I am a Christian, photographer, writer and walker, living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska. A theologically-educated geek. He/him. Supports gay/lesbian/trans/whatever folks.

Another from our trip from Rochester to Chicago. This one was tilted badly; once I leveled it I saw possibilities.

Nieces Lydia and Deidre have a geode in their house. I decided a photograph was required. Exposure time about five minutes.

Shirlee's Japanese dolls
A small(!) part of my late sister-in-law Shirlee's Japanese Doll collection, in the bottom shelf of their glass-front bookcase. I slid back the door to take the photograph, hence the reflections above.
Exposure time was close to an hour as I remember; it was not well lit.

I do enjoy the Great Hall at Union Station. This was my first time photographing it with the Ondu 6x12, full width this time.

Holidays at Chicago Union Station
We took the Amtrak from Rochester to Iowa for Thanksgiving, stopping at Union Station both ways.
Shot from behind the pillars on the balcony. I cropped the ends of the photo since they quickly faded into nothingness.

The dynamic range with this film Harman Phoenix II is better than with version 1 but still not wonderful. Combined with the normal corner fall-off of the Ondu 6x6, it made for dramatic vignetting.

Shooting the Ondu 6x12 at full width requires shooting only the even-numbered frames with the 6x6, 12 frame numbers. I started with frame number two, then forgot I had switched from 6x9 and only advanced to frame number three and then to four and so on.
