Been there, done that! Still have all my darkroom equipment, including 2 top-of-the-line enlargers that can handle all the way up to 4"x5" sheet film, stored down in the basement. Can't find anyone who wants that stuff anymore. SO much easier to adjust a digital photo in Photoshop than to spend hours in a darkroom making one good print. I also have several rolls of Kodachrome slide film in my freezer - has to be 30+ years old. No one develops Kodachrome anymore.
Good thing I'm not near you, because I'd take it! I would love to make my own prints using an enlarger. No computer needed. I just love that. I shouldn't be reading this. 😂

lol - I forget which forum it was, probably fredmiranda.com, that I gave my entire darkroom away on. A user from Maine drove down. Was going to give it to his son to learn how to develop and print. I had a Bessler 23C, 23C with color head and a 45M enlargers. I'm sure you can imagine all the other 'stuff' that went with it. iirc he barely got everything into his car.

I've been playing around with Paint Shop Pro (gave up on Photoshop), editing the images i shot today. I'm getting bitten by the bug again :) I guess I should thank my wife. She is the one that wants to go to FL - I'm not a fan. I decided it was a good excuse reason to go mirrorless and get a new body.

Somebody doesn't like the neighbors:

This post is a placeholder for what I really would like to say.

Browsing this thread, I was surprised to see there are some fellow photographers on here. I was into photography for a long time, still am just not as much but been trying to get back into it. I mainly photographed all cars and such using film.

I'll share some here.

AND of course this is a tractor forum after all soooo I have to share this one....



Gotta love the good ol' Ford 9600!

Anyways these photos I took sometime in September and October using a vintage film camera.
I don't remember ever seeing a Nova SS station wagon. That has to be a very rare car.

I used to love to shoot pictures with my Leica 3F camera, and then when I gave that one to a friend, I started using a Minolta 35 mm and it was a lot of fun. That was more than 50 years ago. I recently found all my old Minolta cameras and lenses packed away. I had invested a small king's ransom in equipment, and when I couldn't get the film developed any longer, I gave it all up. I should have sold everything off when there still was a market for it but I kept thinking that a lab would eventually pick up where Kodak left off. I was wrong.

When I was a kid we used to eat it. It's very tasty. I understand its part of the lobster's digestive system.

I think now its frowned upon eating because it accumulates toxins that may be in the water.

Same situation for me. I started accumulating Nikon and Nikkormat cameras when I was in the Navy back in the 60s. I now have several of each and many Nikkor lenses sitting down in the basement. Essentially useless to me now, at my age. I noticed even before I went digital about 20 years ago that I was missing focus and missing correct exposure because my eyes just couldn't see what was in the viewfinder very well. The new mirrorless cameras I use now are such a boon to old fools like me. Autofocus is dead on every time. And looking through the viewfinder in a mirrorless camera I can see exactly what the exposure needs to be.

Manual focus, manual exposure control cameras are useless to me at my age.

Got 4 unannounced inches of lovely powdery snow, so I took my adapted 50/1.2 soviet projector lens out for a spin.

I've been practicing with the new camera -all from in the house shooting through the slider in the kitchen. It's winter and the birds have to eat too.
