Symmetry Docks

Here’s one of the images taken with the Vermeer Pinhole Camera this month. A view of the docks on a nearby lake.

This is Kodak Tri-X 400 film, 120 size. Pinhole images have that dreamy feel to them, as they’re not quite sharp. This one was made around dawn. More to follow.

Kodak Tri-X 320

Boxes of Kodak’s venerable Tri-X 320 in 4×5 arrived recently. It’s time to load this film into the holders and get out with the Wista SP for some large format photography.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made images with this gear. Results to follow, subject to change, and always something of a surprise. Will post as things develop.

TMax 3200 at the record shop.

I exposed some TMax 3200 recently. Came out okay. I need to sharpen my eye, but the film itself works very well at night. Of course, it’s grainy, that’s the point. Nonetheless, I like the look.

This exposure was scanned and tweaked in Lightroom. Again, came out okay, but needs a better perspective.

Railroad Sunset (Hasselblad, Ektachrome)

Way back in 2002, I was taking photographs with a marvelous Hasselblad 202FA equipped with an equally impressive Zeiss lens. I got lucky late one afternoon when this scene evolved in a rail yard at sunset:

Ektachrom V100S captured the moment in stunning color, exactly as it was. There is no “photoshop” work done on this photo; it was simply scanned from the original slide. I miss that Ektachrome and the camera. Sometimes the results astounded me.
