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.

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'm not as excited with the result as I thought I would be. 20 exposures of 20 stop signs on 4x5 film. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #photography #blackandwhitephotos #eastcoastkin #photographersofbluesky #pnw #analogandfilmphoto

I spun the camera on the tripod and took 30 random shots on one sheet of 4x5 film. #believeinfiln #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #photography #eastcoastking #pnw #blackandwhitephotos #monochrome #photographersofbluesky

Cool photo. I love shooting the fair rides, but you only get so many chances a year. A similar ride I shot here in Washington using multiple exposures and different shutter speeds.
