Nikon F100, 28 f2 N, Tri-X developed in HC-110. Left the film guide out of the lab box and realized too late. This is one of the better frames that turned out.

I love the Nighthawk S (CB700SC). I used to have a red '84. Probably the best motorcycle I ever had. I kick myself all the time for selling it.
It didn't run when I got it in 2004, but I got it back into good running condition. Man, that thing was fast! It was a lot of fun to work on. The original fairing was busted beyond fixing, so I put an aftermarket one on it. A used, original fairing was selling for almost as much as the entire motorcycle.
I can't post a photo to this thread, because I don't have one made with a Nikon MF lens, but here's a link to a photo of it: https://flic.kr/p/2kBsd8S
Samy, lovely colors on the indoor-flowers. Are you developing some of your films by yourself?
I did E6 only three or four times at home, most of the time C41 and all kinds of B&W. Never tried B&W-chromes except for the Polapan-variety.
The weather here has been terrible the last month and nothing but rain forecasted for the next 5 - 6 days.
Have been spending "photography time" cleaning some lenses and trying out some new apps/programs. I think I am almost ready to move over to Capture One. Have been on the fence and still have about 10 days on the trial, but I think I am going to go with it. The Luma range function and LCC (Lens Cast Calibration) feature is what is pushing me over the top. LCC in Capture One works so much better than Flat Field Correction in Lightroom. At least for me it does.
Question for you folks. What tools are you using other than Photoshop for stitching and stacking? I have read good things about PTGUI but has been years since I have tried that. Is Helicon still the go to software for stacking?
I am also using an iPhone/iPad app called Cadrage Director's Viewfinder (I think it is only for iOS but not 100% sure). It is just what it says, a virtual viewfinder for just about any camera/lens combination you can think of and you can add custom cameras and custom lenses for anything that is not already listed.
Great for scouting out a location for coming back later to shoot. Not a big deal if you are carrying a SLR/DSLR but if you are planning on lugging a large format rig or technical camera set up, you can take your iPhone/iPad in advance and see what gear you really need. I think it is pretty cool. I went out on a short hike on a new trail the other day and used the app to plan a few shots with the 4x5 and Cambo rig. Was able to simulate the view for each camera/lens combo and know what will work best.
I have configurations set in the app for 35mm, digital medium format, film medium format and 4x5 film. Able to see what the actual field of view would be for each. Can take simulated shots and export a shot list complete with FOV information, location information, etc.
If you are shooting multiple formats and especially the big stuff (looking at you Samy), you may want to check it out. (I am not affiliated with them)
I’m in the opposite of a funk for the last year or so now, but I’ve been there before ... as we all have.
I’ve found the best way out of a funk is to buy stuff
Maybe at first it doesn’t cure the funk, but you need to persevere and fight harder by buying even more stuff. Eventually you’ll break through. The trick is to spend more and more money each time

Hi Georg thanks! For E6 I use the Arista Rapid kit. I did some C-41 last year when I started home development but recently have stuck to slides, particularly Provia 100. Mostly I use the lab-box for 35mm/120 development, and SP-810 tray for 4X5 or 8X10 sheets. So no need for a dark room.

Buying stuff to counter a funk works unfortunately only for a certain time. At least that's my experience.
But maybe I didn't try it hard enough.

I just got a Cambo Actus GFX view camera body for my Fuji, does that count?
Guess I really shouldn't say it is a funk, because I am itching to go, but weather and work have other plans for me at the moment. Especially the weather. Maybe I need some modern weather sealed lenses?? Nah...

Hi James,
yes, there's a nice small wet darkroom next to my study (home office). Due to problems with my skin and a lack of energy I shot more with digital cameras lately.
Today I headed out with the old Fuji X-Pro 1 and a couple of Nikkor-lenses after using more recent Nikon and Fuji cameras the last 2 years.
We had really good amounts of snow the last days. And snow ist very merciful to cities - most ugly stuff is hidden.

The thread moved fast over the past two days. The weather is in a big "funk" today and being the only day I actually felt like hunting for a photo, it kind of sucked. However, someone in the past few pages said when light's not good go B&W but I'd already missed the B&W page. What's a man to do? More black and white.
