Photographed July 2018 / Canon FP 35mm SLR with Canon lens mount Convertor 'E' + Meyer Optik Helioplan 40mm/4.5 lens. Film was Ilford PAN 100 metered at ASA 80 developed in PYROCAT-HD (6ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 5min 50secs, 20*C). Negative was digitalised in a JUMBL scanner unit, image processed & finished in Flickr. Notice the astonishing sharpness (right to the frame corners) of this Meyer Optik Helioplan 40mm lens.
She was trying to untangle the three small dogs - with no help from the bigger ones. The small ones wanted to say hello to us - or anyone who passed by. Dignity prevented the bigger dogs from behaving in that manner.
Containing three miles of hiking trails, a deep (for Ohio) gorge, and plenty of wildlife, Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve is a location worth visiting and revisiting!
To get this view, one has to choose the more challenging Rim Trail, and hike up and down the rock face surrounding the gorge. This was shot very close to sunrise with an ND filter, in hopes of getting some separation in the sky.
For those that know my work, very seldom do I crop as heavily as today's piece. Not only did the 4x10 crop save an otherwise bland negative, it gave a whole new light to a new favorite shooting location!

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 & 'scanned' with an iPad mini using film scanner app. Image was processed & finished in Flickr. First attempt with a Rolleicord TLR handheld 1/100sec @ f16. Pretty good performance for a camera which is about 80 years old and with a three element uncoated lens.

Voigtlanders fast lens selection is nothing if not impressive. Full complement of sub f2 and sub f1.4 lenses. Leica has them too - but the full Voigtlander kit can be had for what one of Leica's lenses cost - and you are not cutting back on image quality either!
The two mile hike known as Buckeye Trail is quickly becoming one of my favorites to shoot! This trail connects the already popular Old Man's Cave trail and Cedar Falls, and contains some hidden gems of its own.
This is Broken Rock Falls. Some days it's just a neat rock face, but with a few days of on and off rain, it becomes a very photogenic waterfall. Normally these falls are a little too far out of reach to get a good composition. Here's another situation that new long lens saved the day!

Photographed July 2017 : KODAK 2-C Autographic Junior (Bausch & Lomb Rapid Rectilinear) adapted to transport 120 film. FOMAPAN 200 rated ASA 100 exposure was 1/100sec @ F16, developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B> 600ml , 6min 10sec, 20*C).Negative illuminated on a light box and scanned with an iPad mini using Film Scanner app; image was then processed in Flickr. Cropped to 6:9 ratio. Negative is somewhat overdeveloped for amount of exposure : the shutter on this lens is no where near 1/100s (I measured it to be 1/50sec>1/75sec) and fairly erratic but not a bad result for a hand held photograph from a camera nearly 100 years old (young?)
The imagination and sheer audacity of modern architecture never fails to deliver- disappointment, do they use a Lego set?

My comments will delay..
By the end of the year it will be all over the wall top.
Wafer thin depth of field, you do forget how much less you get with medium format. Very cruel on the focusing.
This project, so far, has been a series of disasters and near disasters. I have heard so much about Pyrocat so I decided to try some. I developed 6 sheets of pricey ACROS Neopan according to the Massive Dev chart times and temperatures and got: 2 completely clear sheets, 2 sheets with an image so faint that I couldn't tell which shots they were and 2 sheets with barely recognizable images what were completely unscannable. To call them thin is such an understatement. They were anorexic and then some.
Undaunted (OK, slightly daunted) I undertook a research project. I scanned the forums, I studied the documentation in the box and on the company web site, I asked friends. To call the body of literature on this developer "cryptic, inconsistent and contradictory" is similar to the characterization of my thin negatives above.
Now, admittedly daunted, I undertook the scientific method. I loaded 6 sheets of the fogged Delta 100 (I still hate the TSA) and fired off 6 identical shots of a contrasty but easy exposure of the fence in my yard.
I tank developed two sheets as per the directions on the web site: 5:15 mins at 80F 1:1:100. The thin but scannable result is the upper image above.
Next, I stand developed, in a tray. One sheet was removed at 45 minutes and the other at 1 hour. 1:1:200 at 60F. This is the fairly good (allowing for the fogged film) and is shown in the bottom above.
The last two sheets I'll try stand processing in my tank to see if that works.
Anyone who knows anything about this developer, particularly for processing sheet film in tanks, please let me know.

Interesting how the sun from upper right does not fall evenly. It is an inherently contrasty lens the Jupiter 8, at least this copy is there is some variation.

To get this view, one has to choose the more challenging Rim Trail, and hike up and down the rock face surrounding the gorge. You've got to be up pretty early during the Summer to get the light just how you want it, but boy is it worth it!

I had spent some time near this location making pictures and was headed back to my car when I noticed that the picnic area was full of people. I believe view cameras really thrive when there is a density of information to be recorded. It allows one to scan over a picture and see all the possibilities, the gestures, expressions, and other other human elements that can appear as separate compositions within one picture. For the photographer, it is fun as well, because often there are things being recorded that the photographer is completely unaware of; a gesture here, a conversation taking place there, someone unexpectedly staring back at the photographer; it's like a little gift of spontaneity amidst a planned photograph. I placed my nephew at the picnic bench at the very right of this picture.
Hocking Hills has no shortage of water cascading down from rocks. Typically, Cantwell Cliffs has only tiny falls, but the icy grip of winter puts an interesting spin on them. As long as there's enough water flowing to keep the icicle growing, some cool flows start to form on their iconic falls. Perfect chance to bust out the long lens and get shooting!

Photographed August 2018 / Rolleiflex 'Old Standard' with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7.5cm/3.5 lens. Film was ILFORD HP5 PLUS metered at ASA 320 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 7min 15sec @ 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light box and ' scanned' using an iPad mini and the FilmScanner app, a medium grey (zone V) reference negative was used to calibrate the scanner and get the 'correct' exposure. Image was processed & finished in Flickr.
One of the great design - the Jensen Interceptor - for if you really wanted complexity - the Jensen FF. Good looking car - resembles the Maserati Mistral, which is not a bad thing . Big and thirsty Chrysler V8 - but comfortable cruiser and it could handle 4 people - though the back seat is a bit cramped.
Interesting effect on this roll. I did run it with 4 more rolls of XX. When I took them off the drying rack, the XX was fine and the Aerecon had changed polarity and sucked up all the dust in the darkroom. Must of it could be wiped off - but in the future I will run my Kodak electrostatic brush over them!!! never seen this before.
One of the first sights encountered on the Old Man's Cave Trail is this little waterfall, located just a hop, skip, and a jump from the visitor's center. This is usually a place I skip by when traveling down to Old Man's Cave, but early morning a few months back, I had to make it the warm-up shot.
Believe it or not, this is the exact same falls showcased here:
