The Round House, used to be a rail engine service area - now it is a very nice community centre with exhibition spaces and rooms for various activities.
The is stopped down to f22 and focus on the closest edge of the building. Nice straight rendition.
Photographed February 2019 / Rollei 35S pocket camera with sonnar 40mm/2.8 lens. Film was Rollei RPX 400 bulk stock metered ASA 200 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 50ml B > 600ml, 7min, 20*C). Negative was scanned in a JUMBL scanner box unit and the image was processed & finished in Flickr.
I decided to mix up some Pyrocat JD - and realized that I was out of Potassium Carbonate for the B solution. Google came to my rescue and by using Sodium Carbonate instead - it worked though you use 75 gram per 1500 ml of water instead of 15 grams of Potassium Carbonate.
Seems to work fine with the Across and some Sunny f16 shots.
Photographed August 2017 / Kodak 1-A Autographic Jr. folding bed bellows camera (1914-1927) with Kodak Anastigmat 130mm/7.7 lens in ball bearing shutter. Originally for 116 roll film camera was re-configured to transport 120 roll film. The film was ILFORD 3200 DELTA PRO metered ASA 1000 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 8min 45sec, 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light box and scanned with a Pentax k3 DSLR and Rodenstock RODAGON 60mm/4 enlarging lens on a 17-31mm helicoid extension tube. Image was edited on an iPad mini using the Snap Seed application: full frame scan of entire negative 110mm x 58mm without trimming.
Photographed August 2017 / Kodak 1A Autographic Jr. with Kodak Anastigmat 130mm/7.7 lens. ILFORD 3200 rated 1600 ASA (film expired Aug 2002). Developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 10min, 20*C).Negative was illuminated on a light table and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using Film Scanner app. Image processed in Flickr. Because the film was 15 years out of date there was a LOT of background fog & stain: the negatives were VERY dark. I decided to try and scan them anyway (I have a very powerful light-box) with the result shown but with this film I would advise against using out of date stock especially with PYROCATECHOL based developers.
Photographed August 2018 / Rolleiflex 'Old Standard' TLR with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7…5cm/3.5 lens. Film was ILFORD 3200 DELTA PRO metered at ASA 1000 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 8min 10sec @ 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light box and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using film scanner app ; a medium grey reference negative was used to calibrate and get the 'correct' exposure. Negative was processed & finished in Flickr.

Over nearly the next week, images from my trip to the greater NE OH area will be bleeding in. Early last month, I was invited out to John Powers' house, walking distance from Cuyahoga Valley National Park, to partake in a meetup of like-minded, crazy film photographers. The meetup was fabulous, many a gorgeous print was shared, I got to try a whopping 7x17" camera, and even got taught first hand how to develop film by inspection. All for the low, low price of absolutely FREE!
The next meetup is Sept. 30th - Oct. 2nd, if anybody wants to make it out. You can find out more info here:

Dawson's magnolia (Magnolia dawsoniana) is a magnolia species native to the provinences of Sichuan and Yunnan in China, usually at altitudes of 1400 to 2500 m.
It is a small, ornamental deciduous tree that can grow to heights of 20 m. Leaf shape is obovate to elliptic-obovate, 7.5-14 cm-long, and is bright green above and glaucous underneath. The white to reddish flowers are large (16-25 cm wide), fragrant, and appear before leaves. It was first discovered in western Sichuan in 1869 by Père Jean Pierre Armand and was introduced in western cultivation in 1908, when E.H. Wilson sent seeds from plants growing near Kangding, Sichuan, to Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. They are, however, rarely cultivated.

It has been raining for at least 5 days now. Today was the first day with any sun - so some frantic shooting at sunny f16.
This is with the Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8. I prefer the Ultron 28mm f2.0 - but thats my personal choice and not a reflection of lens quality.

Photographed March 2018 / Rolleicord II (Carl Zeiss Triotar 7.5cm/3.5) ILFORD HP5 plus rated ASA 320 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 7min @ 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light box and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using the Film Scanner app. (Possibly the most useful application for photography ever invented!) Image was then processed & finished in Flickr.
Given the gloomy day I was at f2 and apparently wrongly, chose to focus on the foreground, didn't work too well.
For the past 13 years, there has been a fantastic, Nature photography focused contest down in Hocking Hills, OH called Shoot the Hills.
www.shootthehills.com/aws/FHHSP/pt/sp/shootthehills
Heading down there on behalf of LumoPro to do a presentation on macro photography, I found some free time to shoot some large format. Even though it was early morning, there was still quite a bit of contrast to the scene, and I think the the combination of FP4+ and the new spot meter handled it very well!
Bottom line, being less than an hour drive from Columbus, I need to shoot down here much, much more!
In this final image of my most recent trip to Hocking Hills, I finally found an opportunity to shoot my latest lens, the Schenider Symmar-S 480 f/8.4. This is a much longer lens than I am used to on 8x10, and after about four months with it, am finally starting to "see" with it.

Anybody living in the Midwest of the US right now will tell you this couldn't have been taken this year. Here as 2015 comes to a close, we're being hit with very warm weather, leaving many of us with a brown XMAS. At the beginning of the year, however, we did have a bit of snow to shoot. By the time I got around to processing that film, it was already melting. If there was ever a time I'd like to think about snow, it's XMAS Eve.

This was my second set-up/composition at this location; at the first, I had set up the camera with a range of movements to adjust focus area (shift, fall, swing; tilt to preserve verticals). But when I decided to make this exposure from a different viewpoint, I was short on time, and so did not re-center the camera. All I had time to do was to focus as best I could - I focused on the center of the top portion of the cross, and was pleased to see that the flowers were also acceptably sharp. The result is almost miraculously close to what I'd envisioned. I would have liked to preserve sharpness further down the height of the cross, so that more of the flowers and rebar were sharp, but I'll take it.
Lochalsh Woodland Garden is part of the Balmacara Estate a highland crofting estate owned by The National Trust for Scotland and runs through film at a pace.
This I think at closest focus for the Summilux 50mm and pretty wide it was getting gloomy at this point and deep in the woodland.

Photographs made while exploring and documenting Ohio’s State Nature Preserve system. Some of the only places left in the state where nature remains uninterrupted. These lands are underappreciated, underfunded, but rich with a subtle beauty that I revere with my view camera.
