Ugh, I'm way behind on updates. Here's three from film - the first two are on Arista 400 pushed to 1600, I shot them in Durango. The third is Fuji Astia cross-processed to C41. I won't be doing the PAD thing in 2007, so if you guys want to delete me from your lists I won't mind at all... I'll probably update it every once in a while with new stuff though.

Some pictures on B&W film. I really like B&W for some stuff, I'm going to have to start developing it myself eventually so I don't have to wait to get it processed.
I'm proud of the shot of the hippies or whatever in the parking lot, it was on Delta 100 at half a second wide open with my M3 and 35mm 2.5 - definitely couldn't have pulled that off with an SLR :)
...Although, to be honest, I could have gone to ISO 1600 and underexposed 2 stops on the XT and still gotten a usable 640px B&W, but think of the possibilities with fast film.

I don't have very much good stuff to post lately... Here's one of my dog, taken with an old Pentax 55mm screwmount lens, probably wide open or so. I like the look of it. We went to visit my grandparents in massachusetts for thanksgiving, and I took pictures there, but all on film, so it'll be a while before I post them.

I know I've been behind, especially on comments and looking at other people's pictures. 12 credit hours equals a decent amount of work, and I somehow manage to equate commenting and uploading to my PAD as work lately, so I usually don't feel like it.
These two are from my 1N. One of them is a double exposure using the fisheye lens, it turned out pretty cool I think. I got my Leica M3, but I won't have a lens for it until tomorrow and of course it's film so I won't be able to post the pictures from it for a couple days. We'll see if I can get by without a digital camera for long - this is the first time since August of 2001!
If I'm able to get a job, I'll probably save up for a 5D or 1Ds next summer.

Some photos from my trip to Kansas. The first one (or whichever order they are) is my dad. The cow, I'm pretty happy with and probably will enter it in free study. The other one is a butterfly eating the pollen on some of my aunt and uncle's flowers. They had a lot of them there. I'll post some scans from film when I get it developed, I shot almost as much film as digital (4 rolls)

I've been busy with plenty of class work lately, so here's three pictures at a time. One of them is at the reception for a photography show at the Civic Center for the photography club that I'm in, my cat picture is on the wall there. We had a lot of rain, and more importantly the area upstream from us got more, so the neighborhood got a LOT of water. Our front lawn was underwater for a while, and so was this oilfield site. The third shot is some fall colors on a dirt driveway - got some good old fashioned trespassing going on to make the shot. I'm going on a trip to Kansas soon, hopefully I'll get some good landscapes and maybe shots of the family. When I come back I'm selling my digital camera and most of my lenses, and possibly my film camera. Going to go to a Leica M6, and I haven't decided which lenses yet. Ideally, a 21mm f/4, a 50mm f/2 and a 75mm f/2.5, but $$$ and no money for a scanner and a PnS digital. Someone come buy my prints!

Sort of an abstract macro - wanted to see what I could do in Adobe Camera RAW; overexposed by a lot, probably 4 stops, then brought it down in ACR and played with the contrast and curves settings. Then took it into PS and cropped pretty far, guassian blur and USM to smooth the edges out, and resized and saved.

We went to the state fair this weekend - my cat photo did really well, better than I've ever done at the fair. It won a first place, best of show, and judge's choice! My other photo, of the moving water (they're all on my portfolio at DPC) also got first place, and my landscape got an honorable mention.
The second photo is from the top of the Sandia mountains - my dad and I took the tram up to the top, and hiked around for a while taking pictures, then came back down. It's really cool, I recommend it to anyone who's in the area.

My photos from the county fair. I entered these three, and all of them did pretty well. I got a best of show for my cat picture, and blue ribbons for the others, which I'm happy about. I can't wait to see how they do in the state fair (I entered the same three). There's more competition in the state fair, and until I'm 19 I can't enter in the Pro section here, even if I've sold prints (which, by the way, I have - an artist friend of ours liked my landscape so much that she bought the one I entered... sweet :))

My mom's baked items, and all the prizes she got for them. This was her best year at the fair here so far. Lit with my flash to the left bounced off the ceiling, and a 250watt heat lamp on a worklight right outside the frame on the right.
