Alliance Park in Amesbury, MA

On the way back from the ocean this morning I stopped at a little park in Amesbury that I found by accident on a similar sunrise photo journey about a year ago. Again, I don’t like any of these. I feel sad. I did take some film shots though so maybe those will make me happy when I get the roll developed at some point in the next 100 years or so.

This is the Merrimack River.

This little river that dumps into the Merrimack is called the Powwow River, according to Google Maps.

In closing, the little church across the street is nice too.

Sunrise

I made it to Salisbury Beach this morning. I took a bunch of pics and I don’t like any of them. I had the ISO set way too high because I set it high when I’m at home and I always forget to lower it when I go outside. It ruined all of my long exposures. Blah.

I think I prefer the 40mm lens to the 28mm lens for the sun itself, but the 28mm is better for the beach as a whole. That makes sense, right?

I had the ND filter on for a lot of these. Not sure which pic is the first one after I took it off.

From here on the ISO is set to 100 instead of 1600.

Lowell

I said I was going to do it on Saturday and then didn’t.

I said I was going to do it on Sunday and then didn’t.

I didn’t say I was going to do it on Monday and then did it.

I took a couple of cameras out with me this morning. I went to downtown Lowell. Market Street, specifically. I walked from the parking garage to the train museum, shooting film the whole way. Then I turned around and went back, shooting digital the rest of the way.

I was going to stop at another place or two after I finished with that neighborhood, but the ticket machines in the parking garage were down and I couldn’t get out. I had to call their office for help, and while trying to move from one exit lane to the other I clipped a cement post and dented my car. I am so effin’ pissed at myself. I just went home.

Here are some pics.

I still have about half a roll of black and white Kentmere 400 in my film camera. I need to finish that roll before Disney World so I can load it up with color film. Probably just cheap drugstore Fuji. I could shoot black and white at Disney World but that feels wrong. I need to go color. Assuming I am going to bring a film camera with me when we go. I am still undecided on that, but I am leaning toward bringing it.
