From the other weekend. My wife and I went on a good 10mile hike up and down the south Cumberland plateau. From the first roll, first half of the hike. Expired gold200 @100, Nikon fg-20, e-series 50/1.8, unicolor, pakon scan, lr5

Nice shot Kevin. Where does the sepia tone come from? That's not on the film is it?
Thanks for the likes and comments. I really appreciate it.
The tone seems to just happen when I scan black and white film as color. I think it is how the warm light in the Coolscan 5000 is read as it is shown through the purple/blue of the film. I have retained that creme colored look on many of my film shots.
Tried some of the lomography 100 daytime film in my 645. It's clearly not as quality controlled as the kodak and fuji films I have thus far used, as far as plastic bit tolerances and the film has a tendency to explode off of the reel. But hey, it was like $15 for 3 rolls on amazon with delivery, fine on a whim.
Kevin, processing c-41 at home is a cinch. I highly recommend it for anyone shooting a lot of negative color film. Space is no requirement. All you need is a changing bag, Paterson tank and reels, thermometer, bottles for developer, blix and stabilizer, kitchen or bathroom sink and a c-41 kit. I actually started developing color before I did black and white.
I kid you not, I don't have enough counter space in my bathrooms to do any developing. I won't do it in the kitchen. Lots of little fingers and I cook in there... My campus is supposedly going to be installing a sink that has proper temp controls, so I would be able to do it there. Just have to see if they actually install it this time.
Wanted to share something from last month that I have debated doing anything with. I finally wrote a blog entry about my experience if anyone cares to read it. BLOG ENTRY
I am sure everyone here knows about the lone gunman/terrorist attack in Chattanooga last month killing our servicemen. I work downtown and was not too far away when it happened. However, I live quite a bit out of town (70 miles) in rural TN and spur of the moment, became a part of a make shift vigil at an interstate overpass that our community was a part of while awaiting one of the last servicemen to pass by in a motorcade on the way to the funeral. Very emotional and powerful experience, you can read some of my thoughts on my blog (if you choose to). I did want to post a few images though. Not much of a street photo shooter and was wishing for a 35mm instead of the 50 I had mounted on my OM10 once I got there. I grabbed that camera just because I had a roll of HP5+ loaded and it was ready to go. Developer was hc110 1:49 for 7:45m, pakon scanned.
Great set Jon, thank you for sharing them with us. Being a military brat, I have a huge connection with all things military, good and bad. Made me get a little emotional seeing these photos.
