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.

Originally my idea was to go take pictures of the surfers, there wasn't really many guys out there yesterday so I only got a couple pictures that I thought were standouts. I was really happy with what I was able to get.

Walking up and down the beach, you are basically in the campgrounds. Right along the edge of the campgrounds is where I really stayed because I didn't really want to bother anyone there who was camping. It's a really cool place to camp since it's right along the beach and the main street is just a 5 minute walk away.

Overall, I'm really happy with what I got. I shot this camera like I was shooting a film camera, I didn't want to be worrying about my compositions the whole time so I made the effort to not look at any of the pictures in the moment. A very fun day with that camera, I'm sure I'll be using it more and more.

One more thing, my birthday is coming up and I think I'm going to be making changes to my Instagram @m_kinghorn_ , but we will see when that time comes.

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.

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...

Film Dump #3

 So for today's film dump consists of 2 different cameras. My super awesome and trusty Nikon N80, and a camera I don't have anymore, the Nikkormat FT2. Both days were just phot walk days with my friend Jakob Hammer. Shot some "street" and some other variety stuff. Fist off I'll show off the N80 pictures. I haven't used this camera in a while so I didn't expose some of the pictures properly, they are a bit under exposed but they do have a bit of a spooky look to them which I do really like.
