Damn, a very very strong start to the weekend 😃 Jeff, your GGF was a watchmaker? 😮
I haven't started a weekend thread in ages, but this week I actually wasted a little film on a rainy day, from the shelter of my dining room. :-)The old family toolbox, which originally belonged to my great-grandfather. It's still heavy with the tools of his trade.
I really like this image! What's the film and developer combination here please?

Ah, that's true, all my guitar amp tubes have a layer of metal somewhere or other (as I recall). Also, what does it look like when the tube is powered on? Does the light from the filaments blow out the photo?

Does the light from the filaments blow out the photo?I remember taking some shots like that several years ago but I don't remember how they came out. What I did was shut off power to the tube just before clicking the shutter. That way I caught the glow as it was fading away. I did this as a long exposure in dim light to try to reduce the glare on the glass. I could try that again using the back light. I think it would look best in color to get the orange glow. I wonder what a flash bulb would look like just after the flash? That would require some precise timing.

What I'm saying is that I really really want you to do this 😁
