I've known her since high school...

You do the math...




That was taken by Brian (Cedarkerf) durin the Buckley Log Show. He caught me right at the best possible moment.

One of my finer moments.

Bad pics

An old freind followed me around this season taking pics at all the shows and finaly gave me the film (dozens of rolls) to get developed. Every last pic, hundreds of them did not turn out. I just got them back this afternoon. dammit anyway. here I am thinkin about something, probably beer.

Beer

Yup that would be a Beer, Get over it, Thats why I bring Big D

 

[Rotax Robert]

Interview time

being asked a bunch of stupid questions, like do you think about beer when your cutting ?

 

[Rotax Robert]

Unloading

Another stupid question, "is the saw very heavy? Nope I say, just takes 3 men to hold her down"

 

[Rotax Robert]

The cut

Here I am cutting and thinking about beer. multi tasking I believe they call it.

 

[Rotax Robert]

pic quality

Most, I mean all but a few of the pics look like this. friggin hundreds of them.

 

[rumination]

That looks like light exposure or x-ray exposure. Either the film got zapped repeatedly in an airport somewhere, or the folks that developed the film screwed up and accidentally exposed the negatives to light before developing. I'm guessing the latter. I worked at a custom black and white photo lab many years ago and this would happen every once in a blue moon. When it did happen we would always give the customers free film and free developing/printing in compensation.


Edit: the other possibility is that your friend's camera has a light leak. Ask him if he is still having this problem.

 

[Rotax Robert]

I would'nt think that would happen to 15 to 20 rolls. I watched them start putting the film rolls in the machine befor I even left the store.

 

[rumination]

There is the possibility that the machine was not properly sealed. We always developed film by hand, so I'm not sure how those automated machines work. And I edited my first post to note that your friend's camera might also have a light leak.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, that sucks.

 

[SkwerI]

Probably could have bought a decent digital camera for less than the cost of all that film. No more developing, just plug it into the computer and move the pictures over. Sorry you lost all those pics R.

 

[Frans]

It is good to keep a 35mm camera on hand with film. A regular picture with negatives is the only type of photo allowed in a court of law

 

[Magnus]

Not many develop manually here anymore and sometimes the not so new roll's seem to need a bit of know how and feeling when developing.

I had this happen to me once, found a old roll and the guy asked me to get it developed manually. I found a photo club here and asked for help.

Got back very nice pic's!

Not to derail this underailable thread... LMAO...

Yes Jeff... she is a licensed fishing guide here in Washington...

www.thefishingoddess.com

She no longer is in the guiding business... she does take out some faithful long time clients every year. You would not belivev how she can row a drift boat. She had her husband and I in the boat once and she kept us in the current perfectly while pluggin' for Steelhead. That would be like rowing a drift boat with 2 linebackers in it.

She's a pretty cool chick. Know her and her husband a long time.

...now back to the Rotax Robert thread...

 

[Rotax Robert]

Probably could have bought a decent digital camera for less than the cost of all that film. No more developing, just plug it into the computer and move the pictures over. Sorry you lost all those pics R.

Remember, I said old freind, "Old bill on the hill as mention in prior posts" turned 70 last weekend and he has this old slr camera (think I said that right) and for its day was probably a good one. He has always told me that it would take pics like no other and its to bad they don't make this kinda quality into todays cameras...you know the story. Anyway, since I went digital I think I am going to give him my near NIB canon eos rebel 35mm if he does'nt want to go digital. He ment well and is a true freind so it is hard to get mad about it although I am dissapointed in losing a seasons worth of history.

No matter though, now I can just make the stories up sittin around the campfire and when someone calls BS on me I'll just say proove it, thats the way I remember it "aint that right old bill". Anyway I still have a ton of VHS video to transfer and will get it posted as time permits.

I guess that just gives me more reason to ask MB if I can start a Predator 2008 thread and we'll do it all again starting next spring.

Thanks for letting me share what I do with all you tree killers. I mean climbers.
All the best to all of you.
