My son Talon is trying to decide whether to take the upper or lower passage in the lava tube. Taken with a TL120 on Fuji ProviaF 100. Most of the light was natural, but Talon also fired a Vivitar 283 to light up a bit more of the dark recesses.
Linda submitted her images at the close of the NSA convention in Loveland. I’ve provided the thumbnail scans to provide a placeholder for comments, but I am unable to add any additional commentary.

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.
Another show with my 1935 Bowlus Road Chief on our recent trip from Toronto to California and back. Loved this area of Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs. I did alot of climbing over the rock for different angles. Sorry the rock is slightly out of focus. I shot f22 but I guess not enough DOF. I was shoting most mono (sorry). For those that are intrigued by my trailer fascination check my Bowlus pages for some other mono (sorry) pics of the trip.

I was hanging out the window of my hotel for this shot. It was a St. Patrick day parade staging grounds. Lot of action, a complex image that I feel is stereo photograpy’s strength. Somehow this image reminds me of Paul Shay’s photographs, on one hand it is clearly street photography but the subject somehow seemed staged, sort of like Jeff Wall’s photography.
3D World Provia handheld (which is rare for me)… I was worried I was going to drop the camera on someone.
My travel trailer called a Bowlus Road Chief was built in 1935 and the house called “Ship
of the Desert” was built in 1936, both of the Streamline Moderne movement. I set up this shoot early in the morning but didn’t get out the 3D camera until the sun came up. For those interested in the weird trailer you can find information at my site www.openthinkinc.com/bowlus

I know what you’re thinking — the thing missing from this folio is some photos of Mt. Rainier.
For at least a couple years now Don Lopp has been bugging me to get down to Reflection Lake and capture this shot under a full moon. The idea is to take an exposure long enough to let the moon light the scene like day and still get star trails.
I shot some other film that night and processed it first. It came out much too dark and in the end I pushed this roll 2 stops. This was a 90 minute exposure. With the push it’s the equivalent of a 6 hour exposure (and star trails could have been 4x as long)! I am baffled by how true the colors look. I see no reciprocity failure.
