I took my Mamiya C330 yesterday for a portrait shoot with Portra 400. I'm doing a series of portraits of musicians listening to music, hence the headphones.
First off, I love Huss' photos of the Southern California beaches. Clean, bike paths and plenty of wide open sand. A little farther up the coast, things are a bit rougher. Here is a photo of a tree on the Lincon City, Oregon beach taken last October. It was a mature tree and more than a hundred feet in length:
Here's the same tree this past weekend:
It was high enough on the rocks I could walk under it.

@madNbad@ that is the perfect use case scenario for B&W film. It would have been cool if someone stood close to under that tree for sense of scale.
I'm about 5' 10" . The trunk was another six feet over my head:
Also, I only saw one other person the whole time and they were a couple of hundred yards away.
A couple of other notes. These are straight conversions with NLP. Linear Gamma setting. I've been trying to get decent negatives through proper exposure and development. Eventually, I'll get the scanning camera set at the right height so there's not too much or not enough border.
Adjusted the distance between the lens and the negative a bit. Hopefully, it'll stay there.
