Tech: Fuji RVP Velvia 100F. Inadequate depth of field – was I handholding? I can’t remember.
This was the shot obtained under the conditions described in #37.

Coiner’s scrap yard
Tech: Available light exposure of 1/50sec. on FUJI RVP Velvia 100F film with Sam Smith’s (I think) siamesed Ricohflex on loan from Paul Talbot. This is the original slide.
This is some of the first MF3d photography I have done. Seeking abstract and textured subject matter, I went to the local scrap metals yard. Not only was it very cold out, but the picture I found was of some scrap (in foreground of this view) very close to where a crane was working, making loud clanking and thudding noises. I needed to face away from the crane, could not monitor it, and so made my exposures with some apprehension for my safety.
Bozeman, MT
Sputnik – Provia 100 – F22 1/50th sec
At the high point of a hike that took us up about to about a 1000 foot elevation to an overlook of Bozeman, MT.
Big Sur, CA
Sputnik – Techpan
Beautiful coast line in the Big Sur area of the California coast.
Cheatham Hill
Stereflektoskop (don’t remember the film, aperture, etc.)
Located at one of the many Civil War battle sites in Marietta, GA. Beautiful fall day with vibrant fall colors, this was looking up at some of the oak trees.
Nubble Lighthouse At York, Maine
Sputnik (don’t remember the film, aperture, etc.)
I submitted a B/W Techpan version of this a few folios ago. I don’t think that I submitted a color one.
Tilt-A-Whirl & Grand Wheel
I feel like I finally got some good shots of the Tilt-A-Whirl last year at the fair. I like the combination of the magical lights, and the blue collar accoutrements. I like seeing some of the workings exposed (which is why I liked seeing Boris’ socks in the New Years photo!).
Zero Gravity & Rockets #2
I’d been to the Puyallup (pyoo AL ip) Spring Fair on Friday night and saw a poster advertising fireworks on Saturday “at around 9pm.” I made the trek the next night, got there early, scouted where the fireworks would be and what I could get in my foreground, etc. My plan was to shoot with the TL-120, and I started capturing other images while I waited. At 8pm I had just finished a roll in the TL-120 when I started hearing boom-boom-boom behind me. Not knowing how long the fireworks would last, I zipped up my backpack, grabbed both tripods with cameras already set, and hurried over to my spot. I would have done much better with the TL-120, since I would only have to wind one camera, and there’s more to check on the 2 Hasselblads. And sync is not an issue on the TL-120.
Temple Guardian #1
This is from my early days with my “Don-Lopp-modified-Sputnik.” We try to visit NYC every other year during the winter holidays. This is from a late-night visit to the NYC library. I spot metered around the scene. It’s quite dark there at night, with a little bit of ambient light from the traffic.
Provia 100F, f22, 80 seconds.
Faded Red Ford
I took a photo trip to the Palouse last year. It’s an area of Eastern Washington/Western Idaho that’s filled with rolling hills and old farms. the combination makes for some striking scenery, with lots of opportunities for photo-graphics. That said, a lot of those opportunities are seized using different lenses. Not an option on my TL-120. But I wanted to include a shot from my trip. It’s a well-worn route for photographers, and this truck was clearly left out front for the photo op. TL-120, Velvia 50, f22, shutter speed unrecorded.

Texas Wildflowers April 2010
Description Taken with the TL-120 handheld
About the Image This year Texas had the best display of wildflowers I have ever seen. This image was taken near Poteet which is south of San Antonio on some little country road. The tall flowers are prickly poppy with many other varieties.
