Sorry it’s been about 2 weeks since I posted a photo. I’ve been reviewing, scanning, and processing/editing 5 rolls of black and white film that I captured while sharing my photos from last summer. I also got some color film developing supplies so I shot and developed a roll (I have two more rolls to be developed). I’ll likely share some of those after I share some of the 5 rolls I just finished processing/editing. Back in May I took a walk over to University of San Francisco (USF), which is just up the hill from my apartment. There’s a church on top of the hill and the campus buildings feature some interesting architecture. Here’s a sampling of shots from around their small campus. I think black and white film can do a pretty good job with architecture.

More information about Kunming lake and the Summer Palace in Beijing can be found at my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/location/Summer-Palace
Kunming Lake (昆明湖) forms the centre of the Summer Palace gardens in Beijing, China. In fact, the lake takes up most of the parks area, covering 2.2 square kilometres or three quarters of the garden grounds. The lake is relativly shallow, with a depth of just 1.5 mtres. The lake is largely man made though a small pond existed on the site before development. The lake was created by Guo Shoujing, originally as a reservoir for the nearby capital, during the Yuan dynasty (1291). The area was converted into the imperial garden between 1750 and 1764, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Work was undertaken to expand the existing lake at that time. The spoil from excavating the lake was used to form the nearby Longevity Hill. The lake develops a thick lair of ice during the winter, during which time it can be used for skating. In the summer, a large number of small boats cover the lake.

The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. Its name, which was given to distinguish it from older bridges that were lined on both sides with houses, has remained. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was the heart of medieval Paris.

As promised, here are some black and white photographs I took earlier this summer while visiting Michigan. A long-time friend of mine, who also likes to take photos, and who happens to be an architect and artist, threw out the idea that while I was visiting we should go down to Detroit and shoot a bit. So, her, her partner (another long-time friend of mine), and I headed down to the Dequindre Cut Greenway and to Eastern Market in Detroit one hot summer afternoon. Detroit has an interesting and unfortunate history which has left huge parts of it dilapidated. This is often the focus of street and architecture photographers when shooting in Detroit. This is commonly referred to as ruin-porn. I ended up leaning in to this a bit with these photos, as you can tell, although I had some reservations in doing so. I do, however, see beauty in many of these things, and it always makes me wonder what these things were like when shiny and new. At this point there are pockets of people and new developments scattered around the city, but it has a long way to go and will probably never return to its former glory, unfortunately.
Here are some more shots from the SF Fleet Week airshow. All these shots involve some aspect of the Golden Gate Bridge (or Fort Point). Being directly underneath the bridge on top of Fort Point allowed me to make some interesting photos where the structural elements of the bridge could be used to frame the jets as they screamed by.
Here’s one last photo from my trip to Australia. One year ago, today, I was taking a day trip down the Great Ocean Road, along the southern coast of Victoria, Australia. There are 3 distinct landscapes encountered along the way: beach, rainforest, and open plains. The most well known part of the Great Ocean Road is in the “plains” section, although it really isn’t part of the plains. It is the Twelve Apostles. These are beautiful giant limestone rock formations in the water just off the coast. They are continually battered by ocean waves and are slowly eroding. There is a small amount of beach in this area but is largely huge sheer limestone cliffs. This photo is of a small inlet with a beach, surrounded by cliffs, called Loch Ard Gorge. As the story goes, there was a shipwreck just outside this inlet, and the two lone survivors had to fight the dangerous waves to swim into this beach for safety. Then, one of them had to climb up the cliffs to go find help.

Sorry for not sharing more photos recently, but I am in a bit of a hole with my photography. Not a creative hole but a backlog hole. With 35mm film the process is different and requires more effort (moving a memory card from my DSLR to the computer is basically no effort). I do, however, have a huge backlog of digital images from last summer. I’m struggling with film because I haven’t determined an optimal workflow yet. Primarily I’ve struggled converting the film negatives into digital form. I tried a macro lens, and, subsequently, a vintage slide/film duplicator attachment on my DSLR, with a light table, but have been dissatisfied because it’s slow and cumbersome, and the resulting images lack sharpness. So, I finally caved and bought a specialized film scanner (it’s a Plustek). Wow! The quality of the scans is exceptional, but it is quite slow to scan/digitize and the files can be quite large. So for my new workflow I adapted the workflow of old film photographers. They would create a sort-of index of the roll of film, called a contact sheet, review and select the best exposures, and then print them in a dark room. Instead, I am going to make a digital contact sheet with my DSLR and light table. Then I’ll review on the computer and select the best ones to scan. After I’ve scanned and processed the negatives in Lightroom (haha!) on the computer, I can share them with all you!

Here are 4 exposures and their digital contact sheet. These were all taken along the Lands End Trail and near its head at the Sutro Baths. Several weekends ago, when the sheltering in place and physical distancing started, I wanted to stretch my legs, so I went to Lands End. Quite a few other people had the same idea, unfortunately. It was near impossible to stay 6 feet away from people a lot of the time. I can understand why they’ve closed off a lot of public spots, now.

The Louvre or Louvre Museum is one of the world's largest museums and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, France, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited. With more than 8 million visitors each year, the Louvre is the world's most visited museum.
For tourists, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas, numerous shopping centres and traditional ways of life, especially along the “Venice of the East” timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River of the “River of Kings” winding through the city. It is worth taking a trip along its waters before exploring further into different canals to take a glimpse of old Bangkok.
