Kodak Kodachrome Film: Right before it was discontinued, I knew that it would become a piece of history, so I grabbed the webpage display of Kodachrome film for sale on Kodak's site. I plan to post this on flickr's various pools that are slide and/or Kodachrome related. It was possible to process Ektachrome at home. I processed many rolls of Anscochrome GAF [if you remember that one] at home. It took many more steps than B&W film. I believe all together it was about 12 counting the rinses. It also took a "reversal exposure" before the second developer. I am not going to get into it too deeply here. Kodachrome on the other hand took many hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment if not a million in some high-volume labs. The three layers of filtered B&W had to be individually infused with RBG dyes. There are still a few labs around that will process Kodachrome film and movie film at a premium price. I have 16mm film for the late 1940s and the color has held up wonderfully because of the stability of the dies. The wizard of Oz was shot in "Technicolor" which is the Hollywood presentation name given to using this type of film. Other slide film have displayed tendencies to extreme color shifts as many people can attest to. Kodachrome required much greater amounts of silver which were needed during WW2 so cheaper films were developed such as Ektachrome.

Addendum: That's strange for Kodak to continue to make Kodachrome Slide Film KR-64, where only one lab in the world is processing it!!!
The 1297th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion received Maryland’s “Outstanding Unit” award by Military Officers Association of America during a ceremony on Feb. 24, in Havre de Grace, Md. The unit successfully accomplished its wartime mission with supreme professionalism and skill which significantly contributed to the combat operations in Afghanistan.
“This is our way of recognizing units in the community whether they are active, guard or reserve,” said Maj. John Whitman USAF (Ret), president of the Maryland counsel of chapters of MOAA. “This unit had an outstanding service record in a combat environment.”
In May of 2011, the 1297th CSSB deployed to Afghanistan to provide sustainment support on an area basis to U.S. and specified Coalition Forces in Regional Command-South (RC-S) for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) 2011-2012, by enabling further operational reach to disrupt insurgent forces, secure population areas, build national security capability, and support the growth of governance and development in order
to build a stable Afghanistan.
“I accept this award on behalf to the Soldiers and NCOs of the 1297th, you made it happen,” said Lt. Col. Charles M. Blomquist, commander of the 1297th. “I am new to command. I have just taken over from Lt. Col. Weedon Gallagher and I wish he could have been here today, I know he is proud of all you accomplished during your deployment.”
The 1297th CSSB sustained the synchronization of all commodities flowing into and out of Kandahar Airfield (KAF) in support of all combat arms units throughout the RC-S, RC- RS-W regions. The 1297th CSSB provided superior sustainment support to over 70 units. The 1297th CSSB managed seven subordinate units from the active and reserve components.
The 1297th CSSB executed over 500 successful Combat Logistics Patrols (CLP), traveling over 500,000 tactical miles which translates to 3,500 drive hours. These movements required the 1297th CSSB to schedule and supervise the upload, haul, and delivery of over 40,000 customer supplies worth $70 million to various points within RC-S. The 1297th CSSB's management skills enabled the successful transportation of these supplies with minimal damage and without a single loss of life.
Within 10 short months the battalion improved jurisdiction wide CLP operations by incorporating sustainment operations as well as demand-based CLP missions. In the process, they reduced the average size of each convoy from 5O to 25 vehicles and increased the frequency of deliveries to their customer units from 10 days to 7 days. This concept was defined by National Afghan Trucking-centric planning which contributed to the counterinsurgency by employing more Afghan drivers and helping build the
local economy.
The 1297th CSSB maintained constant operational responsibility for the largest multi-class Supply Support Activity (SSA) in Afghanistan in support of OEF. Responsibility and oversight included the receipt, storage and issue of 12,000 lines on the Authorized Stockage List (ASL), valued at nearly $55 million. The SSA ensured over $175 million worth of equipment retrograded out of theater. In addition, the 1297th CSSB's Central Issue Facility (CIF) managed 2,300 lines of uniforms and other Class II valued
at over $26.1 million. The CIF provided superb customer service to 15 BCTs
consisting of over 400 supply accounts and 27,000 customers. The CIF
processed 215,000 transactions valued at over $70 million. The 1297th CSSB's CIF also developed a training program for the ANA partnership that will be used as a model for future partnership training programs contributing to stabilizing Afghanistan.
Another critical and important element of the 1297th CSSB's mission and contribution to the war effort was the planning, development, execution and oversight of contracted initiatives to include massive infrastructure projects on KAF. Some of these contracts provided the local Afghan population with jobs, helping to empower them and rebuild their nation after decades of war. Soldiers from the 1297th CSSB performed duties for
31 contracts totaling in excess of $39 million.
In addition to providing heavy lift support throughout RC-S, the battalion partnered with the ANA 205th Kandak and trained them on logistical operations. The battalion's efforts were instrumental in developing ANA logistical independence. The battalion partnered with the 205th on seven convoys traveling to remote ANA bases located all over RC-S. These convoys successfully delivered over 450 supply trucks containing all different classes of supply and 200 pieces of rolling stock without taking any casualties. The training focused on training the trainer, leaving the ANA NCOs with a valuable internal training capability and causing them to take leadership roles within their formations. The
training model used by the 1297th CSSB was distributed to other units within RC-S and then further to other RCs within Afghanistan.

