A few more from the Horizon Perfekt

I Really liked the way this view of the Flat Irons turned out.

Just a view of the Prairie at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal

And a Panorama at my friend's Church, St Ambrose.  Opens up some interesting opportunities for Architectural Photos.  Hadn't thought of using a Panorama Camera inside.

Panorama Comparison #1 & 52 Rolls Week #13

I'm going to be posting side-by-side comparisons for several options that I have for shooting Panoramas.  You've seen some of these cameras before and others will be new options for familiar camera friends.

Today a new Option.  I will be doing another series, because I had different films in these cameras and I want to do a true direct comparison with the same films and exposures, etc.

But we will start with a new option for an Old Friend:  The Mamiya 7 with a 35 mm Panorama insert and the Horizon Perfekt swing lens Panorama camera.  I had forgotten that I had color film in the Horizon.  But the main thing to notice in the comparison is that the horizon has a much wider field of view,  and that was what I wanted to learn from this experiment.

Above (Mamiya 7 35mm) and Below (Horizon).  Reservoir at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.

Second view of the reservoir, panning north from the same position.

The Indian Peaks from Lake Waneka.

I assume that the streaking is an artifact of developing.  What do you think?

And the NOAA Satellite Communication Dishes.

Some interesting results. As I said we'll do a Redo for a more direct comparison.  I've posted the B&W images as Week #13 of the 52 Rolls Project.  I will post the color photos for Week #14.

Palm Sunday

May you have Peace and Reflection this Holy Week.

Hops and Handrails Part Deux

So the Handrails idea is to bring snow down from the mountains and have snow boarders and skiers do stunts.  But our unseasonably warm weather played havoc with idea.  Nevertheless, they persisted:

But the I think the Harley's win for best ride:

Saturdays Online: I Would Never Waste Good Beer......

Or even a cheap beer trying to develop film.  But in the mind numbing search for new ways to develop film that DON'T reliably work as well as traditional methods....Now you can develop your B&W Film with Beer.  Check it out if you are interested. I guess we would call this an experimental method.  At least Caffenol only uses horrible instant coffee that you should never drink anyway.

Let's move on to Something that makes sense, Like Free Beer For A Year! No Foolin'

We won a free growler every month from the Sponsors of Hops & Handrails, 

The Left Hand Brewing Company.

And  few B&W views from Hops and Handrails:

Nice to see participation from the Midwest.

As a geochemist by training, I really liked the Periodic Themed Beer. 

We'll have to check them out next time we are in Leadville.

This has been posted as Week 11 of the 52 Rolls Project.

Next we'll see what the 'handrails' are all about.
