Carpinteria

Got some cool beach scenes for you today! Yesterday I spent pretty much the whole day in Carpinteria, CA. I had to go do some paperwork towards the evening for my upcoming employment in the area. So I thought it would be good if I brought my camera and see if I can capture some beach scenes. I'm bringing back an old favorite of mine, the Fujifilm S1 Pro paired with a Nikkor 28-200mm. I haven't shot with this combo in a while so I thought it was time to dust it off and remember why I fell in love with this camera. So to start things off I meandered my way over to Jellybowl in Carp and made my way over to the campgrounds. I was walking around earlier in the day and wasn't really feeling the pictures I got, so I came back during sunset.  Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro - Nikkor 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 D Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro - Nikkor 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 D Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro - Nikkor 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 D Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro - Nikkor 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 D Originally my idea was to go ta...

Film Dump # 6

It has been a while since I last posted, but I do have some good ones to show you.  Now to explain my absence, the last couple weeks haven't been the best for me. I went through some personal stuff that put me out for a week, my mood has been extremely low and I got very very depressed. It brought back a lot of bad memories and insecurities that I thought I was able to get over. It'll take some time for me to get beck to the much happier state that I was in before when I was uploading regularly, but it's a journey that I feel like I need to take. Today I have a roll of Harman Phoenix 200 and Kodak Porta 160 to show you. I will start off with the roll of Phoenix 200 Nikon N80  - Harman Phoenix 200 Nikon N80  - Harman Phoenix 200 Nikon N80  - Harman Phoenix 200 Nikon N80  - Harman Phoenix 200 The majority of this roll I shot at the marina in Santa Barbara, my favorite spot for photography as you can tell. I was pretty excited to see these small boats floating arou...

Avo Fest

Today we have a very special post, my first proper attempt at mosh pit photography. This has always been a type of concert photography that I've always wanted to do and get into but was always too scared or just didn't know when there would be a show. But this year I knew where to go, The Carpinteria Annual Avocado Festival. This family friendly event is home to one of the most surprising free concerts that I love going to. The band that played is called "The Upbeat" and they are a favorite ska band of mine, the energy that they bring and the energy of the crowd is insane. So I came equipped with my Nikon 1 J1 with a 3D printed grip and an adapted 6mm security camera lens to take the pictures. Nikon 1 J1  - Rainbow H6mm f1.2 Nikon 1 J1  - Rainbow H6mm f1.2 This year had probably the best Upbeat show I attended. The crowd was jumping, the band was playing hard, and the mosh was getting pretty intense. Usually when The Upbeat plays at Avo Fest, it gets pretty lively and...

Film Dump #5

Welcome to the 5th film dump! This dump is from a couple days. First off would be a disc golf day with my family up in the bay area. We went to Kelly Park for the day to play a full round of disc golf. It was a nice bright day and there was a range on the course where I was able to throw one of my discs about 300 ft, which is pretty good for me at the time. I was equipped with my cousin's Minolta X700 and a roll of Kodak GT800 from a disposable camera. The light meter on the X700 was a bit faulty due to low battery so everything was manual exposure, which I think worked out pretty well. Minolta X700  - Kodak GT800 Minolta X700  - Kodak GT800 Minolta X700  - Kodak GT800 Minolta X700  - Kodak GT800 Minolta X700  - Kodak GT800 Next we got 2 days in Santa Barbara. I was equipped with my trusty Nikon FG with a roll of Fujifilm 400. The first half of the roll was used at Santa Barbara City College and the Santa Barbara Marina. I absolutely love taking pictures at SBCC...
