Film Cross Country Travel

[MAubrey]

I've been quiet for bit. My Mamiya M645 is gone, replaced only recently now with a Graflex Pacemaker Speedgraphic. I've got a pack of Ilford Delta 100 and three packs on Ilford Harman Direct Positive that I'll using with it in the coming months. I do intend to get back to 120 film eventually, but that won't be til spring.

Anyway, in the meantime, I'm enjoying my little OM-10 (w/ 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/2 Macro, & 35-70mm f/4) and Yashica 35 Electro.

My wife are finally back near home in British Columbia, but on the wrong side of the border and here are some shots from our move:

Thanks for the feature, Amin!

Nice shots, Mike. I'm looking forward to seeing what your Speedgraphic can do.

I see some streaks across the first couple skies. Did the minilab scratch your film? I hate when they do that! If it was processed by a mail order lab, please let us know which one so we can avoid it.

Home developed. I can't afford to mail out my film for professional work. I've only been developing for a year or so and it's hit or miss with the quality. Getting decent results is easier with larger formats. My medium format developing is (nearly) all beautiful--or at least, the defects are less apparent because the smaller need for enlarging and developed results from my speed graphic looks amazing.

I think the problem with these shots was too much agitation.

I've noticed some scratches horizontally on your scans, and on the last roll I've developed at home noticed the same while scanning them, do you think its a problem on the camera or manipulation of the film afterwards? I was more careful with this last roll, but I am likely skipping something.

That's from my developing, not the camera.
