A Roll In A Day/A Day In A Roll - Take 3

May 19, 2012, a Saturday like the rest, has marked the 3rd installment of the tradition of shooting a day in a roll.
For those that are unfamiliar with this idea, it is simple.  What you do is take any film camera in your arsenal, and some only have one or two, load it with a fresh (or expired) roll of film, and spend the day shooting that roll, from sunup to sundown, if you can.  Now, I'm not saying it's hard, but it's far from easy.  See, shooting an entire roll in a day is really easy for some, and not for others, but the key to this is to get it to represent how you spent your day.
For me, again, it meant work, then a bit of time afterward.  I should have used a 36exposure roll, but I didn't.  Instead I had a 24 frame roll, and after #25 I was done.  Yes, 25.  Just because you have 24 total frames doesn't mean you can't get 25, 26, or even 27, frames on one roll.

There were more participants this time around then that last two.  As word spreads, more and more shooters get into it!
Whether you're an amateur, new film shooter, new in general, or full, all out pro, anyone can take part!

Originally I wasn't thinking of taking part in this, but I decided, why not?
So I picked up my Canon EOS 750, which was loaded with a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400, from who knows when, and coupled a Helios 44-2 58mm ƒ/2 M42 lens to it. Sure, the M42 needed to be adapted to the camera, but it is a fantastic lens.  Know for its great contrast and colour rendition, plus the swirly bokeh that it can produce, it is a remarkable lens.
Regardless of the camera/lens/film combination, it all comes down to one final thing.  How you use the equipment to create the images that you would like to share.  I do hope that I managed to give everyone something enjoyable to see.
