Dude, Meter for the Shadows

robertjames1971's avatarRob Shoots Film

I keep saying I should meter for the shadows, but this was in aperture priority, so technically I wasn’t metering this myself at all. I should try to go fully manual, but with my camera the display in the meter is so tiny I can barely read it at all. I should get a swankier camera then, right?

Say No to Ice

Forrest Lake in Methuen was frozen the last time I was there. It’s still pretty cold out, but the temps have been hitting the 50’s on most days. Here’s looking forward to the next time I visit Forrest Lake when there won’t be any ice to be found anywhere.

Someday I will get a good long exposure shot of a spinning merry go round. This day was not that day.

As for the before and after Lightroom, I think the colors are okay but over all I over did it… again.

More Fun with Lightroom Mobile

Forgive me. It’s a lazy Sunday at home and I am having fun being a nerd with film photos.

Here’s another before and after messing with Lightroom on my iPhone post. This time it’s the Spicket Falls Dam in Methuen, MA. Is the edited in Lightroom version better than the non-edited in Lightroom version?

Fountain

Tenney Castle courtyard in Methuen, MA. This is from Dad’s camera with the cheap zoom lens. The next roll I shoot with my camera will use the same lens. I need to know if it’s going to work for me at my step daughter’s graduation in a couple of months.

Did I Over Do It?

This is a scan of one of my crappy pictures. The only edits are the auto setting in Apple Photos.

This is the same image after I screwed around with it in Lightroom on my iPhone.

I over did it, right? Like, big time?

The Spicket River Looking All Mighty

I really want to shoot some film today. I might be taking a drive into Cambridge, and if I do and if the daylight is okay, I might take a short stroll through Harvard Square and I might bring Dad’s Pentax K1000 and a roll of film or two with me and see what happens. No promises though. It’s still kinda cold out there. We’ll see.
