Wenatchee, Washington State (Camera: Chinon CP-5s; Film: Kodak Ektar 100 — converted to b&w)

Much later, that camera found its way into my collection and once I got it working again, it delivered some very pleasing results. Continue reading

Up the Lake
Okanagan Lake, B.C. (Camera: Olympus 35RC; Film: Ilford XP2 Super 400)
I saw an on-line “review” of the nifty new Leica black-and-white digital camera last week. The shadow regions were crushed in every one of the accompanying sample images. I thought it was amusing that the same folks who howl with outrage over slightly blown highlights seem to embrace clipped shadows. Personally, I prefer to retain detail at both ends of the luminance range. But clearly that’s a matter of taste.

Cashmere Back Alley
Cashmere, Washington.
(Camera: Olympus Stylus Zoom 80 Wide DLX; Film: Kodak Ektar 100)

Flying With Film – Revised
Juan Santamaria International Airport, San Jose, Costa Rica.
(Camera: Olympus 35RC; Film: Fuji Provia 100F transparency)
Traveling photographers always worry about what might happen to their film when it’s time to go through airport security. And with good reason. X-ray scanners can fog film and ruin your hard-won photos. But how real is the danger, and what can be done to minimize the potential for harm? The game has recently changed and strategies that might have worked in the past may no longer. Continue reading
