Wine Bar

Wine Bar

This is the tasting room of the Port Townsend Vineyards. I have a glass of wine very few months … the acid bothers my stomach if I have it more often. But I like the old building the tasting room is in and this day I was trying to shoot the last of a roll of film in a Rolleiflex twin lens that I had just acquired. It’s a wonderful camera, if you don’t mind the total manual operation. Great image quality, for sure.

When I went in, I was expecting to get an interesting shot or two of the Port Townsend Bay, visible out the tasting rook windows or deck. Instead, I got a photo of the bar.

The Backside of Buildings

The Backside of Buildings

This is downtown Seattle near the ferry terminal. The buildings are all facing 1st Avenue … I liked the fire escapes. This was taken with a Holga (a cheap plastic film camera) and Portra 400. The single element plastic lens (like the old Kodak Brownies) does okay in the middle of the image, but gets a little blurry as you go to the edges.

Never Shoot into the Sun

Never Shoot into the Sun

Certain times of the year you can get shots of the sun setting directly at the end of Water Street (‘main street’ Port Townsend). You aren’t supposed to shoot into the sun, because you get those lens flares and such (the big circle in the lower center). Don’t follow rules and you get better photos (sometimes).
