Two last shots. Was a very productive hour in the air. I shot about 50 images though – which in medium format is a ridiculous number for such a large format (and expensive! – about $50 in film and developing fees). Still, was worth it :)

Two images of the shadow cast by the mountain. First time I’ve seen something like this and gives you a pretty humbling sense of the scale.

Hi all – just got back from a week in Montana… We hired a lodge for a week and hung out, read books, hiked, took photos, and for the most part acted like it was a real holiday. Just finished driving back tonight, a brutal 550 mile journey but a fun one.
Have started developing photos tonight, and will start posting next week – but in the meantime, here’s a shot from a couple of weeks ago – when a friend of a friend took us up at 4:30am before …

Had a great past few days of photography. Last weekend we took a short overnight stay road trip out to Palouse Falls in Eastern Washington. It’s a 5 hour drive from Seattle, and we got there a few hours before sunset. Grabbed a few shots of the falls (an 180 feet waterfall in what is otherwise the middle of the desert) before we ended up sleeping the night in the back of the car. Fortunately Akuri is a great sport and doesn’t mind me, her and the two dogs cramming …

Last night was a full moon and the best time of the year to see it happen behind Seattle’s space needle (at least, when viewing from Seattle’s Kerry Park – a popular downtown location to see the cityscape). This was the first time I’ve used MF for long exposures (or for that matter night photography or even on a tripod). Worked out ok.

A couple of shots from around Seattle.

I took two shots of this couple. Despite the title, this was actually the first image. It was only when they had finished and started to move up higher on the hill that I grabbed the second shot as I was walking away (I posted that image yesterday). So many simple things we take for granted.
