How Cool. These were a precursor to digital If my memory is right digital cameras were starting to make their appearance around that time.
Yep.... this was definitely the collision course. The system was a day late and a dollar short. Thanks for the comment and taking a look :) have a great day.

I am posting this here because the UHH peeps from the close up section are the bestest, smartest, most brilliant and appreciative peeps in all of Hogdom :)
Photo....
On the right (2 advantix APS) film cameras, introduces in 1996. APS stands for advanced photo system. APS was an adventure led by Eastman Kodak partnered with Fuji film and other manufactures to revolutionize the consumer market in photography. The aspect ratio was selected to be in alignment with the standardization of the HD spec. Also introducing the addition of meta data to the image file. It was (maybe arguably) the brain child of George Fisher (CEO of EKC) Who’s background brought him in from Motorola. Around the same time digital photography was advancing and eventually (more rapidly than though) won. The APS C sensors we are today very familiar with are based on this format. That is a quick review. Some of you may want to search the history of APS It’s pretty interesting.
On the left is a point and shoot 35 mm film camera (circa 1986). It was one of the new generation of reverse wined camera’s. Reverse wined, instead of pulling the film forward after each picture, the system unwound the film onto a second spool then pulled the film back into the cassette after taking a picture. Anyone who shot 35 mm back in the day and had accidently opened the camera before they rewound the film by hand into the cassette know’s the value of it (you now did not loose the pictures you already took). This was also a motorized process (no more hand winding and unwinding).
With reference to the former, APS took this to another level because it registered the films advance distance. So if you wanted to change film types you could take out the cassette in camera and replace it with a different film. Then you could put that cassette back in the camera and the film would reset to the previous position and you could continue (finish the roll) another time.
It was all actually some pretty cool innovation.
Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it :)

In the South, a cabin design that has a full breezeway between the front and back is call a "dogtrot cabin".
Parents and newborns lived in the left side, and kids lived on the opposite of the cabin.
My maternal grandparents lived in such a cabin until they had a more traditional one was built.

Stunning Shot, and great story to go with it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much. Yep, I love Pan F but it’s touchy to work with for me. I really fell in love many years ago with Tri-X and it’s still my go-to for both 120 and 35mm when I have to get it right. Ilford makes some great film too, I like the Delta line a lot, but just something about the grain of Tri-X...I just love it.
I must say Tri-X was always a bit of a challenge for me, although I did shoot a lot of it. I do remember shooting it at ISO(ASA) 800 and push processing (fun with film). Prolly shot more Plus-X especially 120 format. I any case you needed to get it right. I think it is kind of interesting that many photographers in the this digital world like to incorporate old film grain into there pictures (and at the same time demanding more pixel density on their sensors to eliminate Noise/Grain). Oh well that's another subject totally. I do some Black and White projects (the neat thing is when I don't get it really right), I can put the color in and am forgiven. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Have a great evening. THANX :)

A Hollyhock (I think 🤔) on a cedar fence. Shot with Mamiya 6x7RB on Ilford Pan F 50 film, 90mm at f5.6.
I love this shot. I like the monochrome and the texture's. Ilford Pan (great film). My personal preference was Kodak Panatomic X (ASA 32). Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to shoot some film.

Some of our orchids are blooming and I want to share them with fellow Hogs. All shots were taken using my Nikon P900. The first two were taken at f/8 using daylight flood lighting. The third was taken using auto flash.
NICE, I have a mild passion for orchids myself. It's like there always posing. Excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing. 3's my favorite
