge my Patient Partner into the car (I can't drive) and we just go.
The forecast is good for both today and tomorrow, and the season is shifting, so that's my plan for this weekend too.
 
I'll bring the R-D1 tomorrow when I'll go squashing with friends. Don't know if I'll do any shooting there but it can't hurt to bring it. can it? 🙂 Maybe in the afternoon I'll take a walk here and take the camera out to. I haven't been feeling very shootish lately after two weekends out (to Antwerp and to NYC).
 
Got back at 3:30am last night so ended up sleeping in a bit. Sunny outside though. May load up a Leica (M3 or III (F) - not quite sure) and bring it out as I need a cup of coffee...and food...it's almost noon.
Apart from that no real photography plans this weekend but will try to snap a bit if the oportunity comes up.
 
My plans for the weekend are just like most of my weekends, lately: bring a camera more or less everywhere I go. That is, the M3 with Summicron 50 or Jupiter 8, or else the Minox 35 GT-E. Today (Saturday), shot half a roll of Efke KB 100 walking around town.

Spring is here! Have changed from Tri-X to Efke KB 100 as my main film. The change in light here at +55 degrees latitude is apparent.

Also: developing. Have rather a backlog of films that need to be processed.
 
Hello all - Went this morning to shoot a cemetery in Pass Christian, MS, that had taken a beating from Katrina. The results are posted at http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=580381 if you want to take a look. Not with a rangefinder though; this was a Nikon D70. Funny how it doesn't seem sharper than a 40-50 yr old Zeiss Contessa.

Best,
John

My little town is home to Ursinus college, which has a small, beautiful, well-funded art museum. They currently have a spectacular Rodin exhibit downstairs, and a "Pop Art" retrospective upstairs, replete w/ Warhols and Lichtensteins. They also have a very respectable outdoor sculpture exhibit. The kids and I had intended to make a day of it, on the most beautiful weekend of the year. Tomorrow is "Charter Day" in PA, and most state-funded museums are free, so we were heading to the PA Railroad Museum. I had high photographic hopes, but it was all my plans that got railroaded, as I spent most of the day in the ER with a kidney stone. Now the kids are with the g'parents, and I'm stuck at home, near the bathroom, with lots of film and vicadin. 🙁
 
I plan to conduct a lens comparison test, weather permitting. I recently acquired a 1940 coated CZJ 35 Biogon, and am interested in comparing to my post-war Carl Zeiss 35mm Biogon.

As a fellow kidney stone maker, I feel your pain (literally). Sorry to hear that you're suffering with one. Kidney stones seem to have the darndest timing, don't they?

The last one I had hit on the afternoon that my girlfriend and I were leaving on a trip to Las Vegas. My plan was to propose to her in the mall at Caesar's Palace... her favorite place. Instead she spent the afternoon with me in the ER, periodically asking "When do you think we'll be able to hit the road?" We never made it to Vegas, but I proposed later that week. Oh... after 10 years of marriage we've never made it to Vegas!

Fear not, things will improve for you soon enough... just keep sucking down those meds and drinking lots of H2O!
