Well, here are some weird photos. A few nights ago I was taking photos at a concert and on the way home I took out my Holga and shot some multiple exposures of street lights using Delta 3200. I used a meter to see how far underexposed I'd be at f8 and 1/100 (the Holga speed) and snapped enough exposures to make up for it, plus a few extra for good measure. My scanner couldn't distinguish between the frames, but that ended up being cool: I got 6x12 photos!
A few images from a test roll with the 24 Summilux. I wanted to see if I could replace my 28 lux with the 24 lux since it pairs better with my favorite lens, the 35 lux pre asph. Quite happy with it. And stopping down to f/5.6 or so, MFD is about .4M.

This is from 2023 when I was trying the then new Voigtlander 28 2.8 Color Skopar. I was using Tri-X but lost a stop because it was going to be developed in Rodinal, It was a fun experiment.

When my wife's cousin still lived in Bellingham, we would catch the ferry in Kingston and disembark in Edmonds just so we didn't have to drive through Seattle.
It's probably already been done, but I'd love to see a photo book called "Ferry Life" that features scenes from ferry crossings; yours would be perfect to include, Jim. There are the Seattle and San Juan Island ferries; the water taxis in Victoria (BC), Boston, and elsewhere; the big overnight ferries to the maritime provinces in Atlantic Canada; and here in Québec we still have a few ferries that take short runs using boats attached to cables that traverse fast-moving rivers. We also used to have an engineless ferry that was pulled and steered by a motorboat; it ran between Hudson and Oka, Québec. It has since been replaced by a more conventional ferry boat. In winter that same passage becomes an ice bridge, and when the ice is thick enough big semi trucks use it as a shortcut.

My little human is having her first surgery tomorrow to remove adenoids and tubes in her ears. This was last week at her hearing test. I preferred converting to B&W here again. Maybe I'm getting older, or more hip? haha

Thanks! I'd like to get better, so am going to practice more.
Running kids are hard to get a sharp panning shot (if that is what you are aiming for), they move up and down a lot so nothing ends up sharp. Bikes, scooters and swingsets are the easiest for me to get a sharp(ish) subject when panning since it's mostly just that side to side motion. Jumping is harder but very satisfying if you can get it right.
