From my vacation hike in Manhattan. Delta 100 developed in D76 undiluted.

The nice part about not using a meter is you don't have to figure out how to compensate for snow.

Good series. Sharp, well composed and perfect exposure (sunny 16?). D76/Delta 100 looks a good combo, how long did you soup it?

Cheers, Marty.

I like the way you have framed them and I am thinking B&W suits structures very well...#2 and #5

Thanks everyone, it was a fun time. I have to finish the roll of 35mm Kodak Uber-chrome or whatever it is they call Ektachrome these days... oh yes, Elite Chrome... that I had in the Nikon the same time.

Had the Delta in D76 undiluted for the bog-standard 9 minutes. I'm all for simplicity in these things, I have a vague memory of having replenisher and a gallon jug of D76 when I first started, before I went on a search for acutance. Why, I don't even know, I used a half frame Pen FT back then.

And here I thought you were shooting at some cocaine dealers in Central
Park...disappointed. Laughing All kidding aside, these do have an age old
timeless quality to them. I'm sure it has more than a little to do with the
photographer. Wink

Nice series. Hard to pick a best.

I wish I could guess the exposure so accurately. I've been out with a FED 2 and a hand-held meter and still not confident.

Martin - you said it: confidence, the Just Do It thing. I started out timid and for some reason had an unreasonable fear of over exposure. Still trying to figure that one out, what brought that on (auto exposure?)

My system is really simple - in the sun I'm sunny 16 or actually sunny 11 for color print film. Two stops down for open shade, two more for deeper shade. In between, something in between. The two stops thing was what would get me at first, it just seemed too much. If I have a meter with me, I meter a starting value and then do the +/- 2 stop thing.
