Sharp Shooter


Today I did seven types of photography. I shot with six very different types of cameras: a plastic toy Holga with medium format film, the Canon 1D Mark II with both the 70-200mm and the 16-35mm lenses, the 4x5 large format camera pictured below, my Canon Rebel XSi, a Canon 10s with 35mm film. Along with that, I did a lumin print of eggs. A lumin print is done without a camera. I cracked the eggs right on the color photo paper, put it in UV light (since Rexburg doesn't share sunlight), washed the egg off and fixed it. It left the impression that eggs had been there. Pictured above is a photo I took on my Canon T70 with 35mm film. I made prints of it in the darkroom, but I also took advantage of the lab's new scanner and this is a digital version. Surprisingly, my teacher and I liked my darkroom version just as much as this one! I just could not believe how many different types of photography I did in just a handful of hours today!

  1. Awesome. I wish i had been able to take some photography classes in college - although much of it would have been obsolete to today's digital stuff.
