Photo a Day 365 X 12/2022….

[Spin_Drift]

Another year, another photo thread. Let’s have fun with pictures.

This was taken a couple of hours before sunrise. Anchorage city lights in the background. It will only show a thumbnail as I don’t want to further reduce the pixels.

I found these clouds interesting as some were hanging low in front of the mountain.

Are you shooting film?

[Yeadon]

Are you shooting film? If so, how do you shoot film, process it, digitize it, and post it so fast?

Yes, this last year I started shooting rolls of 35mm Fomapan 400 with my Pentax MX, mostly using a SMC Pentax 35mm/F3.5 but sometimes with an SMC Pentax-M 50/1.7. I buy bricks of 10 rolls from Glazers here in Seattle. It's only ~$4.50 per roll, and the price is commensurate with my skill level.

I'm using a blackout film changing bag and a Patterson tank. Processing with Rodinal 1+50. Digitizing with a "Kodak Digital Mini Film Scanner" bought cheap off Craigslist, which is okay at best but it's super easy to transfer the scans via USB over to my MacBook. Sometime this year I'd love to buy a better scanner.

I've also shot a handful of rolls of color film but the lab processing costs ($$$) are just too expensive to be truly obsessive enough to improve. Turnaround is too slow for me too.

Looking forward to spring when sail & oar season gets back up and going. I have a Pelican case ready to go.

Even our little town has fireworks welcoming new year.

No, that was shot on a digital camera. Here is the original just resized.

Trump said, "This is our new statement: The system is full. We can't take you any more. Whether it's asylum, whether it's anything you want, it's illegal immigration. We can't take you any more....Our country is full, our area is full, the sector is full. We can't take any more. Sorry. Can't have it....So turn around. That's the way it is."

[Spin_Drift]

I really look forward to seeing it and the progress as you are building it.

Well, that is looking towards the Sawtooth range in Idaho. They'd be about 150 miles yonder.

That old cabin has been used as a set in the Jellowstone TV series. Which I haven't watched but a few trailers.

We've got 3 or 4 pairs - so he could've made an appearance last year.
