Street photography with a Pentax 6x7
Photo walk with a local photographer group in Baltimore using a pentax 6×7
Its Halloween in Baltimore, Maryland and I went out on a photo walk with a bunch of local photographers. Met some cool people, explored a new part of town, and got some great photos and a decent pumpkin beer to cap off the night!
There were lots of halloween decorations around town, but like a moth to the lamp, because I didn’t bring a flash and was shooting ISO 400 film, I was drawn to some more well lit parts of the town.
1 roll of HP5 on the pentax 6×7.
It was difficult to resist not taking 100 photos of the photographers themselves on the walk.
I ended the photo walk with two exposures left on the roll, so I decided to burn them at the skatepark. Riley was willing to pose for a photo so I made sure to send them a copy when it came out!
The photos certainly did turn out spooky due to the time of day, will have to return for golden hour some day.
Fall 2024 - Color film photos
The following are some of the 35mm and 120 format color film I shot this fall and into winter. All shot on Kodak Gold 200. The 120 film was pushed 1 stop
Cascade Falls
This is a location I could keep returning to. While the frames I took last weekend did not come out as great as I expected, I know the views are ripe with potential. I could do a photo book of this location entirely. Just need to keep photographing it.
All frames shot with a Mamiya RB67 Pro S. 65mm Lens.
Film: Ilford HP5+ Pushed to 1600.
Sept 17, 2024; Nature Walks and Spartan Races
Recent roll of film I shot
Among the roll here are some macro shots, (poison Ivy, cigarettes, flowers) testing out the focal distance on the Mamiya RB67 (65mm lens) As well as a couple scenes from a walk I took. I am upset that the focus missed on the runner with the gasmask, but its such a strange moment I still love the image. The way the light hit all the weird surfaces of the big rock was too wonderful not to shoot. Finally we have some group photos from our Spartan race on Sunday.
This roll was certainly a learning experience, but I am loving shooting with this Mamiya. It feels like the camera equivalent to driving a stick shift. Even the act of removing the dark slide before you can hit the shutter. It feels like the best parts of experiencing shooting a large format camera and medium format all in one.
