Art shanties in Hyannis. Artists work in there and you can go up and admire their work and buy any art work they are exhibiting. I took a portrait of a couple of them and will post at some point this week.
Seems like the variety and locations of posts have picked up of late, keep up the great work. A few shoutouts:
Ani, the pups are great, and I agree with Colin on that one shot looking almost menacing.
Colin, the coastal path looks like a great hike, even with the fog. As long as the fog comes and goes and is not like San Francisco pea soup, I think it adds to the atmosphere.
The cruisemaster Rafael is back, always enjoy those. And I agree, you make the cars sing with the thorium 35.
James, the 85 1.4 focusing challenge passed with flying colors!

Your new deck is looking great, the roof will too once it is finished.
We had our clay tiled roof cleaned last year to get rid of moss, lichen, soot and general grime.
It made a huge difference.

The real deal is that my workers do not plan, they work and ask for materials on a real time basis, as in please go get me this and that, so I do. Saves me a lot of money on the end, over hiring a contractor.

Deck is going to be a great place, rafael. The roof slope is so dramatic on the last picture. I had to do a double-take. The first picture soon sorted me out. Wide angle perspectives.
So, not only do you require rafael-condition lenses, you also require rafael-condition highlights too . I think you did well here, from a documentary perspective, the story's been told. Very much looking forward to future ones.
Thanks Siphiwe, more to come I guess, the repairs were really needed. Deck was a great place many years ago and will come back to its former beauty.

That makes a lot of sense - saves money for more lenses.
I have an internal partition wall to put back into its original position. I will order all of the bulky materials and effect the alterations myself. Basically two adjacent rectangular rooms, one bigger than the other, got turned into two 'L' shaped rooms of more equal size. One of the rooms is an en-suite bathroom. It is way overdue a refurb so the room will be reinstated to its former size before the re-fit.
Some slide copies with the 55 F3.5 macro lens on the PB-5 bellows and PS-5 slide copier. Flash used as light/exposure source. Neutral program with saturation and Contrast set at -3 in the Z711.

Jay, the timber-framed building on your first Salem-shot could be over here in germany as well.
A really nice series with lovely looking houses.
Thanks very much, this is a contiguous area of very interesting historical structures the likes of which I've not see before.
This well preserved site was populated by German Moravians and here is a site with some details.
Some more military hardware from the Carrier Hall.
This building emulates an aircraft carrier deck.
It was very dark due to the projection screens at either end but the Z6ii allowed for useable hand held shots of a second using a wide angle lens. Quite impressive.
You can get very close to the aircraft. Very little restrictions and only a few people to get in the way.

Beautiful scenes Dean! And extra exercise bonus points for carrying the Bronica kit on a hike

Thanks George. Yeah, she's a bit heavy but not too bad without the prism and just the 75/2.8. This place is really more of a walk than a hike anyway ... very little steep stuff.
My wife suggested getting one of those Babybjörn baby carriers for it
Did you take any pictures of the power plant?
I recall it being a bit of an eyesore but interesting enough to photograph from the footpath.
Colin
I did, but it was underexposed. I tried to make something of it but didn't really get very far. Once the shadows are gone there's not a lot you can do ... at least with my editing skills anyway
But still, that's why I really love film. It's a challenge and you're always learning and trying to do better. It's also exciting having to wait until you've processed them to see what actually happened. Like Xmas morning as a kid
Thought it might be interesting to show the stages you go through with a neg. like I said, someone with more skills could probably get the final image looking better.

We are having a steady drizzle today. It's very tempting to venture out and shoot some wet things but I fear for my MFNG. So, I went out with an umbrella briefly during a work break .
Siphiwe, enjoyed the rainy shot. I don't let the lenses get too drenched but in my experience misting / light drizzle seems to be fine on all gear I've used, including MF Nikkors.
Colin, enjoyed the aircraft shots, some different planes than what I recall seeing in museums over here in the lower 48, which is to be expected. Did you do any defishing? I noticed the horizontal cropping, but you seem to have the fisheye effect well minimized in the shots.
Dean, enjoyed seeing the process from negative to final result. What is that second picture that looks like a negative, but is different from the first picture? I have to say that I don't miss the days of mailing exposed rolls from national parks and then waiting for it to show up on my doorstep 10 days later. It was between anticipation and dread, to see if would actually arrive. Really glad I'm not mailing rolls of film with the state of package transit these days.
Thanks Ray. That is good to know. I went out again because the mail man delivered my "new" FT-1. I expected it tomorrow. Now this is all Laura's fault for encouraging me to find one. I had no choice but to mount some MFNG and go out. It feels just like a smaller version of the FT-Z.
