More DPP, a special request

The trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park involved meeting up with a group of other people, of whom I knew only 1. (Hi LM!) It was fun, though, and several of them were intrigued by my carrying a film camera along. Often I put film specific stuff into the other blog, but decided not to this time for complicated reasons.

I put two rolls of Kodak Gold 200 through the GW690, which gave me 16 photos, of which I'm willing to show you 10. Several have been blogged or posted on VERO, but there was a special request to see the film photos all in one place. So here goes, hoping I'm not boring someone because they see a repeat. For a wonder Blogger even left them in the right order.

If you want to begin at the beginning, and see other images from DPP, go here. 

1. The landscapes are fascinating on both a large and small scale. The shapes sculpted by rain and wind are amazing. The subtle and not so subtle colour changes in what some would see as a bleak landscape are a delight to the photographer's eye.

2. Harsh late afternoon sun makes for dark shadows on grey soil.

3. Yet in the sun the actual rocks are a wonderful warm tawny orange. Warm temperature-wise as well, and yes we were warned about snakes.

4. Several big views of the landscape. As a camera note, if you're wondering how wide the landscape is, it's about a 40mm equivalent on a 35mm camera, thus a bit wider than a "normal" lens. I've done some panoramas on film but didn't really think of it here.

6. The sun was gradually setting, making for interesting shadows and contrasts, bringing up the colour in the various rock layers.

10. Strong shadows made this a tricky exposure.

Lastly, since there might be some readers new to the blog, if you'd like to get an email notification when I blog, just send a request to keith@nucleus.com asking to be added. Or leave a comment with your email address. All you'll get is periodic emails (typically less often than daily, and more often than weekly) with a link and sometimes a bit extra to thank you for being a regular reader.

Flower, and Film (new), AND a serendipity dragronfly. Yes, for the pixel peepers there are lots of dust spots in the lily photo. But the colour of those lilies is perfect! And the film gives it a texture that digital doesn't. This is Kodak Gold 200 as well. This is one where I might go back and rather than try to deal with the dust spots, start by scanning the negative again.

Yukon. The view from the Dempster Highway never gets old.

Film (old)

Glacier National Park, during a trip late 80's, I think.
