Waiting for a Ferry — Watching a Sunset

Edmonds Ferry Terminal

Recently was taking the Edmonds ferry over to Kingston (Washington) to get home after visiting friends in the Seattle area. One of those times when we just missed getting on a ferry and had to wait (only little over 1/2 hour). The advantage was that we were waiting on the dock instead of back in the holding area. This let me walk around, enjoy the pleasant evening and take some photos of the sunset. The individual that is silhouetted standing on the top of the ramp was a ferry worker and I was unable to access that spot, but they provided a nice human interest touch to the image.

Both images taken with a Pentax 645N on Portra 400 color film.

Still Life Kayak

Still Life Kayak

This is a photo that I took years ago on a trip to Bowron Lakes Provincial Park (BC) with a couple friends, one of whom was paddling a kayak. This was shot at a campsite halfway down Isaac Lake. I have always thought it was a nice photo … but for some reason I have never done anything much with it. So with some of the new AI tools to improve resolution and reduce noise, I decided to do a print and post it here on my blog.

Point Wilson

Point Wilson Lighthouse

Point Wilson is located in Port Townsend within the boundaries of Fort Worden State Park and sits on the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets Puget Sound, an area also known as Admiralty Inlet. The buildings are in need of repair … badly needed paint and the repair of other damage due to years in the weather. Below is a shot just a few feet away, on the beach, showing a lean-to that has also fallen into disrepair. No one is collecting money for the repair of the lean-to.

These shots were taken with my Pentax 643N using Portra 400 film.

Two Shots from the Same Spot

Beach, Looking West

These are both shots taken from the same spot on the beach at Fort Worden State Park. I just turned 90 degrees and faced south for the second shot. I was shooting Portra 400 film with my Pentax 645N. With the shot below, I exposed for the clouds and sky and the foreground was completely in shadow. I tried to ‘recover’ the details in the shadows, but it quickly became full of speckled grains … and we aren’t talking sand grains. With a digital camera, the shot below could easily have been adjusted to show normal looking details in the shadows. The technology we have these days is wonderful.

Boat Trailers for Sale

Boat Trailers for Sale

These used trailers made a nice study of lines and shapes.

This is another image that was taken with a roll of film where I thought I had used color and it was B&W. I tried to return and reshoot with a digital camera, but they were moved around and it wasn’t as visually interesting. This is next to the Port Hudson Marina in Port Townsend.
