Been watching him for quite some time. I really need to get to one of them. I imagine they would be a street photographer goldmine

Black and white square image. A lone figure walks down a narrow, sandy path through the dunes on the north coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada. The blurry image was made with a Holga plastic camera.

It happens every single time there are people around. I try to plan accordingly but I usually fail:)

I believe it. Those big lenses always get people looking

No Kings. 4x5 film. I did not get the photos I wanted to take. Too many people stopped me to talk about my camera. The one thing you have to accept when shooting 4x5. I did get a couple that I will post. #filmisnotdead #nokingsprotest #believeinfilm #fimlphotgrophy #photography #eastcoastkin #pnw

I was doing the same. Problem was, I had a hard time getting photos I wanted because everyone kept talking to me about my camera.

Thanks for the tip. I expect that to be the case. I’ll have to tighten my composition. I don’t own a digital so I’m stuck using film which is ok with me. I use the cheap stuff.

True, hadn’t thought of that either. I was going for a motion, ended up with a ghost pic for the season.

Thanks! Hopefully the next one turns out better. If not I’m now officially happy with this

I hadn’t thought about that. What a world we live in today. Whenever I show my work for sale, I get so many shocked faces when I show them the camera I used.

Thanks and yes they are tricky. I scratched my head on a few that turned out odd. She walked slowly down the stairs and stopped with about 4 seconds left.

Thanks! I like it, but I was trying to add more detail to the last part of the image. I wanted a ghostly image over time, with the final stop showing all details, yet remaining opaque. I lost her lower half on this one. Hopefully, I can achieve what I envision on the next attempt.

A failed attempt. I'm trying a new project with long exposure. I shot this with 'stops' timed to the reciprocity failure at 21 seconds on 4x5 film. I have an idea on how to make it work. #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #filmphotography #photography #photographersofbluesky #eastcoastkin

My first art show went well. Met some great local people and some awesome local photographers and artist. The Olympia community is awesome. Thank you to all those that stopped by for some great conversation.

I was pleasantly surprised. I thought for sure it would have been sent to the prop garbage in Hollywood, but nope, still there!

It was a beautiful morning. Empty of tourists and dramatic in nature.

We are planning a visit to LV soon and I think it would be a great opportunity for you to have her on you channel as a guest. I have been watching you fomr the beginning of the war and I am passionate about Ukriaine as I have spent a lot of time there. I would hope you would consider it.

I have no idea how to get in touch with you. So I will post here. My wife is a former radio journalist and was working out of Crimea during the annexation in 2014. She has an overwhelming amount of historical information from interviews with prominent people.

A video taken from the photo that I was photographing while being photographed. Say that 5 times fast:). #pnw #landscape

That is awesome. I did not go to as many live shows as I should have over the years. I missed the boat and truly regret it.

I went on a ultra wide rampage for a but. I need to revisit that. It is fun to shoot really wide when the photo doesn't even call for it.

The simle ones are often the best. I really liked this one.

I had a moment where I decided to do something out of the norm in order to try and be unique. We shall see if it pays off. I am having fun with it. I do like to shoot static images. It is the core of great photography and will always hold a special place in my heart. Especially on film.

Great gallery. So many awesome photographers on this platform. It is so satisfying to see photos like yours.

That makes sense. My 4x5 is really light. It is a Hansa 6x9 with a 4x5 adaptor. I also have it on a carbon fiber tripod. That probably has a lot to do with it. I can carry it around all day which is why I love it so much. It is probably the smallest 4x5 ever made. I really need to do pinhole.

The tide wasn't that dramatic so that may have had something to do with it. The sand there was quite 'packed' as well. Maybe I just got lucky.

I didn't have an issue with that. My tripod is water proofed so I did not worry about that but I di not have any sinking issues. This photo was a 1 minute exposure. It was one of my most liked at a festival that I was at recently.
