When I had to move a year and half ago I simply didn't have room for all my photo gear and got rid of some, and vowed not to buy anything unless it was something I really wanted. As a result, I've been gifted a Kodak Hawkeye Brownie, a Polaroid Model 95 Land camera, an MX with a third party zoom on it and a K1000 with an M50/2. Add to that my K500/4.5 that I bought pre-pandemic that was languishing in Ohio for almost four years until I was able to collect it in May and the Auto-Tak I'm about to buy from John...

Photo gear appears to breed like rabbits.

Ansel Adam's biography is well worth a read and very enjoyable.

Some fine images and I really like the "next" one.

Thanks Lenny. I'd never used Washi-S before and it is extremely high contrast. Very "black and white" and not a lot in between. I was pleased this one came out so well. Most of the rest of the film is a bit of a write-off.

Pentax Super A, Washi S film. I think this was shot using my K30/2.8 but I cannot be sure.

Big congratulations. And I like no 1 too. It's subtle and soothing and I love the pastel shades.

Hi Steve,

As regards the purple, I'm not sure if it is "part of the art" of just the glow of the globe. I could try and edit it out.

I have no idea if the sensor shift would work that much. I've never tried it, just stuck to using my shift lens.

Best wishes, Kris.

Nope, CofE but, of course, there was no such thing when that was carved.
