Photo of my very first medium format roll, photographed by a Pentacon Six TL.
There is still one more photo that I will upload from that roll...
R. De Meulenaere Scania G410 6x6 articulated tipper outfit seen on the outskirts of Ostende, Belgium.
This is my second of a continuing "one roll shoot" sessions. I find a model, and I shoot one roll of black and white film. No big productions, no crew, just get out and shoot. I've got 36-ish shots to get something good.
In this case, I decided to shoot medium format, and since the Mamiya 645AF only gives me 16 frames per roll of 120, I shot two rolls (32 frames). Which is close to what I'd have gotten with 35mm and one roll. Hey I make the rules, I can do whatever I want.
This is Ilford XP5.
I've been on Crocker Springs Road one time. I was looking at this photo and realized it was a year ago this month that a friend showed me this abandoned cogeneration facility. I'm not sure how long it has been forgotten, but, obviously the turbine and generator were moved offsite. The plant was a 26 MW combined cycle facility using a LM 2500 Gas Turbine with Air-Cooled Generator and Evaporative Cooler. Apparently, there was also a 3 MW Coppus-Murray Steam Turbine Generator.

Next generation of "Ram". This demonic appearance has actually a pretty routine explanation: the horns are really just a radar aerials for advanced sensor systems of this hardsuit. "Aurochs" can absolutely ignore zero-zero visibility conditions on the battlefield and is often used for stealth operations. Some modifications also have special "light ray distortion field" (LRDF) generators installed. You can guess what they are used for.
|I managed to get a cockpit without any gaps in the armor! I failed to make some better arm connections though... Still trying to apply some unusual bricks, but not succeeding yet.
The result of my experiment with medium format, Fujichrome Velvia and snow! very difficult to scan a Velvia slide - this one went back to scanner 3 times - still managed to reproduce only about 70% of attributes. I folded shop and sold off the Mamiya after this - cant afford the workflow. I had planned this shot from my previous trips waiting for the hut in front to glow golden yellow! Spot metered from the hut
Sorry I missed the comments from some friends - finding time has been difficult this year.

Notes: Rudolf Eickemeyer, Jr. (August 7, 1862 – April 25, 1932) was an American pictorialist photographer, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was one of the first Americans (along with Alfred Stieglitz) to be admitted to the Linked Ring,[3] and his photographs won dozens of medals at exhibitions around the world in the 1890s and early 1900s. He was famous among his contemporaries for his portraits of high-society women, most notably model and singer Evelyn Nesbit. Eickemeyer's best-known photographs are now part of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution.
