No, more probably FP3 or FP4 rather than HP3. I didn't have a flash and took this after a countdown from the other photographer, couldn't have times it better. Luckily he was using a slow burn flashbulb.

Electron Microscope (magnifier)


ElectronMicroscope_1974
by D M Bloor, on Flickr

I built this in the school darkroom for my A level Science project in 1974. This is scan of a print I used to illustrate my write up, taken using flash with my Lubitel 2 on Kodak film. This beast did make a good bang and packed a heck of a wallop when I reached out to touch the main electrode having forgotten to ground the 5000V charge
 
Snow fight!

Taken on the Vitosha mountain just outside Sofia in Bulgaria while I was working there for 4 months in early 1970. Andrew on the left, Richard on the right, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the guy in the middle (these 3 were ICL System 4 experts on the team; I was the resident applications expert and team leader, for my sins).Taken on FP4 (not the current Plus version) with my little Werra 1, Tessar 50/2.8 lens. Guessed exposure.

Nevertheless, dmb, the poll has now, finally finished. I think there is enough evidence at this time to point to RaglanSurf as the clear winner, I voted for him!

Should I ever be allowed to conduct this challenge again, I will be more attentive.

This really would have benefited from one of Brian's mega flash shots! I think many of us will still have spots from that particular monster!

That was in my mind too, the forum is a sadder place without him.
