Kayakers in the Fish Ladder

Second Photo Shoot on the Potomac

I posted a lot of pictures but I was caught up in catching the kayakers on both sides of the river. I shot about 100 pictures of them (3 frames per second) in two spots. Their leader is age 67, and apparently he doesn't understand that he is old.

This post is a little late, but I've been shooting film this fall. I wanted to try my father-in-law's camera, a 1999 Xpan 1, but I also wanted to discipline myself to intentionality in my photograph. I have a tendency with my digital camera to shoot away. With the film camera, I'm limited to a roll or two an outing (which with the panoramic camera means about 20 shots on a roll of 36 film, since the panoramic film makes a double-wide negative of 24x65 instead of 24x36), so I have to think through my shots more than before. In addition, there's no immediate feedback, so I have to to get the shots right before I take them. Finally, because the scanning is expensive, I have to pick only a few to digitize. There are upsides to this -- it is really slowing me down in the field and -- unexpectedly -- getting me to think about the photo sites in advance much more. Here are the first results: Xpan 1 with Kodak Ektar film.

Oct. 21 Photos from Niji

This first day was rather difficult for me. I was using a camera unfamiliar to me. Everything was so dark at the start of the day. But I eventually found my way. For learning and trying new things, this was a very successful day for me.
