So I'm back home, I've put in a new power supply in my computer and I've started scanning my vacation films. Now I'll have some printing to do..........

Hasselblad 501CM / Zeiss Planar 2.8/80 / Fomapan 100 in HC110

Yay, a sea theme, here's some from the Philippine Sea.  Olympus OM-1 with Agfa Vista 100 expired 12/2007.

A great start Kai especially the second shot and that is some lovely colours from the expired film from Bryan.
A couple of FP4+ portraits with the C33 from a City of London event a few weeks back

I'll go with Kai's theme.

Sognefjord, Norway. 1980. No idea what it was taken on - too long ago.

Thanks Irv, I love the guy with the Clark's Stores bike! Pete, that's a nice shot from Norway's longest fjord (205 km).

From my last color roll.
10+ year old Gold 200. I'm surprised at how it came out.

Also just back from vacation! Went to the central coast of California with some Fuji Pro 400H.

A day at the beach, Summer 1924. My dad (on the right) and his cousins, at Venice Beach, looking north toward the Santa Monica pier.

Camera unknown, appears to be 116/616 format

Venice beach sure don't look like that anymore...

Nope. Los Angeles was a relatively small city in the early 1920s, compared to New York and Chicago, but it rapidly caught up. In the 1900 Census, population was 102,000; in 1930, 1.2 million.

I don't have any later photos of Venice to compare, but I have a couple of Laguna Beach: one of my grandfather's 1940 Kodachromes, and one I shot with the Rolleiflex in 2018. Even into my childhood in the late 50s/early 60s, Laguna was largely a "summer colony", with most of the population arriving at the end of May and leaving in early September. Pre-WW2, only a few diehards built in the hills above town. Now, the hillsides are covered with houses and the town's crowded year-round.

Wow, I actually have some new pictures ready for a weekend thread AND they include sea pictures!

Portland, Maine at the mail ferry terminal. It takes passengers as well, and it's a beautiful, relaxing ride around the islands.

K1000, expired Agfa HDC+ 100.

Howdy! I'm just plugging along, working to make a good living for my cats Also trying to get myself out of my photography rut. Next step is to finally start developing my back log. I have no idea what's even on any of the rolls, they've been sitting there for so long!

Maybe developing those rolls will give you back some inspiration
