I went to the old Steam Plant south of the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. Its no longer in operation, but you can walk around among the old machinery once a month. Visually, its a treat. Wonderful and almost free way to spend the morning.
This first shot here has a shallow DOF because I didn’t know we were allowed to bring tripods, which had been banned in the past. Also, I had mistakenly brought ISO 100 film, instead of ISO400. I ended up finding things to put the camera on and pray my hands were steady. If not for these reasons, I would have used a smaller aperture.
The other 2 shots are from a business which sells rusty ornamental garden sculptures. Can’t say I’d buy one, but it was a fantastic place to shoot stereo. In many instances, the visual jumble of lines of rusty metal did a great job of demonstrating how a 2D photo made it hard to pick out the form of objects, but in stereo, you see them immediately. That day, it was sunny enough that I didn’t need a tripod.
I shot these with a Sputnik.
