Crane Beach

I shot at Crane Beach in Ipswich today.  For over 2 hours (and I think at least 1 1/2 miles) in the freezing wind, I tromped up and down the beach with my K1000, my Holga, and my pitiful little Coolpix. (She's on her last legs.) I didn't shoot with the Coolpix until I was walking back to the car.  Knowing it's probably gonna take a while before I can process the film and scan it, I just wanted a few pictures of the beach.  These pictures were shot within the span of about 45 minutes.  The sky was changing so fast!  They're not too special except for that they're of a really beautiful beach... hard to believe that this is in Massachusetts! 

more sunset photos

Here are a couple more old photos from the rolls of film I shot for one of my color classes. (a long time ago) 

I don't think I ended up using either of these in the final project for the class, but looking at them now, I think I really like them...

Onset Beach

Kind of a last minute thing, just before 7pm, I decided to drive down to Onset Beach. I thought I'd get there in time for the pretty sunset light... I JUST missed it...  So I have some pictures I made at dusk instead. 

The plan WAS to shoot film in my Holga, (finally!) and I also brought my Coolpix and my Brownie.  But since the light was pretty much gone by the time I started, I didn't shoot any film... I knew from experience with my Holga that any negatives would be super thin.  And I cannot afford thin negatives!

So, I did some through-the-viewfinder with both the Holga and Brownie.  I did NOT like any of the Brownie shots.  They were way too distorted, even for my taste!

The light was kinda flat at this point, but I got a few I like, and some I'm still not sure about...
