Upcoming Photography Trip

It’s time for me to update my blog and this time I have exciting news.

I will be visiting the Pacific Northwest this weekend for some much needed photography work and hiking trips.  It’s time to unwind and find my artistry in the woods of the Olympic National Park, and the colorful fields of the Tulip Festival up in Mt. Vernon, WA.

Aside from my fiancé, I will be traveling with my Fuji G617 and Canon 5D.  These two cameras have served me well in the past, and I wouldn’t doubt they will do the same this time.  Always bring my film of choice, the Fuji Provia, both 100 and 400 speed.  I know I’ll utilize the 400 speed film quite often.  Weather shows it will be raining throughout the whole trip, so we’ll pack our rain gear and plenty of warm clothes. 

We will use Lake Quinault as our base once we reach Olympic NP, then traveling into the surrounding rain forests, and coastal areas.

Stay tuned for more updates.  It should (and I hope) be an exciting trip, even though it will be a wet one, as my cats rest comfortably here at home.

Downtown Testing

Spontaneously went to Downtown Los Angeles last week to find inspiration.  This time I only traveled with my Fuji G617 with 2 rolls of Fuji Provia 100F.  Snapped total of 6 frames, and came back with 2 that I think is decent.

Since I only had ISO 100 speed film, everything was shot at around 4 minute exposures.  Especially when I was shooting at f32 most of the time, and compensating for the center ND filter.  It was a lot of waiting around, but it was worthwhile.

I was happy with the overall sharpness and how the light flairs with the lens.  There will be more to come in the future.

Let me know what you think!
