When I needed a project for a photography class, I chose to shoot closeups of flowers. A local supermarket provided me many of my subjects. A local nursery did as well. The photo lab tech for the college did book binding as a hobby and I wound up with a nice photo book of the project.

Does the Kodakcolor 200 always shoot with that much grain?

Thank you!

Modesto, CA. There are some more I took for my final project. I will post some a bit later. My idea was to capture the juxtaposition of the beautiful artwork against its gritty environment, namely the alleys and parking lots.

Ah … you haven’t read the whole thread. 😊 I currently have a Pentax 6x7 and a YashicaFlex TLR. I think I’m set … for now. 🙄 But thank you anyway!

Let me see how this one works out first. I *may* be interested in a lens later as I learn more about the 6x7.

Update: Thanks to the generosity of a UHH member, I acquired a Pentax 6x7 with three lenses. Unfortunately, two of the lenses have fairly bad fungus issues, while one had minor fungus. The body isn't too bad, but there is a bit of rust. All of this isn't too surprising since the camera came from Hawaii. I left it with a local repair shop for some time to have it gone through and get new light seals. However, after waiting months to get it back, he never did get around to doing the work so I finally reclaimed it. It sat for awhile as I got busy with other things. I eventually loaded a roll of film and shot it, but I still haven't developed it. Too many other things happening at the same time. But it is on my soon-to-do list. It will be interesting to see if there are light leaks, any effect from the fungus, and whether I had the skill to use it. 😳 At 5 lbs it's a beast for this old man to hold. I'm thinking a tripod is going to be mandatory. I did buy a light seal kit and will do that repair myself.

Last month I ran across an eBay deal on a YashicaFlex TLR from Japan that came in shipped for under $100. So now I have that to play with. I have shot about half a roll with it so far and need to get out and do a street walk to finish it. I'll let you know what happens.

Thank you, gents!

Shots from a project for a color photography class.

Nice. B&W has my vote. I enjoy perusing your photos closely (all photos really) looking for the odd, interesting details. I seldom walk away empty handed. In this case it’s the Butt Stuff sticker in the window. Things that make you go hmmmm …

I actually think I like the color better on this one. Good work either way.

Another nice shot. Well done!

Very nice.

Are you sure they’re happy? Maybe that’s a “Dear John” letter she’s getting ready to hand to him.

Great shot!
