ARTS 2110 - Roll 5 - Ilford HP5+ 400
On my way back from a guest lecture (near Architecture School) from photographer Tim Davis, who explained that "the camera is the ultimate slut; whatever you point it at, it will say, 'Oh, yeah! That looks great!' The camera doesn't care what it is."
1/60 f/2.8 (?)
Waiting for takeout, longish exposure braced on the table. The food was only okay... much like the photo.

It rained a lot over the semester, and I was more nervous taking the Mamiya TLR out in the rain (especially since it's so large and uses a waist-level finder which can get rained in easily.) I was determined to do at least a couple shots in rain though. Here, I was protected by the covered bicycle parking area in the Brown quad.

I followed this man for a minute or so before he was still enough to take his picture (my Mamiya TLR is not a quick camera to use). That hat was too cool not to photograph.

There's that wall again; this one was in my final portfolio. This wall is just great; there are some shots of it in color which I'll post later.

Here's the shot that echoed the carpet... extreme closeup on moss. Unfortunately it was so hard to frame and make the exposure that the end result is kinda lame.

I grabbed a takeout tray from Runk Dining Hall and took a place outside the stadium for Muse, which was the opener. I got this neat view of Bono's personal spider-shaped starship.

I stood next to this guy and I sort of forgot what we talked about, but I remember him saying that he had never used a computer, which he remarked must be a rarity nowadays. He said something about my camera being really complicated, I think, but my camera is probably over 30 years old. Note the upside-down filter flare. HP5+ isn't Acros (though it is 2 stops faster), and my efforts to pull shadow detail out of this photo end up pulling a lot of grain/noise with it. You can only underxpose by so much, after all. This might be one of those photos that wouls look better printed than scanned... if I could cope with spotting all that dust out.

My take on the hundreds of fans with camera-phones and small digital cameras (which for some reason no one can figure out how to turn the flash off on them). Note that this picture is not actually any good either. Exposed slightly better... partially an illusion from the massive flare off that light.

More flare. It was very hard to kneel low enough to get the moon in.

Parking garage under John Paul Jones arena... highlights pulled in a lot. Compare this with one shot on color slide film to realize the exposure latitude problems that slide film presents. It's in a more recent post.

Bonus: This is a preview of my current project; trying to build a scanner camera. There are a couple of ways to do this; I'm just trying to do the easiest way I've seen, and it's been pretty tricky so far. Update: This project is tabled for now; the scanner remains at my parents' house.
