It doesn't seem that long ago when we were looking forward to spring and here we are in autumn. This was taken on a beautiful spring day when the sky was blue! I just love the magnolias in the Arboretum and end up taking way too many photos of them most of which I end up binning because I haven't used them for anything.
Oceanex Avalon departing St. John's in early morning light. On shore you see Fort Amherst Lighthouse and WW II Gun Shelters along with the light keepers houses. There are not longer light keepers as the light is automated; you can arrange to stay in the keepers houses.

We walked up to the Cape Spear Lighthouse using this path. When we got to the top, it was barracaded with a sign (on the other side) that said "Trail Closed for Winter". We managed.

Back in the 1970's, people started using bright, bold colors for the exteriors of buildings to inject life into the town. These "Jellybean Row Houses" are everywhere now, and they give the city such a distinct, memorable sense of place. It wouldn't be St. John's without them!

In September 2013, we toured the US Virgin Island of St. John.
It is a spectacularly beautiful island.
This is the view from Chateau Bordeau, the highest point on the island.

The negative is heavily damaged, mostly due to operator error. I used a 90mm Schneider lens on a Speed Graphic without dipping the front rail out of the way. I had never used a wide angle lens on that camera before, and I didn’t look look carefully enough at the ground glass. I lost about 1/3 of the image to that, and some lens flare in the top right corner. Other than that, it’s not bad. It's tough to get backlit subjects to show shadow detail in film without blowing out the highlights.
Camera: Speed Graphic 4x5
Lens: 90mm Schneider

Looking back on the Battery, as we began our trek on North Head Trail.

After several days of mess around with the 24mm tilt shift lens and the Hitech Pro 10 Stop filter I finally nailed it! There was a bit of a learning curve to using these two. The was tons of haze in the air and most of my long exposures on this trip where not successful because of this. This one came out just right. I took three image shifting the lens up and down to get the 3 exposures I needed to get the beach and the top of the palm trees.
The Hitech Pro 10 Stop does have a really strong blue tint to it. Adjusting the white balance is/was a bit difficult for me. Anybody wanting to use this filter should be aware of this issue.