This one was hard to shoot, and took a bit of patience to get. And you're probably thinking, how can that be, it looks straightforward. Well, my first composition from this point was to be just looking across Morrison Lake to a cottage on the other side, but the dull flat sky made the image boring, so I turned the camera until I found a shot I liked, and this was it. The trouble arose because I was standing on a less-than-stable dock, it was a matter of standing perfectly still until the motion stopped before pressing the shutter.

Starting to develop/scan my own film. This was the first roll I did last week. An old roll that I developed pretty much as an experiment. Boy did I make a mess of it...dust, scratches, wrinkles, dents, hair, waterspots, etc...etc... Still, that being said, I like things that are rough looking. AE-1 + Tri-X
Landowner Larry Brown has been working with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) District Conservationist John Wagoner (cowboy hat) to create a site-specific conservation plan that includes a pollinator habitat enhancement plan to address the improvement, restoration, enhancement, or expansion of flower-rich habitat that supports native and/or managed pollinators with the use of tree/shrub establishment and fence practices at his property just south of Ennis, Montana, on August 29, 2019. Mr. Brown saw a local newspaper announcement that informed him how USDA could help. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

With many navies developing more and more powerful and capable armored cruisers around the world, the Vinnish navy sought to make sure their next cruiser would be able to compete. At first, the Sumpflands were to have a conventional layout, with just two main gun turrets. Then, that changed to three, then four. The problem with this then was the question, how much value do more guns have when they can't all train on the same target? An ingenious, albeit controversial and mechanically and practically questionable solution was engineered to solve this problem.
The turrets would be able to physically traverse across the deck to the opposite side to attain an optimal firing position. This was achieved via rails laid into grooves across the deck. The turret would unlatch from its barbette, slide across the deck, and anchor itself to a port on the opposite side. After firing, the recoil would assist in throwing the turret back along the track to its barbette, where it would lock back in place to reload and prepare to travel again. Although somewhat simple on paper, in practice this system proved to be complex, maintenance intensive, and vulnerable to catastrophic failure in battle. A well-placed hit could blow a turret right off of its barbette, or jam it into place and prevent it from traversing or traveling. However, despite these complications, the idea was actually implemented on the lead ship of the class. It remains to be seen whether this unique innovation will be of benefit or detriment to the Vinnish navy in combat.
This photograph shows what a full port broadside would look like, with the starboard side turret "slid" into position.

A stiff paper is best, but there's a lot of stress where the curves meet the edge, so you'll want a tough paper, too. Something long fiber.
To process in R3 Monobath I warmed it to 27 degrees C. I turned off the lights and then loaded the film on to developing reel and placed slowly into tank. Started the timer already set for 6 minutes. I gently turned film reel by hand for a few seconds and screwed the lid on the tank. I then turned the lights on. At the end of the 6 minutes I unscrewed the tank top and removed the film and placed in a beaker filled with tap water. I poured the R3 back into its container. I then returned the film to the tank and used Ilford method to wash the film. Final rinse was in Photo flo. Simple as it gets.
Some of the images that show signs of streaking from the sprocket holes but it was not as pronounced as on first roll which had to gentle agitation at beginning of development.

