Jon, a very nice set. Still have to try Kentmere 400. My personal favs from your set are the first and the last shot.
Tom, the last image on Acros looks almost like an IR-image with the very bright foliage. Did you use a filter?
Moving from one of the largest cities of the world to rural Michigan must be a cultural shock indeed. But I'm sure you'll find plenty of photo-opportunities.
No filter, that's just how Acros captured the light in that situation.
I agree, it has an IR look to it. Not planned that way by me but I'll take it.
San Francisco de Asis, Taos NM. This is one of a few shots I will be posting as I get them developed and scanned. Early morning light shot with a Chamonix 45F1 view camera on Kodak Tmax 100 souped in Tmax developer.
Thanks, Tom. I print with a Canon inkjet just for 'personal consumption'. Unless, of course, someone asks for one. I've not wanted to go the wet printing route thus far, as I think it's more expensive than I think I can stand.
A closer look at the San Francisco de Asis church in Taos. Trying to get a little 'artsy' here, I guess, as the strong morning sidelight made nice shadows.
This is from a 40+ year old roll of some "Panchromatic" film, 125 ISO. vendor not known yet.
I shot these 2 stops over & stand developed them today. The last two were hand held with "last" one at 1/15th.

That and yearn for it, visit it occasionally and most of all, reflect while checking your images from Shanghai. That's why we capture.
I am going there again in few months on a way to Yunnan.
I've brought my G1 and 21mm along to the last couple weddings to complement my digital work. Still working on my developing / scanning process to get cleaner negatives, but it has been a blast to shoot.
One of the things I had read about but hadn't experienced was "bromide drag".
Its more obvious on 35mm because of the sproket holes.
Well, this time it showed up pretty noticeable on a few frames.
The possible secondary effect was it drooling through to the 120 roll underneath.
This showed up as a very slight gradiant/banding in lighter areas on a few.
Yep, I had the 35mm on the top.
Next time I won't mix film sizes when doing stand dev.
