Back wasting film
« on: February 20, 2006, 02:53:04 PM »
Team, I've been really quiet recently with regard to taking photos, but I finally managed to get to the lab to pick up one sheet oif negs and drop off two more films for processing. Hope to pick 'em up on my way home. That will give me 3 rolls to scan for February's Grabs section....let's see if I can up my usual ratio of 1 acceptable snap per roll.  ;D

How's everyone else been doing recently? Shooting a lot?

my photo taking has been a bit slow recently - well, very slow infact.  the weather has been stupidly grey and miserable so no outdoor shots that I've fancied taking.  INdoors, I need some close up filters or something, my lenses have too far away minimum focus to get any good shots - I do miss the SL66 as that had bellows, but it went kapputt, so that was that. Now darkroom printng, that's another matter - lots of that going on.

Got about 13 rolls to develop myself, 8 from a Wednesday morning shoot alone since I was taking advantage of a rare relatively sunny day. Can't wait to see what you've got in store, Ed. Hope the construction project is going well and on schedule.

Bill, I'll assume you're just being friendly and not deliberately rubbing my nose in it  ::) My house is a bombsite, we're already over-budget and behind on time...but did we expect anything different. Heck no.  :-\

Nah. No nose rubbing. I leave that for eskimos. Just experimenting with a few cameras on a morning off in a forest preserve. Got lucky that day as it was sinfully sunny. Lately, I consider myself fortunate if I can get a roll completed in a week or two. This winter's been getting to me...  :'(

After months of camera neglect I attended a workshop this weekend on 'the theme of childhood'. Now have films to develop from the holga, the mamiya and the OM40. The blog might even get updated for the second time this year!
