Kicking this off with some salvaged photos from a slightly broken camera.
Nikon F-801 and cheap zoom lens that came with it. The lens was covered with this sticky rubberized paint that I scraped off using some 90% isopropyl, so now it's just black and shiny without any marks of it...

Nice composition, O2!

Here's another prism portrait for a series I'm working on. I took the original photo on a Mamiya RZ67, and am currently working on enlarging it to 5x7 with Arista Ortho-Litho (developed with D-76 diluted at 1:4) so that I can make a platinotype. I've made the intrapositive; still need to get back to the darkroom to contact print the final negative.

I found a roll of Fujicolor 200—not sure how old—tucked away that I had forgotten.  Since the weather has been so good this week, I decided to use it up on my daily walks.

Lovely shots everyone!

I decided to take out the Pentax 6x7 for a test run with a friend who just bought a Bronica SQ, like the one I had. I took a few shots of him wide open at 2.4, with the 105mm, to test it out. It was nice and warm for January here in Philadelphia, however, it was very overcast.

Shot on the Pentax 6x7, 105mm 2.4, Foma 100 developed in Microphen stock for 7 minutes.

Thanks, Kai-san.

Great!

Thanks. Lots of luck in that shot coming out at all, if I'm honest. Taken from a pitching tender, through an open hatch on the other side, leaning over the back of the seat in a way that could easily have snapped several vertebrae, and a lot of hoping.

The backstory makes it even more amazing!!

Braxton, I really like that third shot. 

02Pilot, that’s a cool shot but I have to ask, what’s a pitching tender?

A tender is a small boat (usually dual-purposed, also serving as a lifeboat) that they use to get people on and off a ship in ports that lack the facility for docking large vessels. This one happened to be pitching; they are not very stable to begin with, and the weather and other traffic were keeping the water stirred up.

In a sense I suppose it does. I was certainly pleased to see it when I developed the film.
