Apologies for the mess of Autocord shots - I just got mine fixed and am stoked! This one's on Ektar 100.

You can google for a F4-U Corsair training video. It is fascinating. I'm surprised anyone could fly those planes in battle. I mean, there were so many things the training video said you had to do, monitor, don't exceed this or that value and what-not that I can't believe a pilot would remember to do them in the heat of the moment with gun fire on his tail.

Sunset over Safeco Field. I spent more time walking around taking shots than watching the game. But I made back to my seat to see the Mariner's winning home run. I shot a roll of color too yet to be developed.

I looked up the camera rules at the stadium before going. You can take pictures for personal use but no tripods or lenses over 200mm. Somehow I think that focal length rule does not consider how short 200mm is on a MF camera compared to smaller formats.

Thanks again Tuco for the monitor feedback - I downloaded the latest QuickGamma freeware and found I needed to tone down the contrast and brightness on the HP LED LCD, and adjust the gamma a bit... now things are looking much better

Mysterious.

Glad to help. Yeah, flirting with the edge of black is difficult to reproduce for everyone with computer monitors as the medium.

For me, a half-full stadium is like a half-full airplane. Much more comfortable, relaxing and you can move around. Stand developing in Rodinal is a great way to develop two different rolls of film at the same time which I did for these game shots. You can also do that with Prescysol EF which has one developing time for virtually all films.

I am enjoying the Autocord shots, so I say don't hold back

Thanks tuco, I will have a look for that.
I was amazed to read about aircraft training in WWII recently, apparently pilots were sometimes forced to transition to new aircraft on the way to the target. Crazy. Apparently there were a great many accidents, a much higher ratio than what is deemed acceptable today. I'll link you to where I read about this info if you would like.

The baseball shots are great! Great job on catching the moment with the second one.

That is nice - not always easy to pull out a shot with limited DOF. This one sure works. And you get good results from Rodinal 1+100.

Cheers,

Worth posting again anyway.

Thanks. I've had uneven development with stand development and Rodinal in the past. But this batch I tried a new agitation profile. It seemed to work on these two rolls. But I'll need to try it more to verify that of course.

Jason, I really like your stream shot. Excellent detail.
