Nice. Did you have to hike far for the shot?

A couple of weekends ago I hiked a mountain that was high and steep. I decided to take my dSLR to cut the weight down. I reached a spot and pulled it out to take a shot. But I forgot to put the memory card back in it. Talk about carrying dead weight. Stupid. For that trip, I would rather have remembered to bring the memory card and forgot the camera instead.

I didn't have to hike far at all really, this was quite close to a car park area! (I'm too honest! ) However I did do a bit of a mad dash up the steep walk trail to the lookout point. DSLR on one shoulder, 67 on the other and tripod in hand. I had arrived late in the day and only just caught the last light on the mountain tops. I'm glad I did it though.

That really sucks to lug a DSLR up a mountain and forget the memory card. It's very easy to do. I went to a car show last November with DSLR and a few rolls of film. Wanted to concentrate on the digital that particular day and just took the film along as "fun". Of course I forgot the memory card... Pulled out the MX and the battery died on that too, but thankfully that wasn't a show stopper.
...
But of course, taking multiple cameras on any walk uphill is another matter altogether!

That's why my memory card never leaves my K-5 !

Thanks Frederic! The second shot of the girl with the rose is lovely.
To be honest I'm a bit surprised that you guys seem to like my shot that much. Perhaps it's because I can only see the flaws

I'm quoting myself from FM forums:

I've been developing all of my B&W films in Fomadon R09 ("Rodinal") for the last months, but I thought I'd try something else. These are shot with Pentax 67II loaded with Tmax 400 and developed in Tmax developer 1+4. The grain is finer and the tonality is easier to handle in the post processing, so I think I like it! :-)

All are shot with the SMC 6x7 55/4, which really is a great lens. I can hardly imagine the later SMC 67 55/4 to be better, but it probably is.

The fun of trying new film/developer combos. Nice series!

The Pentax 6x7 Lens Guide shows the 67 55mm having 8 lens elements instead of 9 as in the 6x7 55mm with a shorter min focus distance plus the extra weight of 110 grams of mass.

Nice results Martin.
I haven't tried Rodinal but recently have been using Ilford ID-11 which is supposed to be very similar or the same as Kodak D-76. Prior to that the only dev I have used is Tmax at 1:4 same as you.
I seem to see some pretty distinct differences between the two. For me the Tmax made a very contrasty negative with good sharpness but a fair bit of grain in general. The ID-11 1+1 resulted in much less contrast but finer grain. However I need to sharpen (add USM) more after the scan to get it how I want with the ID-11.
I think I'm kind of preferring the ID-11 but have another 2 bottles of Tmax arriving soon. I would have just stuck with the Tmax if I could, but it was hard to find over here for a while.

But I do agree with tuco, it's fun to experiment.

As an aside, I know some people who are in Stockholm at the moment. Apparently you get a lot of sun over there at this time of year?

lnorton, excellent. I am also enjoying that 35mm A lens on my 645D.
