Photograph and Camera talk

@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.

@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.

Dinking around with the new camera over the past few weeks when able. I was very hesitant to get this camera because of the new metering method compared to the ones I had which were just like the original film versions, but I might be completely converted on it now. It's been doing such an excellent job with the metering that I rarely need to adjust the exposure. Makes me half wonder if I should have gone for an M11D now.... Oh, and I charged it up on the ~25th and the battery is still around 70% after many hours of walking with it turned on and ~100 shots. Fantastic camera that will be with me for a very long time.

@pechelman meant to comment when you posted your new camera, but that is a dream camera you have and these photos are beautiful with it.

@pechelman For “dinking around” makes me question ever picking up a camera. Outstanding and can’t wait to see what you do with it!!

Thanks guys. I've been shooting for a long while but feel like I've lost a bit of my vision and inspiration and have mostly only done photography on trips for the past ~8 years. Getting back into casual, more everyday shooting feels good.

@pechelman Really enjoyed them especially the last one. Currently going through a photography lull as well. Going to Florida on Wednesday to visit my son,and plan on bringing a camera. Maybe something will peak my interest.

Thanks, @Jett129 .

That last one in particular was a good kick in the ass for me as to why I should carry a camera more often. We passed this sign on the way back home not more than ~45mins later and the little note was wiped away.

Enjoy your trip and hope you come back with some good shots!

@pechelman When I was just getting photography,I had a really wonderful photography mentor,and the only condition he gave me in order for him to work with me was that I can never say...I wish I'd had my camera. I,for one, am glad you took that shot,as the other age old adage is...We miss 100% of the shots we don't take.

a couple more to share. I guess it shows that I'm pertty tired of winter. And I wish I could take credit for the timing on the shot with the pigeon landing, but it was coming in totally obscured by the camera & lens when I released the shutter, but I'll take it.
