Fuji Superia 200 – Ink, Yarn & Beer

Alone

Nothing like a wide, flat beach, fog, and no one around.

Actually, that wasn’t true, but the beach was lonely and unpopulated. I was accompanied by my Evil Twin, and we had a delightful day!

Portrait of a Dog

On one of my usual trips to the local botanical garden, I brought along one of our dogs. I usually bring Smudge. Here she is, in a very doggy pose and looking quite lovely.

Self Shadow

I do all I can to keep my face off the internet – but I guess a shadow is okay!

Hollyhocks! I have a few coming up, but not like these. There is a garden in our neighborhood which is one of my faves to visit when out on a walk. I spoke with the lady of the house about it one day, and she said, “I just throw extra seeds over the fence.” Well, she might, but whatever she does, it works!

Film

Lately I am shooting a lot of film. Hopefully I will be processing some once I master the Lab-Box, first in black and white, and then later in color if I find the frustration level not frustrating!

Anyway, here are a few pictures taken with my N90s and 60mm macro lens, which I dropped, but do not seem to have damaged either. The film here is Fuji Pro 400H, which is great for color.

If you take a look at the camera in the pictures above, you will see it is a Contax IIIa ca. 1953. It has a rather amazing lens, a Zeiss-Opton Sonnar 50mm f1.5. It’s sharp and lovely when I nail it. Being a rangefinder and a new-to-me camera, I am still learning to “get” the focus. The following images were taken using the camera along with Fuji Super 200. Some pictures I did with the Sunny 16 rule, a light meter, or the suggestions from the camera’s readout.
