You are most welcome.

No kings protest with my traditional twist. Can you find the dog? 7-second exposure on 4x5. He never moved.

No Kings. 4x5 film. I did not get the photos I wanted to take. Too many people stopped me to talk about my camera. The one thing you have to accept when shooting 4x5. I did get a couple that I will post.

I was doing the same. Problem was, I had a hard time getting photos I wanted because everyone kept talking to me about my camera.

Thanks for the tip. I expect that to be the case. I’ll have to tighten my composition. I don’t own a digital so I’m stuck using film which is ok with me. I use the cheap stuff.

True, hadn’t thought of that either. I was going for a motion, ended up with a ghost pic for the season.

If he was a woman, maybe

Thanks! Hopefully the next one turns out better. If not I’m now officially happy with this

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 1d

Lol, I probably just started a new rumor

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 1d

I should have. Maybe on FB.

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 1d

I hadn’t thought about that. What a world we live in today. Whenever I show my work for sale, I get so many shocked faces when I show them the camera I used.

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks! Maybe it’s not as bad as I think it is.

Thanks and yes they are tricky. I scratched my head on a few that turned out odd. She walked slowly down the stairs and stopped with about 4 seconds left.

Thanks! I like it, but I was trying to add more detail to the last part of the image. I wanted a ghostly image over time, with the final stop showing all details, yet remaining opaque. I lost her lower half on this one. Hopefully, I can achieve what I envision on the next attempt.

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 2d

Nice!

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 2d

I love this.

Very nice. Almost has an IR feel to it.

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 2d

A failed attempt. I'm trying a new project with long exposure.
I shot this with 'stops' timed to the reciprocity failure at 21 seconds on 4x5 film. I have an idea on how to make it work.

My first art show went well. Met some great local people and some awesome local photographers and artist. The Olympia community is awesome. Thank you to all those that stopped by for some great conversation.

I was pleasantly surprised. I thought for sure it would have been sent to the prop garbage in Hollywood, but nope, still there!

CBortle Arts 🇺🇦 🔵 📷 🎸 🖼️ @cbortlearts.bsky.social · 16d

Yes

It was a beautiful morning. Empty of tourists and dramatic in nature.

We are planning a visit to LV soon and I think it would be a great opportunity for you to have her on you channel as a guest. I have been watching you fomr the beginning of the war and I am passionate about Ukriaine as I have spent a lot of time there. I would hope you would consider it.

I have no idea how to get in touch with you. So I will post here. My wife is a former radio journalist and was working out of Crimea during the annexation in 2014. She has an overwhelming amount of historical information from interviews with prominent people.
