Four from Don Lopp

Rivalry City

Fish Tossing

Be Not Afraid

Kerry Park

Four of Don’s images from the files. The shot from the observation tower is wild for the miniaturization. I think I’m going to need to visit that spot with radio triggers and polarizers. Fish Toss is classic Don. Be Not Afraid is dark, but probably hasn’t been in circulation. And Kerry Park was a favorite haunt, so you’ve likely seen something similar before.

Irrational Exuberance

Irrational Exuberance

This was the best of the shots I got on Independence Day 2025. Cameras set about 40 feet apart, radio triggered, about eight second exposures at f16. Fuji Provia 100F, of course. Venue courtesy of my good friend James Baker.

Jay Walking

This was shot with the Tl-120, Provia, camera remotely triggered, with radio transmitters to trigger the off-camera flash units.

Pt. Robinson Lighthouse with Mt. Rainier

Pt. Robinson Lighthouse with Mt. Rainier

I’d been planning this shot for a while and recently scouted it to determine what lens would work best on the Hasselblads. For this I used the 150mms, same as I’ve used with fireworks. The idea is to use a telephoto lens and get as far away from the lighthouse as I can, thus giving emphasis to the mountain. I was limited by the thicket behind me. I think it turned out well but I regretted not having polarizers with me. Maybe next time! The stereo base was around 6 inches.

Dahmen Wheel & Gear Fence

Dahmen Wheel & Gear Fence

I went on a photo excursion with my friend Robert Stahl to the Palouse area of Washington State in June 2009. This is one of the sites we visited. The slide is mounted correctly but I labeled it backwards. DOH! Place it in the viewer with the title side facing away.

Folio A35

Spanish Horse

This image was taken in 2019 in Spain, somewhere, using my Sputnik.

This slide is mounted backwards. (I was in a hurry because I was heading for vacation and didn’t want to hold the Folio for an extra week or more).

Midway Food

A very old slide taken at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. There were no moving rides in it so I never shared it before, but, since my TL120 continues to spoil whole rolls of film, I have become very partial to the sharpness of these shots.

Having a Rest

This shot is also an older shot taken with my TL120 on Provia 100f, and I don’t understand why I haven’t shown it to anybody before now.

This slide was also labelled backwards.

Gold Coast Beach

I hesitate to put this image into the folio, but I am curious to hear what folks have to say. Obviously foreground is limited to a flag and water and sand but let me know if I just wasted film.

Ferruginous Hawk Nest

I found this nest on a hike called “The Valley of 1000 Devils” in the East Block of Grasslands National Park. Hiking in the back-country is nice as you cant point your camera in nearly any direction without including any sign of human development. The English transliteration of the Latin scientific name for this bird is “Royal Buzzard” — surely Saskatchewan’s most impressive grassland bird. Here it has used some bones to construct its nest. I wish I had a half stop less exposure here.

Narrow Hills Esker View

This one is a bit sad for me. I took this shot in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It was a bit smoky the year I took this photo from forest fires further north — you can see the lack of contrast in the distance. (You can also see a blurry log in the foreground due to insufficient DOF, but try not to focus on that too much!) Well, during the summer of 2025, a large fraction of the park was burned in a forest fire, including this area. I guess it might be kinda interesting to go back and take some photographs after the fire.

Alley After Spring Storm

Back Alley Fence After Storm

Sorry for the two similar views, but I’d like to get your feedback. After a spring storm, the clouds cleared right around sunset and there was some really wild light. I was totally overcome by the atmosphere that I found myself immersed in. There were lots of wonderful wet reflective surfaces and great textures highlighted by the low angle of the sun peeking out from the clouds. I knew I only had a few minutes before the sun set, but I didn’t know where to point my camera. I was just around my house in a suburban environment and the neighborhood is rather photographically uninspiring ). I knew I had to try to shoot something in 3D, so I grabbed my TL-120 and ventured down the alley. I’m curious if you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation. How would you approach shooting this situation? Do you see any potential compositions in these two slides that I overlooked?

Cheers and thanks for the many wonderful images this round!

70-Mile Butte

Taken on a hike on the west side of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan. The trail is only a couple miles long, and the trailhead is about 15 miles from the US border, so I’m not sure what the name refers to. The sun beats down hard and there is very little rain.

Boreal Floor

A close-up from Prince Albert National Park in central Saskatchewan. I blew the whites a bit, and a blade of grass is blowing in the wind. MF3D is tough to get right!

Bergenia in Wild Light

I was unsure about submitting this image (barely made the shortlist), but my test audience liked it, so I thought I’d see what the pros say. This was taken after a spring rainstorm. The clouds cleared away right before sunset and I had 15 minutes of absolutely crazy light. I couldn’t travel too far since time was short, I took a couple shots in the alleyway and this bedding plant. The dynamic range far exceeded what Velvia offers. This would have been clear candidate for an M-chrome.

Dickman Mill Ruins

These are some remains from a sawmill constructed in the late 1800s. Taken in Tacoma, WA during 3D-Con 2022. After mounting this slide, I did a google search to remind myself of the name of this location, and apparently the creosote treated pilings have now been removed.
