Grab the easy shot...

Added on by John Sturr.

Sometimes - it pays to experiment and take the easy shot - maybe it’s the shot right in front of you - maybe you are walking the dog and you can pull up the camera and see what happens after you hit the shutter release.

That’s exactly what I did with this capture. My wife and I were walking the dog - I had a fast f1.4, 50mm - and I set it up and hoped for the best. I couldn’t have expected the result - oh - and this was on film - so I had no idea what would eventually happen.

A new post -- Finally !!

Added on by John Sturr.

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.

Hagerman

Added on by John Sturr.

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.

WW II - Museum

Added on by John Sturr.

Shot at the Museum - quite near the entrance.  The Museum is very nice - but I wish it was bigger !  This images is a BW convert from color.  This may be the first time I've done this, as I'm usually a purest when it comes to the craft.  But - in this case - a BW images really makes this form pop.

As always - no crop and self developed, shot on a Rollei 6008i

RMNP - atop looking down

This last September, on a trip to Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park I was able to grab this shot when we stopped for a quick viewing.  

This image was captured really well -- and with film that is always a bit of a trick.  And - if the image is captured well, there is no guarantee that the development will do it justice.  The image capture, and home development, and scanning turned out just as envisioned.  And this path - is the beauty of film, and the process of film, and the unexpected nature of film.

Back from the MAC at PYC

Added on by John Sturr.

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.

an Early Morning

Added on by John Sturr.

This is Yellowstone in the early morning - and a great way to beat the crowds.  Most others are trying to figure out their day ahead, or maybe just taking it easy.  An early wakeup, a piece of fruit and a cup of coffee is all you need.

Madeline and I started making our way to each stop as the Sun was on its way to rise.

Photographers are standing on the walk way - waiting for geyser to shoot.
