Dug deep into my archives to find some Kodachrome 25 shots from 1983 of the Wilson Arch in Utah. Taken with a Pentax MESuper and either a 17mm fisheye SMC or 20mm über-side SMC. Scanned with a Plustek OptiScan 8200i and converted to b&w with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2. Comments welcome!

Was looking for a way to utilize a pair of trek poles for use as a tripod while out in the boonies. Came up with this contraption for about half an hours' work. I call it the TrekPod. Parts needed: A small piece of 1/2-thick wood, a 1/4x20 machine bolt and nut, a short piece of paracord, a...

Who can turn down free software?!?! https://www.on1.com/dl/22/?utm_campaign=PEFree_2016-04&utm_source=Master

Been wanting to do something like this for years. Finally decided it was time. Set up a bunch of the family 'old stuff', including my vintage Kodak 3A folder. Taken with a Nikon D600 with Tair 135/2.8 @ f/22. ISO 640 with 18 1/4-power burst from a Nikon S600 speedlight spread across my...

Had some great spring weather the other night, so headed out for 3 hours of pounding the pavement doing some street shooting. Had b&w in mind.

Managed to sneak in a little time today dodging the snowflakes and fire off a few quick test shots using The Stack.... my spiffy new Nikkor 200-500 with my 1.4 vII TC... on my D7100. 100% crop: 700mm (1050mm equiv.) ISO 500 1/160sec f/11 Handheld

It was totally ethereal. Unreal. Yet real. I was sitting at my desk, doing some work on the computer. I thought I heard a bell ringing. Then a slight tingling sensation in my left breast. I stopped working. And oddly, I never did continue my task. I then heard voices. Familiar...

Managed to snag some ascorbic acid this morning... haven't been able to find any locally for months now. But with some in hand now, resumed my project of shooting some old Kodachrome and developing it in caffenol. I just fired off 6 frames to test the solution, and the ascorbic acid sure makes...

Bored to death today, so decided to get a project started. Problem: Organize the various tools I use to repair lenses. Solution: Make a 'wrap' out of some light canvas, like the old-fashioned kind woodworkers use to roll up chisels n such. Layout: Lining up: Pockets sewn up: Sew on...

And why am I being Thanked for it?

Well.......... not in a row. But at least every other year! I normally refuse to do portrait work, but I've made one exception. That being my neighbor's 5 grandkids. Since they all know me and are comfortable around me, I was aksed to take some pix back in 2009. I started working with the...

Had to buy new software that's capable of outputting 4k. Enjoy!

Spied an opportunity yesterday to take an unusual angle of something most would never even notice. So I waited for the right time of day to return to the scene.

Took a short walk through the sticks this morning, and came across a small stream crossing. As the leaves were falling, I managed to capture some of them as they floated towards me. Comments welcome!

Decided it's time for a break, and played hookie yesterday. Was a perfect day to go out and shoot. Spent some time on the east side of the city, where there's an eclectic collection of old and new buildings.

....to get a good seat for watching (and recording with a drone) this:

Had the opportunity today to spend some serious time in what was a small-engine repair shop. It's part of a job I'm working on where the owner of the business has died, and I was hired to bring the wiring up to code. While working yesterday, I started looking around and noticed that, even for...
