Double Take
Double exposure taken in-camera (on film) a few years back, during my “experimental” photography days. ;-)
Tower(s)
A lookout tower built to watch for German Submarines during World War II, one of many that can be found along the New England coast. This one is in Westport, Massachusetts and there are 3 or 4 others in the next few towns over. The towers were once accessible, but years of vandalism have forced them to be locked down, the doors reinforced, and in some cases cemented over permanently.
Still digging through some old film photos and really thinking about getting in a shoot or photowalk using black and white film. I like the whole look and feel of b&w, and do have a few rolls in the fridge that need to come out of hiding…maybe this weekend.
Bay Fog
I’ve been going through some of my old film and slide scans, trying to find some inspiration. Looking back, I see and feel that I spent a lot more time and effort with film photos than I do with digital. I know digital allows us to make mistakes and correct them on spot, but also allows us to be lazy, to increase our odds of getting the photo we’d like by shooting more at no added cost, but I’m not sure how much I like that. To me it’s a bit more rewarding to visualize a photo, attempt to take it, and either be rewarded with success, or to learn from my mistakes and try again with past lesson learned. But then again, I’ve use my DSLR 98% of the last two years, so who am I to complain?
I can still see a strong argument for film, both for it’s look and feel as well as the amount of effort that goes into a photo. I really am going to try and push myself to shoot a few rolls ofer the next few weeks, just to remind myself where I started and that it’s still there for me to shoot. I’ve also been contemplating the “$50 Film Camera Project” over on Epic Edits, maybe that will be the motivation I need to get me going. I will post a followup here if that happens to be the case.
Canal Span
The Bourne Bridge, one of two bridges that connect Cape Cod to the rest of Massachusetts (yes, it really is separate from the rest of the commonwealth).
This is…
This is the cable that supports the tower, that supports the weights, that support the bridge, that supports the train, over the canal that man built.
PS. They make a neat sound when struck, I will link a video to it later.
Decisions
…and any way you choose me, it won’t be wrong.
Ornate
Taken at a local car show, I was only able to get in a few minutes of shooting before it wrapped up, I am hoping to catch the next one in a week or so, I’d like to do a walk through and shoot just the finer details, ornaments, and old emblems of the antique cars, something that’s often overlooked when viewing them.
