Yosemite Fall is one of the most popular and well-recognized sights in Yosemite Valley. The image was made from near the Sentinel Bridge. The cameras were 2 Bronica SQAs with 80 mm lenses (normal focal length). I had them on tripods about 15 yards apart. The shutters were synchronized by my tossing a rock in the air and when it hit the ground I and a friend at the other camera released the shutters at the same instant.

Water-Eroded Granite
The location of this image was along Illilouette Creek which is southeast of Yosemite Valley. I was on a several day backpacking trip in the summer of 2009 at the time. There is granite everywhere in Yosemite. Wherever water is running it carves and polishes the granite over hundreds of thousands of years. This image was made with the TL-120 stereo camera.
Fern Spring (Detail)
Fern Spring is located less than 1 mile from the entrance of Yosemite Valley. It is a pool of water about 10 feet across which is constantly flowing because of an underground water source. For this image I used the TL-120 stereo camera. The exposure time was at least 10 seconds.
Base of Cascade Fall
This image was made in 2008. Cascade Fall is just outside of Yosemite Valley. You can see it from Highway 140 as you are driving in to the valley. To make the image I used 2 Bronica SQA cameras with 50mm lenses (wide angle). The cameras were 4 inches apart on a tripod. I can’t remember the exact exposure time, but it was around 10 seconds.
Rugged Cross
Galisteo, NM. Late day with side lighting sun. This scene and the others around this small New MExico town, was a 3D wonderland to me. How many different kinds of fence can you count?

Diana and the Angle Oak
We were on our honeymoon, May 2011. This magnificent tree is near St. Johns Island beach, out of Charleston, S.C. They say it is 400-700 years old and shades/covers over an acre of ground.

Cypress and Lillies
This was taken in October 2011 (I think). I know it was October, because the leaves of the Cypress have this orange color onl7 2-3 weeks of the year. Caddo Lake, named after the Indians, is the only natural lake in Texas.

Driving Miss Dodi
This fellow has four of these old Nash Metros and a bunch of parts. Dodi is our Lab-Black Mouth Cur mix. She is about 10yrs old now. Best pet ever! BTW, Old Yeller was a Black Mouth Cur.

Montreal Lookout – Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. This slide didn’t even seem worth mounting until I thought of trying a panoramic mount. Unfortunately I used my last panoramic mount here.
Coney Island Mermaid with Umbrella
Coney Island Mermaid with Umbrella- Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 and a Vivitar 285H fill-flash with plastic diffusor. The fill flash is an important element in this shot, without it her face would have mostly been in shadow. The Coney Island Mermaid Parade happens on the first Saturday after the Summer Solstice every year and is a wonderful opportunity to get interesting people shots. There are plenty of photographers with interesting rigs who attend, but the TL-120 never fails to attract attention.
Gogarty’s Pub, Dublin
Gogarty’s Pub
This was shot with a Twin Yashica-Mat 124 rig early in the morning since I was in Ireland on business and didn’t have time for picture taking during the day. I had good luck with the shutters on this rig when they were set to one second, so I probably shot this at one second and used spot metering to determine the aperture. Provia 100F pushed one stop.

A Day in the Library?
I’m adding these thumbnails for Frank so we have somewhere to hang comments.
I only see three images in the box, so I hope he didn’t share four with us.
