I've had nothing new (that I could post here) either so an oldie from me.

This was from just before Christmas, we were dog sitting for a friend.  I wanted to test shooting the Crown Graphic 34 handheld with a flash.  I used a Press 25B bulb and set the Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens to 1/100.  I set the aperture based on the Guide number divided by the distance.  The film is expired GAF Versapan that I rated about ISO 12 to 25 in daylight.  I used 25 for this shot but I'm thinking it should have been closer to 12, it seemed at least a stop under exposed.  Maybe the blue bulb had something to do with the exposure on Panchromatic film.  One other thing I learned from this, DawC doesn't like flash bulbs.

another year another year of film wasting!!!
I hope more people join in, as we seem to be shrinking in the weekend threads.
I still enjoy them!
My offering is from a very dinky 35mm plastic camera with a 28mm lens that a friend sent me before Christmas.
she found it at a 5 Below store (5$) which is an inflated Dollar store of sorts!

I used some expired Fuji 400 and easily convinced a friend to pose at the beach during the Christmas break...

I just went into deep storage, fired-up the time machine and got something from way back in 1993!

Great pictures! I really enjoy the weekend threads, even if I am not posting anything. They are always an inspiration. Somehow I have been taking less pictures lately. I feel I am one of those who dropped the ball here. On the plus side, I started making prints, so hopefully will be able to start sharing something again.
