I acquired a No. 2A, Brownie Camera Model B several years ago at an estate sale. I paid $12 for this camera but at the time I didn't realize that it shot obsolete 116 film. It sat in a cabinet collecting dust until recently when I discovered Film For Classics filmforclassics.com/ during an online search for 116 film. FFC distributes their product through various online retailers and I bought a roll of their 116 HP5+ from Blue Moon Camera, bluemooncamera.com/.
FFCs respools modern film in several obsolete formats, to include 116, 616, 127, and 828 and I bought this roll to run through my No. 2A Brownie. Overall I am pleased with the results from this first roll of film. This picture is of my wife, as we were out inspecting our pastures following a severe winter storm at our place in Northeast, KS. I developed this roll with HC110 Dilution B.
On the downside, the film from FFC is pricey, and I also had some light leaks on this roll of film, probably due to the roll coming unraveled after finishing it. The next time I run film through this camera I will ensure that I download the film in a dark room.
I've been wanting to take shots of the old boat hulls for a long time now, unfortunately it was bright sunshine and hardly any cloud but it's a good excuse for a future fist when the weather is more favourable.
I started this yesterday, for Upside Down, but it is also fine for today's theme.
The We are Here challenge on August 6 2020 was: Upside Down
and on August 7 2020 was: CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 STOP THE SPREAD
Ladies Day at Southwell Races. my first experience of a day at the races and it proved to be a great day out for my wife and I, 18th August 2019. Only downside was our lack of betting skills, seven races, fourteen bets, only one winner, bookies up £50.00.
Downside of leaving Earth for 6 months? All that mail to catch up on. Luckily, they're not just bills - Thank you to all of you who sent me letters, cards and drawings. I look forward to looking through them!

One of the joys of digital photography is that I am taking far more photos than I ever did when shooting film. The downside is of course, the work involved in sorting through them all and the ever-growing backlog. Still, as problems go, it's a nice one to have. :-)
All of which is a roundabout way of saying that I still have a ton of photos from my holiday in Morocco last year that need to be worked on...this is one I've just got around to tweaking.
It pays to look up sometimes. I took this in Tinerhir, while strolling around the town. This window was quite high up, but within the range of my 70-300mm zoom and this little boy seemed to enjoying looking down on the passing tourists.
The downside to leaving the house at 4:30 in the morning to go to work? Getting up at 4 in the morning. The upside? Some pretty killer sunrises.

Mon retour à l'argentique se fera avec lui, mon Foca Sport II et mon Yashica FX-3. Je resterai en 35 mm avec le maximum de confort. Seul bémol, le flash du Fuji ne déclenche plus...Si quelqu'un a une idée, je suis preneur. J'ai utilsé ce petit Fuji pendant des années, il est même (un peu) tropicalisé...oui...oui. Je prenais de super photos avec lui, pas étonnant qu'il soit prisé sur Ebay et par les adeptes de Lomography. Bon, il a pris quelques coups avec le temps puisque je le trimbalais partout et il était resté planqué au fond d'un tiroir, le compartiment des piles tient avec du scotch mais bon...j'ai fini une première pelloch', on va bien voir. Le film avance seul et se rembobine seul. Le flash a même une option "fill-in" (enfin, quand il fonctionne). J'utiliserai sans doute du film Fujifilm C200.
Et ce que j'aime surtout : il tient dans une poche :)
My return to silver film will be with this camera, my Foca Sport II and my SLR Yashica FX-3. I will stay in 35 mm with maximum comfort. Only downside, the Fuji flash does not trigger ... If anyone has an idea to repair it, I'm interested. I used this little Fuji for years, it is even (a little) tropicalized ... yes ... yes...waterproof exactly. I was taking great pictures with him, no wonder it's a popular camera on Ebay and for Lomography fans. Well, he took a few strokes with the time since I lugged it everywhere and he was stashed in the bottom of a drawer, the battery compartment holds with tape but ... I finished a first pelloch ', we will see well. The movie moves alone and rewinds alone. The flash even has a "fill-in" option (well, when it works). I will probably use Fujifilm C200 film.
And what I especially like: it fits in a pocket :)

One downside of being in Texas during the Summer is the heat.
Texas is/was experiencing some of the hotest and driest weather in 40 some odd years. I kid not when I say that it felt like someone was blowing a full-body-sized hairdryer on you on 'Turbo' mode the moment you stepped outside.
Non-HDR shot taken from our hotel room in Marble Falls, TX at the end of a very hot and dry day.
The Boy's Summer camp was about 10 miles beyond this photo in the distance.

One downside of a skirt this short is that she can get "Basic Instinct" moments very very easily. I dumped about 3 or 4 shots because of that.
There's more coming with this model in this outfit and the scooter, so watch this space.
Lies Baas 2010 I took this shot while laying on the ground with a fisheye lens. The lamp is almost like a candle in the wind(tunnel).
A rare trip off the Black Isle took me to Glen Affric, a magnificent wooded glen not far away from me. Here is a large fragment of the Great Wood, an ancient relic of the pinewood that covered the Highlands. It is being restored to it's full natural glory and is just beautiful.
The downside is that it is usually full of visitors. It is perhaps the best known example of natural caledonian pinewood, and it is accessed by a twisty, single track road that can be a nightmare drive with tourists who have no idea about driving on such narrow roads.
I have avoided it for that reason as I like my woodland visits quiet, respectful and tranquil, which is frustratingly impossible when the tourists are about. The lockdown has changed that, although there were a few folk up there it was just stunning and peaceful. The weather was glorious, too!
One of the downsides of working in LDD is that it's very fussy about collisions and legal connections. In the LDD model on the right the fourth of the 2x1x2 bows won't go into place because it collides with the one above. Hence the study model on the left which reproduces the exact setup and proves that in fact the piece will fit nicely underneath. My desk is cluttered with loads of these little study models just to check stuff is going to work for real.
Not long out of the nest that fragile platform of twigs that had been home for a few weeks both as egg and hatchling.
The downside as far as we are concerned is that these were introduced as featured immigrants with the best of intentions but they are breeding so fast that they are becoming a menace.
The downside to being a photographer as a profession is when it becomes a job. Just like a writer having Writers Block, PhotoBlock is a thing too. Eventually it will pass - maybe when I can get through a day without wanting to get away from photography.
This is a transparent watercolor on white watercolor paper. I also used a fine point black pilot pen. I painted this watercolor myself. MAKE MUSIC, NOT WAR!
