Art and Wine Festival

[David]

Took in the Lafayette Art and Wine Festival this weekend. I brought my new camera -- I'd gotten it the day before -- a Balda Juwella 6X9 folding camera. Functions all checked out, no bellows damage, so a bit of cleaning and we were off. I took one roll, Ilford Delta 100 expired in 2002, as a test. Seven of the eight shots turned out. Developed in D-76 at room temp (about 72) for eight minutes, fixed for 10. Here are a few:


Hand-held at 1/25th of a second, wide-open. The largest marked aperture is 6.3, but the slider keeps going a bit, maybe to 5.6 or maybe not quite based on the distances between marks.


The specks are, fortunately, due to a drying error and not a dirty lens element.


Rowr, bears!


General Lafayette, for whom the town is named. Best shot on the roll, though nothing spectacular.

How did you get black specs from drying?

Errr.... Well.... Kleenex. Don't say it, I know.
