Dolomites

by Philip Steinman

Picnic Table Waterfall

In July of 2014, my wife and I trail ran and trekked the Dolomites in the Italian Alps. There is a lot to see here and we opted to take a guided running tour with holomites.com. After a brief rest at this picnic table, we made an easy climb to the base of the falls.

The Cross

This view is an inspired resting place where views of the mountains and summer wild flowers surround you in every direction. After my cha-cha shot, I put my camera back in my Osprey Rev 6 hydration pack and ran to catch up.

Giant Leaves

While running along the river bank I was enamored with the giant leaves you see here. If you were to stand in the bunch, you’d be knee deep more in water, and single leaf would provide a good hat from the sun.

Dolomite Garden

I ran by many summer gardens in the ski town, but this one made me stop, take out my camera for a cha-cha shot. If you look closely at the background you can see a car on the road and few cable cars in different positions in the left and right images 🙂

All images were made with a Fuji GA645w using Provia 100F film.

The Outer Defenses, Kingston Ontario

by Timo

OuterDefenses

This image is of 3 of  the “Martello” towers which are part of the Fort Henry complex in Kingston, Ontario. These towers date back to the War of 1812.

This image is the third MF image I ever shot. It was my test reel of my first Sputnik camera. The day was so bright and clear that it was almost impossible to take a bad image. This shot, taken hand held, sold me on MF. The light that came from the clear sky was so bright that even full shadow was well illuminated.

Spin the light fantastic

by Dale Walsh

WA095Spin the light fantastic is a variation of the expression “trip the light fantastic”.  It comes from the poetry of the English writer John Milton. He is referring to someone dancing nimbly which I thought fits this image well as the lights seem to be dancing in the night sky.

Abandoned House, Mussoorie India

by Jim Harp

Scan000110This was the view from the Plaza hotel in Mussoorie India.   It must have been a gorgeous residence at some point.  You can see that someone is living there, or at least hanging some laundry up to dry.   Mussoorie is in Northern India at the foothills of the Himilayas.

Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.   I used a pod-support on a deck railing.   I think it was 1/125 @f16.

“Mermaid Parade – Twin Pillows”

by Jim Harp

Scan000111Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop with a Vivitar 285H with a diffusor for fill-flash.  I believe it was f16 @ 1/125.   The TL-120 seems to do fine with flash sync at 1/125 even though 3D World only claimed 1/30.

It was bright sunny day for the 2014 Mermaid Parade, fill-flash saved lots of my shots from excessive shadow detail.

For me fill-flash is like that commercial for hot-sauce:   “I put that $#*& on everything!”

Taj Mahal Close

by Jim Harp

Scan000109The Taj Mahal is often seen just in the classic full view, but there’s quite a lot to look at when you get closer in.   MF3D is really the only medium that can convey the richness of all the marble inlays and carving.

This was photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.  I believe it was 1/250 @f16.  No tripods are allowed at the Taj unless major fees are paid, so this was shot with the camera hanging around my neck using a Hasselblad waist level finder and a cable release.   October 2010.

The TL-120 attracted a lot of attention in India, at times I was mobbed with people wondering what it was.

Metal garden sculptures, and the Steam Plant

by Frank Roberto

    

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.

 

Noodle Delirium

by Paul Shay

Noodle Delirium“Noodle Delirium” was an “ephermeral installation” that was created by the “Collectif ARG – Les Astronautes” and included in the “Unusual Passages” show in Quebec City the summer of 2014. It transformed a discreet anonymous passage into something special that people loved to walk through brushing against the noodles with their hands.

Original slide on Provia 400X taken with a tripod-mounted Heidoscop at 1/8 second at f25 on August 14, 2014.
