sblitz Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43101 Posted November 30, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) A blast from the past... This is Paul Newman and his wife at the 1968 Tony Awards at the Sam S. Shubert Theater in New York City http://www.playbill.com/production/the-22nd-annual-tony-awards-1968-shubert-theatre-vault-0000013903 Taken by my late Father with his (now my) Linhof Technika Press 23 and Zeiss Planar 100mm Some kind of Kodak "safety film" 6x7 scanned by me, with very light adjustments in Lightroom (mostly just white points and a little sharpening) A testament to a nearly 50-year old negative that spent most of its life in a wax paper envelop in an attic. 1968, by ADam Miller.jpg Hard to believe that's 50 years ago ..... he was one of my heroes at that time, along with Steve McQueen, if for no other reason than their racing cars (Newman at LeMans, after he made the movie)..... GREAT SHOT!!!!!! Never get tired of these. As for comment on my picture, thanks..... and yes, everyone hikes in LA, probably because ya can't walk to get a slice of pizza so you might as well take a hike and get in some views :-) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43102 Posted November 30, 2017 Adam that's such a precious connection to have. Your old man was oviously no slouch - what a fantastic shot - but I reckon you're doing him proud with his gear now. Looks like the Hustler might be lining up a few drinks there... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking beer, which was his favorite. He put Coors on the map, at least in NYC, when word got out he loved it. When word eventually got out that Coors himself supported the war in Vietnam, we faced our first moral problem (second, however, for those facing the draft -- I just missed it, and missed it further with a high draft number). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always leant towards Coors (as an imported beer here at least) because it was what the Doors were drinking in the gatefold of Morrison Hotel. Funny, isn't it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43108 Posted November 30, 2017 Hello Ian, That is interesting. Perhaps the material that was used for thatching was not the original material that had been used historically, Or: Perhaps the jackdaws were not the birds that had been there when the earlier thatching material was used years ago. Or perhaps both the jackdaws & the thatching material were not the historical birds & historical materials respectively. That had been used & were present back in the old days. It might be interesting if you could ask the people there, at the building, what the circumstances & situation were. Because it is unlikely, given the extensive cost in both time & in materials, that people as smart as anyone on this Forum today: Would spend all of that time & use all of those materials to build a roof that the local birds would simply carry away. My understanding is that all manner of experts in ornithology and thatching were consulted but no obvious reason could be determined. The jackdaws were not using the thatch for food or nesting but pulling it out and discarding it on the ground. One plausible theory is that the thatch contained a starch that was attracting or upsetting the birds. The work apparently cost £100,000 and was done by a local Wiltshire thatcher using combed wheat reed. I imagine that this is a material that is usual for thatching in this locality. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43109 Posted November 30, 2017 That must be large format film, no? Well the film canisters DO look big in the picture, but I AM going to try to shoehorn one of the enclosed cassettes into the camera (or something similar) behind those bad boys. Otherwise those rocks will come into play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43112 Posted November 30, 2017 Just as a side note - the next three days here near Melbourne we're expecting up to 60mm, 90mm then 50mm of rain (up to 200mm or 8 inches altogether) - I've never seen any predictions like that here, ever. Will be interesting... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43113 Posted November 30, 2017 Here's an example of Adox Color Implosion in New York CIty M3, 50mm DR cron Love the look and I want to sample this film. However, according to the World Wide Web, Adox released Color Implosion as 'experimental' and available only until mid 2017, or thereabouts.. If this is true, it's a real shame. I've been searching for a uk source without any luck. :-( 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearby old white cottage that I featured along with the NT barn clearly does not suffer the same problem, so one could speculate about the original and age of the thatch material (chemical content?).

I can give you his contact details if you'd like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioF Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43118 Posted November 30, 2017 Love the deep blacks, looks like the film has been developed in soot! It is my first and only roll of trix pushed to 3200. Honestly only a few of the pics are decent both because I had problems with the chemicals temperature and because the streets were really dark. I think I'll try again but maybe I'll use HP5. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted November 30, 2017 Share #43120 Posted November 30, 2017 The sun is shining brightly today but it is quite cold out and a world away from the kind of late summer sunshine in this scan from a few years back. In this those days (10-15 years ago) I only used slide film and this is probably Velvia. Quite likely the Noctilux F1 stopped down. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
