Home Again
We have just arrived back from Winona where I was visiting my sister, and taking the opportunity to shoot classic styled photographs in a very old city as well as write about the wonderful attractions there.
For the trip I shot principally with my Argus C3 Rangefinder on Fuji Neopan Professional and was developed using my Caffenol Method .
The first batch will be up shortly, please enjoy. Foto Des Tages and Technik Der Woche will resume next week.

Locks, Dams, and Hights: Winona
Winona has continued to surprise me everyday I have spent here. The other day when I posted I talked about the attractions that would make photographing this city excellent, now I can add a few more.
Locks and Dams are a common, and prominent part of this area, and I didn't have to go far before I ran into one along the interstate. These locks are constantly in use so shooting a barge coming through is absolutely no problem. We stopped at two and both times a barge was entering or exiting the lock. I wish we had been there during better lighting conditions however such things happen when traveling with family.
State parks are very prominent in this area, and fairly easy to get to. We stopped at Great River Bluffs State Park and John Latsch State Park, where I was able to capture quite amazing vistas from atop the bluffs. Be warned that John Latsch State Park is really a massive staircase up a bluff, that required more than a few stops along the way up. However at the top we were rewarded by an expansive vista. Most of the state parks in this area are fairly small and are easily navigable.

Technik Der Woche #3
Shoot Manually With Out A Meter
If you have ever used a manual film SLR or rangefinder you may have encountered shooting without the aid of a meter. If so this guide may seem a little redundant. However if you've ever been interested in vintage photography and cameras this is a must tutorial. There is a rule in photography for meterless shooting called the Sunny 16 rule.
"On a sunny day set aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting] for a subject in direct sunlight."
From this and the nature of shutter speeds one can derive the speeds and f/stop combinations. Here is the chart that I have had the best luck with.

The End Of Monthly Photo Of The Day Themes
I am ending the the monthly theme for photo of the day, mostly because, I am getting really bored with flowers. From here on out I am going to be shooting what ever I damn well please. Thanks alot. I know this will put a damper on the recap idea I had earlier, however I will only pick the best out for a non featured recap.
A Fellow Photographer
Just today I received a comment from a good friend of mine, Marcus Langevin, whom has just started a photo blog here on wordpress.com . He hasn't posted much of his work yet, however having seen many of his shots in person, I can tell you he has great talent.
I ask anyone interested to go check out his photo blog marcuslangevin.wordpress.com
