Lens Across America - The Traveling Lens (Round 5)

[waday]

Come on, @Destin! What, are you doing this for free or something?

Oh, great. Now I gotta 'join' somewhere else?

Sparky if you don't want to join flickr - one of us can post your shots

 

[vintagesnaps]

I'm just a lurker, popped in to see what was happening. I remember this being done before but didn't follow along. It might be interesting once it's done (and hopefully finds its way back to Destin) if you share on here how it went? just a thought.

I hit the join button. Said it is by invite only. Your not an insider. Cant just join.

Interesting. I’ll look into that.

Update:

I’m so sorry for the massive delay guys. I’ve had a crazy few weeks in life and things just got in the way.

The lens has shipped and should be arriving to the first participant on Saturday, so the ball is now rolling.

I’m headed to DC in the morning, but will look into the Flickr issues while I’m there or when I get back. If anyone would like to help me out by becoming a mod/admin in the Flickr group please shoot me a PM.

It’s here!

It’s raining and generally disgusting outside right now. Hopefully it’ll clear out this afternoon so I can start to gather some photons.

As I’m typing this, it starting raining harder, haha.

This will be interesting. I've been going through a drought of creativity. Haven't taken a photo in months other than to document something. Have fun Jon.

Some of the best images I've seen were taken in the rain.

The plan is to use my N75 for most of my shooting with this lens, and I realized I had 30 exposures of Agfa VISTA 400 in still in it from last year. It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of that roll works out. I’m hoping to get through that roll and the roll of Ektar I bought before the week is up.

 

[MartinCrabtree95]

I have some Eastman 5222 and some expired Ilford PanF. I'll shoot the XX @500 and the PanF @box. Both have been frozen since new and should be fine. Both will see not quite stand in Rodinal @50:1. Have some ideas what I'm going for and the development is part of it.
