Nice work work on all of these, Paul. The first is my favorite.
So far, down here in central Indiana, we had about a half inch in November and a dusting a couple days ago.

We all should be happy to not be caught overnight on the highways in the DC area in their foot+ of snow.

Thank you Mike, globetrekker, junglejim1949, Peter, Gary, Ray, Tdearing, John! Last winter I learned about the ice breaker that runs through the Chicago River downtown to break up the ice. Now that would be an 'architecture tour' through the city. Glad you all enjoyed.

Thanks!

Nice shots of an interesting city, but they confirm why I won't visit Chicago in the winter. Thanks for sharing.

Paul, I never used T-MAX 400, my favorite was the 100 version. I have mentioned that before but I will do it once again, it was a nightmare finding a developer that worked for me when using T-MAX 100. It became so frustrating that I was ready to quit.
Then I read an article about a gentleman who was using Agfa Rodinal. I looked at his images and they had eactly the tonalities I was looking for. Perhaps I have been shooting for too long Tri-X with Kodak HC-110 Solution B. That combination to me was magic.
After testing the film with the new developer I was a happy camper again. I did not abandon using Tri-X but when I wanted fine grain T-MAX was my favorite film. It was hard for me to make a decision when shooting landscapes. Both films offered excellent results.
Your images look fine to me.

Awesome photos, Paul. I enjoy all of your photos, especially the ones of air shows. I wish we had a little more snow here in NM, but I’ll leave the bitter cold to you hardy folks in Chicago.

Thank you William! I don't process my own film, so your developer issues are lost on me.
I bought some bulk expired film in 2019 that came with a lot of Tri-X, a film I hadn't used much before. I did some TMAX rolls as a basis of comparison in last year's shooting.Jan 4, 2022 17:12:57 #
Thank you Paul, alberio, William, Susan, Earnest, cwp3420! I have some more film shots from last winter, stay tuned.
