Water Shots

Watershots using my Nikon Fe 35mm camera.
I used a 50mm lens while shooting these.  Shot a roll
of film then hopped in the water myself and surfed for a couple hours.

Float

Newport Beach shot with a Nikon fe color film and a nike lite water housing 

This was immediately after getting back from up north.  Waves are small right now should be some swell filling in this weekend though.  The kairos art show is this weekend at the Crossing Church in Costa Mesa. November 16 starts at 8pm come by and check out my display.

Shallow Depth of Field

Both of the following pictures I use a wide open shutter speed to create two different feelings for the images that really brought the images together in the end.

Nature is amazing this is a shot I took while on my get away in Eugene Oregon.  One of my good friends lives there and attends the university and he took me to this awesome forest which is literally 6 minute bike from the campus.  These vines or plants looked so cool and the picture just came together with the pine cone. I chose to shoot a wide open aperture so I could have a shallow depth of field.  I believe this was shot at 1.4 or 2 on my 50mm lens.  As i had hoped it gave the image a mystical feel with the background washed out visions of the same leaves.  

 The below image is also from my Oregon trip.  It is an incense though to me it felt like an artists utensil to the work which surrounded it.  This is taken inside my friends house and I actually relocated the object as to get a backlit scenario.  This lighting was more of a side light but it looked really pleasing through the Venetian blinds.  Once again I shot in an open aperture this time to provide a quite and thoughtful environment.  I then shifted the black n white image to cobalt-gold colour scheme.  I hope you enjoy my photos leave a comment if you wish to ask questions or want to see certain types of images.

Bikes

Took a bike ride through the Oregon wilderness.  35mm nikon Fe more photos from the trip to come.

Skies the Limit

Just Messing Around with my water housing in some small California shore break.  Took this using my Nikon FE and the 1970s water housing I have for it. Soon I hope to try it out in some bigger surf but pretty stoked on how this shot came out if only it was bigger.  Shot with 400 ASA Kentmere Black&White film.

Small House

 

Took this a while back with my Nikon FM.  It was my first roll of color film with that camera.  I'm not sure of the exposure and aperture but I used a handheld light meter to get the correct exposure measuring the highlights and shaw does then choosing an exposure to balance the two.  This is one of my favorite urban shots.  

Today is the anniversary of 9/11, bless all the families that lost a loved one. 

Vast

Taken Somewhere in Central California.  I took this shot with a 35mm Nikon FE coming down the coast on a surfing/ camping trip with one of my other buddies.  We spent 5 nights in 5 different cities and traveled 1500 miles.  Each day we had no clue what we were doing / where we were going.  This picture represents the limitlessness of a road trip.
