but I will give you this one

no snow, my friend.

[soosh]

I love the colors of Portra. I’d go with that.

[soosh]

I’ve done fine with late entries, but on the whole, earlier is better. I’d be happy to host & post yours for you.

[soosh]

hmm. we’ve got a distinct lack of reptiles up here. going to have to go with the prop lizards.

here’s some shots I made with the Loreo cap:

and then the f/180 cap, which might work fine on film:

[soosh]

I bought a f/180 or something like that pinhole cap for my 20D, and the refraction just killed me. Everything was just a blur. The loreo cap is a lot of fun, though.

Another cool toy is the Holga Lens on your camera mount cap:

which gives you cool shots like

I tried taking some HDR photos from inside a Forest Service WPA-era cabin looking out over the glacier, but the sun coming in the windows was too strong and screwed up the HDR process. I’ll have to go back when it’s all back-lit.

I had to put a new clutch in mine a few years back. 6 years of parallel parking on snow-covered streets about the same rise as San Francisco did a number on it.

I’ve been amazed, though, how well those damned cars handle in the snow. Before my Subaru, I had a 1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and I thought it did good in the snow. I wish the Subaru had about three or four inches more clearance, but damn, it is something. I’ve spun it out once in slow motion on black ice, but other than that, with no studded tires, it has given me 8 winters up here with fantastic results. I just totally forget I’m driving on ice or snow until I drive something that isn’t a Subaru.

Our Durango has the clearance and the big engine, but it’s no match for handling.

you can buy pinhole bodycaps for SLRs, too. This one:

is a lot of fun.

They also don’t gather enough light to bother sneaking into the gentelmans club….
/So I’ve heard.

Sure, you have to bring in your own light. And a f/1.4 or f/0.95 lens.

My car engine entry is one of my favorite entries ever.

Gotta give some love to the Subaru.

Mine’s a ’98 with 145,000 miles and a blown head gasket that I can’t afford to replace, but it keeps on chugging along.

[soosh]

there was also this double exposure that I have used.

I don’t think I’ve used the other one, but on the other hand, it wouldn’t be the first thing I’ve forgotten this week.

[soosh]

Yay! And almost right on my birthday!

[soosh]

I hope my third isn’t one I’ve used before. I count on the FSM to let me know what I have used. If it is a repeat, I’ve got others to substitute.

[soosh]

hey, do you need temporary hosting space? I’ve got a lot to spare.
