Photography

The film from my recent road trip came back from the lab a few hours ago... These photos were taken using Ilford FP4 Plus / ISO 125 b&w negative film, Gear was the Nikon F3P and a 50mm f/1.2 Most of the days were rainy and foggy, great for taking photos. ...  

Thanks for sharing, watch out for the bears!

I heard that the bears were not as active this year in the area where I was staying... lots of rain during my last visit, so I avoided the trails. In some years they come right down into the populated parts of the prefecture. I think there was at least on... 

Glad you had that getaway!

actually the second and third are just in front of the pond... the leaves had not turned around the pond... it can be a very colourful spot. I will be back there at the end of this week (29-Oct) for a few days... it's a quick two hour 15 min. drive from T... 

I really enjoyed shooting the Ilford ISO 125... because of the overcast I had to shoot a little more open than usual and got some of that Nikon 50mm f/1.2 out of focus rendering. The internet dampened some of the detail / tones when compared to looking at... 

Your superb shots give me a good nudge to go out and make the most of autumn this weekend

and yes, please enjoy the upcoming autumn weekend... take a walk, or bike ride, or whatever and just have a great time... Casey

but during these days there is a lot of quiet time in the city. It's the fresh air that one notices right off. At the moment they are talking about reducing the hours of train operations in the capital city by moving up the time of the last train by 30 mi... 

B&W is still an acquired taste for me

I have friends that can't adjust to my monochrome images. I grew up watching b&w TV and seeing family snaps without colour. The 94 year old mother of a good friend always cries when watching a b&w movie / DVD... to many memories of old days. I will try to... 

at least the DNG will be in colour then

It takes less than 30 minutes to walk around the small lake at a leisurely pace... stopping along the way to enjoy the view... it's a lovely spot that has bear warning signs posted at the entrance... little bear feet... Casey

..

There is a bit of a 'trick' with that 3rd photo... autumn colours. The leaves had turned a golden yellow and just popped when compared to the darker greens. Hehehe, Jeff seems to have other fish to fry at the moment... would love to see some more of his r... 

That's not how we roll

but hopefully will help in the long run. Stay safe, news at 10:00 ; ) Casey

I like the results when using Ilford ISO 125, you will see the difference from "part 03" where I used Fuji ISO 400... It had been rainy and overcast so I struggled a bit with the slower film and opted for ISO 400 with mixed results (technically speaking).... 

There is something other-worldly about the last one.

including the many people that visit every day... every photo is some how different and I never get tired of a quick visit or walk along the water's edge. Casey

which one is your pick Casey

the first because of the light and the third because of the rendering of the bright yellow autumn leaves in b&w film. Casey
