November project: Light or fLights

[Frog]

Having had a couple of friendly reminders I figure I better get this started.
I've been going through the suggestion list and there are good ideas. I may not use the specific theme but do broaden or narrow them to try to include as many levels and interests as possible.
Light or Lights covers a broad spectrum including natural or artifical, ugly or beautiful.
Be creative and have fun.

I'm also trying hard to get this featured photo update to happen regularly but there seems to be a communication problem at one end or the other.

Excellent Project Choice!

I don't have many choices though - but that will give me the incentive to pick up my camera! It's been a few weeks.

This is the very first photo I took where I had the actual intention of playing with the light. It is the 52nd 35mm frame I ever shot in my life, #15 on my second roll!

I had asked my dad for a better camera than the 126 Instamatic I had gotten for a birthday some years earlier, and he dug out his old camera and told me to give it a try. I think it was a test....

The camera was a folding rangefinder, a Voigtlander Vitessa, with the Ultron 50mm f:2 lens. Shutter from B to 1/500, aperture from f:2 to f:16. No meter built in, I carried a handheld light meter. I still have the camera and the meter, and they both still work.

For this particular shot, I pointed the meter in several different directions, mentally guessed an average, realizing that the reading towards the brightest reflection ought to be ignored, and then set for 2 stops underexposed.

This was in January of 1980, and it remains my one favorite "own" photograph of all time.

Unfortunately, while the Kodachrome holds up color-wise, the film is not flat in the slide mount, a little bit wavy, so my film scanner doesn't get the entire frame sharply focused, I don't know what I can do about that, other than unmount it sandwich it in glass, but I imagine that would introduce problems of its own.....
