have to say it was a good day ( in b/w)

like i said about the coppers.....good to have friends in low places.

 

"Officer look !! I just want my springs back put down your pin and get after those thieves"

 

cool pics. the last time I used black and white film, it took an act of Congress and a loan to get the film developed. Glad to know you can still get it developed cheap and easy.

 

when ever i had a pic taken with law enforcement..it was my mugshot..so come clean ....the cop is your friend and it was staged...on a positive note at least you are trying to do something...

 

If you take a roll of Tri-X or some other kind of real B&W film in for processing it's still going to cost a bundle because it's considered to be "custom" processing. The mini-labs shouldn't even accept it if it's true B&W film.

What you're looking for if you're film shopping is B&W with C41 processing. Kodak at one time made both professional and "street" grades of this film, but I don't know if that's still the case.If you don't find it at the big retailers you may have to look for it at a real camera store.

C41 is the chemistry and processing used for developing color negative film. But C41 B&W is specially formulated to produce a B&W print using color processing and printing equipment. So now any mini-lab can produce reasonable B&W prints at a reasonable price and probably in one hour.

 

Wow old bone you really know how to put two and two together!

 

You might want to try experimenting with that cam a little. Try bracketing your pic's an f stop either way and see how is comes out. I always liked Ilsford B&W film. It has great saturation.

 

"" a digital camera is a tool, like a hammer.

a film camera is a tool, like a paint brush. ""

that makes no sense whatsoever.

cool pics.. looks like a fun time

 

If you'd spent a lot of years shooting film, and then essentially had a gun held to your head while being forced to convert to digital, it might make a bit more sense to you.

Now see if you can make any sense of this:

"Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana."

 

I understood what you were getting at. Anyone can pick up a digital camera and "point and shoot" or hammer out some pictures. On the other hand shooting on film requires a little more finess and thought.

Everyone can take a deep breath, noone is holding guns to anyones head,....old Barneys got his round in his pocket anyway.



Benny sez, " Deputy Fife,....I think yer bullet rolled under my car."

 

So when is that camera making its way to my garage? Gasm.....!!

 

W C CT --- when you gonna do something in that garage thats worth taking a picture of? ahhhh just kidding man.

dont worry we will get you on the road for some pics sooner or later. whats it still need? driveshaft, battery, and wiring?

 

Aw Modesto hot rod capital of California...liked the pictures..good job
