These are awesome Dan! Keep them coming. I don't care if you repeat any. You should make a blog about your experience and show the pics.
One of my favorite lenses saw duty during Vietnam. Got it for free in non-working condition. Got it going again and use it often. Nikkor HC 28/3.5.
I guess I could do a blog, but then I would have to remember stuff .
Seriously though, I've gotten some insight into how I shot back then vs now. I don't even know if I gave DOF a 2nd thought. I think I picked a S/S maybe 1/60 or 1/125, & used the f-stop to center the needle, then bang.

I'm amazed at the sheer amount of people visible in that shot. From the foreground all the way to...well, as far back as I could see. Was this during a new year celebration or another festival of sorts?

thank you kwoodard and alpha geist. Alpha, that last image has an interesting piece of art in it.
I pass that art piece every time I go to my photo class. Whenever I see it, I imagine it's in middle stride of kicking a football (soccer ball, for us American blokes).
Tom, I agree with alpha on that triX shot. That is some severe human congestion. I thought Time Square was crowded when I was in New York but that takes the cake.
Some from last summer on an afternoon excursion with my wife. I believe this was xtra400 for film, canon 7ne and tamron 24-135. Souped at home, pakon scan, lr5

That was shot in some no name street in Xi'an China. It was so crowded that I almost became alarmed for my safety as I could feel a stampede possible.

A lot of ham involved in that menu. Do you know what year the menu was painted?
I don't. Phone numbers went from 5 to 7 digits in the 60's so this was somewhere between 1920-1960 but based on the pricing, I would guess rather early on. Interestingly enough, the sign co that painted this (see lower part of the building, Faulkner sign Co) is still in business. This is on the north shore in Chattanooga off Cherokee Blvd.
