With no agenda or goals for the day, I decided to collect pictures of the Reverse Hoverhand. It turned out to be such a stupid idea that I created a blog for it: reversehoverhand.blogspot.com/
The Reversing Falls are a series of rapids on the Saint John River located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where the river runs through a narrow gorge before emptying into the Bay of Fundy.
The semidiurnal tides of the bay force the flow of water to reverse against the prevailing current at this location when the tide is high, although in the spring freshet, this is frequently surpassed by the downstream volume of water. The rapids, or "falls", are created by a series of underwater ledges which roil the water in either direction, causing a significant navigation hazard, despite the depth of water. As a result, vessels wishing to enter or exit from the river must wait for slack tide.
The Reversing Falls has also been an important industrial site for over a century. The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed the Reversing Falls Railway Bridge in 1885 and this structure was replaced in 1922; it is currently used by the New Brunswick Southern Railway. The railway bridge crosses the gorge immediately downstream from the falls, parallel to the Reversing Falls Road Bridge.
The location of the falls was the site of a foundry and other light industrial operations on the east side of the gorge, while a large pulp mill on the west side. J.D. Irving, the company which has operated the pulp mill since purchasing it in the late 1940s, has encountered some criticism in recent decades for maintaining the facility at what is viewed as one of Saint John's prime tourism locations. This criticism became most pronounced during the 1980s and 1990s when the city government created Fallsview Park on the former industrial foundry lands on the east side of the gorge. The Falls were even given the dubious distinction by one publication as being among the worst tourist attractions in the world.
During the late 1990s a tourist business was established, offering jet boat rides on the river in the vicinity of the falls; however the boats do not operate in the roughest areas which experience a 3-metre (9.8 ft) drop in water level over a very short distance. The operators tend to stay in the choppy waters immediately downstream and attempt to soak passengers by driving through small whirlpools at the base of the railway bridge. Another more recent development at the Reversing Falls has been its growing use as a whitewater kayaking location, made unique by the changes in formation of the rapids during incoming or outgoing tides.

So I scanned the film in as a positive.
Long story short - I developed two rolls of Ansco Memo 35mm found film that expired in 1949 in Diafine 5+5. In the same container, I also developed a roll of Verichrome Pan 127 that developed normally.
The two rolls of Ansco Memo film both contained images, seemingly at random, that either developed normally, exhibited solarization to some degree, or, extremely weirdly, just plain reversed itself into a positive image on the film. This also happened about 3 hours later with an old roll of 124 film that I shot in a Brownie box camera.

AZO postcard design used 1904 -1918
Macro shot of a mozzie. I really hate these flies in the summer. This is a cropped shot with lots of editing. It is not the best shot in the world but I like the composition and the fact that it was made using a very cheap lens set up. Handheld shot.
A timelapse video comprised of the frames used to make the synthetic long exposure image in the previous upload. Note how the frame capture rate has produced a sense of the "wheel" turning in reverse.
GBRf Class 66, 66731 "Capt. Tom Moore - A True British Inspiration" propels Class 92, 92020 into the Brush Traction works at Loughborough.
The locos had arrived on 0Y92 12:05 Wembley Inter City Depot to Loughborough Brush, with 92020 heading back to Brush for a warranty repair.
With the Brush Traction works due to close by the end of the year and this being the first time a Class 92 has been back to Loughborough for attention since GBRf started using DB Cargo at Crewe for their 'heavy' 92 work in October 2018, this could very well have been the last time an active Brush-built Class 92 returns to the famous works.

In 1789, members of All Saints Episcopal Parish (Frederick, Maryland) petitioned the diocese for a new parish to be formed in western Frederick County. In 1800, St. Mark's Parish was founded, running from the top of Catoctin Mountain in the east to the top of Elk Ridge to the west. The Potomac River comprised the southern border while the National Pike (MD-40) formed the northern boundary. The parish church was placed along the Harpers Ferry-Frederick Turnpike (US-340) in Petersville where many of the leading families in the new parish lived. The first vestry was elected in 1806 and work commenced on a house of worship, likely a frame or log structure. It was completed in 1807 but not consecrated until 1819.
As the congregation grew, the parish vestry realized the need for a more permanent, larger church. In 1827, the vestry authorized the firing of one hundred thousand bricks for the construction of a new church. Work was completed in 1830 and the second St. Mark's Church was consecrated on July 28, 1831. This church served the congregation for over sixty years. In 1835, the vestry authorized the creation of a chapel in the village of Brownsville to serve the residents who lived in the western part of the parish. This chapel became St. Luke's Church, which remains one of two surviving churches of the parish.
In 1890, under the leadership of one of the parish's most prolific ministers, Rev. Edward Trail Helfenstein, work commenced on the present St. Mark's Church. Designed using elements of Gothic Revival and Romanesque style, the third St. Mark's Church was consecrated by Bishop William Paret in 1891. Rev. Helfenstein also led in the establishment of two additional churches in the parish: Grace in Brunswick (1892) and St. Johns in Burkittsville (1896). Rev. Helfenstein eventually became Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland, serving from 1926 until 1943.
By the mid-twentieth century, the parish population had shifted away from St. Mark's Church. St. Johns in Burkittsville closed in the 1930s and in the mid-1960s, the original parish church closed, its members transferred to Grace Church in Brunswick. Though still owned by the Episcopal Church, St. Mark's has served as the house of worship for an Apostolic Congregation since the early 1990s. Restoration work was completed to the church in 2015.
The churchyard at St. Mark's contains the graves of many prominent local citizens including Francis Thomas, U.S. Congressman (1831-1841, 1863-1869) and Governor of Maryland (1842-1845). While serving in Congress, Thomas secured an appropriation to support Maryland's emancipation of slavery which was to take effect upon the ratification of the Constitution of 1864. When passed, Maryland became the first slave state to abolish the institution by popular vote. On the reverse of his gravestone which lies just behind St. Mark's Church is the following phrase: "The author of the measure which gave to Maryland the Constitution of 1864 and thereby gave freedom to ninety thousand human beings."
For long I thought reverse lens macro couldn't be achieved with my G lens. And then recently, I came to know about this free lensing technique and I had to give it a try. And voila!
It was great fun at the expense of virtually nothing. But without an aperture ring on the lens I still had only two f stops at the two extremes. The magnification is quiet pleasing but the trouble is in bringing something into focus with the very narrow depth and the screwed up focus plane.
So here are the few better ones I could manage in the last two days. I'm pretty sure I'll be trying this again. :)
Took a walk in Central Park and Jefferson Market Garden for some insect macros. Saw a variety of flies with a few other species mixed in. Came away with a few keepers.

I took this photo with an 45-150mm lense (Lumix G Vario H-FS45-150).
The orange background is actually a wooden table with a little color correction.
