I didn't get to use the 4x5 camera as planned due to a 4 yr old & 2yr old running around - as it was, the 2 yr old attempted to chuck my Yashicamat into the lake but missed and it landed in the bushes at the edge of the water!
I bought a Vena Amsterdam box camera at a flea market. I didn't expect much from it and immediately flipped the lens. This is the result (6x9): more than was visible through the viewfinder and with 638 scratches. I hate both :-))
I had three bad medium rolls in a row, two colour, one b&w. Double, triple exposed but they were bad beyond bad. This is the sole survivor.

I'm not as much a fan of big, open, flat, sandy beaches as I am of the rougher, rockier kind. As such, I generally don't spend much time on the shores near Lincoln City, but when I do, I gravitate toward the rocks. I had already made a couple exposures of this rock and kind of put my cameras away when a group of high school kids ran out and climbed up on it between the waves. The tide was slowly going out, but while it was this rock was still mostly cut off from the beach with dry access being fleeting. They sat perched out on it for a good long while, getting splashed by the occasional taller wave. They remained perched atop their little island for me to drag my camera back over and make several long exposures of them. I was working with about minute long exposures, trying to keep them both long enough to get motion blur but short enough so that their not-quite-still postures would't blur too much. A couple walking by noticed my efforts and remarked that it was too bad they had run out into my shot. I explained that I actually enjoyed the incidental figures, I think of them as anonymous, volunteer models.
