I like the composition of this one better. In the other, it took me a minute before I figured out what the box of ammunition was.

Glad to see you are doing killer photos again! What pistol is that? Looks interesting.

Dreyse M1907 is my guess.

Good eye. Belonged to my father, he picked it up from a German POW. I pulled the firing pin after the last time I used it at a range. When it didn't jam it went full auto. Nasty looking thing though.

Well, you gave most of it away in your tags. It does have a distinctively brutish look to it though.

Incidentally, I've been away from here often enough that I only recently noticed that whole ordeal with your house, so here's a belated "Holy crap dude!" over that. Glad everyone made it out...unless I missed something.

We got everything out, just lost stuff. Thanks.

 urocyon got it right in one.

is X-Ray film light sensitive?

It's similar to regular film, higher contrast and it's orthochromatic where as the normal black and white film used in photography is panchromatic. I'm rating this x-ray film at about 80 iso.
I thought I'd give it a try because regular film for 8x10 well over $4 a sheet. This stuff is about 60 cents a sheet.

Neat, it's really lovely. Makes me miss my 4x5 a bit.

And where can I get this lovely stuff for only $0.60 a sheet? I thought it was getting harder to find with everyone switching to digital X-Rays now? Also thought it was all being scrapped chemically for silver content?

Perhaps I need to make a huge cardboard pinhole camera, and do some outdoor landscape (not meaning orientation here) shots.

Lastly, explain panchromatic vs orthochromatic. As I am unfamilliar with that last word.

I get most of mine from ZZ medical, they’ll have sales on short date 8x10 and others occasionally.
Basically, orthochromatic is not red sensitive, panchromatic is. You can develop ortho under a red safelight.

Looks like kitty is done getting loaded! =^^=

Full auto on the pistol? Sounds like a worn / broken sear...

This so goes with Tate Wolf!

made me smile...

Glad to see you playing in your darkroom again!

Thanks, I've got quite a bit of re-learning to do.
