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.
This is a photo that shows that I like about the town I live in now. Port Townsend has a nice lighthouse, a ferry terminal and a rich history of maritime industries. Plus great views and lovely weather. All things that I enjoy and look forward to now that we are getting into springtime. Yay Spring!!!!
This photo was taken from the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island. I used my Pentax 645N film camera and Kodak Portra 400 color print film. Yes, I’m still shooting on film some … although most of my photography is digital. I was pretty amazed with the cloud pattern. It was even better in real life.
This is the Coupeville Ferry Terminal and I was catching the ferry on my way home to Port Townsend, WA. I take photos of crepuscular rays whenever I get a chance … this one has an interesting difference between the left and right sides.
In the photo above, please note the band of low cloud (fog) along the shore of Whidbey Island across Puget Sound from the Port Townsend waterfront. We had the fog earlier, but it had burned off hours ago. I was surprised there was still some left across the way. The snowy peak is Mt Baker, the northern most of the Cascade volcanoes.
Below the new walkway on the top of the new breakwater at Hudson Point Marina, a great spot to watch the ferry come and go.
