The newest bronze memorial at Brazos Veteran's Park, dedicated to the Indian Wars 1790-1891. Depicted are a native of the Tonkawa tribe and a buffalo solder of the US cavalry.
Chamonix field camera, Nikkor 300mm f9 and long expired Vericolor III, a forerunner of Portra.
My wife and I bought some kayaks, our first adventure out over the weekend. Olympus stylus (original with 35/3.5 lens), Fuji c200, unicolor c41 (accidentally pushed it a stop, long on development), pakon f135+, lr5
Yes you may I have a canon wp-1 waterproof film camera. Loaded a roll of gold200 in it and the shutter is dead. Film advances but no shutter snap/release. So, looks like I need to find something else. I could use my gopro hero 3 but, well, it is digital
Toomanyshots, nice work with the developing. I have an n90 as well (and n80 and n65) but haven't used them yet. I acquired them as gifts and only have a cheap 28-80 sigma zoom and a cheap quantaray 100-300. I guess I need to use them and see if the sigma is any good. Or, maybe start acquiring some AF Nikon glass. That scares me though I already have a slew of L glass and don't need to go down another path. How do you like the handling of the n90?
Nice find and capture, Adam.
Dan, I new the cheap point and shoot collection I have would come in good use Now to break out the super zoom P&S and capture some wildlife while on the river.
Really expired and completely toasted chems left a really weird color shift with some Kodak pro image 100 I have. Things came out almost electric blue, pink and green pastel. Some little ability to salvage the image in LR but you can still see the effects. My wife actually liked it. Nikon FM, 50/1.4
At the construction site behind the house with the grandson. He had to bring his own construction trucks along.

Thanks... Well, if I have the budget, I would get the F100 instead but the average used price is now $150. I only paid $40 shipped for my n90s. The N80 is newer but it can not meter with manual focus lenses. You can do both with the n90 or n90s. The n90s has a faster AF focus and can shoot 4fps instead of 3. The body is hefty and does not feel like a toy. Metering is accurate. And it has spot metering. Some lower end models don't. You can not change the roll in the mid end. By default, during film rewind, it rewinds the film all the way in..unless you can reprogram it using some antiquate interface cards.
Like Ken Rockwell said, the n90s is like a VCR. No dials but just buttons. The options are just sufficient for taking photos. The motor is a bit weak or slow if you try to use a heavier f2.8 AF D lens on it. I tried to put my Nikon AF 80-200 f2.8d ed 2 ring version on it and it took the camera 2 seconds to move from MFD to infinity and back. On my D7000, it takes about 1 second.
Also, many of the pre-n80 bodies only have one commander dial. So, with non-AF D lenses, you have to shoot in some auto modes in order to control the aperture.
For the lens, you can pick up the Nikon 50 f1.8D for around $70.
Shot 5 rolls of B&W on Saturday in historic Lawrenceburg, TN. The photo club there had a Scott Kelby photo walk which allowed us private access into a few area museums and private mansions. Up first is from the old jail which shut down in 1974 and is now a museum. Apparently it is haunted and a former sheriff was murdered in one of the cells by an inmate in the early to mid 1900's. This is from a roll of delta 400 with 35 color skopar on a leica M5, developed in id-11 1:1, pakon scanned.
