Camera Talk

I guess I forgot to post a heads up for this years Red Oktober submissions. Almost forgot to take some myself. This year I used the Zorki-1e with a Jupiter-8 50/2 on Ilford FP4+. I think that lens will now permanently live on the Z-1e. Here is the best shot from the roll composition wise, as I lucked out and got some people action at just the right moment (well, actually I had to wait for them to get in position). Half a second later and it wouldn't be the same.

There are more at https://flic.kr/s/aHsmJnPwYR and later on I'll post some random photos from the excursion.

Great shot, superb tonality. I'll take a Jupiter 8 anyday.

Really nice work, PF.

Waiting for the photo was worthy.
Nice series, PF.

Thanks, all. It's a nice lens to use.

Here are the second set of photos from Red Oktober. They are more random in nature. Still Zorki-1e, Jupiter-8 50/2, on Ilford FP4+.

Yes, you can get an image of the rear of your lens cap, but only if you are using a vented hood

Not quite part of the Rails-To-Trails movement, as this bridge is short of where the James River Heritage Trail in Lynchburg, VA starts.

Like the previous photo, I had to post process this for the shadows and highlights.

When the dairy farm goes bust, you've got to generate revenue somehow.

That's all for this year. (Where's that Porky Pig emoji?)
