Title: Halloween Weekend 2022
Post by: Bryan on October 29, 2022, 07:11:56 AM
A short trip for work to Southern California.  Leica IIIf with a Leitz Summitar 5cm f/2 lens.  The film is Ilford FP4+ developed in beer. 

I was on Balboa Pier in Newport Beach when this guy saw my camera.  He asked me to take his picture.  I told him it was film so he wouldn’t be able to see it right away.  I took it, then he left, I guess he just wanted his picture taken, didn’t care about seeing it.

Very nice portrait, Bryan!

Here the autumn is progressing, birds are gathering for the long trek south and the last flowers are getting pummeled by strong winds.

My dad with his younger siblings, Halloween 1930. The negative appears to be 122 format, so the camera was possibly a Kodak 3A Autographic.

Finally developed a Minox cassette that I started in 2019; here are a couple fun frames.

You definitely got more success than I did with that cassette I had that was taken by my grandpa in the 1970's

Wow what a find! Too bad they didn't turn out. I will say, even 2019 feels like a different time. My roll was pretty hit and miss too, largely due to my overconfidence in my ability to handhold a slow shutter, but I ended up with 5 or 6 decent ones including a few pre-pandemic public spaces. The first one above was taken in the chocolate shop.

Yeah, the fog simply overwhelmed the images. I was really disappointed but there isn't much I could do.
At least it gave me a chance to print a custom Minox spool for my Paterson tank 😁

Friday morning walkabout with some fellow local filmwasters.
This was near Old Town Albuquerque in a nice park that we ocassionally have meet ups at.
Holga 120S with deep yellow filter and tri-x developed in some leftover green tea I had from the coffee shop.
THis guy, Alex, metal detects most weekends and finds Civil War era stuff...buttons, a few canon balls, etc. Cool!

Last Thursday I had to go somewhere fairly nearby but hadn't been there before, and while checking the route saw a nearby park owned by the  National Trust. Been ages since I did any filmwasting, so put a roll of Rollei Retro 400S in my old Agfa Optima 335 (which still has functioning batteries!) and took that with me. While the main part of my journey was a bit of a fool's errand, at least I got some pics out of it!

We had some high overcast (good light) so I managed to get out into the forest and try out a odd lens.  This lens is meant for 70mm film so the vignetting is the actual image circle on 4x5.  ;D In this resized pic it doesn't appear very sharp, but the original is quite sharp.
Toyo 4x5, Elgeet Militar 76mm f2.8, Kodak Aerecon (Plus-X), Dektol.

A bit late but I've just developed and scanned the roll. New to me Berlin, one of the Lomography films. Taken at the Hebden Bridge Pumpkin Festival a couple of weeks ago.
