This is another roll with a blank frame, possibly due to my camera falling a good foot or so onto the sidewalk. Fortunately is it built like a tank. (Another reason to love older mechanical cameras).
ARTS 2110 - Roll 9 Ilford HP5+ 400
An inversion on a popular theme; these next two photos were taken on my way *from* class. First is Architecture School (I have a similar shot in color somewhere).
1/125 f/11
Second is a tree on Carr's Hill trail.

The lighting on this tree was often very neat during my Russian history lecture... quite distracting, and as you can see by this rather plain-looking photograph of it, this phenomenon did not lend itself to easy capture.

The lighting on this I found neat because it was as if I had an incredible powerful on-camera (specifically just to the right of the camera) flash on the side of Alderman Library. Direct lighting is usually boring, but I thought this was kind of neat because it was naturally occurring. This was me trying to console myself after that tree didn't photograph so well.

I had suggested that I might photograph some rehearsals for "The Boy Friend" with Play On! theater... I almost completely fell through, this event excepted. I was far busier than I could've ever imagined that semester.

This is why lens hoods (and shade in general) are great. In the sun (I applied contrast correction to compensate; it's totally obvious on the contact sheet).

At this point, I stopped taking notes on my exposures; it was slowing me down, and I needed to focus on shooting more.
Versus putting the camera in the shade; much nicer here. At least some of these people are UVa Photo Club volunteers!
A nother neat tree shadow, this time on the Omni. I did a shot or two inside the Omni, but they were on digital, which I had with me at the time because I was covering the Virginia Film Festival. Maybe I'll post those one day.
I think someone else in my class made a photo of the same storefront under renovation. I've heard it's a popular peeve among artists for someone else to claim "Oh, I've taken the same photograph" or something like that, so let me assure you that the photographs were totally different. They always are.
Interior of Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, my number one favorite hangout on the Downtown Mall. This scan showed remarkable detail in shadows, more than I put in the print. Pam suggested I print this because it was so different from most of my work; it went in my final portfolio. One downside of bracing a TLR on the table is that one must constantly compensate for parallax; the lens that takes the picture is always lower than the one you look through and often sees much more of the table than the scene; I think I stuffed some cards or something underneath it to tilt it upwards.
I may like this one even more than the previous one, though it's a lot busier. It's very "street" or journalistic, and though the obvious center of the photo is the waitress carrying the tray, it's focused on the patrons, and the approaching waitress completes the composition. If I'd had more time, I'd have printed this.
