Congrats, mmelvis, like both of these. Doing your own developing is a lot
of fun. I still get a rush when I pull the film off the spool after developing.

Interesting results.

Can we have a pic of the camera?

Way to start, right at the beginning Laughing Now you only have the dull downward spiral of history to look forward to... Seriously nice box camera wielding and first time developing.

really like these especially the way the helmet and tank highlights have been captured. Did I read it correctly that you used a camera from 1912 or so? Would like to see a pic of it as well.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I am enjoying developing my b/w film.

you must be young, with a young back to ride that thruxton. it is a way snappy looking triumph, so '60s. a bonnie is my style, and i'll have one some day, one of the modern ones like yours ...

Lookin good for a first time go at it.

Tell me, is that an optional seat for the Thruxton? I've only seen them wth the cafe-style seats.

Also, I note that you used the HP G4050 scanner. Congrats on the scan quality. I bought one of those, struggled with getting sharp image out of it and failed, and took it back. Bought a lightly used Epson 4990 instead, which I've been most pleased with.

Got any more pics? Especially of the bike? Cool

The seat just has a plastic cover that goes over the back half of the seat to give the cafe racer hump.

The scanner, HP G4050 scanner, was $80 from e*bay site. Guess I got lucky with this one.

Had to work out for a few weeks just to get to a point where I could ride the bike. No problem now doing 300-400 mile rides.
