Local Utility Station
A local power utility station in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I like the way a long lens can flatten a scene and create a sense of chaos in an image. Here, the out of focus posts are fairly close to the camera, whereas the utility station is quite far away.
One day in June, I decided to load up a couple of old cameras with some 135 format, black and white, film. One was a Nikon FTn with a 35 mm lens that I gave to me daughters. They are seven and nine years old, and were interested in learning some photography. I loaded a Spotmatic 1 for myself. I planned to shoot the whole roll with a 300 mm lens, but some of the shots were taken with other lenses.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2018.
Asahi Pentax Spotmatic
Asahi Takumar f4 300 mm lens
Manfrotto tripod and ball head.
Metered with a Sekonic L-358.
135 format Ilford FP4 Plus 125 ISO film.
Scanned using a Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED with the FH-835S 35mm strip film tray.
