Raccoons, don't even go there.

The city's going to the raccoons? Yeah, I'd believe that.

Better than all the rats here in Vancouver, I think?

This was, I believe, my last roll of P30. This was also the first one to have any defects in the roll. (I may post one of the pictures it's visible on later.) 3 pictures on 1 roll out of 5? Yeah, I'll take that percentage for an alpha emulsion.

I gave up on waiting for people to get directly out from in front of my camera on this one, and just put a very dark ND filter on and made a guess at how long I needed to expose it for given my meter reading. Didn't turn out too badly exposed at all.

Based on the cars & the emulsion, I'm guessing a vintage shot?

Yeah, all the Pxp shots are from the same roll shot one fine morning at Old Orchard Beach, Maine in early summer, 1985. Actually I have a few other rolls shot elsewhere, a year or two previous that I haven't scanned yet. After I moved to Halifax I switched to HP5 while continuing to shoot kodachrome and the occasional E6.

Nice!

Only time I've ever seen no one around the Brandenburg Gate was when the wall was up. (For obvious reasons ) The Gate was in East Berlin, with the back part facing West Berlin and then the wall behind that. So the view from the West was not very good, your shot was from the better looking East side.

Yep, power lines are buried in most places.

Nissan Skyline R32? I can't tell, is it right-hand drive?

Yes, R32 GT-R. It is right hand drive.

I was amazed & irritated at how many people would look at the camera, and then stand directly in front of it and less than a metre or two away. Not even "in the frame" so much as "blocking all of it".

I've got some night shots from the western side that are relatively people free, but the scans still need a bit of work before I'm happy with them.

My neighborhood's been taken over by squirrels. We have lots of tall trees, and they are everywhere. Tree rats are all they are. Cute little tree rats. Don't ever let them gnaw a way into your attic. They can do huge amounts of damage.
