At the end of July the Pentwater Yacht Club allows boats returning from Mackinaw to dock overnight - all stacked up. I shot this the day after the "Back from the Mac" PYC party of the night before.
Shot on the Rollei 6008i - I'm loving the rendering this camera is providing. Self developed and scanned.

Back to the roots.
Months ago - testing the nature of film and how it works against architecture. Film is so foreign - its like putting on blinders and walking out side. Digital allows you to confirm the capture - film says, "screw you" -- I'll give it up when I want too. And that's the truth.
For a paying gig - well - that's a bit unnerving.
This is at the University of Utah. When the light is right - there are some striking areas to shoot.

Backgrounds
This is not an award winning photo by any means - but the process of creating it becomes a compelling learning experience. This composition is an everyday occurrence and being able to recognize value in an everyday experience is sometimes difficult. The sun peaked in the morning - I saw how intense and golden it was on the SE, or right side of the image, and went out with the P330. Since it shoots at f1.8 - I knew I wanted the drama of the depth of field the f1.8 could accommodate. At the same time I wanted to fill the frame and the only way to that was with the Macro mode.
The whole time while shooting I learned to be conscious of the background, because I really had no control of that from my vantage point. I had to pivot around the subject to get it acceptable. That - in and of itself, is probably the best lesson in this exercise - and the reason of why I'm discussing it - and that is - Know your Background - that can make or break the image.
Post consisted of a convert to JPG from NRW - an X-Equals Fuji Superia 100 Curve Preset, sharpening, and a slight bump in noise reduction - all completed in LR5.
