The Islands Community

The Islands where we live is a great place for taking pictures. Everyday seems to unveil new hues and colors of sunsets and water panoramics and moon glows. The trick is being at the right place at the right time to catch the fleeting moment. Sunsets are a crap shoot. You wait for just the right second for the light.. after the light to come shining through. And then rely on long exposures to capture what you're not seeing. Trial and error will get you there. Sometimes a hundred pictures to get one.

  • September Moon 2006 .. or is it an under-exposed sunrise?
  • Late Summer Monsoons.9-7-2006 Midnight at the Islands fountain.It was a bright night with full moon and lots of lightning activity. F5.6 at 30 seconds exposure. I was lurking in the dark shadows of an empty lot looking like a peeping tom.

  • "The Islands sunset" where we live. What a difference a camera makes. This is my 1st shot with my new 120mm Mamiya 645 AFD film camera. Yes film. I seemed to be going backwards these days from digital to the unbeatable quality of medium format film. The saturation of delayed exposure just sets the film ablaze, something hard to get with digital cameras without doing alot of enhancing in photohop.
