Hasselblad 500c/m Tele-Tessar CF 350mm f/5.6 6×6 100TMX HC110-b See if you can spot the climbers © October 2021 It was about 7am and about 30 degrees F. The frozen fog was just starting to dissipate from the valley floor as the sun started to warm the air. There was a group of climbers maybe 25% of the way up…

South Fork of the Merced River
1920 1530 Liberty Thermionics

I’ve been preparing some pictures from a recent trip to Yosemite, we hadn’t been in several years and i brought a couple of different camera systems with me. I’d also planned to shoot some color film which isn’t something I usually do. Most color negative film uses a developing process called C-41. I’ve never done that at home before and…

Stone in the Merced
1910 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I had a little accident a few weeks ago that left me with 2 broken arms. Seems i got into an argument with a car. He thought he was allowed to drive through the cross-walk while i was riding through it. Long story short – i lost and am now mending. It’s not really as bad as it sounds as…

The Merced River
1914 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I hope your not getting too bored of looking at the Merced! I’m getting down to the end here and will have to run a bunch of film soon. Some focus was lost over the summer – it should return here in the next few weeks. Servus.

El Capitan and the Merced River
1899 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We spent this past weekend in Yosemite and the river certainly didn’t flow like it did back in May when this picture was taken. The Merced was mostly idle and rather shallow. The only waterfall that showed even a wisp of water was Bridalveil Falls (see previous image). Up near Glacier Point there was no sign of moisture at all,…

Bridalveil Falls
1920 1918 Liberty Thermionics

This picture is kind of busy. At first it didn’t really do it for me, but after looking at it a few times i grew to like it. Usually I don’t use a long lens for the obfuscation factor but here i did. It started out innocently enough. The sun was shining directly in my eyes (read: the camera’s lens).…

Bridalveil Falls Runoff
1913 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I’ve been absent for a while, sorry about that. I’ve been trying to figure out my next project and am coming up short. I think i might try to do one of the other ideas I had for my SoFoBoMo project. There are 2 or 3 others I really liked but one that I would have tried had my schedule…

Merced River: Surging Water
1918 1920 Liberty Thermionics

There are places that you can stand along the banks of the river where the trees and rocks can’t obscure your view of the river. If you ignore your peripheral vision and focus on what’s right in front of you the flowing river can take on new and different forms. This is what I tend to do when i’m shooting…
