In my set: Dan's Water World

This is taken on the Chicago Riverwalk, about 200 ft South and down a flight of granite steps from my image "Skyline Bridge". The rotting wood and chains drew me in, but I stayed for the wealth of fine details...check out the wood grain and all the spiders in their webs!

Mamiya RZ67 Pro II & Sekor 110mm f/2.8 lens at 1/90th f/11 on Ilford FP4+ rated at EI80

Developed in HC110 dilution B (1+31), for 7:30 ("normal" for FP4+ @ 125 is 9:00) to offset the added exposure. Negative came out a touch thin, but this is a new film and new developer to me so I'll need to run tests.

Scanned on Epson V600 with Vuescan Professional, some minor adjustments to contrast and "clarity" along with some capture and output sharpening in Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS5, but still very true to the contact print on grade 3.

We changed our plans for a big day out because the weather forecast promised rain. Instead we spent the afternoon in the local park. I was cursing the forecasters as the day stayed warm and sunny. However, actually we ended up having a lovely time - all the kids in the park played nicely together and we sat back and watched, making the odd daisy chain as requested. Sometimes its good to keep the entertainment simple.

I went out for a bit but ended up towing it home most of the way.

Shiny chain links on the bright blue new rubber matting at our local pool, where we went swimming this afternoon. We tried out the hydrotherapy pool for the first time, and it was heavenly warm ... like a hot bath!

I was hard at work on a project all through the weekend until today. Now I'm freeeeee....! Perhaps I didn't need quite so much depth of field here, but I was experimenting.

Rusty chain along the water's edge at Fort Point, in San Francisco, California.

This mine was built in 1858. In 1892 there was a big explosion and 160 people died. The explosion was caused by mining gasses.

The company lasted for decades. Per year 320.000 tons of coal was excavated from deep deep down below. In 1969 the company shut down and it has been abandoned since.

No 20 of Sharon Boggon's stitches was the Butterfly chain stitch and this week we were offered a beaded variety.

I hope you visit the site.

It is easy to learn new stitches there, sometimes challenging but that's part of the fun of learning.
