I went out around noonish when I decided to shoot the roll of Tri-X 400 and have it pushed in processing. Is this the result of pushing, or did hte lab fail to do it.? I have no idea! Nonetheless, I really enjoy the silhouette of the tree and branches against the midday sun.
Fresh from Sunday night’s purchase from Bob Wood (mercantile47 on eBay), this really clean Canonet QL17 GIII arrived in today’s post. His pictures are really beautiful – the camera looks just like its photos. In real life, the camera appears to have been well treated, seems to work perfectly, and is totally confusing! A manual camera? Setting up film, f stops, shutter speeds? Add to that getting to understand how a rangefinder lens works and actually having the visual acuity to see it? Yeah, it really is a mind tweaker. I get digital really well, but this is an altogether new kettle of fish. I am really eager to see my first roll of film, which I expect will be total crap because I am lost, there could be light leaks, there will definitely be user errors.
