I take pictures sometimes. All photos that I post were taken by me (unless it's a repost, obviously). Message me to talk about photography! :)

Just picked up a Mamiya C220 and officially diving into medium format film! Camera looks to be in solid working shape, and I’ve already watched a few videos to get started. Any tips from folks who’ve shot with one before?

Got a great view of this grizzly bear with my 500mm lens.

Missing the spring warmth, but love that the summer heat is finally on its way out. Going to be sharing a series over the next couple of weeks of my favorite photos from the Red Butte Garden this Spring. I hope you enjoy them :)

Don't tell my landlord...

I switched out the cheap faucet for an actually nice usable one 😁

Locked eyes with this Great Horned Owl.

The detail in the feathers and the intense stare made this one of my favorite shots from my trip to the zoo today.

Shot on #LumixS1.

Day 105
These lions were roaring. I didn't get here in time to catch it, but it was unlike anything I expected it to be. Very cool experience!

Day 104
From the #Zooluminate event at Hogle Zoo. A glowing leaf lantern set against deep bokeh and night shadows. Portra 800 handled low light beautifully!

Day 103
Downtown Ogden at sunset, looking down 25th Street toward Union Station. The glow of Portra 800 feels right at home here.

A street-level photo of 25th Street in Ogden, Utah at sunset. A cyclist rides down the middle of the street toward the illuminated “Union Station” sign in the distance. Cars are parked along both sides of the street.

Day 102
Medium format magic. First shot is the full 6x6 frame. Second is a close crop to show just how much detail gets captured on film. Still blows my mind

Shot on #MamiyaC220 with #AristaUltra200

#365onfilm #FilmPhotography #ShootFilmStayBroke #Birds #NaturePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

Wide black and white film photo of a bush with a small bird partially visible in the center of the frame.

Cropped view zooming in on the bird, showing high detail captured by medium format film.

Day 101
Testing an AI enhancement tool on one of my favorite film shots. 1st is AI, 2nd is original. It loses too much character (grain, feather textures). May try it on out-of-focus shots next.

Missed a day, so here's day 99 and 100.

Hard to believe I've been at this for 100 days. Film photography has really turned into a passion of mine. I've been thinking about starting a club at my local library to share my passion with others.

Day 98
I think this is a nice landscape. Thinking of revisiting the same spot soon to test out my new 6×12 Holga pinhole camera which should make for some fun panoramic landscapes.

A Bali myna peeking out from the leaves. Even in the shadow their blue face and pure white feathers make them so photogenic!

I was mistaken, these two shots were shot on #KodakGold200. My bad :)

Day 94
Playing around with my macro lens. It’s been a lot of fun exploring the tiny details I’ve not noticed most of my life.

I missed a day, so here are two to make up for it!

A delicate spider web on a branch and a stilt at Tracy Aviary.
