A photo blog centering around the continued use of film in the era of digital photography. Due to the simplicity of black and white development, the site tends to lean more towards black and white photography.
This is a showing of my extension tubes. I love the close focusing capabilities. I know the first and last pictures are not of berries, but my attorney has promised me that I can not be held accountable for misleading the public.
Long ago shots of the fields north of Pullman, WA. I did some heavy "graduated tinting" to bring out some cloud detail and darken the skies. Shows me how bad I need some graduated filters.
One thing about my Mamiya RZ67 that I love is the bellows. Without extension tubes or anything of the sort, I'm prepared for semi-macro photography out to infinity. That and the glass is just fantastic on the thing. Everytime I scan some pictures I can't help but smile at how much detail, and how crisp they look.
This is the road I used to take every other day-ish on the way to Fred Meyer. As you can see, I take it a little bit less now.
I've been doing a lot of macro photography lately. I got an extension tube for my 6x4.5 and my 6x7 has built in bellows! It makes it easier when the bellows are built in, but I still dig the 645 for ease of use. Also, I know this first image isn't macro, but if you skip over it you can see more macro-ni and cheese.
