Both of these were taken on Kodak Tri-X film, but with different cameras. The top one with a Leica M-3 and the bottom with a Holga plastic camera. The Leica is an older camera, but very well made and with an exquite lens. The Holga is a ‘modern’ camera … but cheap, made of plastic with a plastic lens. There are noticeable image quality differences, but both are interesting images. The “lesson” is that it isn’t the camera that makes an interesting photo.
A slightly different post today. Just a few photos I have taken over the years of cats that I lived with.
While I was going through my image library to find images to share in this weeks posts, I came across this photo of a pond in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge outside of Olympia, WA. It made me think of a certain reflecting pool and the struggles of people attempting to control the algal growth. That made me smile. I hope it does you too.
Paintbrush may not be the most exotic wildflower in a mountain meadow, but it is one of my favorites.
This variety of lupine tends to grow along shorelines … it doesn’t seem to be bothered by a salty environment. I thought it was a nice flower until a friend with a background in botany pointed out it is an invasive species.
