Just some sample shots I'm using to pose some questions to the Bowens group.
Shot with a Nikon D90 and a Bowens Gemini1000 pro.
Ravinia Festival is a mid-sized outdoor concert venue in Highland Park, IL. In 1904, the A.C. Frost Company created Ravinia as an amusement park intended to lure riders to the fledgling Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railroad, which later became the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee RR. Thus it was a "Trolley Park".
Although CNSM quit operating thru here in 1955, the park is still rail served via the adjacent Metra Union Pacific North Line. The former CNSM right of way is now the Green Bay Trail.
Ravinia is the summer residency for some members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (other members do theirs at Prtizker Pavilion Millennium Park in Chicago). I've seen John Hiatt, Robert Plant, Bonnie Raitt, Bigh Head Todd & the Monsters, David Byrne and St. Vincent here.
Ravinia, like concert venues everywhere, has been shuttered because of COVID-19. Its entire 2020 season was wiped out. I had planned on seeing Andrew Bird with Iron & Wine and also Sheryl Crow who were scheduled to play here.

Rescued a 1948 Pacemaker Speed Graphic from parts refuse hell. Body damaged from cranial trauma on the right rear side. Broke the top, split the leather, and made things generally crooked. However survived light tight. Focal plane shutter works, sorta, sounded like a rusty, lopsided cage with a 3 legged squirrel. This project was able to get it sounding more like a 4 legged squirrel... The rest? I can live with. I really want to strip the leather, but there is so much character there, so many scars and wounds that I feel it is better represented as it is, just cleaned up. Lots more to do including cleaning up the petrified spider....
Windows in New Orleans. The french quarter has so much character in
the buildings and architecture. Nothing is new, and everything seems
just a little bit broken.
Sometimes I want a shutter speed just a little faster than I can do with a lens cap so I made this prototype. Maybe if it stops raining I'll go out and test it.
I do not believe this to be an appropriate response to the events of 22/10/14.
Inside these gates are two large lawns that are often filled with free yoga classes, games of Frisbee, people having picnic lunches or strolling around, and in the winter families building snowmen or warming their hands over The Eternal Flame – today we’re locked out.
If we change they have won – open the gates.
This abandoned house has such neat shutters and they were painted green. It is located in Marion County, Missouri
I purchased a shutter tester from vfmoto on Ebay a few months ago. I'm very happy with it, but it's a bit unwieldy. Made this handy jig to hold the light and sensor. Adjustable horizontally and vertically to accommodate most cameras.
Trichrome photography involves taking three exposures of the same subject on black and white film. Each exposure is taken through a red, green or blue filter.
One of the early users of the process, over a hundred years ago, was Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky , he used projectors with coloured filters to make a combined image, nowadays it can be done with photo editing software such as Photoshop.
For this trichrome, I used the Harris Shutter technique, which was invented by Robert Harris of Kodak for making colour photographs with the different primary colour layers exposed in separate time intervals in succession. Using an Olympus ECR35 35mm camera, I took three photos of the scene on black and white film (Rollei RPX400) with a red, green or blue filter in front of the lens. It took several seconds to change the filter, so moving subjects, such as clouds or people, appear in different positions and in different colours, while static subjects appear normal.
Have you ever took pictures in a trip using filters and when you are back home processing the photos you realize that you have completely forgotten what filter you used on each photo? Or, you were in a guided tour and forgot some interesting information about the place that the guide mentioned? Or yet, you forgot the location were the photos were taken?
With Shutter Notes you can take notes of these things while you are photographing (with any camera) and mark a sequence of photos where the notes apply. This is done by taking a picture of the phone screen displaying the note, in the start and at the end of the sequence. This is useful on that situation when you use an accessory on a trip, like a ND filter for example, and when you are back home and start processing the photos you realize that you have completely forgotten what filter you used on each photo. In this case, using the app you will have a shot marking the start of the sequence where the filter was used and another marking the end. You can also write a title, a description and a list of tags (accessories used) for photos that you will upload to Flickr™ and have the notes applied to these photos when they are online, together with (if you want) the location where the sequence was shot, automatically taken by the app.

The focus finger ring is replaced, and, with the distance scale '8' mark at the access slot position (= Infinity position at the scale datum mark), that grub screw is tightend to lock the distance scale to the lens focus finger ring.
The process is then repeated for the other two grub screws at the '4' and 'Infinity' positions successively.
Note: I chose this photo, among the five that I uploaded to Flickr on the morning of Mar 30,2012, as my "photo of the day." I could not take my eyes off the giant sneakers the young woman was wearing. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really show the rather bizarre tights that she was also wearing...
Note: this photo was published in an Mar 29, 2012 issue of Everyblock NYC zipcodes blog titled "10024."
**************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, and 2011 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project nearly four years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past four years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
Walking through Nottingham, I noticed a closed shop that had shutters decorated with strange creatures. The colours reminded me of the ocean. I thought the shutters would make for a great backdrop for a stranger photograph and decided that I wanted someone wearing blue so I could keep a similar colour tone throughout the picture.
I saw Shannon and her friend Ash chatting a few paces away from the shop so stepped forward and introduced my stranger project to them, indicting my interest in photographing Shannon due to the colour of her dress against the background I pointed out to them. Once Shannon was in position Ash made sure her clothing was arranged just right and I began taking my photographs whilst Shannon went through a series of lively poses.
Shannon is from Nottingham and had come into the city for Pride. She has a job in retail but is using this to support her quest to become a professional figure skater.
I asked Shannon to describe herself in one word and she said unique. I then asked Ash what word she would use to describe Shannon and she said radiant.
What is Shannon’s biggest strength? “Determination,” she replied.
Shannon’s guilty pleasure is caffeine – way too much caffeine.
Thank-you Shannon for being such an enthusiastic stranger for me. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 380 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fourth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
This is my 351st submission to the Human Family Group. To view more street portraits and stories visit www.flickr.com/groups/thehumanfamily/
This is great fun to do, even if success rate of useable image is low !!
revised: removed gull on left as not blurry enough !!
probably continuous at 3 frame per second. manual mode so set shutter and aperture, and manual iso to set low to achieve shutter speed as no filters with me. ? possibly manual focus at a zone too !!
perhaps slightly faster shutter 1/20 ? depends on focal length of lens too as move across frame at different rates.
Circuit City in Gurnee sits vacant. Within 4 days all of the signage was gone.
The kids standing by the door got in the way and didnt seem too happy with me taking a picture with them in it... screw 'em.
