Excellent photographs of the Ghia, a stunning automobile. They must be rare, I have never seen one in the wild.
I did not know the Spider came in a color besides red which is a stunner on the car.

Thanks Serge, the car is mechanically common, nothing remarkable - which makes for easy maintenance. but it is very beautiful and extremely rare. I had never seen one before,have not seen a red one in real life.

Hope you and everyone here are happy, healthy & doing well.
I'm still alive and doing pretty well. No complaints
I've still been shooting a bit but for some reason I shoot and scan my negs but haven't been processing them ... let alone posting anywhere. Just got a new monitor so I'm enthused again. Better post some pics now!
Been doing a bit of back and forth between Adelaide and HK over the last couple of years. Really enjoying shooting these car meetups back home every Sunday morning. They're super popular and there's at least 2-3 meets to choose from.
These are from one meet. All Aussie "muscle" cars from the 70's. Around 10-15 years ago these were still seen as "bogan" (google it ) and now some are worth a fortune. For instance, the first one, a GT 351 Shaker is worth around 500K. Amazing.
Anyway, all taken with my Nikon F3HP and the 35/2 OC. Kodak Ektar 100. Scanned and processed myself.

Did you lend her your Noct for the trip?
I am back home in Hampshire now so make that 8 hours (on a good day). Maybe quicker if I borrowed my son's new car.
Same engine, gearbox and chassis as mine but in a smaller 2-door coupe package.
Travel on the UK roads is dictated by 'smart' motorways/highways that monitor your average speed and dictate the max speed due to traffic load and weather conditions. Much of it is limited to 50mph where they have roadworks or are building the 'smart' infrastructure.

not bad, considering the traffic flow down there. I hate that one section of highway where there's nowhere to pull off, no facilities, and then in the next town you hit, there are no public facilities... I wound up buying food at a Chinese restaurant just so I could take care of pressing personal business... The food was good thankfully. I need to go back someday with more time.

It took 4 1/2 hours to arrive but only 2 hours to return. My brother is visiting, and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. It paid the price because since yesterday it has been raining a lot.
Happy Fourth to all who are celebrating today. A white and blue shot (sorry, searched thru the MF lens shots, did not find anything recent with red, white, and blue). 200mm f4.0 AI Micro.

This camera is the wide angle version of the Makina 67. It has the Wide-Nikkor 55mm f/4.5 lens, which is roughly comparable to 29mm of full frame size we are used to. The Nikkor 80mm f/2.8 on the Makina 67 is equivalent to a 40mm full frame.
Posting a photo of a tree that I have wanted to shoot for about a year. It is a South Carolina "Champion Tree" meaning it is the largest known in the state for a particular species. This is a Bur Oak and is located on Clemson University campus. I have tried several times but never could get a clean shot without people or cars and getting a good angle on the tree. I wasn't planning on going by there today and only had one camera and one lens and definitely not the combo I ever thought about using
Below is a 6 shot stitched pano using the minuscule Nikkor 2.5cm f/4 M39 (Leica) mount adapted to the Z8. This lens is from the 1950's and according to the Photosynthesis serial number database only about 500 were made in M39 mount.
Since everything was closed on campus today, the parking lot was empty and nobody wandering around in the afternoon heat and humidity. Except a crazy guy with a camera
This shot still does not capture the size of the tree, but it is quite a site to see.

Samy - that Makina 67 looks like a good performer and of course your monobath developing looks good too! Good to see the camera works well and no light leaks I guess
