I found one for $22.50 but I haven't really shopped around for them.

Talk to you later.

here there sweets!

thanks, the pinball machine is a hell of a lot of fun. did you get ur bike? btw, when r u going to post pics of it?

i started shooting about the same time. i started with a second hand F2. i shot mostly crappy film like kodak max and whatever was on sale. took me a year to figure out that buying better stock made a world of diference. actually, when i started acumulating darkroom stuff was when i started shooting plus-x and tri-x. now, the only color i shoot is slide stock. well, with the exception of portra, which i really love the 160vc. once you go black and white, it's hard to go back.

anyway, the lightning shot. here's the story. i've always shot a ton of night stuff. i used to work 2nd shift, so the only time i really had to shoot was after work. so, i was comfortable shooting in the dark, it had become second nature. 1:30-2:00 at f11 or f16 for 125iso.

this past fall we were getting some rip-roaring thunder storms. real good stuff. i live in a valley, and one night i took the dog out late before i was planning on going to bed. i saw lightning in every direction. no rain yet, so i let the dog do his thing, grabbed the gear and hauled ass up the road to get set up. i had no idea where i was going. i tried up on the hill so i could see everything. by time i got up there, it started pouring like you wouldn't believe. real nasty. decided my gear shouldn't get that wet and i headed back home. on the way i saw an overhang on the front of a business. pulled my jeep in, got out and shot. shot two rolls of 12 and i thought i'd have about half of it with lightning. i ended up getting that one frame. i couldn't believe it. the whole lightning bolt was in the frame.

i ended driving past the business a couple of days later and i saw that they make artificial limbs. what a place to stop at during a nasty storm.

yup, they're healing nicely. thanks so much for asking!
and how are you?

sure, i post to please!

yea, i did...yesterday. still a bit tender here and there

Got your app to SG Motorcycles. Please post in MY journal a little bit about what you ride, where, how long you've been riding, etc. If you don't currently ride, say something about why you should be a member of SGMC anyway. Anything to let me know you're for real will do. If you know a current SGMC member, have him/her leave me a note in my journal.

Thanks.

thanks...i have a thing about undies.

thanks for looking at my stuff. tri-x is king, that's for sure. i bet that stuff alone keeps kodak in business.

Glad you liked the shot. It's actually turning out to be a favorite! It was a very overcast, nasty day. I used polarizing & yellow filters. I learned later that red brings out better skys, but hey learn something new everyday. And I still think it worked great. It's the best sky I got from recent rolls of very overcast days (about a month ago). I always seem to be burning my skies and I hate that.

I don't have anything else Manson...just the stuff in the pics. MY brother has it all now. I bet he has some stuff you'd be interested in.

I took a look at some of your pics the other day. They are really nice. I want to take pics of bands I think ...for a career, but I'm so lost as it comes to my future right now. I thought I wanted to write and take pics of bands, but recently just discovered I don't want to write anymore.

Enuff crap from me. Have a great night!
