Graflex scans, part II

Well, the weather was crappy today, and I was swamped at work, so I didn’t get a chance to head out for my normal morning walk. Not a big deal – I forgot my umbrella anyways. So I scanned in a couple more 6×9 frames from the Graflex Pacemaker 23 Speed Graphic I mentioned yesterday.

Well, after looking at the only other frame of P&W NR-2, I decided it really wasn’t worth a scan – kinda dark and not framed all that well. But I did get a couple decent shots around the ones I screwed up in Groton by leaving the dark slide in. First up is a view along the eastern bank of the Thames, showing some of the waterfront houses.

It was right after this frame that I put the dark slide back in, protecting the film from any errant light. Then once NR-2 started heading for the bridge, I framed up the picture, and forgot to remove the slide, leaving the film in pristine unexposed condition. Oh, well. I did manage to get a few other frames of a fisherman floating by in his boat, with the Thames River drawbridge in the background.

All shot on Kodak T-MAX 400 speed film and developed per the normal guidelines on the box with D-76 developer. I’m waiting for a shipment of film – both 100 and 400 speeds – to come in from B&H. It’s supposed to be here sometime on Wednesday, so I may have a couple more shots Thursday or Friday sometime. Time will tell…

Thanks for looking!
