Saturday was foggy all day, something that's really rare here. 45 minutes before sunset, I felt the urge to go take some pictures. Seeing the results, I kind of wish I'd been out all day.
Pentax 67, Shanghai GP3 100 220, Rodinal 1:50 16 minutes.
Randsburg, California.
This concludes my postings from Thursday's 8x10 adventure.
I did a Google search of images using keywords I could read on the car and bike, and I think that's a 1954 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe, and in the window is a 1964 Yamaha Santa Barbara. The Yamaha is noteworthy because it is the first production 2-stroke motorcycle to feature automatic oil injection.
I like how the deflated rear tires level the car to the building.
Randsburg is a strange place. It is a little bit ghost town, a little bit desert-rat bedroom community, a little bit living museum and a little bit off-road crowd watering hole.

This was my last sheet of 8x10 Shanghai GP3 100. It was offered on eBay at a bargain price. It was double notched, with the more prominent notch on the wrong side. Once I figured that out, and once I figured out to shoot it at EI 50, it yielded pretty good results. No worries though, 35 sheets of Fomapan 400 will arrive in today's post. Far from being a favorite film, but a bargain is a bargain and at EI 200 it's decent enough. With this being 8x10, the excessive grain won't be an issue.

Local ruins just up the road a few miles. Pretty busy scene. I've taken test photos of this subject, but this is my first cut film effort. I think I can do better, so I'm going to keep at it. The desert summer furnace is lit, so doing things in the morning and heat precautions to keep film from getting cooked are in effect.
Taken a couple days ago, then spent yesterday developing, scanning and editing it and four other 8x10 images taken that day. I'll post two of them in the coming days.

First photo with the Intrepid 8x10. I've had it nearly two months, but it had some deficiencies that required correction before it could be used. Then it took a bit for the Sinar to Linhof adapter to arrive - since nearly all my lenses are on Linhof boards. And I fabricated a bail for it. That took the longest to complete.
The next time I go there, I need to check to see if that's a true icebox made for a block of ice to be thrown into.

More streaky 8x10 Shanghai GP3 100. As previously reported, I bought two boxes of this stuff. Sheets from the first box had streaks in the emulsion. I opened the second box, and they were good... for a bit. Now they too are streaky. One sheet I just pulled was double notched with one notch where it belongs and another along a long edge. My first-first box of 8x10 was also double notched, but with the more prominent notch on the wrong side of the short edge with the proper notch. The emulsion of that box was good, and I got three of my wall worthy photos from it. That's why I bought two more boxes. Then my 3x4 had blotches in the emulsion. So far, my box of 4x10 is good. And five rolls of 120 were good.
In conclusion, the stuff can't be trusted. I can use it to fiddle/fart around with silly subjects like this, or use it for testing/training of lens/ND grad filter combinations, but it's not going to go with me to Death Valley, Yosemite, Bisti nor anywhere else now that this box also has streaks.
First time using the Apo-Nikkor 480mm 1:9 with a Packard Shutter mounted on the front of it.
Pretty obvious I don't know what I am doing wrt photographing highly reflective objects. Time to hit the books! But you can see that I was playing around with the optics of putting bottles behind bottles.

A nice little RR/desert scenery find beside Garlock Road not far from US-395. Just a tad of 4x4'ing to close the final 250 ft. from the road shoulder.
Yep, the 160 mile long left-lateral strike-slip Garlock fault runs right under here.

About a dozen head of cattle with a few horses mixed in to my right and behind me.
This sheet has some horizontal streaks, but they were few, somewhat wide, about ⅓ down from the top, and I was able to remove them with the inpainting tool in Affinity Photo 2.
Since there seems to be a mix of good, not so good, and streaky bad sheets of Shanghai GP3 100 in my inventory, my strategy is to just use it. When it's good, it's amazing, so it's worth trying. If a subject is especially important, then I'll use something that is trustworthy.
Quercus douglasii, known as blue oak, is a species of oak endemic to California, common in the Coast Ranges and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is California's most drought-tolerant deciduous oak, and is a dominant species in the blue oak woodland ecosystem. Wikipedia

Complete with roller coaster and Ferris wheel. Hasselblad 500cm, Shanghai GP3 100 (220 format), Rodinal 1:50.
First time shooting 120mm. I was trying out a medium format camera from around 1937 (a Photo-Plait Duxo Prontor II) that I've had for some years.

Finally had enough film exposed to justify a Rodinal party.

There was some fairly strong vignetting in the upper corners, and Affinity Photo 2 was used to remove it.
I printed 8.5" x 11" proofs of all three versions of this subject. The first one works the best. The other two are just too harsh, too many sharp jagged lines. I never quite know what will make the transition to the real world.
No streaks on this sheet, so it was one of the good ones.
I shot three sheets of 8x10 at this spot, two GP3 100 and one with the mishandled 3XTP20 [jumbled so it won' t come up in a search]. Then three sheets at the other spot up in the mountains. At $3-4/sheet it may seem like a big expense, but it was minor compared to the cost of fuel to drive the FJ Cruiser 300 miles that day.
