Which definitely made me think of this:

Ha ha, that's great Matt!

That is an odd looking picture.
What is the story behind that guy.?

Guy is good at balancing a cake on his head.

 

[CMoore]

Pretty good...very interesting to look at.
Do you have anymore of those.?

This reminds me of a photo book i am looking at.
"A Day In The Life Of America"
200 well known photographers were told to shoot a photo of their choosing, in The USA, during a certain 24 hour period, May of 1986
Mary Ellen Mark had one frame, on a full 2 pages, of your typical high school Prom Date Night.
It would be easy to think THAT was it.........High School Prom, no big deal, one photo.
But then you see a 35mm contact sheet.
So she shot an entire roll.
But then you read the text.
She shot SEVENTY Rolls..!!!
11 color and 59 B&W

The life of a professional photographer, circa 1985....................burn through 70 tolls of film, at a high school Sock-Hop.
Let the photo editor, and the magazine sort it out

I have a feeling that CMoore has never worked on assignment, with instructions that meant you had to supply a lot of choice!
I've commented many times about my Dad being the customer service manager at a Canadian Kodak laboratory. One of his more interesting encounters was with a National Geographic photographer who had been on assignment on the west coast of Vancouver Island. That photographer was on tight timelines, and needed to see what he had, before he went back out to the coast to finish the assignment. The time involved in getting his Kodachrome to Washington DC (where National Geographic ran an in house Kodachrome line that was apparently the highest volume still film Kodachrome line in the world) was problematic, so he reached out to my Dad's lab, which effectively meant reaching out to my Dad, and arranged for the lab to run an additional, unscheduled run on a the Kodachrome machine.
That means an extra one mile of film processed in that run.
I expect that it wasn't all film from that photographer - there was always customer film that needed processing - but even the semi-automatic slide mount operators had to do another run.
My Dad ended up delivering the results to the photographer - in the bar at the Bayshore Hotel, which was one of the best hotels in Vancouver.
National Geographic must have had a really good credit rating with Kodak!

In those days, National Geographic had a good rating with *everyone*.

@jeffreyg You are what you eat?

pushing doesn't do shit for the shadows:

There are techniques that will gain 1/3 to 1/2 stop in the shadows without blowing the highlights, but they take extra time and require high dilution developer.

Every one should have a tractor in the front yard. The vast empty sky really adds a lot of atmosphere...great work.

 

[NB23]

Too bad I didn’t have my XPAN. The pano view was crazy. Check this, the rock in the mist was on the right of the scene. All taken at the same moment.
50 or 90mm, can’t remember.
I had to cut. Shame.

Some times less is more, I think the man and dog would get lost in the picture if wider.....but still would make an epic landscape.

Wanted to share mostly because I finally got my rinse right and didn't leave water/mineral spots. One extra distilled water rinse and only a drop of photoflo in the second (final) distilled water rinse, and no squeegeeing.

Leica M3 and, I think, an orange filter.
tmax 100, xtol full strength.

Side note, at 1 or 2 drops of photoflo per 2 rolls of film -- 20 drops per ml, 200ml of photoflo in the bottle... that's a couple thousand development sessions for that stuff. That crap is potent.

Wish I had a long lens with me that day. The little person the suitcase casting a shadow was kind of special, but all I had were the 35 and 50.
