Yeah, it's kind of "in your face".

I've got a couple more Eiffel Tower pics from my trip to Paris. This one taken with a cool 1950's German 120 format folder bought at the Portobello Road market.

Devils Tower WY

Soon I'll be traveling back to Wyoming to start working on a uranium exploration project not far from Devils Tower. Excited about being back in the West.

This is so odd. I posted this 2 weeks ago. And here it is again, apparently posted again. Showing up at the top of my profile. Why? Is it because someone just reposted it?

I flew from Brussels to Salt Lake City UT yesterday. It's good but strange to be back in our old house. I'm going to miss Belgium.

Really odd. I first posted these a week ago. And today they are posted again. But I didn't do it. Anyway, people are responding, so I guess they didn't see the pictures last time.

Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a shop, not a Federal government agency.

This striking photograph captures the underside of a canal bridge at night, dramatically illuminated by turquoise or teal lighting. The canal passes above a roadway on this structure. The concrete structure is supported by a series of massive, uniform pillars that create a powerful sense of depth and a repeating, architectural pattern often referred to as the "Cathedral Under the Bridge". Visual Details Lighting: Bright, artificial teal light washes the curved underside of the bridge deck, casting vibrant, defined arcs against the deep darkness of the night. Composition: The perspective is low, emphasizing the imposing scale and symmetry of the concrete supports and the leading lines they form into the distance. Environment: The ground below appears to be a grassy or slightly wet area, where the bridge's lights create subtle reflections. In the background, faint streetlights and the red and white light trails of passing vehicles provide a sense of movement and an urban context. The overall atmosphere is moody, ethereal, and architectural.

This photo captures the same structure as the previous image, this time lit by orange lighting.

I saw a YouTube video where a guy found a Leica M3 and a Rolleiflex at a thrift store somewhere in California. He apparently spent a lot of time afterwards trying to find out if anyone had had the gear stolen. Concluded that it was probably just clueless relatives getting rid of a deceased estate.

OK. Last Eiffel Tower photo for a while.

I need to get myself some kind of dodgy camera. There was a guy selling a LOMO Cosmic 35 in Mons, Belgium on FB Marketplace. But he didn't respond to my messages. Will keep looking. Flying to Utah on Tuesday, so I'll check some thrift stores there.

Thanks, mate!

I need to stop! But the K1000 was €65 and the two lenses were €50. I think I've got all the SLRs I need now! Probably about the only thing that would tempt me would be a Rolleiflex or some other nice medium format camera in good condition. Love my Yashica MAT 124. But how many can one guy shoot?

I bought a Pentax K1000 at a flea market in Brussels and then picked up 28mm and 135mm lenses at the same market a few weeks later. It's slightly lighter than the Canon. Would really like an OM1 but they are getting spendy.

Nice to see another Canon FTb shooter. That's a big hunk of metal to use for street photography! I've got the FTb that my Dad bought in 1978. Still takes great photos.

Judgement

Drafts are pretty useless to me if I don't have the device where the media were saved with me when I want to post.

The edit function would have been more useful.

Why do people do these things?

Yeah, I cropped in on this one. A benefit of shooting medium format.

Headframes make cool subjects. Here's a shot I took in Eureka UT last year.

A dark valley where a lake is surrounded by frost-covered trees contrasts with sunlit mountains in the background.

Kinda like the yin and yang. Bright, sunny mountains vs dark, frosty valley. The blue cast is in the raw scanned image. I just dehazed the mountains a little in Lightroom.

Curious to know what people think.
