my glass i had a brew at: Congregation Alehouse

[Brian Moore]

Long Beach, California. That's the Congregation Alehouse there on the right of the photo. They have a good selection of beers in this place.

I took this shot on the evening of September 30, 2011 with my Olympus XA and Legacy Pro 400 film. I processed the film in Rodinal, 1:100, for 90 minutes.

You've captured the lighting very nicely there Brian and I like the motion blurred car turning right in front. The perspective is just right I think and I like the contrast / grain combination your processing of the film has given. Mind, that scanner bed looks like it might need dusting again!

anally retentive or what
I like it Brian, would be nice in colour
I like the chap walikng and the lighting, v nice!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Pete. Appreciate the comments. (I'll clean the scanner soon too.)

Thanks Hamish. Can't do it in color, though, unless I go back and have another couple of brews then stumble out with color film in my Oly. (Which could happen!)

 

[Darren Bradley]

I concur about the pub. I like that place!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Darren. Sounds like maybe you've quaffed a jar or two there?

 

[Darren Bradley]

Yes, I know and love Long Beach, and spend a fair amount of time there. I mostly hang out at the vintage shops on 4th street. I have friends who own shops there.

Historic shot - the flying saucers over LA finally caught on film!

Funny that the car blurred but the UFOs didn't...

Very nice shot BTW

 

[Paul Lange]

Lovely shot, just clean that bloody scanner!

 

[Brian Moore]

The UFO was hovering, Chris. That's why no blur. Anyway, thank you.

Thank you Paul. Will do!
