Technical Camera Images

[rdeloe]

One more from my ongoing Crawford Lake project. The first tranche of pictures from this project are here: https://www.robdeloephotography.com/Works/Experiments-in-Engagement/Crawford-Lake

Most of the images in this set are meant to be broadly "understandable", which means fairly straightforward documentary-style. However, I needed to weave in at least one image that isn't so literal. And here it is.



Mamiya N 65mm f/4 @f/5.6 on Arca-Swiss F-Universalis with GFX 100S. Tilt put the plane of focus over the surface of the water. The fish was very obliging and swam into the picture just when the clouds were where I liked them, and the drops of water falling off the overhanging trees made some nice circles.

Very nice - largemouth bass, I think.

What is the silver swirl just below the fish?

The lake was stocked with sport fish a century ago, so your guess might be right. And the swirl is a bubble. The rain stopped shortly before I made the picture, and a tree was dripping over that spot.

 

[Doppler9000]

Very interesting - the bubble is in the centre of the circular wave that was also created by the fortuitous drip.

It has a twin on the other side of the fish.

Hey Rob, I've been really enjoying your Crawford Lake series. Your eye for detail brings out the hidden beauty of this place, and your photos tell such a rich story. I love how you blend the visual appeal with the fascinating history and science behind the lake. Those abstract shots are particularly stunning - they seem to capture the lake's mysterious layers perfectly.

Thanks Warren. Coming from you, that's high praise!

I would not do well with the kind of photography where you travel long distances to get one chance at something. I need lots of opportunities to get to know a place in different light and weather conditions, to explore nooks and crannies, and to think. This site is 30 minutes by car, which makes it easy to go lots of times. My first trip out to this site left me deflated because it didn't seem to offer much. But I've done this enough now to know that I just need to slow down, come back, and let the place reveal itself to me (which is a fancy way of saying, "Walk less and look more"). Almost all the images I used in those galleries are from the trips after the first one.

Unfortunately, once I'm no longer doing this for work, it will be much harder in sites like this. Because I'm doing this through work, I was able to get a research permit that lets me go off trail. I could only get that permit thanks to my relationship with the people from the organization, but also because I have the university's $5 million commercial general liability insurance policy behind me (a requirement for a research permit). Once I'm just a retired dude, I'll have to stay on the path, so to speak, and that's not where most of the interesting things are!

… and a lot of important work to do between now and then

Been there. Done that. The good news is that the path will be more attractive because your knees hurt.

Very nice! Beeches are another favourite of mine.

Knees hurt already. Also back and various other bits and pieces.

Earlier this week I traveled to NYC for work. I arrived a day early for some sightseeing. This cityscape captures midtown Manhattan, featuring Hudson Yards. The light was changing rapidly, so I took multiple shots. In this one, the balance between the reflective light on the buildings and the city's illumination seems just right.

Here's the CBR-building, located in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, Brussels. Built from 1967-1970. Architects Marcel Lambrichs and, of course, Constantin Brodzki. Another example of Brutalistic architecture for your viewing pleasure Shot yesterday around 14:30, using the IQ4150 - Arca-Swiss RM3di combo. First photo: Sinaron HR 90mm with about 18mm rise to eliminate most of the road in the foreground. Second photo: SK 60XL with about 5mm fall to get the chairs where I wanted them.

La Royale Belge towers above the water, and impressive mix of concrete, Corten steel and tinted glass. Located in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, Brussels. Built between 1965-1970, architects Pierre Dufau and René Stapels. Shot on IQ4150, Arca-Swiss RM3di and Sinaron 90HR, around 18mm rise.

Great shot Warren! Stuff like this was always my fav stuff to shoot, need to get back into it some day.

Here are a few images captured with the Cambo WRS-1600/CFV100C/23HR-S from a recent trek to North and South Dakota. This trip reinforced two lessons: always turn around 180 degrees to see if there's an image behind you and do not trust the weather forecast. I almost didn't get the downpour image as the evening forecast was for clear skies and I considered not shooting that evening.
