Random Stuff

I was looking through the files on my computer and found some random pictures that I thought I would post.  Enjoy.

First steps into Medium format...

So I've been thinking of doing some film photography and decided to get into medium format. I bought this camera off e-bay and shot my firts roll of B&W film. Needless to say having a fully manual camera is an interesting change compaired to digital, but it's a good excuse to learn alot.  Here are a few of the pictures...

This shot turned out the best but there is some lens flare on the mountain because I was shooting into the west at dusk.

For this picture I was messing around with the apature trying to figure out the depth of field since there is no depth of field preview on the camera. The added problem I'm having is the paralax due to the viewing lens and the taking lens not being the same.

In this picture I was trying some longer shutter speeds but resulted in some light flare comming in from the canyon above. I also noticed on the last few pictures the film isn't lined up right. Hopefully as I begin to learn more and practice more I'll be able to post some nicer pictures.

Some random pictures I just found

I think I may be spending too much time in the desert...or not enough.

Desert Sunset

These are from a trip out to the west desert looking for Geodes. Needless to say the sunset was awesome.

Fall Colors (2008/2009)
