So in the non digital thread, lynx made a point about discussing different film types, formats and developing, so -

What is your favourite combination of -
Format, film, developer.fixer

and if you have access to the rest - paper, enlarger/scanner etc

Sam - nice shots, I haven't tried delta 100 before but now I think I'll give it a go. What was it developed in?

If I had the cash...........

Having your hobbies written on your gravestone must be a win!

what did the driver do?

that is insane

I have always found this amazing - I'd love to try. Whenever I'm on holiday my main entertainment is swimming as deep as possible - but this is something else.

So, how long can you hold your breath? My max is 2:30.

I posted earlier that I received a voigtlander meidum format camera, however I have just discovered that the lense does not seem to fire accurately at the speeds marked.
Is it possible to get it serviced, or if not timed so I can mark new shutter speeds on it?

+1 on don't buy the SE draft lite.
I bought it and have since realised that so much will need replacing. I like riding it, just know that I could have got a much better deal with somthing else.

My fastest ever was 44mph downhill on my old geared mountain bike - I was almost blind as the wind blew my eyes into my brain.
On my fixed I guess on the flat at 39kph so thats what, a little under 25mph? Only for short distances though.

If you listen to great music and are careful to educate yourself into how music is written, it is pretty hard to lose interest. I go through phases when I overlisten to certain artists and get sick of them, but if the music is good then I come back to it.
I now listen to compilations so that don't have this problem.

I find that a head movement to the rear plus a very slight movement is often enough to get drivers to yield. I have even had full eye contact interpreted as aggression by an anonymous white van driver!
Although I haven't had an issue with it, there is a fine for using zebra crossing on your bike but as so many people break the rules I think the police turn a blind eye to it. I prefer the road though as the zebra crossings take so much time - if I go on the road I can save up to 15 minutes on my commute, mostly due to the fact that nobody stops at zebras here.

I was more worried about the fact that whilst I do have a right to cycle on certain stretches of the road, there are places that are exceptionally dangerous to do so.
I have a right to use the turn lane but no matter how assertively you ride it doesn't hide the fact that I am crossing three lanes of traffic, a lot of which is travelling at much higher speeds than me.
When going by car here, you really have to force cars to make space for you to change lane as the drivers are so inconsiderate that they won't let you in unless you physically move into their space. On a bike it is ok on slow roads, but when that traffic is going 20mph faster than you, getting a car to give you that space is not so easy!

Anyway, I have decided to avoid that particular junction now as the road surface has recently disintegrated due to flood waters and some bright spark laying 3cm of asphalt on top of cobbles!

It's probably not reading your rate correctly, but it could also depend on your max calculation too.
I remember having a readout of 240 for about 10 minutes until I undid the strap and readjusted it.

This really is an epic fail: a British guy has been arrested in Thai Land, being charged with bruning inciting people to burn down 'Central World' the massive shopping centre in Bangkok that got sburned down by retreating redshirt supposrters last week. He is claiming it is a fit up and he is innocent and he is being used as a scapegoat... and then this video srufaced

We should send all our scum on holiday to bangkok and see how many come back. Would do us all a service

I once read that preserving endangered animals was pointless and that we should try to preserve the variety in the gene pool rather than picking a rare animal and saving that. If an animal has many shared genes then it isn't worth saving but if it has no close cousins and therefore a number of unique genes then it is worth it.
The article is called 'so much to save' from a proficiency in English book but was originally published in the economist. Can't find a copy online apart from here, but you have to sign up for a trial, which I won't do.

Thanks guys - not quite sure why 'pzdr' was translated as 'kisses' as it is an abbreviated form of 'regards'
Musili is have to - so should be translated as drivers have to acknowledge your presence.

Yesterday I tried to be polite and the woman driving spent the next km trying to race me to the next set of traffic lights only for me to pass her. Somehow my passing her really made her feel inadequate!

Not sure about in London as I have only cycled in the westcountry, but here having a right to something and actually being able to do it are two different things. I am trying to be as assertive as possible here to get drivers used to cyclists, but sometimes I have to accept that safety is more important. Before I came here I think I had seen only one or two traffic accidents, now I see one about every other day!

It is not really good enough quality to see unfortunately - too much shadow in the lane I am talking about(Interestingly if you go along the polish-german/czech border you can see an immediate change in quality!)

Oh and of course it is upside down!

This one is better

googlemap coming in bit.
Unfortunately the speed of the drivers in the first instance is too high to join the stream - usually between 65-75kph(the limit is 50 and I can manage about 40 tops)
In the second I can push in but it pisses off the driver really bad, even if they can see the traffic up ahead!

Ok, I live in Poland so these diagrams are the opposite from in the uk, but I guess the theory is the same.
Generally I am ok filtering but there are a few junctions where I hold back as I am unsure of the safest filtering method.

The first I want to turn semi left across the tram lines. Usually I go straight ahead so I don't have to cut across three lanes, but it makes my journey longer and I ride on a more dangerous road. Obviously I need the left lane, but should I filter to the right of cars in this lane, or the left. Position A or B? Or should I make my journey longer to avoid cutting through 3 lanes?
The second is a really bad road where a tram could come into the overtaking lane forcing traffic to wait, or cut in to the right lane(and me as once happened) Therefor I avoid point A. All cyclists seem to filter at point D although this clearly is the wrong lane. For me though B is risky as the drivers at this juction never see you and try to overtake on the inside when you want to pull in and C is hard as there is limited space.

Sorry if this isn't very clear I should try to take a photo next time I am there

when my bike gets nicked I think I might grow a pair

so wish I had the balls to do that

We are on a flood warning, so I'm waiting until tomorrow so I can go check out the damage on my bike!

When there is clearly an upright pole right next to the bike.............speechless
