52 Rolls Redux: North Park Colorado

-->

I wasn't sure I'd have anything to post.......I was experimenting with films and that means we can't count on the results.  But on closer inspection my Ilford SFX-200 experiment using an IR 695 Filter  were more successful than I had expected.  Below, Nokhu Crags (12.490 ft, 3807 m) in the Never Summer Range, above Cameron Pass:

We continued to chase Fall Across Northern Colorado along Poudre Canyon and North Park:

Tech Info:  Ilford SFX-200 (infrared sensitive) film, IR 695 Filter with a filter factor of +2 dialed in (probably need +3 next time), Mamiya 6X7 Rangefinder with 43 mm lens.  Developed and scanned by Old School Photo Labs.

52 Rolls: Week 39:52

Nokhu Crags West of Cameron Pass:

I was experimenting with Ilford SFX-200 IR Sensitive film using an IR 695 Filter (which lets in some visible light).  I'm liking this much better than SFX experiments using the darkest red filter. I only used a filter factor of +2 here, so next time I'll try +3.

See more from Week #39.

Saturdays Online: Remember the Filter Factor .........

Some how it had escaped me that Rangefinders DO NOT meter through the lens that is making the image.  So I had some exposure problems using my darker filters.  SO today I am doing Filter Factor Exposure Tests for the Mamiya-6, Mamiya-7 and Canonet:

So I invite you to now pick your poison!  Which Rangefinder would you start with?  Here are some Suggestions for Starter Cameras.........

Moose Fun in North Park

More Canonet images from our 4th of July Trip to North Park.  This time some Moose Fun!

Above taken from the Moose Overlook at State Forest State Park, in North Park.  Yes this looks like great moose habitat.  Although this trip was the first time we'd actually seen a Moose in North Park.  It is know as the Moose Capital of Colorado because there are supposed to be a lot here.  But they manage to hide quite well.

A Very Specific Sign!

Absolutely No Snow Plowing on the Weekends!

Saturdays Online: Revisiting the Canonet

There was a recent PetPixel article on the Canonet Rangefinder:

Of course I have one, and with my fondness for Rangefinders growing, I've pulled it out again to use:

So for the next week we'll view some recent images from the Canonet:
