nice photo, nice camera !

is 6x9 the same as 620 film ?
that camera looks like a kodak one i had.

i heard about respooling 120 onto 620spools (?).
help me out where i'm wrong with this..
you actually needed 2 sets of 620 spools : spool the
film once - and then onto a further set of spools, to
get it the right -way round. (?)
.. in absolute darkness hmmmm sounded tricky.

6x9 is the negative size.. 8 photos per roll of 120 film.
There are many ways to respool film onto 620 spools. You need 1 set of 620 spools. I usually spool the 120 film onto another 120 spool and then transfer that to the 620 spool. The last transfer is tricky as the film is not attached to the paper backing on this end. It is best to practice with an old roll of film in the light prior to using good film in the dark. That way you can see what is happening and get a feel for it. I use a film changing bag for the process. After some practice, it will about 5 to 10 minutes to do the transfer and be ready to load the camera.

Photogoddess-very nice boat pic. I really like the monochrome warm brass with highlights of blue and purple.

I really like the composition you did on this one. I'm guessing you took this picture in the morning or late afternoon. The slight yellow hue outlining the water and the position of the boat really makes this shot. I would consider it ordinary without these features.

Photogoddess, you also have a great picture too. I like your composition, hue, and the rows of lights.

this shot was just before I ran out of light. taken upstate NY on Lake Harris. Those gold tones is one of the things I like the most of this shot too, that and I like the silouette of the conoe in the upper area...thanks for noticing![/quote]

Negative scan from HP5+. Can't make it look anywhere near as good as it is on photo paper, but here it is anyway. In the marina near my office.
