Usually, we would go out with 35mm and push Tri-X to 1600 or 3200. Some of the fields were too dark even for this. At these locations we would sometimes do it the old fashioned way just for the hell of it. We'd take a Speed Graphic with a potato-masher type flash (I had an old Honeywell Strobonar 610) mounted on the side. A couple holders of Tri-X, the camera pre-focused at 12 feet at f11 with the open site sports finder for framing. We'd just position ourselves along sideline in a likely position for action (this involved thinking and knowing the game) and wait for something to happen in front of us. Blam! Strobe firing with leaf-shutter set at 1/250 and lots of depth of field on a big neg. No autofocus or anything. Sharp crispy photos. Two holders=four sheets and we were out of there. They were only going to run one photo so why stick around and waste film. Plus if the framing was loose you could blow those negs up big and crop from there. Great fun and a nice way to make photos. Sometimes the old way is the best. I do own a Speed Graphic that I use as a field camera sometimes. Sometimes I use if for copy work. Sometimes, with a Polaroid back, just for snapshots. They are beautiful machines. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/ - --------------msEA9689DFAE5A6699FE1C5778 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIIKDwYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIKADCCCfwCAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCC B5swggRlMIIDzqADAgECAhB+Z+J08cuTdv4YG+W28xl4MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMIHMMRcw FQYDVQQKEw5WZXJpU2lnbiwgSW5jLjEfMB0GA1UECxMWVmVyaVNpZ24gVHJ1c3QgTmV0d29y azFGMEQGA1UECxM9d3d3LnZlcmlzaWduLmNvbS9yZXBvc2l0b3J5L1JQQSBJbmNvcnAuIEJ5 IFJlZi4sTElBQi5MVEQoYyk5ODFIMEYGA1UEAxM/VmVyaVNpZ24gQ2xhc3MgMSBDQSBJbmRp dmlkdWFsIFN1YnNjcmliZXItUGVyc29uYSBOb3QgVmFsaWRhdGVkMB4XDTk5MDMwOTAwMDAw MFoXDTk5MDUwODIzNTk1OVowggEJMRcwFQYDVQQKEw5WZXJpU2lnbiwgSW5jLjEfMB0GA1UE CxMWVmVyaVNpZ24gVHJ1c3QgTmV0d29yazFGMEQGA1UECxM9d3d3LnZlcmlzaWduLmNvbS9y ZXBvc2l0b3J5L1JQQSBJbmNvcnAuIGJ5IFJlZi4sTElBQi5MVEQoYyk5ODEeMBwGA1UECxMV UGVyc29uYSBOb3QgVmFsaWRhdGVkMSYwJAYDVQQLEx1EaWdpdGFsIElEIENsYXNzIDEgLSBO ZXRzY2FwZTEVMBMGA1UEAxQMQ2FybCBTb2NvbG93MSYwJAYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhdjc29jb2xv d0BtaWNyb3NlcnZlLm5ldDCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAwEmWx5W901kb +lp7Ka14oO3tZXsoLf/+uJN5TyCSsNzhVIfs8NdQ2uMplOsIMYS2E0MQe/Y1zcSD46hcOG2M GGcF/5mMX6Ghzt3BocJP5+wBp1eloIBxmRdznIdvi9TYdQeFs2JBz3gnQbDacMX6S6tK0KOI hGU6IXV+ed6oEmUCAwEAAaOCAQYwggECMAkGA1UdEwQCMAAwgawGA1UdIASBpDCBoTCBngYL