Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

No scanner here. I used the flat-field micro option on my little 120 I.S.- one of the few options on the camera that focus properly.
Most of this work is 30+ years old, and a lot of it was printed on non-archival multi-grade paper- not the best paper for rapid fixer...

Theater school production promo photo. The college printer wanted washed-out contrast images for making posters. Ilford Pan F with an early pull from the developer solution. Bronica Sq-A 90mm f-2.8 shot wide open. 1977-78. Glam rock was in it's hey-day then...

St. Andrew's on the Red. circa 1978. Low water year for the Red.

Another shot of the Red from the same trip as above. Both taken on Tri-X shot at 320. Nikon Ftn with 28mm F-2 Nikkor aboard. Both were printed on Agfa Pearl. A lot has changed in this area. Since it became a national park, the roads got all paved, and the telephone poles dismantled, with the lines run under-ground. Church is still there.

Fire bell on an antique Portage La Prairie fire truck. It's a Reo , complete, nothing missing. Truck still see's duty in summer parades. Taken about 1980, Nikon Ftn with 85mm Micro Nikkor.
Tri-X shot at 800, and forced with Rodinal. Pretty sure the paper's Kodak Panalure.

I think these images would come up a lot cleaner off the inverter scanner, rather than photographing musty old prints. Man, there's a lot to wade through...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
