Pyro and Stuff

[Sam <3dhacker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I managed to process and convert to slides some of the B&W stereo I took in
Montana and am absolutely amazed at the detail using the Pyro formula. I
have one waterfall shot I took in both B&W as well as color, and there's no
comparison: The color shot pales next to the B&W. I'll put them both in the
next loop for others to judge for themselves.

I've been very disenchanted with my own color shots lately, and the fuji-MS
distaster didn't help. I know some out there really like the Multi-speed
fuli slide film, but for me it will never see the inside of my stereo
camera again! The BIG problem is that you are at the mercy of your lab
regarding processing it at the correct development time for the speed you
shot it. If they're lazy and do it with all there other standard E6 films,
you may end up with underexposed garbage if you rated it higher than ISO
100. Seems to be I tried that dreadfull XP film in the early 80's and had
the same problem. Can't the film manufacturers understand when they design
a push-process film that labs don't WANT to push process?

I missed getting the big Hub Oil plant explosion on stereo unfortunately.
Too bad, I'd been wanting to shoot the original building for years due to
it's picturesque turn-of-the-century  architecture, but there was alway a
new car parked in front of it! When it all blew, it was like an atom bomb
went off, complete with mushroom fire-ball. Kinda hard to plan for that
stuff (gotta match?!)
