From Roll 2021-033 (Olympus OM-1n/HP5)

It had been a while since I used the Olympus OM-1n. The Zuiko 85mm f2.0 has been a favorite lens for a long time, so I put a roll through the kit while helping a friend take his boat and dock out of the water for the season.

The OM’s viewfinder is still one of the biggest and brightest I’ve ever used. The camera itself is actually smaller than a Leica M. It’s a great setup. Here are a few highlights from the roll.

The dogs were very popular, especially Chuck, the puppy
Maybe too creepery, but I thought it was a beautiful and powerful configuration.

A few 4×5 self-portraits

I had the house to myself today, so I set up a backdrop and pulled out the strobes for a few large format film self-portraits using the Linhof.

These were all shot with the Linhof Master Technika on HP5 Plus, developed in HC-110 for 5 min (Dilution B) and scanned on the V750.

I triggered the shutter by biting the bulb. Try that with an iPhone ????
