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.
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.
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.
Creative B&W Photography

Since I’ve taken to the hobby of photography, I thought I might take another photography class (the last one I took was in 2002). I also thought I might start posting the photos here on my blog. To liven things up a bit, I’ll post some highlights of one roll of film at a time.
Click the larger image to the right to see the album, or the square thumbnails to see a larger version of that photograph.
This first roll was taken at “the pond” where we waterski here in Eugene.
A little excitement
02/28/07, 13:57
I know I wrote on Monday about apathy consuming me. A bit of excitement has canceled that out the last day or so. When I was in Vegas for the Western Region Waterski meeting, I noticed an e-mail regarding a “student web-programming job”. That particular weekend was very busy and hectic, so I didn’t reply at the time, and it took me a few days to fully recover before the next weekend vacation. And, well, I just got around to inquiring about it yesterday afternoon.
Long story short, they asked me at 11:30pm last night to come in for an interview today at 10:30am. I also know they’ve been looking through my website, so I won’t say anything more.
*fingers crossed*
