Fuji645w60 at the Georgetown Steam Plant

Playing around with the Fuji645 I got.  The steam plant is open every 2nd saturday, and its a bunch of fun to shoot.  Lots of old machinery, and big windows to let light in. I was mostly zone focusing with this camera, and shooting at f/5.6 or f/8, on a tripod, mostly.  Being a shallow…

Week 9: More at the Lake

For week nine, my friend Justin and I went back to Lake Artemisia and shot as we wandered around a bit. I decided to lug my SQAi around for this, and I really couldn’t be happier. I love this silly camera more and more with every roll I put thru it. This roll happened to…

Week 12 – museums & malls

This week I felt like carrying my P6*6 pinhole. Kiddo and I started the week at the Owl’s Head Transportation Museum for their Modelfest. The streak of light is the headlight of a passing steam locomotive. For video of our weekend festivities, check out YouTube Back home, it was too wet for soccer practice. Beth’s…

Roll 17: New Pinhole; New Format

Film: Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 Camera: terraPin Bijou 6X4.5 3D printed pinhole  f/135 The 6X6 square format is nice and all, and I love the large luscious slides (or negatives) it produces, but I also hunger for the compositional challenges of a rectangular format.  I am very keen on my new 6X4.5 version of the terraPin, which I…

Fourteen Concert Photos

  This past week I attended a benefit concert put on to support mental health initiatives. Several bands were playing, a couple of which I already knew and really wanted to hear live. My son plays in one of those bands, so I was able to make arrangements to take photographs. I have been meaning to…

Abandoned Gas Station on Highway 41

A guy at work was trying to sell his film SLRs, and ended up shipping me 3 of them.  For a total of $10.  I just paid shipping. I got a Canon 650, a Rebel and an A2E.   All perfectly capable cameras.  And they all take the same 2CR5 battery. Around the same time, a…

Week 14: Polaroids

ive been a fan of instant film for quite awhile. I always wanted my own Polaroid camera growing up but my family could never afford it and then the company stopped making film. Well, I got ahold of some of the Impossible Project’s stuff and it seems to be to my liking. Their film formula…

Week 14 – Bourbon in color

This week I have more from New Orleans to share with you, specifically something a little bit rare for me:  color, and autofocus.  Bourbon Street was more than a tad overwhelming.  I’m not sure how many rolls I went through just in the space of a few blocks, but one of them was this roll…

Rain is inevitable

There is an is inevitability about Easter, it is going to rain. No matter whether Easter comes early or late, it augurs autumn. In some years the full moon is barely visible, hidden by clouds and inclement weather. Notwithstanding constant showers, on Easter Saturday I was determined to get out, so we checked the rain…

Lucky Thirteen

  I am not a superstitious person, so the thirteenth roll is not giving me the tiniest frisson of fear. Indeed, I got married on the thirteenth 30 years ago; that worked out pretty well. This roll has a variety of stuff on it. I have pulled out just the storm drain photos which is my…
