Topic: Let's call it a weekend. 6/5/2020

Hello all,

I hope you are well!

I made this pic a few hours before a derecho* flattened the yard and everything in bloom. Too bad, but there's always next year.

Have a peaceful weekend!


* I've never heard of it either until now, but basically the wind goes from zero to 80mph in a heartbeat. I hope to not see another.

Scary stuff!  Luckily we've got nothing like that here, only a broken windowpane.

Hi there folks, long time no see. I have a few shots from this past week at the George Floyd protests in Philadelphia:

First two were shot on Tri-X at 800 and the last two in Fomapan 100. Stand-developed in HC-110 at some dilution (I added 15ml to a pitcher of water). Pentax 6x7 with the 105mm 2.4

That's some crazy weather Jeff, we're lucky to see a thunderstorm here.  I really like those shots of the protests Miguel, nice job, don't get tear gassed out there. 

Last week I posted a shot from the Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic that I replaced the bellows on, it has the Rapid Rectilinear lens.  These are from another one I have that has the simple meniscus lens.  The Rapid Rectilinear lens is a little sharper.  These were shot on Ilford HP5+ and developed in beer.  The VW shot is cropped, hard to frame a shot only having the little prism finder.

Hi Miguel!
It's definitely been a long time. I was starting to wonder if it had anything to do with the Montreal winter trip?

That's pretty gutsy of you to go to a protest with a camera.

I wonder how the word derecho came to be used for that phenomenon. Derecho in Spanish means right, as in the wind has a right to go from zero to 80 in 3 seconds flat

Another couple of shots of things around my home shot on Foma 400 in HC110

I wonder how the word derecho came to be used for that phenomenon. Derecho in Spanish means right, as in the wind has a right to go from zero to 80 in 3 seconds flat 

Derecho also means right as in right-hand, and straight. Apparently it's the latter meaning used for the weather event

Really fine photos, Miguel.

Back to flowers for me.

The Philadelphia Protest and Mask Portrait shots stand out for me in this week's thread as does Kai-san's window.

Stretching the limits of Covid 19 isolation, I ventured to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for some personal business and to continue photographing US Route 1.
