The Film Has Arrived
Epic Post Office Fail
Send Me Back
Jen asked me if I could find a picture from one of our trips to San Diego. I found it quickly, but now I have to spend the next three months reliving the various trips via my Flickr account. I’ll see you all again after I work it out of my system… or after I get back from my upcoming totally unplanned, spontaneous trip back there.
Still No Word
Delivery Tomorrow?

This Morning’s Photo Adventure Part 3/3
I headed in the direction of home… south. I stopped at a little marina type place right across the water from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. At this point in time I am not glowing in the dark.
And this is the point where I realized that my ISO was set to 1600. I changed it to 100 but I was almost done for the day so there aren’t many low ISO pics. Oh well.
And there we have it. All of the pics (well, most of them at least) from my morning photo fun experience at the ocean. I shot a whole roll of film to go along with all of this. Maybe I’ll get it developed at some future date in 2025 or something.
This Morning’s Photo Adventure Part 2/3
I drove North from Hampton Beach looking for a place to pull off that had a nice view. There were a bunch of potential spots, but they all had no parking signs. This spot had a no parking sign too but I was a total rebel and pulled over anyway. If you know this area, you’ll recognize the spot.
This Morning’s Photo Adventure Part 1/3
I stopped in three places this morning. I will post each stop separately, though almost all of the pictures I took were at this first spot.
Stop number one was the same spot as last week’s cloudy sunrise failure. Hampton Beach. Just a smidge north of the main beach area. Last week the tide was out and the clouds were in. This week the tide was in and the clouds were nowhere to be seen. I got there about 10 minutes before the sun came up. I only had a short stretch of very rocky beach between me and the sea wall. It was enough.
This next photo is a very happy accident. I had put my digital camera (Nikon Z5) down to take some pre-sunrise film pics (Dad’s Pentax K1000). It was getting very close to sunrise time so I switched back to digital and just put it up to my eye and focused on the horizon. I was looking due East (totally by accident) at the exact moment the sun broke the water. Like, the exact moment. I saw it through the view finder. I did not see a green flash though.
This photo is from about one heartbeat after the sunrise started. Can you see the little guy off in the distance?
This photo demonstrates my one screw up in a very positive way. When I am at home taking pictures of the cats I keep the ISO on my Z5 pretty high. 1600, usually. When I go outside I lower the ISO to 100 or 200, depending on how much light there is. I just like the way things look when the ISO is way low. Today… I forgot to lower it. All of these are at ISO 1600, which means the camera takes in more light (ISO is supposed to be like film speed, the higher the number the more light) which meant I could use a way faster shutter speed, which means the birds who randomly photo bombed me are not blurry at all.
I know I already posted this next photo, but it is my favorite of the day by so many hundreds of miles that I am posting it again.
And there we have it. The first of three posts from this morning’s photo fun. I am very pleased with how these came out, even if the ISO is way too high. The next post will be from the side of the road (route 1A) a few miles north of this spot. The second post is from a few miles south at a little beach spot in Seabrook, across the water from the nuclear power plant and where there is a little marina or something with lots of boats tied up for the night.
I just hope all of the film shots came out okay.
