the Lola.

Added on by John Sturr.

Sitting on the couch - the dog Lola jumped up to view the scene outside the window.  There was nothing there to see - and her head was about 12" from mine.  I grabbed the iPhone 7 and opened KitCam and took this.  I got as close as I could to keep the scene as shown.

Downton SLC

Added on by John Sturr.

This was shot at the CityCreek mall area in downtown SLC - on Ilford Delta 400 self developed and scanned.  Looking up takes some getting used too and it needs to be a force of habit as a bright blue sky and a white building adds much drama to the scene.

I love this shot - glad it turned out as film is a tricky beast to control.

Fuji Acros - 100 iso

Added on by John Sturr.

I've recently discovered this Acros Fuji stock -- and OMG -- it's of my favorite now.  I wish Fuji still made the 400iso as it only comes in 100 stock.  Image was taken on the overlook at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.  The weather was cold and crazy windy for a day in September.  But - it all worked out just fine.

Hold the line!

Stay with me!

Over a Month -- yikes

Added on by John Sturr.

It's been too long - I'll be working on that for the future.  I will say that I get delayed from posting as I copyright all images now.  So there is a 3-4 month delay after the photo is taken before I have a group to register etc.  And after the image is registered, then I can post.  Ugh --- I know... but that's the process.  Ok -- onward.

This image was taken with the newly repaired Rollei 6008i on Ilford Delta 400.  Home processed and scanned - and the scan is excellent.  The negative processed very flat and as always the flatter the better during the scan.  

I really like this image and may print it 24"x24".

No crop.

SLC - with the P330

Added on by John Sturr.

Here's a grab shot with the pocketed Nikon P330 - in black and white mode.  It's a great photo when the light and situation matches the consumer gear really well.  I love this photo and the what camera captured.  As with all of my images - no crop.

Back from the MAC at PYC

Added on by John Sturr.

At the end of July the Pentwater Yacht Club allows boats returning from Mackinaw to dock overnight - all stacked up.  I shot this the day after the "Back from the Mac" PYC party of the night before.

Shot on the Rollei 6008i - I'm loving the rendering this camera is providing.   Self developed and scanned.

M's sister's English Bulldog - while we were in Northern Idaho on a camping trip.  She's about 60lbs. and is a beast - but a friendly, gentle, nice beast.  We have here sister, Lola - and she's just the same in her actions !

Shot with the Nikon 1 V1 and the 30-110mm. - I know -- digital... how weird ?!?

It's been a while ...

Added on by John Sturr.

Yes -- it has -- between getting the Rollei 6008i worked on, and keeping in mind and getting the needed copyright registration for any new images, too much time has past.  Well -- I'll make it up.

This is a digital image - shot from the Buss stop and of the Harmon's grocery store facade.  It's really abstract - and I love it.
