Photography

only 2tb? slacker...

 

Haha it's a hobby

 

yep. from your pic, it's up the hill on the north side of 8.

 

so, somehow, i pulled a stupid in moscow and loaded 3 out of 4 rolls backwards.

so, so, so bummed. i had some great street scenes on the 3 rolls that i blew. silver lining, i'll be headed back in a week. anyway, i just got the scans back from the surviving roll. thought about putting them into my moscow thread but there's no story with these, except whatever you make in your head, so i'm putting them here.

shot on ilford hp5, hasselblad 500cm with 80mm lens. film still rules and the image quality from this camera is like nothing else. medium format helps quite a bit as there is a feeling and depth you do not get with 35mm.

 

Very interesting. I like the giant turnbuckles used to suspend the roadway in the pic featured here.
Good job ~ looking forward to the next installment.

 

We called those 'sun dogs' in Kansas.

 

Great pictures Don.

 

great macros @Hammerhead

 

I was recently bit by the photography bug. Right now just playing around with truck pics. Shot this with a Nikon Z7 a couple evenings ago.

 

From a shot I did for a brand. Guys my freaking Lightroom membership ran up today will prob re purchase a years worth in the next few days. Anyone have any coupon codes lol. Couldn't edit this one so its just RAW kinda blurry too

 

Up Big Cottonwood Canyon about a week and a half ago.

 

Beethoven the Owl ~ San Diego Zoo Safari Park​

 

that name will never work for me. it will always be wild animal park for me.

 

So who does profesional photography in SoCal? Got an event coming up this year that I’ll be needing some one.

 

moscow randoms from earlier this week. 7 rolls of 120 film just went out to the lab. images from those rolls and stories will be in the moscow thread soon.

ministry of foreign affairs. one of stalin's seven sisters.



i am completely enamored with the moscow metro. every station has a different architecture and design. all of them beautiful.



pigeon and the metro



monument to the fighters of the 1905 revolution conveniently located on 1905 Street.

sunrise at the airport



looks like an early morning flight but, it wasn't. sunrise is at 9am in the winter. sun sets at 4. the days are short.

 

i know a few people. send me the details and i'll see who i connect you with.

 

Wild Animal Park (WAP) certainly rolls off the tongue lots easier for me as well.
Recently the name was changed and I always have to stop and think before I can come up with the current nomenclature . . .

​

 

I LOVE it ~ how lucky are you in visiting Moscow ! Thanks for sharing . . .

 

it was my third trip and is now one of my favorite cities in the world. fascinating place.

 

still waiting on film to come back. probably going to be end of the week. i should start developing myself again and look into scanners... anyway, a couple of other randoms from moscow.

 

so, yesterday, @drobb got me motivated to dig through the archives for some old surf stuff. i put a few images in the photo of the day thread but decided to bring a few more over here.

i'm an adrenaline junkie and the surf photography had been a great fix for that. much to my wife's dismay, i've always had a propensity for putting myself and my cameras into high risk situations. these are from a big high tide back wash day. there was something about how the water moved that made me want to be there in the middle of it. sizable surf, shallow water, lots of rocks and too much fun.















falling tide, sunset glass off. always loved these moments.

 

few more surfy surfy stuff.

these are from the 2nd biggest day i can remember living in socal. spent the afternoon driving up and down the coast between la jolla and north county. the cove was breaking 25+. those of you from the area know how big it has to be for that to happen.













orange county. many many moons ago. bethany hamilton showing the boys how it's done. watching her surf was always an awesome experience.

 

I will contribute..
back when I had a NASCAR media pass...

 

@smslavin.... What year were the large swell pics? I grew up in the OB/ Sunset Cliffs area.... you could stand on the cliffs and feel the surf when it was really big. Great pics!!!!

 

'07. the only other time i had seen it that big was maybe '85 or '86. i'll see what else i can find.

 

film is still awesome. always will be.

dillen and piper are need of new headshots for some auditions they have this week. so, that gives me an excuse to screw around... didn't totally clean these up though. just quick edits.







and piper had to jump in too...
