Tide Line Test III
A power walker following the tidal edge.
Testing the Pentax Super ME continues, with expired film that is a bit rough around the edges.
I’m finding it hard to choose between the monochrome version and the colour.
One minute its the colour, the next its black and white.
Tide Line Test
The second roll of film that I used to test the Pentax ME Super was Kodak Royal Gold 400 that expired in about January 2004. I shot it at ISO 200 to compensate for the loss of sensitivity. Probably I could have shot it at ISO 100 with better results, indicated not only by these images being a bit underexposed, and by some that I adjusted the exposure by another stop and got better results. I have a few more rolls, so it is good to sort this out!
If I turned around from this location and looked southeast I would see the storm drain. The sun was just rising hence the golden cast over everything.

Goose Stubble Revisited
A recent post of mine, Goose Stubble, elicited a conversation in the comments section about how this image could be improved. Lynn Wohlers (bluebrightly) suggested:
“You could try cropping even more off the top, making them even higher in the frame, and maybe cropping a bit from the left, even taking half the first goose out, which would echo the last one on the other side, if you get what I mean.”
So here are a few variations on her suggestions. Above is a different image, with the pumpkin field along the top, and a light crop to both sides to get some symmetry with the marginal geese (they are better arranged for this purpose than in the previous image I posted).
Below is the image I posted before.
Next is the original image without any crops other than those done when framing the shot (the viewfinder on this camera shows about 90% x 92% coverage, so things cropped out when framing, can reappear, depending on scanning margins and other variables).
