Day 34: February 3, 2014: Billy Goat Hill
Heading home around sunset today, I opted to stop at a park just off my usual commute route, Billy Goat Hill. You may know it as the one with the big rope swing. If you don’t know it as the one with the big rope swing, you should definitely go try the big rope swing.
No rope swing for me today, though. I was here for a few photos of the city (and the rope swing was in use). Normally, I would have chosen a different film for this scene, but I still had the Cinestill 800T in my camera, and was keen to test it in new conditions, so why not see what it can do here?
I kind of set myself up for failure on this shot: There’s really little justifiable reason to use a high speed film for a tripod-based long exposure, where the shutter speed doesn’t matter. Sure, I’ll occasionally go to 800ISO or higher on my digital camera to catch stars on a dark night, but getting clean photos at high ISO levels is really one of digital’s major advantages. With film, you’re just asking for the small details to disappear in a sea of grain, right?
Maybe not. Honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised with the way this came out. ‘Tis a bit grainy, but I’m overall not displeased with the look. Sure, zooming way in, the far off details aren’t as crisp as they might be from a digital camera or lower speed film, but I’m digging the colors and all of those little halos that I mentioned the other day.

Day 31: January 31, 2014: The Marina.
Yes, THAT Marina.
Tonight was an adventure with the Friday Night Drinking and Shooting Club to that little slice of San Francisco that the rest of SF avoids.
This Flickr group was the first I started joining when I picked up my camera several years back and it's still going, albeit a bit less often these days. Basically the group gets together whenever someone is motivated to organize an outing, chooses a neighborhood, and goes out on a bar/flask crawl and photowalk. It's hard to say what led me to this group (definitely the drinking), but it was a great crew to discover.
Over the years, people coming and going, Yahoo's neglect of Flickr's community aspect, changing schedules, and a number of other factors have led the group to shrink quite a bit in numbers and frequency from it's peak. Now it tends to be a once-every-few-months outing, generally drawing a small cohesive group of usually less than a dozen. It's still a great crew, and it's always fun to get back together, even if I tend to go light on the photo taking during most of our outings these days...
The Marina has been suggested as a neighborhood many times, but generally been passed over for a neighborhood with a more enjoyable bar scene. It finally happened, though. We finally went, and it wasn't that bad (although after our first stop at the Horseshoe Tavern, we did end up spending most of our time in Liverpool Lil's and the Presidio Social Club far from the Marina). I didn't take a ton of photos, again, but it was great to catch up with everyone, and I got to play a bit more with the Cinestill in low light. I think I was underexposing a bit here: I might need to give it a longer exposure at night next time.

Day 32: February 1, 2014: Crocker Amazon
Today was the day that joyous holiday of Impossible Christmas arrived at the southern edge of San Francisco.
Today was the day of Impossible Christmas festivities in southern San Francisco. It's kind of a long story, but iXmas is a fast growing holiday dreamed up by a couple friends of mine that is kind of a secret santa exchange of gifts that don't exist in the real world, if that makes any sense. Participants come up with a list of things they've always wished for, but are impossible to procure due to expense, discontinuation, impracticality, the laws of physics, etc, and are then tasked with making someone else's impossible wish a reality. It's a great way to follow up the commercialism of the holidays with a little creativity, craftiness, and perhaps some interpretive dance.
The photo above chronicles the appearance of the otamatone, which quite possibly could be the most amazing instrument ever created. It was not part of the festivities, but just happened to make a surprise appearance, to the delight of all.
The other photo is the view north of Sutro and the hills from the far edge of San Francisco, using some really badly expired film. Just a little grainy on that one..
