any photo groups in nyc?

[sokrasins]

Yeah, definitely let us know if you're going.

Fotoguy20d, I'm not shooting LF, but I'd be interested in observing someone else for a bit if that's ok, as I've never seen it!

[sokrasins]

Anyone else? Just a reminder, the meetup is on Saturday at 12:15.

Hey,

If anyone has a smartphone, there is a good chance ill be a bit late :( i didn't realize the 1 train was out below 14th. I'm in a cab now, but I may be late

[sokrasins]

[Tony D]

I'm late because of the 1 train, missed the 12:00 ferry

Dan and I are here, why don't you give me a call when you arrive? My number is 423 323 0612

See you in a bit

Today was a lot of fun! I met up with Dan, we covered a lot of ground, and now I've got a bunch of 120 rolls to develop.

Tony, sorry again for listing the wrong phone number. I hope you managed to get some great shots.

Those who weren't able to join us, Let's do another meet-up in a month. Exactly one month from now, july 2, might be tricky since it's a holiday weekend, so what about june 25th? I'll start a new thread for it too in a day or so. Suggestions for a location, maybe on manhattan?

Thanks, Dan, for meeting up, and sorry again Tony.

This sounds like fun! I may be spending the month of July in NYC. If something is happening around that time then you can count me in too!

The 25th sounds cool!

[rcam72]

Caught this thread too late to make it to the last meet, will plan for the 25th though. How about creating an actual group in the group section? Theres a LI group and a Hudson Valley group but no NYC. It would make it easier for more people to find.

Great day out on Governors Island. Here are a couple of very bad scans of paper negatives from the day (haven't processed the HP5 yet). The first was taken using a 90mm f8 Nikkor at f22. The second is in poor imitation of Jim Galli. The lens is a 4x5 f11 Gundlach meniscus (the one I show in this thread (http://www.apug.org/forums/forum44/79474-lf-vintage-lenses-fun.html)). I discovered it fit into the shutter from a 5x7 Gundlach RR, which allowed me to shoot wide open (I very crudely estimated around f5). It's actually a respectably sharp lens stopped down to f22-32 but this seems like much more fun.

Cool photos Dan!

Here are a mix of the c-41 photos I took during the meetup and some taken previously (all from Governor's Island). This represents my first effort in personally developing c-41, so there are still some kinks to work out in the process :p

Also, I'm going to create a meetup group today as per the suggestion of Raul, and post about the next meetup.

[sokrasins]

Alright, I just made a group called "Manhattan Meetup". This should be an easy way to spread the word about dates and details. Join if you're interested in joining us!
