‘Monthly Subject’ is an interesting idea for the NMFG thread…
Matt, a good idea - at some stage I remember we tried a "nifty 50" idea and also Curtis at one time made "bokeh" the theme for a while. Basically anything to keep us all using our MF gear and keeping up the interest.
Such a classic film camera combo.
Back in the day when I was shooting film with my Pentax Spotmatic I shot Panatomic X, and Plus X but my go to film was always Tri X
I'm guessing the dog is a Golden Retriever?
Thanks! Tri-X is a classic indeed. I lean more towards TMAX/Delta 400 lately, but it's tough to beat Tri-X for just going out and seeing what you see.
And the dog paws actually belong to two Border Collies. Both F6 and 75-150 with TMAX 400
My neighbor had one and it would wait out in my front yard for me to go to the mailbox to check the mail. Always had a Frisbee or ball and would not let me back in until we played. Some days it would just stand there for an hour waiting. Made me feel bad and I had to try to get off my calls so I could go out

Goodness, if that's not a perfect description of living with (or just near) Borders, I don't know what is . It's a full-time job. Pointy ears treats stalking a toy like work, down ears is all about the frisbees. It's easy to shed some energy with the frisbees, but I can never get ahead of it with the other one. He'll stalk, lay down, wait for a command, stalk some more, lay down, wait... He'll finally pounce and then we do it again... and again and again and again.

Back when I was younger with no money, but lots of time (45 years ago) - I built a pair of matching entertainment centers. Of course, they are huge and house a pair of speakers I built, all the LP Records, CDs, Cassette's, and Videos I own. They are about 7' tall, 42" wide, and 2' deep. Two of the predominate woods (Cherry & Black Walnut) are from trees I cut, stick stacked to dry, and the rest are purchased lumber. Padauk, Zebra wood, Rosewood, Birdseye Maple, Lace wood, and White Oak + red oak, & black walnut veneers. The whole shebang rests on 8 itty-bitty cabriole-like legs I carved out of cherry crotch and flame parts of a huge Cherry tree I cut down. They are re-enforced with a 3/8th of an inch, cold-rolled steel rods, epoxied through their 4-5 inch visible height (actually about 8"), but half the height is hidden by a wood skirt. Finish was all oil and various polyurethane, because I just love the natural color of wood. This morning the sun reach that part of the sky where it kisses the wood directly through the blinds, and fills the room with the warm hues of wood. It was lovely. Nikkor 85m f1.4 ais

It still is, James.
As an unqualified wood butcher I'm in awe of those who are craftsmen - it is also true of your photography , James.

Our camera club has a bi-monthly set subject - this month it is "Shades of White" !!!
I'm not a great fan of contrived images but decided to try a capture using the 80-200 f4 and some flash.
This is more of a "have to do" image than an inspired choice but I'm sharing FWIW

I'm with Matt, love to see the whole kit. If I could have back all the money I spent on stereo equipment ...

My vote to see the whole thing as well, Jim, along with some other close up details. The wood looks incredible!
Another installment from the restored estate and 28mm f2.0 AIS. B&W this time, I could not get the color quite the way I like with the lighting at the lower level art deco inspired bar area.

My problem is that I'm still spending on stereo equipment and vinyl. I have a stereo in just about every room and two more receivers sitting in the closet.

Sounds familiar. Many times I have to make a choice between stereo equipment or camera equipment. I'm on a vinyl buying phase right now.
