ARTS 2110 - Roll 7 - Ilford HP5+ 400
A pile of umbrellas outside Scott Stadium; security doesn't allow them in. Presumably for the rather obvious (and prudent) issue of poking people in the eye by accident.
1/125 f/4
This is again a pretty heavy crop, but a better shot of a squirrel this time. A lot of these shots are cropped from the original negatives, whether to crop in on the detail for these low-res web versions, to improve the composition (working with a square composition is tough) or because I couldn't get close enough at the time (there are no zoom lenses for this camera, not that I'm a big fan of zoom lenses anyway).

My dad. I could not for the life of me get this to print right (at the time, at least). It came out way too light and low-contrast, and once my prints dried, they had already started to brown (presumably from being under-fixed). You can see from the digital version too, even in Photoshop I had a lot of difficulty getting contrast into it; it still feels flat and muddy. I could punch it up and lose the highlights (but it was cloudy so the sky ought to be grey), and crush the shadows, but I think that ended up looking not as good. Bottom line: partially an exposure problem (possibly caused by flare on my light meter or more likely lens flare on the exposure from backlighting).

This butterfly was already dead, near Ruffin Hall and Culbreth. My dad blocked the wind so it didn't move while I made its picture.

This is still too grey; looking up at an overpass between two buildings on the Downtown Mall.

Newcomb Hall 4? An antenna outside the game room which I managed to front-focus on very slightly, getting the bricks instead. It was okay, but I think I ultimately stuck it from my final portfolio.

I managed to get fantastically sharp focus on these plants (weeds?) in front of the student memorial between Newcomb Hall and Clemons Library. I was probably on my way to or from work; I often carried my camera then (whereas otherwise I usually left it at home) and rarely found occasion to use it, going pretty much the same path every day.
