Ned's photos with the keyword: sunny 16

Oak at Crane Creek Regional Park. This is a 5x7" straight print. Besides the leak on the lower right, there is a strange blurriness which makes an interesting effect... the center of the print jumps out. Under the "tree arch" the print looks extremely sharp. Too many possibilities: * it was the last frame, so maybe the film lost tension? * Shot at 1/50, which is slower than I've tried with this camera? * Sometimes this camera has smaller DOF than I expect? This was F11. Who knows? But it looks sort of dreamy.

I walk by these oaks very often. Just on the other side is one of my favorite views in all of Sonoma County. This is a straight 5x7 print. I'm very new at this but this print came out better than I expected. On a whim this roll was shot entirely "sunny 16" with no metering at all, and this one looked like it would be the most difficult to print so I did it first. Little did I know it was going to happen, but my old Weston meter has just stopped working, so now I'll be shooting this 120 folder "sunny 16" for a while longer whether I want to or not! I guess I'm glad for the practice and also some confidence because most of the frames came out just fine.

Laguna Lake pinhole paper negative. This lake is at the Northern edge of Marin County and the Southern edge of Sonoma County. An alternate way to drive home from walking the dog walking me... Exp 2 minutes, made with this camera
