Dec. 16? Houses and Trees
I swear that I had scheduled this Lumenbox lens post for today, I distinctly remember clicking on 16 and hitting schedule. I’ll try the same thing with the post I’m writing right now. Who knows if that will work? Edit: WordPress scheduling is broken I guess. I definitely scheduled this to post at midnight and…

Dec. 13, 4 Frames of Adox CMS II Inside.
The Adox Adotech IV developer that is the recommended developer for CMS 20 II doesn’t have a very long shelf life, this batch that seemed like I had just mixed up a couple days ago, was about to expire, so my primary inspiration to finish this roll of film was to just not waste the…

Dec. 9, Blurry
I was finishing up a roll of Adox CMS 20 II that I was shooting at ISO 12 when I decided to finish the roll with indoor shots. As you can imagine this resulted in some quite long exposures that required a tripod and cable release, which was all fine and good until I decided…

Dec. 1, 14 Frames of November’s Odds and Ends:
Yikes! I was supposed to post the odds and ends from the end of November yesterday. Instead, here they are a day late and a dollar short, there are more than I expected for what I recall as a somewhat photographically lean month. I’m over 65% sure that these have not been posted before (maybe…

Nov. 11, 10 Frames of Reno Alleys with Adox CMS
I hope you’re not getting too tired of seeing photographs shot with Adox CMS II? It’s a film that seems to always pleasantly surprise me and I currently have several rolls on hand that I plan to shoot in the near future. The Adox Adotech IV, the developer recommended by Adox and the only developer…

Nov. 9, Adox CMS II, How do I Love Thee?
I know that I’m easily amused, but I’m always amazed at how many black and white films exhibit distinctly different characteristics depending upon how they’re exposed and developed. Adox CMS 20 II is certainly one of those films. On the bottle of Adotech IV, the recommended developer for CMS, it gives instructions for developing CMS…

Nov. 4, Flickr Explore!
I hate to be braggadocios, and I realize that in the real world this is of no consequence at all, but Flickr picked one of my tub shots to be in Explore this month. In reality, the shot was probably picked by an algorithm or a Russian bot, but I’m still excited! See what I…

Nov. 3, 5 Frames Inside with the Serenar 50mm and CMS II
These were from the same roll as yesterdays post, shot with my Canon IVSb2, Serenar 50mm f/1.8 lens and Adox CMS 20 II at ISO 12 and developed in Adotech IV. I was a bit surprised that there was enough light to get some indoor shots shooting at ISO 12. I think these were all…

Nov. 2, Learning to See with a 50mm Serenar and Adox CMSII
Typically I don’t get on all that well with 50mm lenses, I find their field of view just too narrow and constraining, but yesterday I was thinking about why I took up Photography in the first place. Not so much to take nice, or even interesting photos, although that’s certainly a factor, but more to…

Oct. 26, 6 Shots of Houses with Adox CMS 20 II
A few more from the same roll as Long Shadows in Reno, as these have long shadows as well I suppose they could have been in that post, but it seemed like these stood apart a bit from the shots in that post and maybe deserved their own post? In any case, these are just…

Oct. 18, 4 Frames in the Backyard at Sunset:
From the same roll as Long Shadows in Reno, Adox CMS 20 II (at ISO 12) shot with my old Canon IVSb2 and not so old Voigtlander (Cosina) 21mm. Developed in Adotech.

Oct. 16, Long Shadows in Reno:
I know I’m biased so you can take what I’m about to say with several grains of salt (hmmm, on further thought maybe that applies to everything I say) but I think that often there is a really a beautiful quality to the sunlight in Reno. I’ve lived a few places and have always been…

Sept. 29, 6 More Frames of Adox
CMS 20 II developed in Adotech at ISO 12. These are from the same roll as my recent walk across Midtown Reno, but at the time it didn’t seem like these really fit in with the rest of the shots. I don’t think they’re awful or anything, maybe just less cohesive than the rest of…

Sept. 23, A Walk Across MidTown Reno with Adox CMS 20 II
It’s been a while since I’ve taken any photographs with Adox CMS, to be honest I’d forgotten what a beautiful film stock it is. The crispness and clarity of negatives shot with CMS easily rival those of my favorite film, Washi S. I don’t think I’ve shot CMS at ISO 12 before, and considering the…

May 18, And a Few More Shots of Downtown Reno with Adox CMS 20 II
Not much to say about these, I don’t think these were as good as the first batch from yesterday’s post, but maybe they’re not all bad? Adox CMS 20 II shot at ISO 12 and developed in Adotech IV.

May 17, First Try With the Adox System
This is another batch of photos that doesn’t really fit with the lo-fi theme of this blog, nonetheless, I couldn’t resist posting them. Adox CMS 20 II is a microfilm film (is that redundant?) intended to be used with Adox Adotech developer as a system. I’ve seen a few photos taken with it that almost…
