This is a crop of about two-thirds of a negative I scanned pretty poorly but of which I liked the result. Long-expired Tri-X in Minolta Hi-Matic 7sii; shot in July 2012 but only developed yesterday, in mid-March 2014.

I was on my bicycle, going up the street past my friends W & S's house. They were getting ready to go for a ride on W's motorcycle. This was almost two years ago when they were both recently and very happily retired. That afternoon they planned a ride of about 200 miles. My bike ride was about twenty miles the same afternoon. This was on 1990s-era Tri-X that I developed yesterday in some 2002-era T-Max developer. The camera was my Minolta Hi-Matic 7sii.

The spring equinox is only three hours away; we'll officially be in the spring season then. But the temperature is still below freezing. Days like the one in this picture seem pretty distant. This was two summers ago, late July 2012, but I have only now developed the film. It was Tri-X in my Minolta Hi-Matic 7sii. There is a lot of nice stuff written about the 7sii but I've never really liked mine. The lens is very soft, and especially so at the open apertures I tend to use. The Tri-X was film I bought in the mid- or late 1990s. I've still got a half-dozen rolls of b&w film from that period. Scanned (Epson V700) from the negative, with curves adjustments (and border) in Paint Shop Pro X5.
