My lovely wife got me an @ilfordphoto.com and Paterson B&W film development kit for Christmas.

After shooting two rolls of Ilford HP5 Plus in a Pentax K1000, I was able to try it for the first time today.

Still a lot to improve but overall it went pretty well.

I haven’t been sharing a personal #photography project of mine HS150 - a photographic record of Holly Springs, NC as it approaches its 150th anniversary.

This was the first theme - the Holly Days Holiday Parade:

Is there a bird more derpy than a cormorant?

While watching the sunrise in AZ, a few coyotes walked over the hill. These are substantially larger than the coyotes I see in NC.

A few quick phone edits of shots from White Tank (AZ) today. Will need to revisit after editing properly but petroglyphs are so interesting to see.

At this year's Holly Springs Half Marathon I setup near the 5 mile marker to photograph friends and members of the local run clubs (I was not an official photog). So many people were showing their joy of running.

#hollyspringsnc #halfmarathon #running #photography #sportsphotography #race
A line of three people running the HSHM. A younger man and women are in front and a more experienced man is about to pass them both. He is smiling as he runs up to them. A man running the HSHM who is looking at the camera, sticking out his tongue, and making the shaka sign with both hands. He is wearing a shirt from a crossfit gym. A woman running the HSHM who has jumped into the air with a bent leg and arms outstretched. She is looking at the camera and has a her mouth open while shouting "woo hoo!" as she jumps. A woman running the HSHM who has both arms raised over her head in a moment of celebration as she approaches the 5 mile marker. She has a smile and her eyes are closed.

The man who instilled in me the love of water, music, photography, and incredibly bad puns (but despite his best efforts, not math) passed away early this morning.

You will be greatly missed, dad.

I have begun to curate the North Carolina Photographers Starter Pack to highlight photographers from NC (or who frequently share photos taken in NC).

Please suggest folks I may be missing.

"Get Your Ducks In a Row"

Not a technically excellent photo but I really liked the composition of the heads progressively rising.

Bass Lake Park, Holly Springs NC.

#photography #birdphotography #ducks #ncwildlife #ncphotographer #northcarolina #sonyalpha
The ducks in profile. They are standing side by side with the shortest closest to the camera and the tallest three furthest away. The top of the head and eye of each duck is visible over that off the shorter duck in front of it.
