Found this in a box. No shutter, glass is dirty and the white spot is internal.

he's never seen a cow before...

He was staring them down, lemme tell you what... He didn't even blink for, like, two whole minutes...

movie called Isle of Dogs but, he couldn't make it.

It's his favorite movie. Packed with action, suspense, heroism, self perspective..

Tl;Dr I did something, but see last paragraph.

To touch upon my earlier post, went to a spot 4 mins from my house and after setting up, this blue heron crashed the party.

Horseman 4x5, Schneider Kreuznach 210mm, Toyo holders, Toyo loupe, Pentax Spotmeter (Zone VII) Gitzo, Manfrotto

Three exposures, expired (02-01) Pan-X 125 rated at iso 50. The Pentax meters at ⅓ higher, so iso 64 effectively. Metered off the white water closest to the far bank. 1/4 sec, F/8, the other two were 4 secs at f/32 and 8 secs f/64. Basically the same.

All three came out well. Did a quick window light cellphone photo and invert just to see.

Chemistry: R09 1/100 80° 10 min, stop, Ilford Rapid 5 min, hypo, rinse, dry. Strearman SP-445 tank. My squeegee sucks so I tossed it a year ago and just use another 4x5 negative to shed water (it works really well, promise)

Will scan later. I got attacked by a dog six days ago while walking my own dog. After punting the stray, my bloody dog and I made it home and, upon closer inspection, all the blood on him was *mine*... 11 puncture wounds, 5 hours in the ER, stitches, rabies vaccine (six shots then, three Friday, two next Friday, one the following Friday) The first two items on the possible side effects were fatigue and joint pain, and, ngl, I'm all kinds of FU atm... But my dog is good, I'm on the upswing, and... I got this bird.

I got an 8 second shot of this guy, hopefully it's good. He didn't move the entire time so should, maybe be sharp. I got a ¼ sec one as well.

Its old Pan-X 125 b&w, that expired in Feb 2001. I shot it at 50 iso with a ⅓ stop over EV (so, ISO 64) and will give it an R09 bath later this morning. I took 2 control shots before the blue heron got there for development parameters (fingers crossed)

Id much rather have HC110, but it's at the fiancé s house and she's gone for the weekend...

My 4x5 Horseman came in a suitcase.

While it's nice and compact, I feel weird carrying this through the woods, especially with a bag of film holders and dark cloth.

Solutions? Examples of monorail setup?

I read somewhere about a guy who used a piece of plastic tubing to help retain the wafers as each chamber is loaded.

¾" OD x 1.5", with a notch cut into it. The guy at the hardware store didn't even charge me for it.

It's the little things...

the lack, thereof...
