Digital Detox Photography - Desert Light – Arizona in Monochrome
Photographs from the Grand Canyon and Sedona, made with the Pentacon Six TL and Biometar 120 mm on Ilford FP4 Plus and XP2 Super, handheld with a yellow or red filter. Inspired by the clarity and discipline of Ansel Adams, this series looks for structure rather than spectacle: rock faces, rims, layers, and light shifts that describe space, depth, and distance without relying on color.

#MushroomMonday is upon us! Here's a nice cluster of Ringless Honey Mushrooms (_Desarmillaria caespitosa_) from a walk at the cemetery the other week :neocat_happy:

#mushtodon #sporespondence #mushrooms #film #kodakgold #naturephotography
color film photo of a dense cluster of orange-brown mushrooms growing in the grass; most of them have up-turned caps that display the gills underneath, and the tops of the caps have a sort of speckled texture to them, as well as a distinctive darkened ring around the entire edge of each one; most of the larger mushrooms have small cracks forming around the edges of their caps a very similar photo to the previous one, but this time in landscape orientation and a bit closer up, allowing us to see a bit more detail

I share a turning point in my film journey: discovering flaws in lab scans — missing details, overexposed areas, and tones that didn’t reflect the negative.
