Ok, here are some prints from way back in college, around '94-'95. These were for class at the time and we weren't allowed to do any dodging or burning (pre-photoshop!). Everything was printed on graded paper with no filters. All contrast had to be determined with exposure using the zone system and neg development times. Phone pics of these don't do true justice.
I'll dig out some of my journalism stuff if I get a chance later today.

This has been a great thread, I haven't thought about these in a long time. I miss the darkroom!!
I took photography in high school. I was one of last students to take they stopped offering it after I graduated in 03. I actually stumbled upon all my developing equipment in the garage when we cleaning it up this summer. I should have grabbed a picture. Sadly I ended up throwing it all away after a week posting it for free online. I still have my SLR 's and all my lenses. I still use them every now and then. Thre is a place about 30 minutes away that still develops film.

Here's one I took in high school. It's of a liquid amber tree in our backyard that just started leafing out after winter. I thought I was really artsy back then lol

This one I took of my daughter last year with my wife's new horse.

Both were taken with the camera on the right a little over 20 years apart.

I think your first leopard shot was your best. The second is pretty darned good too!

"Unimpressed" is classic. I laughed and laughed.

Backyard of my last house



From My Daughters house.



Where I sometimes collect water. Except when Dorothy Hamill is ice skating there :)

Thank you! The first leopard was my phone screen saver for the last few years... and then I started reefing in June.

And now it's a close up of a Duncan. I have been turned. :)

Hmmm no fish or coral :face-with-spiral-eyes:

Here are a few shots I’ve taken—I tend to favor macro shots.

No shame fish/coral plug— If you want to see some of the coral/fish pics I’ve taken, I have a couple threads on this forum.
