Time to introduce one of my other passions - Music via High Voltage! Cold weather DIY pursuits. (Should have dusted!) I've built a few amps over the years. This one (for those into that sort of thing) is 12BH7 driving 5998. #glassaudio #tubes4fun #dynaco #DIY

A black and white photograph of a Methodist church in Marydel, MD. The cross on the steeple is popping against the winter sky. 1/1000 sec. works great on my M3.

Winter Sky Silhouette πŸ“· Leica M3 🎞️ CineStill BWXX πŸ”­ Voigtlander 28/2 Ultron - A pretty little church in Marydel, MD. With this BWXX, I love the way I can move the curves around in development and in post. #filmphotography #filmismorefun #believeinfilm #MonoAMano

It’s wonderful stuff, it takes me right back to 1980. Great tonal range and very forgiving of exposure. I use iso 250, but you could push or pull to your hearts content. I hope you like grain. It wants an old fashioned developer like D76 or Rodinol. Have fun, Nikolaj !

A black and white photograph of Marydel Ag Supply of Marydel, DE. Standing in Maryland, the building itself is in Delaware. "No sales tax!" sez my dad.

Many of the community features are on the MD side while many retail establishments are on the DE side - which features no sales tax. Although the fire department is on the DE side, the Post Office is on the MD side. There appear to be several buildings that straddle the line.

I guess not *in* both - It elegantly straddles the state line between these two great states. The locals do speak of it as one place that exists in two places, which is elegant in its own way.

A black and white film photograph of the Community Hall in Marydel, MD. This charming, quiet, mostly agricultural town is split right down the middle between MD and DE. CineStill BWXX hand developed with Rodinal 50:1 for 9min at 20deg C or 68deg F.

Some motion blur here. It was a breezy day. Prolly 1/250, which is my go-to.

No scans yet, but they look great! Still good contrast and grain, but not fried to a crisp.

Is it that different from Tri-X? Or is it simply cheaper when you get short ends from movie production?

It's hard to tell the scale here, but these are VERY large flowers 6-8" (15-20cm)
