Chrome paint count?
Another darkroom print, with a crop and a 2 stop burn in of the train using a mask, pretty tight a little bit out in places, need more practice.

Last night I uploaded 5 images to the MSA gallery. They were all taken at the recent Ladner Quilts and Cars show with my Mamiya 645 Pro and 45mm lens. In each case, using Kodak TMY developed in replenished X-Tol:

This MSA got me to build a pinhole camera I've been thinking of making for years.
Discussed a little in this thread (there's a photo of the camera at the end).
Needs some more work, but here are the first couple photos made with it.
These are paper negatives.

Two keepsakes that belonged to my grandfather.
The watch is more "silver and gold" than chrome, but it's shiny metal.
I guess the key might be nickel plated rather than chrome, but similar idea :smile:

NedL thanks for posting this. I have a little project in mind and the subject matter is virtually the same, my grandfather's pocket watch. You've given me inspirationQUOTE="NedL, post: 2110367, member: 59345"]This MSA got me to build a pinhole camera I've been thinking of making for years.

OK, I have finished arguing with myself. Its time to comment:

Honorable mentions:
Bertus - The hollow man. Interesting take on the subject. I particularly like how you have positioned yourself against the wall.
rpavich - Image 1. I like how the chrome has all the crap and corruption of being on the road. I like how you have gotten in really close and the distorted mirror image
NedL - Image 1. This has really challenged my own impression of what makes a good image. I like the position of the watch. I like how the pinhole has given enough detail to know what we are looking at.

Which leads me to the Winner:
MattKing - "Even dogs deserve a little bling":

OK, the chrome is clearly there, which meets the brief. But for me, the story is what makes the image. At first, my reaction was "jeez, I wish he had taken it 30 seconds earlier, while the dog is lapping up the water", but after more ...."reflection"..... I changed my mind. We have the bowl. We have the water splashed everywhere. We have the hind legs of the dog, with the dogs handler leaning in to get a closer look of the Dodge. We also have other on lookers. There is enough in there that leads me into the story I want the image to portray

Excellent and well seen. Congrats!

Cheers and I hope you all enjoyed this MSA.
