Building a Toy, a photo essay.

Thanks!!

What do you mean by "manual?"

 

Dark room ect, I use to do a lot of photography back in the day with 35mm cameras, develop them and do a lot of other fun stuff. Your shots are awesome by the way.

 

Nikon 35mm with a Hurst shifter.

 

Nice camera! I'm feeling old. How ya doing Capt?

 

That is what I thought, just haven't heard to it referred to is as manual in a while. I started in high school with 35mm B/W film and then in college I moved up to medium format photography and slide color film. I also spent a little time working with a 4x5 camera and did landscapes with my head under the black cloth. I really enjoyed that.
I have used many different types of cameras, but now I primarily stick to digital for ease of use.

 

Fair to middlin'. Trying not to become a mosquito buffet with all the rain we've had.

I'm losing.

 

Digital is so nice too, just way expensive not that manual was much better lol

 

Keep fighting the good fight.

 

Heck, iPhones these days are good too! I took this with my phone in Wisconsin.

 

Wow. I thought Wisconsin was a solid white wasteland.

To be fair, I've only been there in winter.

 

I've been there during the winter too,..

I thought it was beautiful.

 

I'm from Texas. South Texas. I took all the coats I owned with me and wore them all at the same time.

It wasn't enough to not freeze my chee-chees off.

That colored my perception of the landscape a weeeee bit.




I did go curling, that was fun. Mostly because they drink A LOT of beer.

 

I only had the two coats at the time. A shooting jacket and a leather jacket. I was woefully unprepared.

One day, 6" of snow fell overnight. School ignored it. When we get a flurry they close the state.

 

It's not about a crapton of coats, it's the function
You need a base layer that breaths
You need an insulating layer that works even when wet
You need an external layer that blocks wind
Then you need accoutrements like gloves, boots and hats that basically do the same thing

When I was in Greenbay it hit -45deg actual temp windchill was -65

6" of snow?
That's a dusting.

On a lighter note how are you all doing with everything that's been happing in the last week or so?

 

I use to live in the border of Canada and MI in Saulte Sainte Marie. It would have piles of so now in June still, though they looked like dirt. They got a lot of snow and very cold weather. Once took me 3 days to get my truck running due to frozen fuel lines.

 

Someone is stalking me?

 

Finally got through OP' s thread lol

 

Wasn't going to buy a coat I didn't need after a week. Since that trip, I haven't needed anything heavier than a fleece jacket and a windbreaker.

Austin's fine, no real Harvey damage. Problem now is that most stations are out of gas because of panicky idiots.

 

Same here!!!!!

I woke up to 164 alerts. I feel like @23Skidoo or @ChadsPride.
