I thought that I won't make a "I have a new toy" statement but to make >this story full it would be necessary. >I have a new toy. Or even two. Four days ago I finally got mine MZ-S with >FA24-90. It took me almost two months to buy it in Poland. I needed Polish >invoice so I had to go through a path of pain caused by current Polish >Pentax distributor. But enough about that - I finally have it and I'm really >happy. >At thursday we had a holiday in Poland and I went to my parents for dinner >taking my new camera with me (it's strange that I didn't took to bed with me ><g>). After that a friend invited me to a Apocalyptica concert. Apocalyptica >are couple of cello players from Finland, along with a drummer right now, >that play heavy metal (they started with cello Metallica covers). >I'm not their big fan but I got a free ticket so decided to go. Took the >camera with me as I didn't want to leave it in car and figured out that I >can find some semi-peacefull place that it would be safe in my bag. At the >entrance however there was an unpleasant surprice - I coudn't take the >camera inside and had to leave it at the desk. Fortunatelly my friend was >sitting there so I had someone I could trust the MZ-S. >But soon after the concert started my friend called me and handed me a PHOTO >pass. And there I was from a guy that couldn't bring the camera inside to >someone that had official permission to shot. Having that decided to give a >camera a try. I only had HP5+ 400 with me but on the package there was the >development time for 1600ASA in ID-11 so that's what I had to use. >Universal Music Poland insisted that no photos were taken during the show >except for authorised people and only during the last three songs. I could >enter the space between audience and scene and exposed whole roll from there >which almoust used all my time. How it all turned out can be checked here: >http://www.kajko.wdb.pl/apocalyptica/ >All shots taken with MZ-S + FA24-90, mostly spot metered from face. >The film was developed in ID-11(1+0), 9:30min, 25C. I had to use the high >temperature as it was hot here for almoust the month and that what the room >(or rather bathroom) temperature was and didn't had the idea how to cool the >dev down since it wasn't to be mixed with water. Unfortunatelly it further >boosted the contrast. I scanned everything at work at a bit crappy Agfa >Duoscan but I quite like the result. > >After all it was a really nice experience. > >Thanks for reading, >Maciej >
