Rats. I'll miss the resched too, be up in PA for the family Xmas. Hate to miss the one in my backyard!

Me too, finally one not a hour + away! (Not that this has prevented me from showing up to date)

See y'all there!

That blue Flex waving was me.

There are a ton of threads about this over on NAM. Good stuff, tips and a vendor selling bushings already pressed in, and send back old units for core charge back. I just came from dealer and got same news. (Need control arm bushings). Deferred for a few weeks and while my $ recovers and preps for this. In the meantime I'm going to research what else might make sense to do at same time. I've read to check sway bar bushings and ball joints while it's apart. Dealer quoted $760.00 so I'll be looking around too. I suspect I'll be making a call to Mach V in a few weeks.

You thought, but decided against it? Sorry just kiddin', don't see anything.

Workflow Management? My Preferred system was... Pan-X or Plus-x in D-76... Kodabromide non RC fixed contrast papers in Dektol 1:1 with water. I did break down and used veriable contrast RC paper and filters evetually for some stuff. For image enhancing various dodging tools in assorted shapes at the end metal rods for lightening areas during print exposure, and for areas that needed to be a bit darker you just breath warm breath on the paper to speed up the developer in that area. I also did color prints some and even did a full E-6 Ektachrome process at home a few tiimes. But given they are done in total dark with no manipulation they were no fun. Hahahahahaha sorry I couldn't help it. True though, all true. Oh, and to be honest I DO have a Eye Fi SD card in my digital camera, leave the camera on when I get home and it auto uploads all the new photos to my PC via my WiFi. It only does stills though. Seems I can't put one in my HiDef video camera that uses SD cards and have the video autoupload. And I did get a new printer for home, a Epson 6 ink one that'll print 13" by 19" prints.

Hey Maxi, you ever see my camera collection when out here for a DCMM Cookout? My first camera was a 'Diana'. Took 127 roll film and had three exposure settings and three focus settings. I was 6 and the neighbors got it for me because we were going to Niagara Falls. Then a few Instamatics. First 'real' camera my dad got me a used outfit from a friend that bought a new OM-1 was a Ricoh Singlex (35mm slr) with a 55 f1.4, 28mm f2.8 and a 135mm f3.5. Had two of those. Started adding all kinds of cameras to the collection for fun, Yashica 44m TLR, some very old rangerfinder 35's and a couple 16mm subminiatures. Family started giving me their old cameras too for the collection. Then got a Pentax K2DMD titanium with a 5 fps motor drive, bulk back and data backs. Then went to a Pentax Super Program. When that and the K2 DMD had died I just used the old Ricoh's for a long time. Eventually I wanted better again so, being that to my taste the Pentax Super Program was the pinnacle of camera's I liked (at a resonable cost) I jumped on Ebay and easily aquired a few user Pentax Super Program bodies again and am happy with them. I've been meaing to a a Pentax MX too. Nice light manual body with nice feature set too.

...with a nice 36 x 24 mm sensor at a reasonable price, and Pentax K mount so I could play with my lovely 17-35mm, 135mm F1.8, 500mm F6.3 and other fun glass. Prices (of the non K mount bodies) have come down but not at the speed of many other consumer electronics. There are some (full frame) out there by Canon, Nikon, and Sony but cost a arm and a leg and don't take my lenses of course. Sigh... As I recall from the pre digital days I don't think the back space is right for a K mount adapter on any of them anyway and still get focus to infinity. There was Pentax full frame protype... But went no further. The 20D is a 1.5 crop factor which is getting better. But my 17mm rectilinear will be about a 26mm view at that rate. My fav portrait lens a 135mm f1.8 would be too long for that at a equiv 200mm. And it was a trifle long at 135mm but with the shallow depth of field I can get it is nice. Yes I know I could start over with new lenses, but see I HAVE lenses and I got these cheap over the years. Anyone else lament things like this? The passing of Kodachrome? And Plus-X and Panatomic-X? I'm not that, that old but anybody else remember cameras that didn't even take a battery?

Welcome aboard. While I'm in VA now, I grew up in the Glen Burnie area and worked in Pasedena for years and years... My folks are still there so you'll see a 05 Red convert around too!

One time exposure on a tripod. Hence the moving people. As a kid two friends of mine and I spent a LOT of evenings in a dark field with various lights, hand held flash units, fireworks, flashlights, flares you name it doing long time exposures. Great fun. We did enough of this type 'work' for me to point out that a twin lens reflex is a great camera for this kind of work. On a TLR you don't lose the through the lens image and can coach the people moving lights to stay in frame etc.m or a viewfinder camera, any non SLR really. The 35mm SLR's we used for most stuff weren't the best choice for this stuff.

So how was it?

Hope his recovery is speedy! I emailed Dave... Thanks

Aaah. I see those now. Antique car show Sat, British car show Sunday. Hmmmmmm. Have to rethink things.

It didn't occur to me till your post I don't have much in the way of night time shots of the car. Have to do something about that. Used to be my favorite photography was night time 'stuff'. Time exposures, multiple exposures and the like. This one not exactly dark, but a dim garage!

oops, hey it's both days, Sat and Sun, I signed up for Sat... Edit: The silence in here is deafening P.S. I am looking at going Saturday from about 10 till early afternoon, then heading up to Hagerstown for a 'fun cruise in' my girlfriend'

Did other folks get a confirmation when registering? I signed up today, hoping it wasn't too late. There's no cut off date listed.
