Elicar 55mm f2.8 Macro – Ink, Yarn & Beer

G & T

Leaves or Petals?

I’ve been a bit off the grid for the last few weeks, focusing a bit on some other things rather than photography. I actually never thought I would miss out on looking at my photos and taking them – but I do! I guess I do like photography more than I thought!

These are – I think – bougainvillea flowers, but as they were shot on Kentmere 100 awhile ago, I don’t remember. Taken with a Nikon FM2n, an Elicar 55mm f2.8 manual-focus macro lens, and, obviously, B&W film. Another surprise is that I really like the quality of image with the Kentmere. Ya learn something new every day.

Reflections on Thanksgiving Day

So, so many things to be grateful for . . . family, friends, health, happiness, love, hope, and too many other things to be named.

No idea where this was when I took it!

Another image from the roaming of a year ago. I put off developing the images because I thought I would do it – that is, developing my own black and white. I found I like the sense of accomplishment – but I don’t like the stress – of home developing. So, I had them done in a lab which accommodates each type of film.

Kentmere seems to be a pretty nice film, and it is reasonably priced. I have more true b&w I want to use and process, such as Ilford Delta 100 and Fuji Acros 100.
