This is a TL120 image taken on Provia 100f film. I believe it was shot at f16 and 125th. I just had to get a shot of this fabulous statue on the top of the fountain in the square of Tabor, Czech Republic. We stopped in this historic town for some lunch, and as usual, I was delayed in ordering.

Charles Bridge, Prague
If you go to Prague, you will inevitably find the fine stone bridge built by King Charles I. It is one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe and is a very popular attraction in the heart of the medieval town. This image was shot with my TL120 camera on Provia 100f film. Maybe on the next round I will have a similar, only hyper shot from my Lubitel hyper rig. I still have to take the film in for processing.
Two Modes of Travel
Juneau is a government and a tourist town. In the summer, it is all tourists. You arrive by boat, or by plane, and both are common day trips for tourists. The Otters in the background will be loaded with folks heading south of town to the Taku River. They are 50(ish) year old De Havilland aircraft which have been repowered with turbo-props. The steamboat is a fiberglass hulled vessel built in the style of a 1900-vintage launch, but is powered by a 2000-vintage boiler and engine. They run hour-long harbor tours most days of the week.

Overflow!
A trip to a Cape Cod beach and my son decided to challenge the surf. He was doing well, but kept pushing his walls closer to the waves. He was inevitably inundated and was forced to retreated.
Getting shots in the wind, sand, and surf isn’t easy, but it sure is safer than crawling under glaciers 🙂
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.
Summer in Boise
From the winter of 2008, we move to the summer of 2008. That summer, the NSA convention was in Boise. I went and took my TL120-1 along. Aside from the good time, good conversations, and good theater, there was great weather. I don’t know what the folks in Boise thought of it, but it was warm and dry (certainly not Juneau weather) and it appealed.
These were the two better street-shots of the two rolls I burned in Boise. Both are from a hand-held TL120-1.
Montreal lookout
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.

Inaugural Offerings
Geoffrey Waldo is our newest member in 2013. As you may be able to discern from his images, New Mexico is home.

I’ll go out on a limb and suggest these images were created with a TL120-1.

Chris Again
Here is another picture of my nephew Chris skating. TL120, not sure of the F stop, but probably not F22.
BC Cascade – Shannon Park?
I added this picture because I think this is from the same place Dale Walsh took his ‘Chillin’ picture. I shot this with my TL120, most likely F22
Pop Corn Stand
(Some more Renfest runners-up this time around – all shot with a hand-held, string steadied TL-120)
Another lovely young stand girl at this past PA Renfest. Lighting was a bit of a challenge.
The Dandy Fops
A notorious, ridiculous and campy troupe that appears at fairs around the country each year. They seem to do little else but line up and slowly parade by gawking spectators, but maybe that’s all it really takes.
