Couple of images here. Both were taken with Ilford Pan 400(Note, limited availability in the US).

First shot was taken with my Nikon F4. I think it had the 50mm f1.4D on it, but I did crop a bit in Lightroom. Image is as scanned. I pretty much shoot any welder I come across, and as you can see (though he probably can't much longer) that we have a nice specimen here.

Second shot taken with a Nikon N80 and 35mm f2D. Again, image is as scanned. Dried fish store. I liked the fish. Reminds me of a some sort of gun shop.

    Thank you! I am just happy that I caught the right moment and got the exposure right (manual exposure.) Didn't want to burn up all my film so I only took 2 shots!

    Great welder shot, but that guy's a moron if he can't tell the diff between dark & clear lenses. I like your gun analogy with the fish, too. If only there were a fish firing range!

    Both shots make me want to dig out some film and shoot with that again.

    Thanks for the comments and looking. I think in China (actually, much of Asia), they have a different attitude towards work attire. I don't think I've seen a welder yet with welding eyewear. ****looks over at welding shot on wall. . . yep, that guy's not wearing welding glasses either.******

    Oh wait, here it is, the one and only time I've ever seen a welder with a mask.

    Thanks for looking. Film is fun. Simplifies things in a way, and you get to use old cameras to boot!

    Like the first two. Very well done and shows the differences between there and here.

    Absolutely love the capture on the third with the spark trails and his facial coloration!

    Thanks guys! The long spark trails shot was hand held so I'm glad it turned out as well as it did.
