A most excellent day.  I am particularly fond of -27 and -26.  26 blows me
away particularly given the facts that I wanted that shot and you nailed it
and that *I didn't screw it up in processing it!

*Kudos to Hugh- un-metered, he winged it.  We shot side-by-side but he was
shooting Tri-X on an M3 and I was shooting Pan-F on an M6.  My takes will be
up tomorrow.
