I posted recently about Ilford PanF 50+ & how it must be processed as soon ASAP after exposure. This is the full roll. The earliest exposures are mostly faded, they were from the beginning of August. The next couple rows have strong highlights but the midrange and darks have faded, those range from late August through October. Halfway throught the four row starts with balanced negatives with decent density, these were taken in the last week of November and the film processed the week after.

I’m questioning whether the Linhof Technika III 6x9 fits in my rig. I’m exceedingly fond of it but using it with the ground glass takes as long as setting up an LF rig, at which point I may as well use 4x5.

So, I thought I’d try a roll using it as a rangefinder. The serial #’s don’t match but maybe it’s close enough.

While I would prefer to just use new film, I'm still on a steep learning curve with photography and the cost savings is sometimes significant (I've also been given bags of expired film) and, I have to admit, I like the experimentation as well.

Requiem for urban forests, public spaces, and the dreams we had of better futures for all of us. Somehow we lost that and the world got mean.

This park was bulldozed today. 850 trees gone as a public park is transformed into a moneyed playground for private profits.

, cool, I've not seen an Ikoflex in the flesh yet but I now have three Zeiss Ikon folders and am quite enamoured with them.

(Exciting side note, I may be able to add to my Fuji GX680 lens range at a camera show. It is, so far, probably my favourite camera but I have only the 100mm/f4.)

, they are great but I really can't justify 3 55mm's with the limited space I have. Plus, I'm picking up two more lenses for my GX680 this weekend and they are larger than many cameras...

A Humber River view with three different Takumar 55mm lens as I try to decide which to keep:
1. 55mm/f1.8 Super-Takumar
2. 55mm/f2 SMC-Takumar
3. 55mm/f2 Super-Takumar
All shot with an SP1000 set at f11, 1/60s on Ilford FP+

(I think I’m keeping 1 and 2 and including 3 with a bundle of Pentaxes I don’t need.)

, it is another tool in the toolbox. Great for someone who learns to use it well and a terrible proliferation of terrible images from the ones who don't. There are a lot of bad photos, paintings, sculptures, music, and writing out there too.

The bigger quandaries with AI, at least for me, are the scraping of other artists' work without credit or compensation and the massive environmental hit from the energy consumed.

Exciting news: I have booked my first art show! Well, it is fourteen months away, so it may not be my first when we get to it but exciting!!

Will I still be so fascinated with fake beaches by then? Who knows?!? (Yeah, well, you’re right. That’s unlikely to change.)

The bents of the Gardiner Expressway.

Also, a bit of a camera flex - 1/8s handheld - well… handheld as in an enormous and heavy camera on a neck strap, but still a flex. Took one at 1/4s as well but I preferred this framing.
