What began as an overcast 21C day ended a beautiful cloudless evening. So, this pm, shooting the crabbers, strollers, kayakers at Barnet Marine and then the sunset from Burnaby Mountain Park, I shot 1 1/2 rolls (more or less) of E100VS and a roll and a little (5 frames) of E100G in my F3P (the former) and my F6 (the latter).

That is a clean cut. I used an x-acto knife and the edges were rough, it didn't look nice on the negs. Sometimes I lost track of which part was exposed and ended up double exposing it. I really don't use it much anyway.

It's just a fidelity elite dark slide, the flexible plastic. Everyone thinks you should use a knife but that's a poor choice.

This is one of those times we have to admit that "women know better" (that's a semi-sexist joke, in reality anyone could own one) I used a tool that seamstresses use to cut fabric, often quilt makers use them, it is essentially a "pizza cutter wheel" it's a round blade and you roll it, the common brand is "fisker" you can see mine in the photo, it's PINK (for breast cancer) and a very large ruler and a self healing bottom board, all can begotten at the local sewing / craft / fabric store. I used the clamps to clamp the ruler down to the board and keep it all still, and rolled back and forth with the cutter making a score and then following that score over and over as it went deeper and finally through.

Remember measure twice cut once...

And the edges were ALMOST perfect, very smooth and would have been fine but I'm a perfectionist so I QUICKLY took a flame to the edges to melt the plastic just enough so they were smooth (this was very fast movement, not holding still. I held still for too long just at the intersection of the X and Y axis and it melted and deformed a bit which annoyed me, but since it's at the top it doesn't affect the picture.

Hope that helps, just got back all my color 8x10's from Praus and WOW!!!!

Two rolls of E100VS (35mm) photographing some architecture, greenery and assorted other stuff in the neighborhood and the nearby SFU campus (a b-and-a-half from my front door) with an F5, a couple of wide angle Ais lenses, and the 80-200ED. A couple more days of great weather in the forecast, so a few "road trips" into the city to do some more color work (35mm E100G/E100VS).

That Neopan 1600 is nice film. I wish they still made it. Some of my best portraits have been photographed with that film. Something about that beautiful grain and tonality that just works for me. I've used it with Ilford DD-X, Pyrocat, and now 777, and it just sings in all of those soups. Six rolls left...

I just filled a folder with Arista EDU 200. I've never shot either the film or this folder before so I have no idea what to expect. I only know the film is cheap. lol

The grain of HP5 and the speed of FP4... but it does have a lovely tonal curve with good red sensitivity.

Have always been shooting FP4... Just bought a box of Delta 100. Looking forward to shoot it for my upcoming trip to Lake Powell!

A couple of rolls of Ilford FP4+ 120 today in my GF670. Lovely film. I no longer pine for Plus-X.

I can only afford 4x5. I was once given 2 sheets of in date Portra 400 in 8x10 and, although delighted with the results, the lab. costs brought me back down to earth with a bump! Henceforth 8x10 = monochrome for me.
