Roll 15: Carson City, Nevada

This roll was shot on my Nikon FM2 with Kodak Ektar 100, 35mm film.  My subject:   Carson City, the capital of Nevada. I was out and about the other day near the Governor’s mansion in the old, historical district.   Nevada is a unique place in that the Governor’s mansion has a private residence but…

Target Beach to Silica Cove

Most of the Beecroft Peninsula is a defence force training area and naval gunnery range used during the week for live firing exercises. At the weekend the public is permitted to access the isolated beaches and headlands only along clearly defined trails to avoid unexploded ordinance. Most of the peninsulais off limits. On a recent…

Week #6 – Birthday Boy

For week #6 I decided on the simplest idea.  It was my youngest’s 3rd birthday, and so I decided it would be the best idea to get a photo of him.  The hardest part was getting him to sit still for the photo.  As you know, shooting a large format camera requires patience, and precision.…

Week 11- Canon Prima Super 120 & Portra 400

For week 11 I used my Canon Prima 120 and shot some portra 400 on a farm park. Me and Hannah has spotted that the weather was supposed to be good by around 1pm despite it being fairly cloudy all morning we went out with the plan to get to this place by about 1.…

Rolls 12 and 13 at the University of Washington

For the past several years I made it a point to walk along Portland’s waterfront under the Sakura cherry trees. The bloom season is very short but during that time the trees make quite a show. They attract photographers day and night and I am just one of many. I try to visit the trees…

2014 Week 13 – 1976 Pentax 6×7 MU

  One of my favorite medium format cameras got the nod this week, the Pentax 6×7 Mirror-Up SLR beast! *(Disclaimer… ALL of my medium formats happen to be “one of my favorite”… but I digress). 🙂 I picked up this system (frame, two lenses, hood, grip, etc.) some time ago and is one of the few…

Roll 11, week 11_ Kodak Duaflex II

It seems I am using this camera for the second time this year when I had planned not to repeat a camera during the 52 rolls/weeks project, but it was easy to carry while out for one of my walks in Graham Oaks Nature Park in Wilsonville, Oregon. Loaded with Kodak TMY 400 and again…

Roll 9, week 9_ Brownie Hawkeye

I’ve been wanting a little Brownie Hawkeye for some time. My Mom had this camera in the 50’s and I actually thought I had her camera on my shelf and when I discovered I didn’t I went to E-bay and found a gem, still in the original box with all the attachments and usable flash…

Week 13, The Trees

I had planned to do a home-brew club meeting and brewery tour this week, but life got in the way.  So I decided to try some different shooting of the trees that surround me.  I took my Olympus OM-2n with a Zuiko 35-105mm/3.5-4.5 lens.  It has a ‘Close focus’ option, which is kind of a…

Roll 14: Oreo Cows

There is a ranch near our house that has “Oreo Cows.”   Of course, this is not their real name but it is what my family calls them every time we drive by the pastures of black and white cattle.   I believe the technical breed name is “Belted Galloway” but that is totally boring…
