9/11 Tribute in Lights on Color Slide Film

Last week I posted a 9/11 Tribute in Lights photograph taken on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 black and white film. Here are two shots from the same evening, one taken with the Olympus using Fuji Provia 100 slide film, and one taken with the Toyo 4×5 also using Fuji Provia 100 film.

The 35mm picture was a shorter exposure (only 60 seconds).

This was the same exposure ( 120 seconds) as the Neopan Acros 100 black and white film.

I much prefer the black and white image. In fact, I just had this black and white version scanned (605MB file!) to make prints.

Happy Fourth of July – Sparklers and Slide FIlm

So everyone likes sparklers right?

On our recent St. Michaels vacation, Kate and I teamed up for this admittedly kind of corny shot. This was after cocktails on the dock and I already had my 4×5 camera set up to capture the sunset. I used Fuji Provia 100 slide film and the meter reading told me the exposure should be one minute at an aperture of f11. The sparklers only stayed lit for 45 seconds so I had to cut the exposure a bit short. It worked perfectly though. Kate held her legs still and did an amazing job at keeping the repeatedly drawn hearts in a tight pattern. You can see a larger version of this picture at my Flickr account.

In the Flickr comments a few people were curious about the “not as successful outtake” of this shot. Here it is.

It was obviously much more difficult to try to repeat K-A-T-E so she just spelled it once and then added these little flourishes at the end as the sparklers fizzled out. I was laughing too hard to ask her to stand still.

Hope everyone has a good fourth. We are hoping to hit the beach tomorrow.
