T.I.B.I. Application

Sonny and Haley; Photography then and now

When Sonny and Haley were children, photography was done with film cameras and film, of course. In those days, people were careful not to take lots of random photos because the roll of film only held 24 - 36 images and you had to pay and wait for the photos to be developed. Only after they were developed and you opened the package of photos, would you discover whether or not you had any photos worth saving or framing.  Now in the days of digital cameras, we can take and save 100s of photos without any trouble, delay or expense. The digital photo of the prairie grass was a "throw away" shot that surprised me by how well it turned out, straight of the camera.  Especially since it was so dark when I took it. I never would have wasted the film for that shot in the old days.

However, these photos of Sonny and Haley when they were little, were taken with an OM-1 film camera. These are some of my all time favorite photographs. I love them mostly because of who's in them, but I also think they are great captures. Sadly, I know I'd have many many more, if I would have had a digital camera back then.

Backyard photos: Fungus, leaves and dew.

All of these photos were taken within a few feet of each other on our hillside behind our house. I was cutting logs with the chainsaw but got distracted! These photos look best "biggified" - so please click on one and then you'll be able to view in slide show mode. The photos below show that I actually did do some work!

These photos were all taken with a Panasonic Lumix GF1 fitted with a manual focus Vivitar 28mm f2.8 lens, which was originally made for film cameras. None of these photos were post-processed and none of them were cropped.
