Nice work. Captured the speed and scale perfectly!

 

Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you chose to showcase a black and white of this photo. The B&W, to me, displays "mood" and I like that aspect of B&W. I've converted a couple of mine and also prefer the B&W version. Here's one I found:

For some reason, I'm having a devil of a time sizing photos for this forum. Although the "Actual size" on my monitor is fine, they're showing up here proportionally larger so I've had to experiment uploading.

 

Anyway, I strongly prefer the B&W version of this digital shot.

Just an iphone snap - no filters! It's amazing what 'phones can do these days, but it was an unusually beautiful day!

I like your dog on the far right side. Adds perspective to a beautiful shot.

Yes, that's Ethel. She's a rescue from Romania. Lived on the streets for two years. Very timid, but adapting gradually.

 

Many thanks for your kind words.

Runic silver ring I have had made early this year. Just to bring luck. Not that I believe in such things. :lol: Writing is in Elder Furthark and ancient Germanic. Had to do some research for how our ancestors did those things. And the language, of course.

Good photo CS388! :) Without a dog, this would be an ordinary photo. But with a dog it becomes much more interesting :)

 

Thanks, Gobane. Very kind.

This is my new avatar [for the time being at least].

 

I took this with a Wista 45DX, on [probably] Agfapan 100, in Sheefrey Forest, County Mayo, Ireland, in late August/early September, 1985.

OOPS! Really haven't had any practice doing this, and I couldn't tell that the incomplete post already had the picture attached.

 

Also, I am just now experimenting with a new scanner (Epson V850), and I'm still trying to learn how to get the best digital file from a negative.

 

Perhaps more to come on this thread.

Technology is not my friend.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

I confess to not having been around for a while. Wonderful shots have been added. I thought retirement was supposed to give me more time... A few shots from the last few months:

No spiders today, but I'm hopeful to get back to them soon, with warm weather now here. Spring got us out yesterday (retirement is wonderful) for an outing to The Old Mill in North Little Rock. It's an interesting place, constructed in the 1930's to resemble a mill, though it is not a functioning one. It is made of concrete, even the "wood" bridges. It was featured in the opening scenes of "Gone With the Wind". This time of year, the dogwood trees and azaleas are blooming and beautiful.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