YIZIAYb4RQEHAQEwgY4wKAYIKwYBBQUHAgEWHGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnZlcmlzaWduLmNvbS9D UFMwYgYIKwYBBQUHAgIwVjAVFg5WZXJpU2lnbiwgSW5jLjADAgEBGj1WZXJpU2lnbidzIENQ UyBpbmNvcnAuIGJ5IHJlZmVyZW5jZSBsaWFiLiBsdGQuIChjKTk3IFZlcmlTaWduMBEGCWCG SAGG+EIBAQQEAwIHgDAzBgNVHR8ELDAqMCigJqAkhiJodHRwOi8vY3JsLnZlcmlzaWduLmNv bS9jbGFzczEuY3JsMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBAEwy6KUGTKgdNIjftSUXFWmDvWZQu24D 5jT1DqUqTEfvd94bWo8vPDDor3eOo2PQzugMmy5jFqtgintWj69cUmOIpEes+5OMmulW7fml lR4SJkg3LSCMM7KjLEXGBlhVq1b50Oqt+mJKaNI18faTqYNiZm46hFS+tZWoskKIK4hdMIID LjCCApegAwIBAgIRANJ2Lo0UDD19sqglXa/uDXUwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQECBQAwXzELMAkGA1UE BhMCVVMxFzAVBgNVBAoTDlZlcmlTaWduLCBJbmMuMTcwNQYDVQQLEy5DbGFzcyAxIFB1Ymxp YyBQcmltYXJ5IENlcnRpZmljYXRpb24gQXV0aG9yaXR5MB4XDTk4MDUxMjAwMDAwMFoXDTA4 MDUxMjIzNTk1OVowgcwxFzAVBgNVBAoTDlZlcmlTaWduLCBJbmMuMR8wHQYDVQQLExZWZXJp U2lnbiBUcnVzdCBOZXR3b3JrMUYwRAYDVQQLEz13d3cudmVyaXNpZ24uY29tL3JlcG9zaXRv cnkvUlBBIEluY29ycC4gQnkgUmVmLixMSUFCLkxURChjKTk4MUgwRgYDVQQDEz9WZXJpU2ln biBDbGFzcyAxIENBIEluZGl2aWR1YWwgU3Vic2NyaWJlci1QZXJzb25hIE5vdCBWYWxpZGF0 ZWQwgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBALtaRIoEFrtV/QN6ii2UTxV4NrgNSrJv nFS/vOh3Kp258Gi7ldkxQXB6gUu5SBNWLccI4YRCq8CikqtEXKpC8IIOAukv+8I7u77JJwpd trA2QjO1blSIT4dKvxna+RXoD4e2HOPMxpqOf2okkuP84GW6p7F+78nbN2rISsgJBuSZAgMB AAGjfDB6MBEGCWCGSAGG+EIBAQQEAwIBBjBHBgNVHSAEQDA+MDwGC2CGSAGG+EUBBwEBMC0w KwYIKwYBBQUHAgEWH3d3dy52ZXJpc2lnbi5jb20vcmVwb3NpdG9yeS9SUEEwDwYDVR0TBAgw BgEB/wIBADALBgNVHQ8EBAMCAQYwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQECBQADgYEAiLg3O93alDcAraqf4YEB cR6Sam0v9vGd08pkONwbmAwHhluFFWoPuUmFpJXxF31ntH8tLN2aQp7DPrSOquULBt7yVir6 M8e+GddTTMO9yOMXtaRJQmPswqYXD11YGkk8kFxVo2UgAP0YIOVfgqaxqJLFWGrBjQM868PN BaKQrm4xggI8MIICOAIBATCB4TCBzDEXMBUGA1UEChMOVmVyaVNpZ24sIEluYy4xHzAdBgNV BAsTFlZlcmlTaWduIFRydXN0IE5ldHdvcmsxRjBEBgNVBAsTPXd3dy52ZXJpc2lnbi5jb20v cmVwb3NpdG9yeS9SUEEgSW5jb3JwLiBCeSBSZWYuLExJQUIuTFREKGMpOTgxSDBGBgNVBAMT P1ZlcmlTaWduIENsYXNzIDEgQ0EgSW5kaXZpZHVhbCBTdWJzY3JpYmVyLVBlcnNvbmEgTm90 IFZhbGlkYXRlZAIQfmfidPHLk3b+GBvltvMZeDAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoIGxMBgGCSqGSIb3DQEJ AzELBgkqhkiG9w0BBwEwHAYJKoZIhvcNAQkFMQ8XDTk5MDMwOTE5MTA0OVowIwYJKoZIhvcN AQkEMRYEFO3jf67U/OfApoi8u7LcOT3HpYQcMFIGCSqGSIb3DQEJDzFFMEMwCgYIKoZIhvcN AwcwDgYIKoZIhvcNAwICAgCAMAcGBSsOAwIHMA0GCCqGSIb3DQMCAgFAMA0GCCqGSIb3DQMC AgEoMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUABIGAfLvRRkmYUvyrvhkS9wg+qi4zS67wsbE8M+oN+RRblyhO mqdsRVkSIU/uukDOfkour9V36gSAWi2QgWcG4FlwNeI6+pyPqXRd2e3Sz/DKkTbE3MRLGGRp cJWa/ybAq+BB0ick5oYC6J1+xkc7L453fwjQtCuzqR3dGoT0DJRgAqs= - --------------msEA9689DFAE5A6699FE1C5778--
