A bit wasted to use a 35mm f1.2 for scenes like this. The Nokton 35mm f1.2 is good stopped down too - and once you have gotten used to the size - it works fine as a "regular" 35 too
Photographed July 2018 / Praktica FX 35mm SLR with Carl Zeiss Jena 35mm/2.8 Flektogon. Film was Ilford PAN 100 metered @ ASA 100 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 5mon 40sec @ 20*C). Negative digitalised in a JUMBL scanner; image processed & finished in Flickr.
Lots of exciting stuff has been going on with alternative processes lately, but that doesn't mean for a second that I've given up on the Barbershops Project!
Established in 1965, Clipper has been serving Sylvania, OH customers two at a time for almost 50 years! Pictured here is the business founder's brother, cutting the hair of a local attorney. The shop was really a treat to be around, with mountains of memorabilia and little closet-style nooks around every corner.

I like puddles as they do reflect trees, buildings etc. They also provide dogs and small kids ample opportunity to splash through them.
The stand development gives bit lour overall contrast - this combined with the Retropan 320 and a 60 year old lens - yes, it is flat.
Looks like a pre-historic bird! The Distagon 18mm has a nice look to it. What I like about the Zeiss ZM lens line is that they all are pretty much the same in its rendering, just the angle of view changes.
Our current weather has some benefits - you can shoot wide-open without exceeding maximum shutter speed. The drawback is that you get wet!
Whoever hung up the rags on the fence to dry out - might have to wait for quite some time. March maybe?

My first use of Pyrocat HD, and not a bad result.
Front swing, to maximize depth of field along the line described by the fallen tree extending in from the bottom right.
I love B+W photography, but will say that it's a shame to lose the color of the water - the high mineral content makes it an alien green. I tried to give some impression of its weirdness by lifting it a bit in the edit, but can't quite get the feeling I'd hoped for.
Obviously a discount paint job. Somebody is going to have a hell of a time scraping paint paint zoo the glass!
Strategically placed paper box. You just put the camera on it - hold it level and let the AE do it'd magic. Probably around f8 and 1s.
We went to Costco, looking for an air filtration unit. Turns out it can only be bought on line. Did not need pallet sized packages of house hold paper either.
The entrance (more or less under the BC Stadium) is a symphony of concrete. Squeeky wheels from the carts echo nicely in there.
Shooting 100 iso at the moment means hand holding at 1/30s or even slower!
Just like the Turbo Diesel Coupe. One of my favourite designs from Mercedes.
Photographed August 2018 / Rolleicord Art Deco with Carl Zeiss Triotar 7.5cm/4.5 lens. Film was ILFORD DELTA 3200 metered at ASA 1000 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5mlA + 25ml B > 600ml, 8min 15sec @ 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light box and scanned with an iPad mini using the FilmScanner app. Image was processed & finished in Flickr.
Puddle with clouds, as usual no yellow filter when I need one, still the shot worked OK. The snow covered hill in the background is the one ascended last weekend, Parlick Pike.
I am always amazed by other peoples' work.
Some exceed my feeble grasp: like this or this. Totally outside my realm of seeing, and humbling in their visions. My work is pedestrian by comparison, too literal. Walker Evans looms above me. What to do? Follow my own muse, even a hunchback like me can see the light of heaven, 'ad astra per alia porci'
For 50 years + the Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5 was my macro lens by choice. I have others, 60mm Elmarit Macro, Super Takumar 50mm f4. Leica 65mm f3.5 for Visoflex etc - but the 55 Micro Nikkor always delivers when you needed to go close. However, the Zeiss Macro Planar is better and with a maximum f-stop of f2.0 - also gives a brighter view in the finder. It is portable - not comfortably so though. It is big and for walking around I usually take the Nikkor 55mm f3.5.
The Summilux is a late version, very good, but the hood is too close to the aperture ring and drives you nuts! I much prefer the Nokton 35mm f1.4 for the handling - and there is really no difference in the performance.
Even though the light was limited, it allowed me to explore the area in a more creative way than a conventional lighting situation would allow. I liked it though, because it's a lot more expressive of the environment graff artists are secluded to as they get driven more and more underground.
All fuzzy - though shall not try to shoot at 1/30s while walking! The Orion 28 is remarkably free from vignetting - even light across the field.
7x17, FP4 in Pyrocat HD. After doing very little personal work for the past year (had a job on) I am happy to be getting back to some weirdness.
The Color Skopar 35f2.5 is a respectable lens - even at f2.5 it holds up well. Minimum flare and sharp.
As usual, we tend to stand around outside Cafe' Zen after the breakfast - and take pictures of each other! This is at the closest focussing distance (0.7m) of the Nikonos III.
FomaPan 200 4x5 film
Developed for 30 minutes semi-stand in PyrocatHD @ 20°C using a SP-445 development tank.
Rather dark and gloomy interior - and bright sun on the rice in the fore ground. Fooled even the ZM's usually reliable AE system.
I thought I hadn't shot something longer for a while and nearly put on an 85mm then 135mm so compromised at the wonderful 105mm f2.5, a legend of a lens.
Student accommodation in the city centre, the 10.5 allows some selection to emphasise the style.
Should be subtitled: Room with no view.
Shot on Kodak TriX film with Bronica ETRSi, Macro Zenzanon 100 PE.
Developed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 for 14 minutes, presoaked for 2 minutes.
Vancouver looks good on a sunny day. Mountains, commuter trains etc and the "sails" of the old convention centre. Of course, those days are a bit rare in the spring.
A prairie farmer was askked about the snow capped mountains. "Sure, they look pretty, but they really block the view"!
Performance of HELIOS-44, 58mm/2, early 'silver' version with 13 aperture blades. Canon FP with Canon lens mount Convertor 'P' an M42-39 ring was fitted to the lens. Rollei RPX 400 rated ASA 320 developed in Pyrocat-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 7min 10sec, 20*C).. Negative scanned in a JUMBL scanner at 22 MP resolution. Exposure was 1/125 sec @ f 11.
