Food, Flowers and Faces

Just downloaded my latest rolls of film from Richard Photo Lab! I've been photographing food again lately, and I have to say that it is one of my favorite subjects. Flowers are always a favorite as well, and I'm getting more and more comfortable photographing people as well. These were all taken over the last month, mostly medium format. I've been using all different types of film lately and won't know which shots are which until I get my negatives back from next week. I can say that 2, 3 and 4 are digital taken with Canon EOS XS and 50mm macro lens at f/2.8 and 1/60, and 10 and 11 are 35mm, Fuji Pro 400H taken with Canon EOS 630 and Mamiya 150mm lens at f/4.0 and 1/250 (all cropped to 6x4.5 to match the others).

Independence Day Weekend 2011: Baseball, Brats, and Burst of Light

We had a very relaxing 4th of July this year, probably because festivities were split up over 3 days. Saturday we took in a baseball game, Sunday we grilled, and Monday I trudged down to Iwo Jima to watch the fireworks and get some pics. The fireworks pics didn't come out as well as I'd hoped. It was my first time, I tried too many long  and multiple exposures, and the cable release I ordered didn't function so I was holding the shutter open manually. A few of them were interesting nonetheless, but I'm sure I'll do much better next year.
