Coiner’s scrap yard

Tech: Available light exposure of 1/50sec. on FUJI RVP Velvia 100F film with Sam Smith’s (I think) siamesed Ricohflex on loan from Paul Talbot. This is the original slide.

This is some of the first MF3d photography I have done.  Seeking abstract and textured subject matter, I went to the local scrap metals yard.  Not only was it very cold out, but the picture I found was of some scrap (in foreground of this view) very close to where a crane was working, making loud clanking and thudding noises.  I needed to face away from the crane, could not monitor it, and so made my exposures with some apprehension for my safety.

Taken at the confluence of the Fox River and Lake Winnebago.  It was 20 degrees and a fog had just lifted leaving the trees wonderfully coated with crystals.

Zero Gravity & Rockets #2

Zero Gravity & Rockets #2I’d been to the Puyallup (pyoo AL ip) Spring Fair on Friday night and saw a poster advertising fireworks on Saturday “at around 9pm.” I made the trek the next night, got there early, scouted where the fireworks would be and what I could get in my foreground, etc. My plan was to shoot with the TL-120, and I started capturing other images while I waited. At 8pm I had just finished a roll in the TL-120 when I started hearing boom-boom-boom behind me. Not knowing how long the fireworks would last, I zipped up my backpack, grabbed both tripods with cameras already set, and hurried over to my spot. I would have done much better with the TL-120, since I would only have to wind one camera, and there’s more to check on the 2 Hasselblads. And sync is not an issue on the TL-120.

I took a photo trip to the Palouse last year. It’s an area of Eastern Washington/Western Idaho that’s filled with rolling hills and old farms. the combination makes for some striking scenery, with lots of opportunities for photo-graphics. That said, a lot of those opportunities are seized using different lenses. Not an option on my TL-120. But I wanted to include a shot from my trip. It’s a well-worn route for photographers, and this truck was clearly left out front for the photo op. TL-120, Velvia 50, f22, shutter speed unrecorded.
