Double Exposures (Film)

Double Exposure 1

In a previous blog I referred to the camera I was given by a friend: a Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20. One of the features of this camera is that there is a locking mechanism on the shuttle release that you need to rotate to allow the shuttle to operate. It doesn’t automatically reset, though, you have to rotate the shutter lock back in order to protect from double exposures. Of course, that is not the way of modern cameras … so as I was getting used to it, I forgot to wind the film before taking the next image (once or twice). So, these were unintentional … I like #1 though. #2, not so much.

Views at the Marina (620 film)

Marina View 1

These photos were taken with a “new camera”: a Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20 that a friend gave to me. The camera was made from 1940 to 1954 and it was his mother’s first camera. The Six-20 part of the name reflects the film used. 620 film is currently available as a handrolled option. The 620 film spool is a slightly different size than the more standard 120… but it is close enough to the right size to allow the film to be unwound from a roll of 120 and wound onto a 620 spool (in the dark, of course). Thankfully, there are companies that will do that for you these days. This was Kodak Portra 400.

Shown are views of the Point Wilson Marina in Port Townsend. It is currently under renovation-construction with some dredging and additional work to replace some of the infrastructure. There’s usually lots of boats … so sorta strange to see it empty.

Nevada Skies

Nevada Skies 1

These are more shots from Fort Churchill State Park, Nevada. (see previous post) These images are more about the sky and clouds than the ruins of the old fort. I was lucky enough to visit just as a storm was blowing across the Sierra Nevada … lucky for photography, not so lucky with strong winds blowing dust and dirt.

Cedarville, California

Cedarville, California

The Cressler and Bonner building in Cedarville is one of the original buildings in the area. The area being in the northeast corner of California in Surprise Valley. I was cutting through on my way into northwest Nevada and was surprised to find this nice little farming community.
