But how much did it cost you in 'throws' to get that shot?

Good to see people getting together to have a bit of fun and raise a bit of cash.

Looks warm. This gal had to bear a little harsher conditions.

Fun to look back some older negatives. From the early 90's. I'd get any volunteer to practice portrait light setups. I'd record the setup so I could both tweak the strobe ratios based on the results and duplicate the lighting easier the next time.

Nice one Tuco. How do you take notes? I have a pocket size book and keep notes for the same purpose like you, but I have been thinking about having a rubber stamp made for my notebook pages with fill-in-fields like date, camera, lens, film, aperture, speed, +/- EV, weather, subject etc. and check boxes. Regards

Thanks. I use a small paper notepad too. That rubber stamp idea sounds interesting.

Harsh? That's just downright MEAN!

Nice photo

Tuco: VERY nice portrait! The model has a really "classic" and classy look.

I took these a couple weeks ago of a skyscraper in the Shinjuku high rise district called the cocoon building. They were shot with the 67ii and 55/4 on Tri-X400. Developed in Fuji SPD.

BTW, if you are ever visiting Japan I highly recommend that you pick up some Fuji Super Prodol (SPD) and give it a try. I prefer it to D-76, HC-110 and Ilfosol 3 by a long shot!

They have a full line of photo paper and all the chemicals for developing and printing.
For developing they have Super Prodol (SPD) and Microfine. The latter is a little bit more work. SPD comes in powder form, can be dissolved in room temperature water and used immediately, shows very low noise and isn't fussy about agitation patterns, has similar development times to D-76 for most film types; but amazingly is tweaked for Fuji Presto and Acros, which only require 4:15! And it's cheap. A bag for a 1 liter batch costs 260 yen (US$2.60). Five liter bags cost 810 yen!

Fujifilm also has a couple of developers for photo paper but I haven't used them. They also have a full line of stop bath, fixer, quickwash, and drying agent.

Thank you. I'd been taking some shots around Cromer Pier and had just caught up with the rest of the family when my daughter in law spotted the cyclist on the beach and pointed him out to me. I had three frames left on the roll and that was the middle one.
