ilford is ill

i don’t know if it was the scanner or the processing, but each of these pictures has it own tone, depending on the lighting. i’m tending to think it was the film. i *must* remember which ilford this was, because it plus my lc-a was pure love. compare these to some slide film i shot on the same day that was crossprocessed, and came out crummy. i learned a little about shooting on an extremely sunny day, and crossprocessing (at least from slide). basically — you may not want to do it. i need to read up more on this.
ah the joys of learning by experience.
the scanner is here!

the epson perfection 3200 has arrived. i’m still picking up on it. i haven’t scanned slides/transparencies in years. i recall how important it is to have good negatives (i.e. pristine).
i’m also trying to find a good setting that doesn’t make my 35mms look so fuzzy. the holga scans have come out quite true to what i’m expecting though.
speaking of–my first roll of holgas were pretty bad–the spool was so loose. i remember picking back up the camera and finding that the counter was in between numbers! ack. 4 out of a 16 roll came out OK.
some of these have interesting effects though.

lensday 5.3.05: metal
brother in the woods
When it comes to taking pictures, i think i need to stick to the city. i’m not used to being in “nature”, much less taking pictures of it. that being said, i need to make a point to make it out here more, though.
the trip to Rainier National Park was wonderful. we didn’t get going until around 12:30p.m., and it was overcast along the way, then the clouds pushed away (thanks) and made way for the sun to shine through, just about the time we came around the corner of the first lookout point of rainier (at least on our road). joy’s father started flipping (i did too, OK), and we *had* to stop & shoot, in spite of the fact that the ladies reallly had to go.
speaking of going, my boy is recently getting into being potty trained, and apparently felt very free in the woods, as he’d have his pants down nearly every stop for an alleged pee break.
i was quite upset the first 50 pix or so were spent shooting with a lens that had a crazy amount of dust on it. i’m thankful for the D70 “Mirror Lock-Up” mode.
i really enjoyed sharing The Rainier Experience for the first time with everyone (joy & the kids had gone before, but it was so cloudy that they didn’t even see Rainier!)
There was snow on the way up and everything! talk about the heavens declaring His handiwork. It was fun to slosh through the snow in my sandals and socks (way to pick footwear self).
i have a few 35mm holga shots, and some lomo lc-a shots (color & B+W) — i’m hoping for the best.
thanks Yahweh, and thanks fam for the fun. i’m still taking it in.
and big ups to the cat i met out there, jeff, for sharing his business card, and not minding that i was shooting him shooting….D70 fo’ life!
and here’s to the couple i shot get back to me so i can show them how great they came out!
and here’s to 1200 pictures in my photo stream! to a dj, this is a significant number. ;)
fun!
off to rainier with the in-laws! woohoo!
(yes, i really *do* love them:)
