More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

I've recently been scanning a bunch of my old negatives for archiving and printing. The more I see of my old Rolleiflex images the more tempted I am to buy another one. I sold my 2.8F back in the early 80's and wish now that I'd kept it. Used the Rollei mostly for shooting pics of my kids when they were young and would like to now relive that experience with my grandson. I think that I shot these two in the 70's using verichrome pan but don't remember how I processed them. Scanned on an Epson 700V.

Carl: Nicely done. Pretty compelling argument for getting another one. :salute:

We took some friends out fishing this morning, the bite was s l o w . Then the weather started closing in on us, so we headed to a sandbar in Biscayne Bay for a swim. I got brave and took the Horizon Perfekt into the water (it was only 3 feet deep).

Very impressive work with the Perfekt. Love the perspective and toning in this shot.

Beautiful shot. Would make a nice tapestry printed on satin cloth.

Matt: Stunning vertical! :thumbup:

These wide aspect shots that you've both been posting are great. The cameras have unique characteristics that you've been displaying here.

No "lighthouse-keeper's daughters" living out here. This could have been the nastiest lighthouse duty in the country!

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, Oregon, ca. 1900. Nicknamed "Terrible Tilly" (or Tillie), for its situation on a rock in the stormy Pacific Ocean, the now-decommissioned lighthouse was built in 1881 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The structure has attached keeper's quarters and a 62-foot tower that originally housed a first-order Fresnel lens 133 feet above sea level. The light was visible 18 miles out to sea.Lighthouse keepers were hoisted onto the rock with a derrick and breeches buoy. This photo shows a man in the buoy with a ship just off to the right (probably because it was a good day). Photographer unknown.

Some interesting history: http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=135

Nice image an great story. I don't think I would want to live on a rock out in the Pacific.

Just wanted to add one last old rollei scan to this series. Nice thing about the TLR was the ease of getting down to the right level to shoot the little folks. Cape Cod bay at low tide, also circa early 70's.
