Photographed with a TL-120 on a tripod using a Vivitar 285H with plastic diffusor for fill-flash. I think it was 1/60 @ f16.
There’s nothing quite like the Mermaid Parade, the participants loved to be photographed, and the stranger the camera the better.
Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop with a Vivitar 285H with a diffusor for fill-flash. I believe it was f16 @ 1/125. The TL-120 seems to do fine with flash sync at 1/125 even though 3D World only claimed 1/30.
It was bright sunny day for the 2014 Mermaid Parade, fill-flash saved lots of my shots from excessive shadow detail.
For me fill-flash is like that commercial for hot-sauce: “I put that $#*& on everything!”
The Taj Mahal is often seen just in the classic full view, but there’s quite a lot to look at when you get closer in. MF3D is really the only medium that can convey the richness of all the marble inlays and carving.
This was photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. I believe it was 1/250 @f16. No tripods are allowed at the Taj unless major fees are paid, so this was shot with the camera hanging around my neck using a Hasselblad waist level finder and a cable release. October 2010.
The TL-120 attracted a lot of attention in India, at times I was mobbed with people wondering what it was.
Montreal Lookout – Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. This slide didn’t even seem worth mounting until I thought of trying a panoramic mount. Unfortunately I used my last panoramic mount here.
Coney Island Mermaid with Umbrella- Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 and a Vivitar 285H fill-flash with plastic diffusor. The fill flash is an important element in this shot, without it her face would have mostly been in shadow. The Coney Island Mermaid Parade happens on the first Saturday after the Summer Solstice every year and is a wonderful opportunity to get interesting people shots. There are plenty of photographers with interesting rigs who attend, but the TL-120 never fails to attract attention.
Gogarty’s Pub
This was shot with a Twin Yashica-Mat 124 rig early in the morning since I was in Ireland on business and didn’t have time for picture taking during the day. I had good luck with the shutters on this rig when they were set to one second, so I probably shot this at one second and used spot metering to determine the aperture. Provia 100F pushed one stop.
Alligator Cactus – Jim Harp

Provia 100F pushed one stop
This was taken at the Desert Botanical Garden near Phoenix, Arizona.
Jim Harp – May 2012
Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop, Vivitar 185H fill flash, tripod support.
TaiPei is filled with beautiful Buddhist and Confucian temples.
Jim Harp May 2012
Photographed with a TL-120, Provia 100F pushed one stop, tripod. This monument is located in Fo Guang Shan in Southwestern Taiwan. It’s difficult to capture the scale of this place but panoramic MF3D comes close.
May 2012
This is the view from the observation deck of the 101 building which is the tallest skyscraper in Asia. This was a cha-cha shot with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. I used a four foot separation, which is quite a bit less than the “1/30” rule would dictate. While I don’t think this separation would produce satisfactory depth in 35mm or digital I feel that it works well for medium format. Medium Format’s high level of detail provides plenty of depth cues and there’s none of the miniaturization effects that a 20 foot separation would have created.
May 201. Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. I used a pod support.
This image captures what much of Taipei is like; the mountains in the background, the modern, nondescript buildings and the group of people exercising in public.

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade is a photographer’s paradise. Participants love to have their picture’s taken. I like the way the fill flash brings out the faces here, but I wish I had used a diffusor, it’s a little harsh.
Shot with a Sputnik Ilford Pan-F processed by DR-5 Dublin 2006
This was a three to four minute exposure. You have to look for my face in here, it’s floating in space just to the left of the base of the statue. I opened the shutter with a locking cable release, walked up to the statue and held a Vivitar 285H pointed at my face at arm’s length and fired it.
Shot with twinned Yashica-Mat 124s, Provia 100F pushed one stop. Vivitar 285H fill flash
I shot this in 2003. This statue has since been moved so that this particular view is no longer possible. I liked to think of George M. Cohan watching over all the Broadway theaters here.

This monument is known as the “Baby Taj” because of its location near the Taj Mahal, which has also led to it being generally ignored by tourists.
