WIndy windy

The negatives from my last shoot show a lot of camera movement. The exposures were 10 and 15 seconds and the big camera really took the wind from the Bay blurring the shots. I'll have to go do this all again on a calm night. Otherwise the negatives look good.

Evening shoot

The wife went out with the girls and I had some free time on my hands. So what to do...

I thought of going to darkroom to make contacts of the last negatives and maybe few prints also. The idea was good, but execution sucked. I was in front of the darkroom 7:45 and it closes at 8.

Lucky I had my camera in the trunk so I drove to Treasure Island between San Francisco and Oakland to take few shots of San Francisco in the sunset. I arrived a bit late and the evening was getting dark. I took two shots, both with long exposure (10 sec and 15 sec). Not sure how they will turn out since it was quite windy and the Graflex is quite big and catches a lot of wind. My tripod is sturdy for SLR, but a tad light for the Graflex and I fear the pictures are shaken. Well, I'll see once I get the films processed.
