Wow, brilliant light and shadow! well done Tuco

Thanks

I have been needing to get back down to that section of coast. It is a treasure trove of good things.

Yeah, a nice place. I've been going to the little park by the bridge since my youth. The park has been there a long time. There are a few picnic benches and now an outhouse. And the State now wants to sell our public land to us for profit at $10 a visit. And if you don't pay, it's a $100 fine for trespassing on public property.

More trucks. I'd like to go back to this place in the morning hours.

Looks like a lot of potential there. And it also seems that 400TMY is the film of choice for old vehicles
Did you use a filter or develop for highlight compression on these? The sky is quite well controlled considering what looks like bright sunny conditions.

Thanks. Yes, I used an orange filter. And I over exposed and under developed the film. It's kind of my go-to setup under these bright conditions. It has so much exposure tolerance it just makes shooting with the Sunny 16 a lot easier. It's a long ways from home but I'll be stopping by that town and visit those trucks every time I pass through the area for sure.

Thanks for the info. I will likely start experimenting with similar techniques soon.

I like 80S a lot when it doesn't have one of a host of quality control issues.

Do you mean like is an M2 is a camera?

A few years ago I stumbled across a bulk roll of Kodak Panatomic-X at a photography swap meet. Recently I've been going through my old stuff and found the bulk loader still with the Panatomic-X inside. All I ended up doing back when I got the bulk roll was shoot a test roll; after that a general lull in motivation has meant that the bulk roll hasn't been touched until now.

A few days ago I loaded up a roll of 10 or so frames and shot them during my lunch break. Unfortunately I thought the film was ASA 25. So I over exposed by a stop to make it ISO 12. I then developed in ID-11 1+1 for 9 minutes at 20 degrees, which was the base time for D-76 printed on an original brochure for the film.

As it turns out this old film didn't need the over exposure, and my results turned out somewhat overblown and dense.
I'll shoot some more of this soon because I figure that there is point leaving it sitting around unused.
Even with being 30 years expired and over exposed I had to reduce the level of my normal sharpening routine in Lightroom!
Next time I'll probably shoot it as ISO 25 or perhaps even the box speed of 32.

Nice image. The angle you picked suits it well.

Good deal. I still have about 75 feet on a bulk roll of Panatomic-X remaining. i'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever use it up.

Thanks. I think that is one shot I wish I had a roll of color film loaded.

Why not just shoot it? Or alternatively even a partially used roll would probably fetch some cash that could be redirected to other things. I had a quick look online and there's someone selling rolls of 120 for $25 USD each 😲

On the topic of slow films, I bought 5 rolls of Rollei RPX25 recently so look forward to trying it out. Hopefully no quality issues and no spotting.
