Over a Month -- yikes
It's been too long - I'll be working on that for the future. I will say that I get delayed from posting as I copyright all images now. So there is a 3-4 month delay after the photo is taken before I have a group to register etc. And after the image is registered, then I can post. Ugh --- I know... but that's the process. Ok -- onward.
This image was taken with the newly repaired Rollei 6008i on Ilford Delta 400. Home processed and scanned - and the scan is excellent. The negative processed very flat and as always the flatter the better during the scan.
I really like this image and may print it 24"x24".
No crop.
SLC - with the P330
Here's a grab shot with the pocketed Nikon P330 - in black and white mode. It's a great photo when the light and situation matches the consumer gear really well. I love this photo and the what camera captured. As with all of my images - no crop.
a little Coffee in SLC
Shot on the Nikon F100 and self developed.
the Backyard wall
-- the Lola --
Shot on the F100 with film which did funny things during development. I have a feeling it was mis labeled as it sure looks like 3200 to me. Self development results are sometimes very surprising.
SLC
Shot with the Nikon 1 V1 on a SLC backstreet - no crop.
the Bulldogs
Shot in April on the Rollei 6008i before I sent it in for repair. It arrives home on Wednesday; I can't wait -- but I digress. These two dogs are sisters -- Lola and Penelope. We have the Lola and she's a barrel of fun, and Penelope is with my sister in-law.
Developed and scanned in-house.
The non-interesting becomes interesting.
This is from my Rollei 6008i - a mid 1990's medium format 120 film camera. I love it and this image shows what it rendered. I recognized the great window light and the scene of the recently washed dishes. I know right -- but, for me at least, the captured image I cannot stop looking at. The grays, blacks, and whites have perfect tones - and the film does it all justice.
Home developed and scanned on a Nikon LS-8000.
the Harmon's grocery
Across from the Harmon's grocery is my second bus stop. I've become obsessed with this roof line which is of the Harmon's. I've shot it multiple times - and this time is no different.
Ilford HP5+ - no crop - self developed.
Corvette
The parking lot, with a light drizzle made the hood of this "vette" really shine.

Yellowstone NP
Yellowstone National Park - Old Faithful Inn.
A wonderful place and magical where the facility has been updated to todays standards but visually kept to look original. Shot on Ilfords Delta 400 with a Rolliflex 6008i. Ilford's Delta is a wonderful film stock which has a resolution much crisper than their HP5.
Back of Town - Twin Falls Idaho
Shot on a Rollei 6008i, mid Summer of 2015 with Ilford Delta 400 - early morning to capture the dramatic angle of the sun. Home developed and home scanned with a Nikon LS-8000.
There is a lot going on in this scene - and I'm happy with it's outcome.

Shot at the South entrance steps of the SLC Capitol - with the F100 on HP5. As with all of my images - no crop.
BW is unforgiving
BW film or any film is always a bit of an event in discovering the result — and I guess that’s what keeps me coming back.
As I learned in my stats class years ago - there are some un-predictable parameters which don’t lend to a “sure thing” event.
I now see why, when those back in the day, shot film they were true artists of the time. There was no preview - no chimping - no spray and pray. A wedding photographer for hire had no choice but to get the shot - and I doubt any had “errors and omissions” insurance if they didn’t. And if you didn’t get it - then - a world of hurt your had to face with the client.
The capture is the easiest - film selection defined your style - and predicting exposure with limited frames determined your profits. And I haven’t even brought about the challenges of flash.
This is downtown SLC - a scene of the sun peaking during just the right time of the morning. BW with this golden light is a challenge - where color becomes dramatic and a no brainer - BW is unforgiving.
