After the initial expired color film to test the Yashica Electro GL of any light leaks, etc., I decided to put in HP5 400 during a recent family trip to Atlanta.

Here are two links to two galleries I put up at my university.

The first was on HP5 400 and the second link are those that were with same film but pushed to 1600. I don't know whether the lab did a good job or not as this is the first time after 25 years of absence from BW film. But one thing for sure, consider me a newbie with the medium with lots to learn.

C&C welcome.

Among them, I like these very much.

Another one from the 'What are you hopes and dreams for American Democracy' wall.

Looks as though you may have taken these at "Underground" Atlanta...I haven't been down there in years though...Did you make it to the aquarium?

Yes, we managed to go to the Aquarium. I would definitely rate the aquarium among the best I have been to. The only complain I have is the crowd. There were just too many people there. We enjoyed the last 45 mins. before closing as the crowd were mostly gone.

The following pictures were taken handheld with EF10-22 (sorry, I don't have any MF UWA lens). They were only possible because of the lack of crowd.
