photo from the road

This was taken while driving around central or so. WA state. exp. was 1/750, at f8 with lens at about ~ 75mm 35mm equivalent. Camera was a Fuji F30, in b&w mode, ISO 100.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse

I arrived here in the heavy fog after the light was scheduled to be off so didn't bother with the tripod and just hand held for 5-10 seconds with the camera on a fence post. The fog was very heavy, and the moon was only a half-moon, but overexposed here. Film was Kodak 800 max, Camera was M6 with 35/2, @ f2, exposure was somewhere around 5-20 seconds.

Did anyone else go to this afternoon/evening event and get better photos?

Low Tide at Shoreline Park

Sony DSC-D770

Here's one from the archives. It was taken in 2000, when I first got into digital photography.

Portrait of Bryan and Yvonne

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm, SB-28 Flash, Homemade Bounce Card, Stroboframe flip bracket

This was taken during a family portrait session with their entire family (3 generations). You may recall that I posted some pictures from this session before.

They were so happy with this one that they ordered an 11x14 to be mounted and framed for their wall.

Double Image

Nikon D100

This is my Tai Chi teacher, Sifu Frank Soon, doing a sword form with fellow student, Mike, in the background.

I took a few shots of them, but this was the one where their movements matched exactly.

Dumpster Diver in Visalia

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

Down on his luck, or professional scavenger? Maybe a little of both?

What do you think?

I thought that this might work well in B&W. Think so?

From the SB Bart Parking structure

This is why I like film. I can't get these medium resolution, but realistic types of images from digital. Taken with a Leica M4P, with Summicron 35/2, Fuji film, from the 3rd or 4th floor of the bart parking lot structure looking east or southeast.

Halloween in SF

One of the odder outfits in the fin. district. The other photo I have of this guy, he is smiling, but I finally got him to not smile. Taken with a Leica M6 with Summicron 35/2 with Fuji negative film. The sword was real, and we chatted about the Kill Bill replica Hanzo Hattori swords and I asked him if he was a student of this stuff, and he said he had studied kendo for awhile.

Empty Restaurant

This was taken quickly while walking down the street outside of an empty restaurant in downtown Palo Alto near the Borders bookstore. Was snapped with a Fuji f30, 1/6 second, iso 800, f3.4, 58mm equiv. 35mm focal length. Edited in Picasa - cropped, converted to b&w, glow effect added. I think the rest. is called the Mint Leaf.

Happy Belated Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! :D

We were at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle while they were feeding pumpkins to the grizzlies.. I never would've imagined that they would like the taste of pumpkins!



The pouncing bear is kinda cute.... heheh....

Erhu Player

(Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm)

She's an unusual sight, a caucasion woman playing an ancient Chinese instrument amid a sea of Chinese folks.

Here's a wider shot showing her with the group:

Green Lion

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

Clarence (from the archives, circa 1975)

Nikon F2

I scanned this old print of my first cat, Clarence, in order to preserve the image. I don't remember the details anymore, but I'm pretty sure this was taken with my Nikon F2, maybe with a 50mm f1.4. Film was probably Kodak Tri-X, bulk loaded, and developed with D-76. The print was printed by me in my makeshift home darkroom (Bogen enlarger, EL-Nikkor lens).
