I'll be in Denver next weekend. Aunt/Uncle's 50th anniversary. Me and my bro are leaving Thu afternoon, get in Fri morning or noon (I'm thinking about stopping at New Belgium brewery on the way in for samplers and a couple of cases. Maybe Fri afternoon or early Sat morning I'm going to try and run him up to Blackhawk. My cousin built a big log cabin just above blackhawk and my friend's never been to CO before so I'm gonna let him check is O2 uptake at altitude.

Awesome.

Don't forget easy on the alcohol. You skip a few steps of intoxication at altitude.You skip right past wobbly barstool to unable to operate barstool.

Animal cruelty at it's best

[8ftbed]

oh noes!!!! No animal cruelty. I'm totally and most strongly against that. Let it be known.

However comma I'm also a horticultural activist with equally strong feelings about disappearing tulip bulbs, planters being tunneled out, flowers being eaten, vegetables being taken down at ground level and mid-winter lower branch pruning by vagrant bunnies is particularly disturbing. .22 cal, fresh co2 cartridge and tray full of wadcutters balances things out nicely though.
It was a clean shot and he never blinked.

[KookaSaurus]

Thats a match bro

damn, haha. I wasn't really paying attention to what was making the smoke. Just a white object.

[VertigoJ]

Not a great shot, just felt like showing off what I'm shooting with at the moment. Minolta X-700 and Pentax Super Program. My XG-M is in the hands of a friend.



I need to figure out how to shoot all this.

dang thats a lot of film

[GPymp]

effin' around...

[VertigoJ]

Well the Pentax is, to the best of my knowledge, toasted. It got left behind at a bonfire and as soon as I left it began pouring. I highly doubt anyone at that fire had the mental capacity left to grab it and put it under the tarp. I was really getting to like shooting with that one, too. I swear I have horrible luck with cameras, I am glad I find them cheap. If I get anymore news, you'll be the first to know, since I am sure you care. :P

In the meantime, the last roll I shot with it was inspired by Lexx, and I cross processed some expired tungsten balanced slide film. My results, however, were nowhere near as nice.

[carvinconcrete]

vertigo, to say the least, that sucks bad.


Trying out the close up capability on my new camera. That's as close as the 18-55 gets.
