Fuji RAP, f11 (?), 1 sec. exposure in available light, using Sputnik on loan from Chuck Holzner. Camera stabilized on walkway/surface of bridge. Slide in folio is original film.
Cycling over the Williamsburg bridge to visit someplace in Brooklyn, I took interest in the elaborate riveted steel trusswork along the way. It was very cold, and I had no tripod. I placed the camera on ground and tried to stabilize it with a pocket knife acting as a shim to get the angle. Aim and thus composition was guesswork. I would have wanted a longer exposure/smaller aperture, but the rig was shaky, so I dared not. Luckily, it was wintertime, so the traffic was light, and I was not reported to the TSA or other anti-terrorist authorities as a person of suspicion – it’s sad what one has to be afraid of these days.
I realize this is a tad dark, sorry. It was taken at the Corpus Christi, Texas surf museum in 2009. The car is made out of fiberglass. And is a replica of the old surfing woody. If you are ever in Corpus the museum is a fun place to visit. Taken with the TL120.
This was taken with the sputnik at Prince Edward Island. I believe the year was 2005.
This is the original courthouse in Presidio County, Texas built in 1886. It was restored a few years back. Too bad I couldn’t have people in it as it would be more interesting, like a cop taking in a suspect. But this was early on a Sunday morning. I used the TL120. Settings are rarely remembered. Marfa is the town where the movie “Giant” was filmed. Also, it is well known for the Marfa lights, a nighttime phenomena that we didn’t get to witness.
This image was made several years ago at Brazos Bend State Park (Texas) where my alligator shots all come from. I think I used a sputnik and most likely used tech pan. I have no idea what settings were used on the camera.
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!).
