When I received the Dragon Folio, I realized that I hadn’t taken any MF stereo images since it last came my way.\u00a0 (Shame on me!)\u00a0 So on a beautiful sunny afternoon in early October, I took my TL-120 (original 80mm lenses) down to the National Gallery of Art in the center of Washington, DC.\u00a0 I shot 3 rolls of Provia 100, mostly at f\/16, 1\/60 sec.\u00a0 I didn’t totally<\/em> flub any of the exposures, but many of my 18 pairs were marred by excessive contrast, usually with my main subject being too dark.\u00a0 I have some very powerful battery-powered strobes, which could have helped some of those pictures.\u00a0 But I imagine the security guards would have chased me away if I’d shown up with an assistant & flash units & no commercial photography permit.\u00a0 I don’t think they even allow tripods unless you have a permit, so these were all hand-held.<\/p>\n

It’s a very sad state of affairs that there are no longer any E-6 processors in the Washington, DC area.\u00a0 I tried out a lab in Manhattan called the Color Resource Center.\u00a0 Their price was very reasonable ($7.50\/roll + $6.75 return shipping), and I thought they did a good job, with a fast turnaround.\u00a0 But the post office really fell down on the job, taking a full week to get my package from the DC suburbs to NYC.<\/p>\n

NGA Sculpture Garden<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Two Modern Sculptures in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden.\u00a0 On the right is\u00a0Four-Sided Pyramid<\/em> by Sol Lewitt, from 1999.\u00a0 I couldn’t figure out the name or the sculptor for the tall piece on the left.\u00a0 To me, this slide looks okay in a viewer, but perhaps it will have too much disparity for some people.<\/p>\n

National Archives<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

The South Entrance of the National Archives Building, seen from the Sculpture Garden across Constitution Avenue.\u00a0 I wished that my camera had a wider lens for this shot.<\/p>\n

Flowers in the Sculpture Garden<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

I think these may be some of the same flowers seen in the foreground of my first image.<\/p>\n
