I had never heard that quote on the Mosquito. Thank you for sharing.

WWII Warbirds, European Theater

I did not know there were any air worthy Mosquitoes left. Its amazing what was done with a pair of Merlins and some plywood. Drove the Germans crazy. Good work!

Fried "Eclipse" Camera?

When you shoot film there's no issue with camera damage. I shot a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 135 with 600 mm lens. I will post when developed. We were at 93.5% total.

Color or B&W? Another Compare-and-Contrast

Just Fred wrote:

Well, I couldn't find an Ektar 100 preset, but using ON1 Photo Effects, I used the B&W filter, applied the Kodak® Tri-X 400 grain filter, goosed a few values, and here's the result. Actually, this is an exported result, as the file ON1 created was 17.1Mb...

Now I really like that.

Is anyone as frustrated as I am with the current events?

WTF, moron? Got your feelings hurt? Go give mommy a hug and sit in her lap and cry awhile. You'll feel better when your tantrum is over, snow flake.

No, but you obviously did.

Color or B&W? Another Compare-and-Contrast

This is very cool! Everyone so far has agreed the B&W is the favored rendering.

Back in my college days, I shot almost exclusively B&W (oh, how I loved Kodak Tri-X 400!). I think I have software that will let me process the image much like @DaveC1 suggests...

Thanks, everyone!

My apologies for not answering the question. Yes I do prefer the B&W.

Wolf Spider On My Garage Wall

I do so like photographing the small and often unseen. Good work.

Vintage Woman With Mask

Okay, this started as a tin type? or something from further back like a ambrotype or a daguerreotype I do like what looks like a "plague" mask.

Very nice, I particularly like the second one down. You captured all the step leaders off the main discharge path.

That's one of those that would have benefited from being shot with Kodak Ektar 100 film, IMO, or processed to look like it.

Would like ID of old glass Negative

Remember the White House was guted and redone during the Truman administration, so any photos from earlier would not match present conditions.

And had you been paying attention you would know I figured out who the lying sacks of dung were in about 2003. You missed that wake up call so now look what your stuck with.
