Lights on the Jetty
This is a time exposure that I made while a fisherman with a lantern walked across the jetty at twilight.
Lights in the Sky
This is a time exposure I made recently during a rainstorm of a jetliner on approach with it’s landing lights illuminated.
Film Noir
When it comes to personal work I have been shooting good old-fashioned analog film a lot lately. Way more than digital. Almost all black and white and all with a variety of antique cameras: medium format, 35mm, and Polaroid. I finally had some time yesterday to scan several weeks worth of negatives and Polaroid prints so for the next week or two I will be posting some of the highlights here for you. Today’s entry was taken with a medium format camera at dusk in the park near where I live.
The Best Camera to Use…
…is any one you can get your hands on when a picture presents itself. In this case – my cell phone.
Tampa Bay Twilight
It’s hard to pass up a nice sunset when you have a camera handy. It’s a subject that never gets old. This was the view from the back yard of one of the homes I was photographing recently.
Mountain Sunset
As I continue to scan some of my old slides to present here in my journal I’ve come to realize that I miss the rich, saturated colors that I could get by deliberately underexposing Ektachrome film. With the right subject matter, a light to moderately underexposed slide looked terrific right out of the camera. No processing software necessary, just shine some light through it and enjoy.
