Took 3 shots of this scene. One with each camera (cell, Minox 35, z1). This one is from the w810i cell. You can see the Minox 35 and the z1 shots in my jpeg mag page.

Street Photography with 2 cameras

Today was a great day for street photography. The day was sunny and pleasant. It seams that everybody was out and about. The Pike place market was shoulder to shoulder giving a lot of opportunity for street photography. In the market I was mainly using the Minox 35 EL with B&W film but also had with me the digital Fujifilm Z1 which allowed me to get this shot with the 3 x zoom. I bump into this girl while having lunch and later on at pikes market so I had to take her picture. She looked great on that skirt. I like her style. On this photograph I love that the street sign reflects on the hood of the car as a marker of the location.

The Minox 35 EL works nicely

It took Rite Aid people 3 hr to figure out how to develope the ilford XP2 Super ASA 400 B&W C41. But finally they did. The camera works great, I need to learn to us it to get better candid / street photographs (the camera is very quiet).

Here is a sample shot that show the potential boken that can be had with this nice lense (it is underexpose due to a photographer error.)

Rite Aid Screw ups

I will have to wait until tommorow to see how the Minox 35 EL is working because Rite Aid screw up and had not touch my film after 2 hr. Talk about 1 hr processing, yeah right.

Good Photography Books

These two books are very good photography books. The first one is great if you want to learn all the technical aspect of lighting. It is almost written from an engineer perspective. The second one is great for planing photography trips in the Seattle Area.

Mountaineers Photo Class - 1st Day

Today I went to the "get to know your camera" workshop mainly to pickup the field events information since I missed the 1st Thursday because of the artwalk. It was definitively good that I went to the artwalk because the 1st day of the class was too basic. Rick kept the book a side for me as promise and Today I plan to go to the first field event.
