: It's the Weekend - December 10-12, 2021

My last photos from my adventures in the desert southwest.  Leica IIIc with Panatomic-X expired 3/1963, developed in Kodak HC-110 dilution B.  The first one was on my drive home .  I stopped at Goosenecks State Park in Utah.  After that the weather got bad so I just kept on driving until I got into Idaho where I spent the night before driving the rest of the way home the next day.  This was shot with a Leitz Summaron 3.5cm f/3.5 lens.

This is a Sandburr, a grass seed, several of them hitched a ride on my socks while I was hiking.  I didn't realize it until I got back to my hotel room.  You don't want to step on these barefoot.  After almost hitting my head on the ceiling I did a little dance until I realized what happened.  Good thing nobody saw that, I cant dance.  I took a few of them home and shot it using a Leitz Focaslide with a Leitz Elmar 5cm f/3.5 lens and a few extension tubes.  It's just under a centimeter in size.

That's gotta be one of the weirdest seeds I've seen in a long time.
We do have plenty of thistle in the fields around here. But that's about as strange as it gets seed wise.

Nice shots gents! I have nothing to offer this week but I just loaded the Bronica S2a with Tri-x. This will be the first roll through since I replaced the focusing screen, so I'm hoping for some nice critical focus.

Sorry to contaminate this B&W thread with color, but at least it's redscale 😁 I've made it a pandemic habit to take a quick walk arond the block every morning. This man is always sitting in this spot smoking a pipe, and I've tried to capture a shot of him without him noticing. This is probably my fourth or fifth shot/attempt/day and I finally nailed it. Of course I didn't just ask him if I could take his picture, that would involve talking to people, are you mad?? 😂

I was keen to use a roll of HP4 that expired in October 1981, unknown storage conditions until it came to me, and decided to try it at 50iso in my Solida I. It didn't sound right when I was winding it on, and unbeknown to me the backing paper had come loose from the film, and the film got exposed to light when I opened the back. At home I re-taped and rewound the film and went around town. Most of the frames had some light damage on one or two edges, but with a few usable images. Paranol S 1+50, 11m39s continuous agitation at 17.8C. With this shot I think I guesstimated the focus well!

Can I still be in the band if I'm actively salvaging film?  ;)
