January 28th, 2008 Fantastic Four

Continuation from the third roll, the fourth was also shot at Fern Ridge reservoir.

Towards the end of the “shoot,” we wandered over towards the playground equipment and took some interesting shots.

I’ve decided to keep using the school’s EOS Elan 7, and the recommended TMax 400 film for the foreseeable future (for the purposes of this class). I didn’t like how my Rebel K2 winds all the film and exposes it in reverse.

January 27th, 2008 Once, Twice, Three Times a Maybe

Working my way though these photos for class. I need to pick 6 to print I think. I feel I’ve got quite a few interesting ones, but narrowing down which ones fit in the context of the assignment may be tricky. We’ll see.

This is the third roll, and the first in a series of 2 rolls taken near the Fern Ridge Reservoir in west Eugene. David and I wandered around, and climbed up an embankment. Took pictures of small animal skeletons on the ground, of the horizon, and birds in the sky, among other things. What do you think?

These were all taken with the EOS Elan 7 using TMax 400 film.

January 25th, 2008 Roll Film…

I just remembered a quote I got in my e-mail after that first roll of film. Makes a joke about the pain of film processing…

I said: “Most of mine are on strips of light sensitive celluloid… er.. film, which I have to develop myself, so I don’t have anything to look at yet.”

Mike replied: “You might try some Preparation “C” on those sensitive celluloids. Just apply liberally to your F Stop and wait a few hours.”

Here’s my 2nd roll of film. A little misleading, I’ve been using 2 cameras, and I started this roll first, but it was the last (of 4 so far) to get finished, developed and scanned. Same deal as before, side image to view the rest of the album, or squares to see the individual images.
