Last week, missiles; this week, women tasting wine. Last night I shot the
annual fund-raiser held by my wife's Business & Professional Women organization
to fund their scholarship program. Fun, I got to drink wine, I got to shoot my
OM, and I made many points with the wife. I recommend, when photographing
groups of strangers, that you get several glasses of wine down them first - it
makes things so much easier.
All shot with an OM-4T/Bounce Grip 2/T32 set on Fuji NPH and Press 400, with
Zuiko 85/2 and a 50/1.4 silver-nose. Scanned at time of processing by ABC
Photo ($12.00 US per roll and it saved me the tedium of scanning 120+ frames).
The quick and dirty Photoshop automated album is at:

fun shots, and everyone had a good time. That is the newly crowned Miss
Arlington with the tiara.
I lost my grip cord so I turned the BG2 around to the left side of the camera
which allowed me to hold the Winder 2 grip directly to trip the shutter
release. That requires swiveling the T32 180 degrees to point forward. Works
like a charm.
I also tried shooting some with my Minolta Dimage 7 digicam. That was a dismal
failure. The built-in flash is far too weak, and the autofocus did a terrible
job in the dim light. It was a real pleasure to raise the OM to my eye and
enjoy the bright viewfinder after suffering terrible EVF on the digicam.
