Revolog Kosmos at the New York State Fair

I’ve used Revolog’s boutique textured film in the past. It’s a fun film to work with, as you can combine your photography skills with a little chance and a little luck – to get incredible images. Revolog pre-treats their film with everything from little spots to electrical fractals to textures, and those get transferred onto…

“Would you all please move out of the way?”

I’ve tried photo-capturing the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock, Vermont for a couple of years now. And I’ve had varying degrees of success. Mostly mid-line success. A couple of years ago, I tried capturing the bridge as part of a multi-bridge photo experience that was marred when I traveled down to a ravine for a…

An Infrared Return to Aerochrome Falls

Many years ago, I used vintage color infrared slide film (branded “Aerochrome”) for some photos in the Adirondacks. One of the best shots I pulled from that excursion was a shot of a waterfall near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Hudson, a photo I christened Aerochrome Falls. Man. I pulled that shot NINE YEARS…

Autumn in Northfield

Several years ago, my girlfriend and I went on a road trip to Vermont and visited several different covered bridges in the Northfield area. We visited them in July, so although the bridges were absolutely breathtaking, they were summertime visits, rather than autumn visits – when the Vermont fall foliage beckons for visits. I wanted…

It’s another test of my infrared-modified Nikon Df camera, and I figured I’d try to get a few more choice shots in that might be worth submitting for that Kolari Vision infrared competition. And as I turned the corner – looking for various trees and…

Planning a foliage run

I live near three amazing foliage “destinations,” if you will. To my north are the Adirondacks, to my east are the Berkshires, and if I go northeast, there’s the Green Mountains. And I’ve had reasonable success in capturing breathtaking fall foliage in all three locales. This year, I want to capture some breathtaking fall foliage…

My entries for the 2024 Kolari Vision infrared photo competition

Every two years, Kolari Vision – the good people who converted one of my Nikon Df cameras into an infrared-dedicated shooter – offers an infrared photography contest, where winners receive Kolari Vision gift cards and plenty of publicity. And since the contest is open to all types of infrared photography, not just products promoted or…

The Big E double-dip trip, 2024

Saturday morning. I’ve gotten this trip down to a science. Load the car up in the morning, fill the tank, then get on the highway at about, oh, say, 6:00 a.m. That gets me to Springfield, Massachusetts by about 8:00 a.m., and completely beats the glut of traffic into the Eastern States Exposition’s “Big E”…
