Life at 17mm

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

OK - I miss (I mean I MISS MISS MISS) having truly wide angle due to the digital 1.5x crop factor - so now I’ve taken to carrying a film camera (Nikon F5) with a wide zoom (Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8) and shooting some color neg that’s developed at $3 a roll with no prints and [...]

Greenwood Ave. Car Show

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

I finally made it to the Greenwood Ave Show… every year I kept missing it for one reason or another. It’s eclectic to say the least - good people watching, a wide variety of cars.
I only took the 70-200 f/2.8 on the digital camera - i’ll be getting my film developed today from the F5 [...]

Redmond, WA - packed and stacked

Friday, June 24th, 2005

This is my neighborhood. Average lot size is likely < ~3000 sq ft. Most houses are >$500k. It’s interesting… but in Ohio I had 1/3 of an acre and a house that was much bigger and I actually like it better here in Redmond. We know more neighbors, we use the [...]

Car Show - Italian Style

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Like Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Detomasso, Ferrari? There is an annual show at Lonsdale Quay in Vancouver, BC on Father’s Day every year.
We went up with the Northwest Region of the Ferrari Club of America (NWRFCA) and hit dinner and the show with all the usual suspects.
Lots more pictures here at:http://www.pbase.com/threefourfive/200506vancouver

The House

The House: The sky was 4+ stops out of range and I didn’t go back to the garage for my tripod… I will next time because I’d like to try [...]

Flowers up close

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Couple flowers from next to our garage. In the orange one I was just fascinated by all the pollen… no wonder I’ve been sneezing.
This is a 60mm Macro shot…
This is the same 60mm lens but with three extension tubes (pk11, pk12, pk13) stacked to increase magnification of the lens.

Friday night playtime…

Batch 1: Scanned from negative and slide film

Friday, June 10th, 2005

I am finally (!!) almost complete with the effort I started last October - revisiting some 15,000 rolls of negatives and slides to scan in some favorites. It takes a LONG time to get through that much film!
I used a Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner to scan them. My biggest complaint is that black and [...]
