Snowscapes : Black and White

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  !  Winter just started here in Michigan with good amount of snow already on the ground. I'm combining all my snow landscapes shots over the years to showcase the beauty of the snow covered land. It just feels so serene and calm, of course hiking through the woods to shoot pictures felt exactly the opposite! I prefer shooting the snow covered in landscapes in black and white and mostly on film because B&W removes all the distractions and film cameras hold up better with no electronics in the cold! Enjoy!

I shot these pictures two months ago and finally developed them! Both are shot using Mamiya RZ67 ProII + Sekor Z110 f/2.8 on Fuji Neopan 100. I have started appreciating the Mamiya for sharp negatives it produces. Hope to do more with the camera as the weather gets better!

Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! Rocky mountains national park is one of the best nation parks I have ever been to and I've been to quite a few of them! The landscapes, the hikes and the look out spots are simply gorgeous! We also visited Pike's peak and the drive up there is a very interesting experience! Enjoy the pictures!

Summer Time in Northern Michigan

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  !  Michigan landscapes in summer are something else! Blue skies, crystal clear fresh water lakes, big clouds make for perfect postcards! Northern Michigan especially is unevenly blessed with nature beauty and it's certainly one of my favorite spots to shoot landscapes! There are also many wineries where you can taste/buy the delicious Michigan wines! The food scene is getting better! I like to visit the same spots whenever possible as the familiarity of the locations helps me take better and interesting view points that I would miss as a one time visitor! Enjoy these postcards!  Lake Superior National Lake Shore Under the big Mac Serene Lake Superior Tahquamenon Falls Summer Beach at Leland

Portraits: Kristie

Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  !  This was a shoot I did a while ago. I shot both digital and large format film. Digital cameras provide flexibility to shoot from different angle and without a tripod. Large format camera does much better in terms of bokeh and separating the subject from the background. I love shooting environmental portraits compared to studio portraits. The environment adds an extra dimension and makes the images much more dynamic and narrates a visual story!   I'm making more of these blog posts as I'm migrating photos from flickr to my blog and Facebook. I never had to group my work by projects before on flickr. This gives me an opportunity to combine work as they were shot and create a timeline of sorts of all my projects! Stay tuned!  Olympus E-3 + 7-14mm Speed Graphic + Kodak Aero Ektar 178 f/2.5 Olympus E-3 + 7-14mm Speed Graphic + Kodak Aero Ektar 178 f/2.5
