Rock Collection (GSB)

by Paul Talbot

The label on the back says, in part, R16 (Canada) / 5, but also says it was taken on the University of Texas campus on July 1, 2003.  Apparently I had some film to use up after a 2003 trip to Canada.  I usually think of GSB as meaning Graduate School of Business in the context of UT – Austin, but that doesn’t jive with my memory of which building had this rock collection outside it.

Jets

by Paul Talbot

Shot at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas.  It seemed like a good opportunity for a “through the window” MF3D image.  I used these jets for shooting test rolls in Sputniks that were, to one extent or another, “fixed up” for sale via RMM.  I don’t recall whether this was from such a test roll or something I shot just for fun.  Might or might not even have been a Sputnik.

Stratosphere Tower Observation Deck, Las Vegas

by Jim Harp

Photographed with a TL-120 with Vivitar 285-H fill flash. One minute at f22. It wasn’t possible to shoot a hyper of the view here so I wanted to figure out some way to get an interesting stereoscopic image, fortunately it was possible to get the foreground and background to both expose well. The flash froze a few ghosts within the blur.

Zach Horton A34 Submission

by Zach Horton

I know many/most of you from the Dragon Folio, but this is my first submission in Folio A.  I’m happy to be here with you all! I’ve submitted four completely unrelated slides…

Jess and Jon: Pond

This was candid shot I snapped while visiting my sister and her husband in New Hampshire toward the end of the winter. They took a moment to escape our full family and contemplate their favorite pond together. They didn’t know I took this until I presented a slide to them as a gift. This is an M-Chrome, so I could afford to give a copy away and keep a copy for myself!

Camera: Mercury Stereo 12
Lens: Mamiya 65mm
Film: 65mm 250D cine film (IMAX)

Atom Smasher “Love You”

This is the ruined remains of the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, which pushed the boundaries of atomic energy research in the 1940s. The Mamiya 55mm lens is one of my favorites.

Lens: Mamiya 55mm

Cranes

I hope this hyper blows your mind!  Be warned!  The main subject here is mounted perfectly legally, but by the background it exceeds normal on-film deviation, and the general level of complexity of this image can really confuse the brain. Some people can’t fuse this comfortably, but it is one of my recent favorites.  This was shot on the special BW IMAX film that Kodak made for the film Oppenheimer. The production gifted me the remaining stock.  It’s a joy to work with, and makes excellent M-Chromes, which is of course its purpose: to be contact printed into prints for cinematic exhibition. Only in writing this post have I realized that I submitted my first version of this slide, with an open mask. I later created another copy and masked it to a shorter vertical, which really helps. Oops- I put the older version into the folio!  Oh well.

Camera: Rollei 6006
Lens: 150mm
Film: 65mm Double-X cine film (IMAX)

 

Magic Bus

This was just a casual snap on my way to work one day, but my partner Vicky and I just love the color in this one (which I can’t seem to replicate in the digital scan). This is shot on Kodak’s amazing 500T cinema film, in 65mm IMAX form, using one of my favorite MF3D lenses, the Super Angulon 47mm. This is another M-Chrome.

COVID Road Trip #2 – The 2nd Leg Of The North American Loop Tour

by Steven Lederman

I’m keeping my loop a33 images in the folio for loop a34, as they weren’t seen due to the folio being called home early by John Thurston. This is also to keep the folio moving in a timely fashion. I also don’t have anything new mounted yet!

Here’s the description from loop a33:
My second Stateside road trip after COVID was in April of 2022; “Old Car City” in White, Georgia. 4700 vehicles from 1918 to 1972 slowly being reclaimed by nature. It’s well-documented on YouTube.
“Twitter Barn” – Ever wonder where Elon Mollusk got the inspiration for his inventive re-naming of the Twitter platform? It was from this very barn, somewhere near the border of two States, on the way down to Georgia. TL-120-55, and some expired colour film. Could have been Provia 100F.
“Old Car City – Ford Detail” – I think this is an emblematic example of my work. Sputnik, Superpan 200.
“’50 Buick OCC” – I love the 1950 Buick. GM only made that grill style for one year. Sputnik, Superpan 200.
“’50 Buick Old Car City, GA” – A different 1950 Buick. Shallow depth of field, scratch on the film. Sputnik, Superpan 200.