Nikon F80 & Agfa Apx 100 developed in HC 110
Shot back in nov/dec 2007, while working on a location project and desperately trying to get 2 frames to complete the 12 I needed.
Neither of these made it, but I always liked the look of them on the contact sheets.
It's nice to look back on them. I hadn't been shooting very long and Jess was a very young pup...
Good times.
The ZELL programme was developed at Edwards AFB by Lockheed to launch a functioning Starfighter from a stationary position. It would have been used in the case of a pre-emptive nuclear strike by Warsaw Pact forces on German airfields. Over US $25M was spent on the programme which transferred to Germany with many successful launches from an air base near Munich. It was cancelled in 1966 due to the operational difficulties of transporting & loading a ZELL Starfighter, low crosswind tolerance and a lack of range for the returning aircraft if all the usual runways had been destroyed. This is the only ZELL-equipped Starfighter in the world and carries the markings of the original German test machine.
The Luftwaffen Museum, located at the former RAF Gatow airfield, is an excellent large collection covering all aspects of German military aviation. Unfortunately, only one of seven hangers is actually open to the public (Hanger three). Hanger 1 is the restoration area, but Hanger 7 clearly has a "50 years of the Luftwaffe" display inside with some good aircraft, but is no longer open to the public. Other interesting aircraft can be glimpsed inside hanger 6 too through windows and doors.
Its a real pity, because what is on display is excellent.

In 1997, the PA-46 was developed from the very successful PA-36 'Nove' as a special climate conditions version - namely for the use in desert regions. Tests and tactical reports from Africa had shown that Earth Defense Forces were in dire need for a more climate-resilient powered armor than the standard PA-36s and PA-58s, which suffered heavily under dust and extremely high temperatures.
Field modifications and enhancement packages were hastily developed, but these proved to be unsuitable for the battlefield. The biggest problem was overheating and fine dust getting anywhere, especially into the engines and the joints of the legs.
As a consequence, the PA-46 was to be a complete package for tropic and subtropic climate and harsh conditions like low air pressure in great heights. While being based on the PA-36 hull, the 'Nettai' became an independant PA development and finally received its own designation, PA-46. As a PA-36 evolution, Its bulky hull offered enough space for additional installments like a heavy duty heat exchanger, various dust filters, a dust-repelling system based on compressed air (ducted from enhanced and dust-proof engines), an enhanced sensor package and an improved climate control for the pilot.
Basically, the duty profile of the PA-36 was to be kept, which included the PA's ability to make a jet-assisted jump of at least 820m at 85 km/h and keep a ground running speed of 28km/h. In order to keep up with this profile and the additional systems running in the backgorund, more powerful engines had to be installed, raising the power output from 34ps to 42ps. As a side effect, dry weight rose dramatically so that the PA-46's suspension had to be augmented, too. All in all, the PA-46's weight even outclassed the beefed-up PA-36K 'Berlon', but the PA-46 was ordered into production since no short-term alternative was in sight for troop introduction in 1999, where this special profile PA was desperately needed.
Around 140 specimen of the PA-46 were built and mainly used on the African continent and in Middel East Asia. While the original PA-46 was not delivered with internal wepaons, it was compatible with the full weapon range of the PA-36, what made the PA-46 very versatile. Weapon field packs like the simple HR-670 'Wrist Racate' (a set of six single 70mm 'Thunder Crush' artillery missile launchers) were other frequent additions, as well as modified and sometimes improvised communication systems.
Despite its sheer weight and bulk which limited its use, the PA-46 became a reliable weapon in the Northern and Middle African conflict theatre against Idelian forces and saw frequent use until 2013, when it was retired or used to retrofit PA-36 units with spare parts.
