@weftyarn Stunning!

Love that last shot @weftyarn. Did you consider cropping it a little tighter horizontally?

[weftyarn]

thanks guys!
@pechelman I haven’t tried but now that you’re asking…

[pechelman]

I love it like this @weftyarn. Personally I also like how the kids are almost totally crushed in the shadows and almost silhouettes. Reminds me a bit of Koudelka.

Finally got some recent-ish rolls back and scanned. This weekend the photo group I’m apart of did a field trip via Amtrak to Durham, NC for the day. Stoked to get the roll back from that. But, for now, here’s some fall goodness including a day trip down to north GA to see my best friend compete in a power lifting event. Color photos shot in the Leica M5 with Gold 200, and the b/w was on my Nikon point and shoot with Rollei RPX 400

Lovely!

@seawolf thank you! One of my goals for the last couple of years has been anytime I’m going to visit or see them that I have at least my point and shoot. I’ve had too many digital photos go the way of dead hard drives over the last 20 years of our trips and antics, that having negatives seems like the only appropriate to ensure I have our memories preserved.

Very cool images @seawolf

[seawolf]

@alexxedge Thanks! Just some amateur shots for a class assignment. Shot with a DSLR in full-manual mode. It was a really sunny day, so I was doing my best with the blasting sun and trying to make use of it.

[alexxedge]

@seawolf the third and fourth images in the first set are killer. That building is incredible looking, too.

[seawolf]

@alexxedge Thank you so much! This is the Geisel Library at the University of California San Diego campus, which is named after Theodore Geisel. If that name doesn't sound familiar, maybe this image will give you a hint. He was from Massachusetts, but he lived and died in San Diego.

@seawolf The Geisel Library and the Salk Institute are two gems. I don't think I could ever get bored of looking at them through a camera lens.

@seawolf Just curious,What was the assignment. I once had a photography assignment where you had to imagine shooting through the eyes of an insect. Probably not this.

[seawolf]

@Jett129 We had to photograph a building with an architectural photography style.

@derek111 You're not kidding! The library was a little intimidating at first because it's so big, and there's so much to work with. Once I dove in, the shots started taking themselves.

Combining a couple of my favorite things. Here’s some photos of the first soak of my IH-9634z. Didn’t have any film loaded up, so got these with my Fuji x100s.
