Fuji Acros 100 - Stand development in Rodinal at 5% for 60 min - shot on the Nikon F100 with what appears to be the 85mm f1.4/D.
Shot in Twin Falls Idaho a few years back — film on a Nikon F100 / 35mm. I don’t shoot 35mm much very often - but I’m trying to change that and work it more. Stand development of Rodinal at 5% with a 60 minute burn and then scanned on a Minolta dimage.
No crop.
Bird on a roof -- shot with the Nikon F100 and the 80-200 AF-s.
as always - No Crop.
Self developed and Scanned on Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400
The Stoick Lola - the 5 year old english bulldog... chilling out behind the screen door. Shot on Fuji Acros 100 with a 5% Rodinal Stand for 60min - scanned on the Minolta Dimage 5400.
While shopping I took this image of a hanging light - using the 35mm Nikon F100 and the 50mm f1.4 it turned out really well. It’s interesting when it all comes together and the final result surprises you after development and the scan. This is where the choice of premium gear, meaning the lens, will really set the captured scene apart from the normal view.
Shot on Fujifilm Acro 100 in a Rodinal Stand development for 60 minutes. Scanned on the Minolta 5400 series.
M about to partake in the ritual of drinking some great coffee — in SLC no less.
The Lola — we love this bulldog… she’s some great company. But — she’s developed a limp on her rear left leg - we though it was a pulled muscle from just going all out - as she does. But — nope — it’s a torn or partially torn ACL. Ugh — so - she goes under the knife soon once we figure out how good/bad the condition really is.
I’ve been letting the time slip away — and between just enjoying life and the day to day - I’ve neglected the image posting. No worries I say - time to catch up on that.
I haven’t been shooting the Nikon F100 very much - this image is of that with color no less. Color is even more rare in the 35mm setup. It’s also interesting that film is becoming more popular and more scarce at the same time. Fuji has eliminated Acros - My most, most favorite stock of all time. Ugh… double Ugh… Onward.
My Wife and my Mother-In-Law.
Shot early in the year on Kodak Portra 400. Self developed and scanned - no crop.
Whenever I'm looking I trie to See. I try to build the frame in my mind and that is hit or miss and sometimes it comes easily and sometimes not at all. Sometimes it's the weather, the mood, my mood, the people I'm with, or the needs of the dog when I'm walking her -- yadda, yadda, yadda..
Ok -- so you get the point -- sometimes it happens, and sometimes it just doesn't... no matter how hard you try.
But -- there are times when a scene just grabs you -- and that's when I have to get the shot. And during those times if I don't get the shot then I become obsessed and really bummed I didn't make the image.
So -- here's what I'm getting at -- while walking the dog with my wife this scene caught my eye and I took it hand held on the Nikon F100 with 400 ASA Ilford. And -- I love this image. The whole lesson here is while your looking try to see - try to see the superimposed frame in front of you - and sometimes that comes easily, and some times - it just doesn't.
Last Fall I would walk the neighborhood with Lola the English Bulldog and my Nikon F100. Every once in a while a scene would appear - or - better said - I would will a scene to be captured. Every photo - every frame - is a stretch of sanity without slapping the shutter release of pure hope something would eventually develop. And develop is correct as I'm shooting film here -- but I'll stop babbling -- this is what I got in the window of the Architectural firm.
This was in Hagerman Idaho. It was one of those days where I had the time to shoot but I had to dig really deeply to find anything -- really -- anything to shoot. I walked out side from the house - about 100 yards away and this scene appeared. And I decided to make it work and capture it as best as i could manage. Shot on Portra 400 with the Nikon F100.
Last August a friend let me borrow his Leica M6 - it was wonderful.
Here's Lola again - with my wife Madeline. When Lola was around 10lbs.
I love this image - combined with the look of film this brings me to a "Madmen" type scene -- with the hat and film base it looks like something from the fabulous 1950's.
No lies here -- I don't know how fabulous the 50's really were as I wasn't born yet -- but I can't get over the nostalgia this image brings. Too bad the cars are in the background - else it would have been timeless.
This is Kodak's Portra 400. For its skin tone rendering - it has no peer.
Self developed with a C-41 Tetenal Kit - no crop.
A cedar plank salmon smoking, is a back yard favorite - and on a whim I shot the event and the captured tones blew me away.
The smoke tones, during this evening really gave way to the power of the monochrome - and this became a good learning moment of trying to recognize what BW can really capture.
This was a grab shot - and a bit of a surprise at how well it turned out. I couldn't have imagined this result. Geometric patterns are difficult to come by, recognize, and then capture.
Ilford Delta 400
A colleague asked me when do I usually go out to shoot - "When ever I can", I said. There are times when I plan a shoot - or have an idea of what kind of look I want. Other times the moments are serendipitous.
As seen from my most of my work, it is probably not too difficult to see how I am attracted to very, strong, rectilinear forms. And that is sometimes satisfied thru harsh light and shadow - and I'm really fine with that as the form is what I'm after. The above image was shot with an Olympus Zuiko 35mm f2.8 Shift - converted with a Leitax Nikon adapter.
This last weekend I shot the Triad Center - and because that area is so vertical and channeled - overhead sun worked out well. Else - the contrast between the shadow would be too difficult to balance.
