I finally got my roll of print film back. This was taken with my Meyer Optik Orestor 135mm F/2.8 lens, with its stellar 15 blade aperture. This was shot at a fairly wide F/5.6 and 1/750th. A pity about that nasty crack Iris left on the frame. Curiously, it's not on the print.

Not mine, belongs to my best friend.

Bonus JKF lulz:

In the summer of 2003, I babysat the 4-year-old daughter of a friend of mine. He left out a couple Veggie Tales DVDs for her to watch, and I must admit I sat through both of them, voluntarily.

"Rustic" outdoor lantern. Only one, the other is backordered. "blade tool" for my shop-vac. 6 packages of outlet covers. 2x outlet faceplates 8x switch faceplats 2x "coach style" lanterns. 1 "bubble fogger" bubble machine that uses a fogger to produce the bubbles. Stupid toy, but it was half price after halloween.

It doesn't look like the driver of that car would have much rearward visibility. Take two, they're small:

Sauce.

Get home in one piece, man.

You look familiar, do I know you?

I got back 3 rolls of Velvia 50 from Iris Photo today. The only problem is that I gave then four rolls of film yesterday. The missing one is a 12-exp roll of ISO 800 print film, but it contains shots taken with my massive manual focus East German 300mm, and I'd uh like to see them. I addition to that, I'm really not happy with this round of scans. The actual slides look quite good, but the scans have serious dynamic range issues, particularly in the highlights. I need to buy a scanner STAT. Either a good flatbed that can do slides, or a dedicated slide/film scanner. I don't need to pay these idiots for crappy scans. The shot at the top of the post was made with Velvia 50 and my 17-40L @ 17mm F/8, 1/45th + a circular polarizer. It's become clear to me that using the CP with Velvia 50 produces gorgeous colors, but the polarizing effect comes out much stronger on film that it does in the viewfinder. I've got quite a few shots where the great polarized band in the sky is quite visible. It's an amusing effect, but I don't always want it in my photos.

I don't so much have a beard, as I have a wire brush that grows out of my face. To go from 2-3 day's stubble to clean shaven, I have to use two electrics and a razor. I loathe shaving. I used to grow a beard during the winter months. In the last few years my beard has gone very white, and I really don't like the look of it. I've been going gray since my mid-20s (quite common among dyslexics) and that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my beard.
