Are you referring to my train wheel pic? This is another pic showing the entire cabin

Looks real nice John.  I'm in the same boat, very happy with my B/W results...I'm thinking about taking a stab at C-41.

 

-Marc

Me too, many many years of DIY B&W, about to try the C-41 processing.

I have always shaken, but the suggestion of not taking the lid off has me thinking, hmmmmmm.

And the colours as Active suggested, lovely.

Got it. Obviously some kind of generator set up for lights on the caboose. It looks like there are tiny electric marker lights with metal reflectors behind them.

I'm guessing that's a generator to supply power for the brakeman.

I am wondering, why can't be the power generation be central (in the main engine) and distributed to other cars via electric cables? It should be less maintenance.

Do you have any link to your train photos. I like trains too and would love to view photos.

The main engine would have been steam and the cars all freight, the power would probably just for the brakeman to have light - while the train was moving.

I’m due back there soon with a ladder and my Linhof Will let you know

Nice capture....that was one of the locations I found

 

  

 

True, true, it was you. . Thanks again for the tip.

Hey Adam-

 

I think I was the one who told you about the FF No. 1 at the Empire Stores show! haha! Great stuff. I'm trying to catch up with this thread, so maybe there are some images coming up...

A few weeks ago I decided that I was sufficiently adept at home developing B/W (Famous Format "FF N0.1 Monobath") that I wanted to to try color, so I picked up an Arista Rapid E-6 Kit from the Film Photography Project store. I have to say, the whole process is WAY easier than I thought it would be. As long as you can get consistent 100ºF water, the rest is just a matter of timing and patience.

 

FWIW, I'm using a Paterson tank and agitating by spinning the film. It's too difficult to remove the rubber cap to pour the 3 different solutions in and out. I see NO issues with spin agitation. No streaks. No water marks. Perfect slides.

 

Here are a few home-developed Provia 100 shots from the last few weeks. All Hasselblad 500 C/M + 80/2.8 CF + 10mm extension (on the close ups).

 

Look at those colors!! This is exactly how the raw chromes look in real life. NO adjustments. A7ii + Tamron 90/2.5 macro + lightbox "scans" imported, cropped to 1:1 and output. That's it.

Lovely shot. Btw, it is in my backyard. Yosemite falls never disappoints.

I just exposed my last hand rolled Fomapan 400 Action. I misfocused a good number of photos (probably a good 60-70%). I misfocused the photos with the subjects at a certain distance shooting usually at F5.6-8 and, strangely, my wife did the same when shooting me.

I don't blame camera+lens, of course.

The close-ups, which I usually screw up, came out fine.

The positive thing is that taking photos is not my job and I can screw up as much as I want   

 

Here's one of those that look fine to me.
