Architectural Exposures - Pen FT - Fujichrome Provia 100F

not loving the double exposures from the Pen on this roll, a worrying sign. this one worked out though. i love the house on the right, an actual lustron house.

#halfframe #film #filmphotography #fuji #slide #olympus #PenFT #photography
Three half frame exposures over the space of one frame. The Left frame is a window and fire escape, the middle frame is a brickwork square (under the fire escape) and the right frame is of a lustron house.

Lifting the Stairs - Fujichrome Provia 100F
Olympus XA

#film #photography #slidefilm #Fuji #Olympus #filmphotography
A large crane is set up, with outriggers extended and block in the air. Precast concrete stair sections have clearly been placed to the left of the crane, and are supported by temporary shoring. We gaze at this scene from above.

Mulberry St. from the 8th Floor - Fujichrome Provia 100F
Olympus XA

#film #slidefilm #Fuji #olympus #xa #filmphotography #photography
A photo from the top of a parking garage, with the top of the stair tower evident. The stair tower has a white 8 painted on a green wall, lit up as it is dawn. An overpass (Mulberry St.) guides the eye through the middle of the frame and to the sky, which takes up the upper half of the frame. The sky is purple and blue in the dawn, with clouds filling the bottom half.

Monte Carlo - Olympus E1
ISO 400 - 1/60 - f5.6
S Zuiko 35-70mm f3.5-4.5

Testing out a Zuiko normal zoom, since i like the 75-150mm so much.
A green Monte Carlo parked in a driveway, with a hose off to the side, and a white wall in the background. I've forgotten the word for the wall material, the diamonds in a hatched pattern you see around porches etc., it lets air through and isn't a solid wall.

Flowers - Kodak 200
Pentax Spotmatic - Super Takumar 55mm f1.8
Scan: Minolta DiMAGE 5400

#film #filmphotography #photography #pentax

The sort of shots i like to take just to start getting a feel for what a film does with color and what not.
Two large pink flowers with green leaves in the background dominate the top 2/3 of the frame, and smaller yellow flowers are visible along the base and lower 1/3 of the frame.

A green sweater sits on a sewing box, and fabric and other crafting tools sit behind and beneath the sweater as well. Everything is collected in a woven basket. A cutting rule is in soft focus in the background.

'NO' - Olympus E1 - ISO 100
Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f2.8-3.5 at 54mm

#digitalphotogrpahy #photography #olympus
A window has one half of a 'No Trespassing' sign visible, so it only reads "NO". The wall around the window is white, and covered with leaves/branches in shadow. The window is framed to be in the top left corner, with the visual weight of the wall/shadow balancing the weight of the darker window. The 'NO' lands in the center, leading to a frame that is both visually centered (subject in the center) and uneven (two large masses, the window and the building/shadow, that are not symmetric).

Queue, Beaver Stadium - Kodak 200
Pentax Spotmatic - Super Takumar 55mm f1.8

#film #filmphotography #kodak #pentax

This one is scanned with the Minolta DiMAGE 5400 since i have my tripod and other camera scanning stuff moved about.
8 lines to enter a stadium are shown from above, with people filling 6 of the 8 lines. The amount of people increase as you move to the right side of the frame. The top of the frame shows a part of the stadium and a steel member, compressing the focus onto the people below. also i couldn't move the stadium so they have to be there.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop - No Kings, Harrisburg, PA

Olympus OM-4 - Portra 400 - Zuiko 70-150mm f4

#NoKings #film #photography #filmphotography #kodak #olympus
An upside down American flag is overtop a "progress" pride flag. Below both flags on the pole is a sign that reads "Love is Love" and "Furries Against Fascism", as well as having a smiley face and a peace symbol. To the left is a sign that reads "Can't Stop Won't Stop" with each word colored as a different "flag", Rainbow/Pride, Transgender, Asexual, and i think sapphic (i'm taking the pink edges and center dot to be a flower as the determining factors). A closeup of the left image on this post. On the right pole is a sign that reads "Love is Love" and "Furries Against Fascism", as well as having a smiley face and a peace symbol. To the left is a sign that reads "Can't Stop Won't Stop" with each word colored as a different "flag", Rainbow/Pride, Transgender, Asexual, and i think sapphic (i'm taking the pink edges and center dot to be a flower as the determining factors).

A demonstrator holds a sign with an illustration (in a reduced style) of a photo of Mussolini hanging post execution. The sign reads "history isn't on your side". The background is out of focus, only the vague shapes of people and buildings are discernible.

Three Views of the Capitol - No Kings, Harrisburg, PA

Olympus OM-4 - Portra 800

#NoKings #film #photography #filmphotography #kodak #olympus
A neon yellow sign in front of the Pennsylvania capitol building reads “Freedom to LOVE”. The dome of the capitol is visible and a crowd of protestors is below. A large read banner reading “SPEAK” and a yellow sign reading “NO KING” with a crown on it are both visible in a crowd. The capitol building and a smaller dome to the left side rise above the people. Two flags/banners are in front of an inscription on a wall beside the steps leading to the capitol. The visible parts of the inscription read “…VINE ORIGIN AND ANY GOVERNMENT…RULE AND THE PEOPLE ARE A PARTY TO THOSE LAWS”, with the text attributed to William Penn

A pipe going down a brick wall beside an alley has a sign reading "STOP" and colored red on the left and "SLOW" and colored yellow on the right, for traffic leaving and heading into the alley, respectively. Two shadows are split by the pipe running down the middle of their images on the wall. A tree is visible to the left as a shadow on the wall.

A garage which is being overtaken by ivy. The person door is open on one side, and cones sit to either extremes of the frame. A mid-2000s (my guess) Coca-Cola machine sits against a white steel wall. Four cones sit to the right of the vending machine. Grey asphalt paving as a ground treatment contrasts with the white wall.

A wall dominates the foreground, the top of which leads the eye to a low head dam which draws the eye back towards the other end of the frame through the midground. The top of the midground features a line of greenery leading to a large concrete building. The top of the frame is dominated by clear blue sky, around 4PM or so in summer.

Outside the window are plants, some flowering. Hat forms are lined up around the ceiling, and a few completed hats are visible hung in the window.

"Look at that!"/Hat shop 1 - Portra 800 - Olympus OM4

#filmphotography #photography #Kodak #Portra #Olympus #Streetphotography
A couple and their two children walk past the window of a hat shop. Inside the window (where the camera is as well) is some sort of domed machine, ribbons and forms on the wall, and various tools. The taller person points towards the objects inside, finding them of great interest. The other also appears amused and interested by what their partner is pointing out. The two children appear to be interested in something else.

"I'm Helping" - Ektar 100 - Pentax MX - Vivitar 28mm f2.8

#film #filmphotography #Kodak #Ektar #Pentax #Canada

i love the contrast between the little CMP culvert and the enormity of the falls. the best version of this has the culvert flowing too, free idea for someone else!
A photo of Niagara Falls, with a CMP (corrugated metal pipe) culvert in the foreground sticking out of the bank. The enormity of the falls is contrasted by the small pipe, although both are doing the same job in the end. The grass in the foreground is green and well watered by the constant mist from the falls.

completely skipping my usual scan order (older stuff first) to bring you photos from my Canadian excursion. 6 rolls of film over 4 different cameras!
A photo of a the "Niagara Thunder" sightseeing boat heading towards Niagara Falls. Mist is starting to encroach on the boat and it's passengers at the top of the frame, while a rainbow (plus a second faint bow) arches behind them. The water is a deep black/blue where it isn't white from turbulence. All the people on the deck of the ship are wearing red ponchos, save for one at the stern in blue.
