Jim Harp Self Portrait

by Jim Harp

Shot with a Sputnik  Ilford Pan-F processed by DR-5  Dublin 2006
This was a three to four minute exposure.   You have to look for my face in here, it’s floating in space just to the left of the base of the statue.   I opened the shutter with a locking cable release, walked up to the statue and held a Vivitar 285H pointed at my face at arm’s length and fired it.

  • Seattle – August Sunset
    TL120 on tripod, Provia 400X ½ second at f/22
    Taken August 2009, this was a candid shot. I noticed this guy was very still and thought it would be interesting to contrast that with people moving in the background. I use a Hasselblad waist level finder, so it’s very easy to take pictures unobtrusively.
  • Terminator
    TL120 with half power Vivitar 285H flash, handheld, Provia 400X 1/60 @ f/22
    This is the skeleton of a T-800 Terminator Cyborg. Furtunately for me he was in standby mode when I encountered him at the Univeral Studios Hollywood gift shop in August 2008. I go the sense that he was romantically interested in my TL120.
  • Jim and Maureen in the Stocks, Williamsburg VA
    TL120 on tripod, Vivitar 285H flash, 1/4 @ f/22, DR5 processed Illford Pan F
    A can’t miss photo-op at Williamsburg, VA. My daughter Erica was kind enough to trip the shutter after I set the shot up. I rated the Pan-F at ISO 25 as per DR5s suggestion.
  • Wonder Wheel, Coney Island
    TL120 on a tripod Provia 400X 1/250 @ f/22
    I took this prior to the Mermaid Parade, June 2008
