Some more film shots over the next little while.



And don't ask me where I took this. I have no idea :)

Some more Oregon 2009 photos

I had these on a roll the I just recently got around to developing.

They brought back some happy memories :)

Wet Dunes


Signs of life


Reluctant Photographer


Patterns in the sand


Some of the film had fairly significant damage. I'm not sure if it was a light leak or a temperature issue. But somehow, with a bit of cropping, they still hold a certain interest.

Sepia Dunes


On the Ridge


The final few shots are, rather fittingly, from our final night camping.

Cooking Breakfast

This photo is really here not for it photographic aspects, but more to show how we woke up. Michelle of course handling the cooking, she really has a knack for it. :)

Tear-down


The way the light was coming through the trees was really nice. Two final pictures

Leaving


The path home


Thanks for coming along, I hope you have a good Victoria Day long weekend :)

Dual sporting in black and white

Went out with Bill last weekend. Great ride, though we ended up on trails with mountain bikers. Also I finally blew a fork seal (fixed today ;) )

Worth 1000 words?

Behind Furry Creek


From where we came

If you think that looks too damn skinny to ride a motorbike across, you're 1/2 right. My handle bars were wider than the bridge. Luckily they were also higher than the top of the railing so I made it across :D

Great time.

New West (work) photowalk -- 35mm edition

I already posted the holga photos, now for some 35mm content.

Contrast to the Holga image. Which do you prefer?

"You cannot take this picture"

The security guard's day did not get better after he told me that I wasn't allowed to take the photo and then said "He would need to know my name" when I told him he had zero rights to try and stop me.

Keeping watch


The Cannons shot you can see in an earlier post :)

Have a good night.

What to do with a damaged photo?

So after my Saturday New Westminster photo walk (in the rain), the tape holding the film to the roll let go. I.E. I had film stuck in the camera.

Not a huge deal, I have a darkroom thank to Michelle's sewing and excellent use of velcro. But, in freeing the film from it's Nikon prison, I scratched one of the negatives. Turns out, it was one of the photos I liked the most. Leaving aside the fact that I seem to scratch a fair bit of film, I decided to go with it.

New West Cannons


If you can't beat it, sepia and an old border :)

P.S.: More Holga and photowalk images soon.

More film from last year cont.

A few more images from last year.

These first two I like and am having a hard time deciding which orientation I prefer; though right now I'm leaning to landscape.

The girl on the rocks




Oregon grass

More film from last year

Some of these shots were from last spring. I really need to shorten the cycle (maybe use less film cameras at once? :) )

Kits Beach scene

I quite like how disconnected everyone seems.

Part of the "Closed" series


Breaking through


Kits circa 2009

Sometimes damaged film is OK :)

More to come over the next few days.

Have a great weekend.

Old film

... in a couple of ways.

One, this film has been expired for years (maybe 6?). And two, I had the exposed rolls sitting around since last June.

But, I finally got around to doing some developing and scanning tonight.

Some of the first results, all from our road trip to Oregon last year.

First, two slightly different takes on the same idea:


I think I like the first one better, but thought I'd post them both


Return from fishing


I guess I have two takes on this as well :)


Tracks


Sand abstract


South Beach - Beach


Hopefully there will be more installments as I keep scanning & developing :)

Some scans Nov 09

I just got a roll of film back. Only $2.00 at costco if all they do is develop it and now that I bought a film scanner, that's no problem to do at all.

There is no particular order or common theme really. But I hope someone enjoys them :)

I must say that I quite like this photo.
