Very interesting read, thanks for sharing.

She had me believing she was a pro until she said smug mug. I am a working pro. I have been for 12 years full time. I don’t know a single peer who uses smug mug.

That said, I ‘ve dragged my cameras to many National parks. Many of the good ones are so damned crowded and fenced off, the average person is never, ever gonna get that PRO shot. It’s too bad too....the average cameras these days are simply magnificent.

Nice.....where is that?

[MeshugeMikey]

It’s a few short miles from the pacific coast...near Nicasio California...In Marin County just north of San Francisco.

I shot this one morning on my way to church! Stopped for maybe two minutes.

Nikon F3HP, Nikkor 55mm micro, Velvia, tripod.

I got a Deardorff 8x10 this summer. I gotta dust that off and get working. Film is the best. For so many reasons beyond, it’s the old way.

I shoot film!

Ditto. Pentax K-100, 20-80mm lens. Shooting Kodak High Speed Infrared B&W film with #25 Red filter.

Sure, the Best By Date is 2009, but I’ve kept 12 rolls “fridged” and it still works GREAT.

Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 Scanner. Darkroom is now the bathroom, for film developing.

If someone could tell me how to post a photo...

[Uncle Miltie]

1938 Rolleiflex and Velvia 50.

That's a 100 Megapixel capture system right there. Pre-war German. :-)

[Uncle Miltie]

To post a photo, you have to have it hosted somewhere first. Then, within FR, you have to use html like this:

< img src = (file location with the http:\\stufflikethis.jpg)>

Just don’t put that space in front of the “img” like I had to to make it appear. Then it shows up like magic!

I wish I had the same equipment he has but just can’t afford it.

I have to get by with a Sony Alpha 200 and an Alpha 230. Fortunately they both work with my old Minolta Maxxum lenses. I normally could not even afford those bodies but a local Wal-Mart cleared out the kits for $200 and $230 each. I came back a week or so later and noticed they had reduced the 230 to $170 but they were all gone by then.

I gave my Sister and B.I.L. an older 5mp Canon P&S. They have been in Europe for nearly a year and have sent me some pretty darn good photos taken with that old P&S.

Er ... I’m just happy to see you ...

[Uncle Miltie]

MMMMMmmmmm Mamiya 7ii with the 43MM wide angle, Velvia 50. Depth of Field to burn!

Click, snap, ping....

[Uncle Miltie]

1952 Agfa Billy Record 6x9. My ex wife left it in the boat and it rusted.

I prefer film to, but I do use digital for somethings.

I have:
2Crown Graphics
Hasselblad ELM and 500c/m
Leica IIIf
Nikon F Apollo
Nikon FA

I have a Bolex H16 for moving pictures, but I haven't used it yet.

[Uncle Miltie]

For your review and critiques. See above. Just an amateur with old gear I love....
