Pentacon Six TL w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 120mm f/2.8 and Kodak TMax100 (Kodak Xtol 1:1, Ilford rapid fixer). f/6.7, 1/500s. Epson V600 and EpsonScan @ 4800 dpi, downsized to 2400 dpi. Retouched and cropped.
Ever since I've gotten back from Hamburg I've been a bit paranoid about the P6's lightmeter. Except for when you got a white background and a dark skinned model in front, the lightmeter is usually quite accurate with the fresh battery.
However, I've noticed that my F3 tends to overexpose a stop or two whenever I'm in doubt.
In this particular case I thought that I had underexposed two stops due to the overexposed readings I got in the shade with the F3. So I decided to push the film to EI 400 (a bit extra is usually never a problem with an underexposed negative). But I read from the wrong line in my notes, so it was the times for Xtol stock. Luckily it was only about one stop push for 1:1. The negatives turned out just on point. A bit more contrasty than you expect TMax negatives to be, but that's probably due to the push.
In hindsight, f/6.7, 1/500s isn't that far off from Sunny 16 (ie f/16, 1/100s for ISO 100), which would be f/8, 1/400s or f/7.1, 1/500s. Just 1/6 of a stop difference.
I really like this series. Strong-minded nudes of an athlete in harsh light. It could be a propagandistic photos for Freikörperkultur. It was also the first time working with this particular model, who usually just do wedding fairs.
The location however, it was a bit ironic. Because when I scouted it a couple of days in advance it was almost completely empty except for some customs officers (it's near the Öresund Bridge), but when we did the shoot on a Saturday, it was quite a bit more people. So we couldn't use all the locations that I had in mind.

This is the fifth year in a row I have decided to publish a calendar to give as gifts to family, co-workers, and if I have a few left over, even sell a few.
Last year's subject was piers of Southern California. This year, I had a tough time deciding what I wanted to use as a theme, hence, my late start.
After coming home with a few keepers from this year's Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, I decided to go with the theme -- yep, you guessed it, balloons.
The one Mass Ascension I was able to attend though, was cancelled because of wind, (ironic, huh? since that's what makes them move through the air -- but too much of it is a very bad thing) and I needed something I didn't have -- a shot where literally countless balloons fill that amazingly blue New Mexico sky.
I decided to go into the archives -- this is from five years ago -- the 2007 Fiesta.
If you've never seen the Fiesta, it's really a bucket list item -- especially if you like to shoot photos with lotsa pretty colors. There's nothing like it.

Daily Dog Challenge 2796. "Foreground Interest"
That would Henry, who loves to stand in the absolute most in-the-way spot for playing fetch with Toby.
In the back, dutifully returning the with ball like the good retriever he is, is Toby.
The unseasonably cool morning was appreciated by all.

Pentacon Six TL w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 120mm f/2.8 and Ilford FP4+ @ EI ?? (Kodak Xtol 1:1, Ilford rapid fixer). f/4, 1/60s. Epson V600 and EpsonScan @ 4800 dpi, downsized to 2400 dpi. Retouched and cropped.
First photos from my latest visit to Hamburg. This one was taken from a series from the court at a pizzeria at Sternschanze.
The light in this location was quite tricky. The meter on my P6 told me f/4 & 1/60s @ EI 140 (halfstop between 100 and 200), and my Nikon F3HP gave me the same reading, but at EI 320 (I had TMax400 in it that I later developed in HC-110).
I developed the TMY first, and the frames from this location was maybe a stop overexposed. The model had another brighter jacket on those photos, so maybe it wasn't a fair comparison?
Regardless, I decided to push this film with Xtol 1:1 (which increases the boxspeed a bit, and holds back the contrast) instead of going with HC-110 as I had planned when I shot the film. I'd rather overdevelop the film a bit than underdevelop it when I know that the model's agency expect usable photos. So I just picked EI 500 from the Xtol data sheet, 13min @ 21.1 C / 70 F - even if EI 200-250 would probably have been more correct.
The negative didn't turn out on the denser side. Sure, you could see some overdevelopment, but it wasn't much. But then traditional grained film is more willing to take abuse and Xtol is a fairly moderate developer when it comes to overdevelopment.

Week 29 in 52 Weeks for Dogs and again we are in the local park, with Taivas posed under the climbing frame.
The focus is a bit off on this, I'm not sure why, maybe the lens wasn't focusing properly.
