my first lith printing
spent a whole night trying the new to me lith printing and got a few images that I like, here is one of them.
brass lens picture
This picture was taken with a very old brass lens, I can't make out what is engraved on the lens. But from the picture I know it's a Petzval type lens because the swirl in the background. It's barely cover 4X5 format and has a F4 max aperture.
5 pointz graffiti 2
Very interesting place in Queens, close to Manhattan. In a two block area, filled with graffiti from different artist. Some of them really are breath taking. Of course you have to add in the rumbling subway and smelly back alley to compete the typical new york feel to it :)
hanging from top of the Lock
This is a segment of old Lock.
road in rain
First try with my newly acquired Zeiss Ikon Nettax. This picture was taken with Kodak 400 TMY film.
Under pass
Took this one in an outing to Central Park, NYC with a group of LF users. A lot fun.
Calla Lily
Another practice with flowers. I really like them. No plant is harmed during the picture taking:)
Summer Roses
It was a very hot day, the light was very harsh, this is the only picture I like in a roll that I took that day.
cheers!
It has been a while since my last post. Here is one from Jones beach airshow
light wave
I try to focue on the light reflection in the water, but it was too dark to focus, this one was my guess, a little bit soft.
woman with umbrella
Same night as the one before, shot with lens wide open.
Sparkling Night
Rainy night, my kind of weather. Went out to try my Oly SPn to see how it performs, from the pictures I got I'd say it's pretty good, except the lens got quite a few rain drops on it caused some unwanted reflection. Have to try it again at dry night.
subway musician
I saw a lot of this kind of performers in the subway, some are good some are bad, this one is good, and the instrument looks almost new.
Aloe
try some indoor photo with controled light
portrait of a tree
The flowers look like floating in the wind. I use shallow DOF on my 4X5 camera to achieve the effect I wanted. I have to tile the lens a little bit to get most of the flowers in focus.
daily grind
This one was taken on a work day around 5pm, the sun is setting and people start to leave their jobs to go home. The long shadow cast by the sun caught my eye, it made me think the daily life in NYC, and how hard people worked. The shadow added a tired and helpless feeling to the image. I took quite a few shots, this one turn out to be the one I am happy with.
central park lawn
This is my first roll of T-Max 100, the grain is very fine. The print I got back from the lab is on RC paper. Kind of like the tone.
foggy night
Prey there is no care coming. Auto exposure with my OM2n.
NYC night line
Count the dot in the sky to see how long the exposure is for this photo:)
wind scape
The cloud is a bit distracting, is it?
lonely chair
Did I say it was very cold? Lucky me the camera is still working!
tree by a creek
This one was taken with a old Kodak folding camera. Lens looks crapy and shutter is not working properly. I were surprised by how many details this image has.
