Some my early / initial experiments using an anamorphic lens.

Sirui Venus 100mm + 1.25x adapter + Nikon Z6iii + Darktable

= 3:1 aspect ratio! With no cropping!

an ultrawide image showing a peach sunset with the silhouette of a power pylon and the horizon at bottom of frame An ultrawide image showing an intersection at night. The lights are flaring with long blue streaks. The people are ghostly because of the long exposure An ultrawide image showing a rainy street scene from above, with an elevated train blurry as it passes in the foreground. An ultrawide image showing a tabby cat with his eyes closed, laying in a perch.

Some Bangkok street and canal photos

#street #photography #bangkok #night #photosky
A photo taken from the back seat of a tuk-tuk, looking past the driver, the driver's reflection in the mirror, the windscreen, the back window of another tuk-tuk, and finally seeing a young Thai woman with a ponytail in the back of the tuk-tuk ahead of ours A dark nighttime photo of a lone man sitting at one of the tiny tables next to a chaotic van, parked on the side of the street, where a family cooks and sells food. A black-and-white photo of a flooded marketplace alley, with people trying to make their way through the water, while vendors continue to sell their wares on either side. A colour photo of a woman on a tiny boat tied up to a tiny dock on a canal in Bangkok. The woman's boat is mostly taken up with a huge wok and other kitchen equipment, as she prepares food to sell. The woman sits under a pink umbrella.

A messy photo of a neon "Vogue" sign and surrounding lights on a Vancouver street at night. Everything except the center of frame is blurry and streaky. A messy photo of a people waiting at, and walking past, a hot dog stand on a Vancouver street at night. Everything except the center of frame is blurry and streaky. A messy photo of traffic and pedestrians on a Vancouver street at night. The people are very motion blurred. Everything except the center of frame is blurry and streaky.

Back from Bangkok and finished sorting through my photos... These are some of my favorite B&W street photos, to narrow down the list a bit!

#street #photography #blackandwhite #bangkok #photosky

(and yes, in Bangkok a canal is a street)
A black-and-white photo of some boys swimming in a canal in Bangkok, hanging onto the edge of a boat with another boat visible in the frame, and tropical vegetation behind A black-and-white photo of what appears to be a young girl of 10 or so, driving a scooter at breakneck speed, with a toddler perched in front of her. A black and white photo looking up at a cat climbing onto a rough power pole. It is glossy and looks alert, but friendly. A moody black-and-white photo of cars, a tuktuk, and parked scooters on a smoky Bangkok street at night. The edges of the frame are blurry from the type of lens used. It looks like a still from a 1950s noir movie, aside from the modern cars.

We got sick of wasting two full pumpkins every year to make jack'o'lanterns, so instead we waste two apples to make apple witches

"Come explore me tunnel" - the bog witch, alluringly
A dark and moody color photo showing a perfectly circular tunnel through lush greenery, heading towards some dark mysterious interior. There is a trail on the floor of the forest.

Night creepin

#photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite #night
A black and white photo of the front face of a parking garage, in the early evening. The building is short and mostly brick, and it's partially covered in vines like an ancient jungle ruin. A black and white, low-angle photo of the Vancouver Public Library. It is night and the windows are lit. The building's architecture is curves and lines - it looks like a modernized Roman colosseum. A black and white photo taken inside one of the curved arcades on the outside of the Vancouver Public Library. The viewpoint vanishes around a corner to the right. It is night and the inside of the arcade is lit with electric lights on every column. A black and white photo of a woman in a dress, at night, standing in front of a display window for a closed store. She is lit by the display. She is, herself, taking a photo of the display. Everything else around is dark.

Went on a beaver patrol yesterday and found a lot of urban wildlife, plus a lovely sunset.

Even (especially) when the weather is bad, it's pretty nice around here...

A photo of a rocky, mossy canyon A photo of some people hiking past a square mossy stone in a rainforest A photo of a patch of mountain, revealed in the clouds, with a single brighter sunlit spot A photo of a forested rocky mountain with a river in the foreground. There are clouds above but sunlight is raking across the face of the mountain.

Spent some time on vacation, away from my kit. If I can't play it, I can at least draw it.

Some scratchings with a pencil and a 0.01 Pigma pen. Taken from a photo I shot, and transferred using a grid.

Spending some time tourist-ing in my home province... colour edition
A colour photograph of a misty river in the morning with warm sunlight A contrasty colour photo of a wind-blown tree on a small island in a lake. The island and part of the shore are lit with sunlight, the rest of the image is in the shadow of a cloud. A colour photo of two small cabins on a lakeshore. The cabins are in a spot of sunlight, the rest of the lake and shore are in the shadow of a cloud. A photo of a tiny, pea-sized wild strawberry hanging from a plant close to the ground.

I took a couple of my songs, and a friend on guitar, to an open mic night. Our set was a slight change in tone from the other acoustic singer-songwriter folk acts - nobody seemed to mind hearing something different though.

I spent a few pre-storm hours checking out the brutalist concrete architecture of Simon Fraser University. The day was fairly colorless to begin with, but these shapes seem to lend themselves to this kind of black-and-white treatment.

A high perspective view on an open gallery / rotunda, in dark, high-contrast black and white A photo of a concrete building with strange angles under a cloudy sky, in dark, high-contrast black and white A photo of a somewhat grim brutalist concrete building with shadowy trees below, in dark, high-contrast black and white A low-angle photo across a pond showing a building and its reflection, in dark, high-contrast black and white. There is a large stark boulder in the water and you can see a motion-blurred going past in the background.
