Stuck in the house - ice storm plus taking care of Shannon and her broken shoulder - no work today. So...let’s develop some film. #hc110 #hc110stand

@loadfilminsubduedlight Here’s a shot I took on #agfacinerex - the first is cropped square from standard 35mm. On the second I cropped to the person walking. I shot this on a Minolta X700 with a 50mm 1:2 prime lens and developed it in Rodinal - 1+100 for an hour.

I’m ready for all the 80s have to teach me. I should have paid more attention the first time

I clearly don’t need another camera but I couldn’t resist. A Minolta srT202. What a beauty. Works like a charm - even the meter seems spot on. It was owned by the Davenport (Iowa) Community School District who etched their name on the back. I picked it up from Goodwill for next to nothing. I’d like to think there are dozens - maybe hundreds - of people that learned photography with this camera. I have a thing for Minolta’s and this looks like it may become one of my favorites.

Here's a collage of my #totaleclipse photos taken at totality. The #diamondring was taken with a 500mm zoom. The #corona was taken with a 300mm zoom, and the small ones were taken with a 200mm lens. All were shot on expired film using old film cameras. I might have $100 invested in everything. Looking back to a week ago I'm still in awe of the event. The photos are just a bonus.

Why can't you hear me crying

I shot this on St Patrick's day. A few weeks later some idiots set fire to the bridge. It's completely destroyed now - a damned shame. (at Cedar Covered Bridge)
