Fall, 2010

For this shot I switched to Ektar. I liked the results, and in fact right on the heels of shooting my best ever (from a technical standpoint) black and white roll with the Ikoflex, I went on to shoot my best ever color roll. I like this shot, but I don't know if it's my favorite. There's another shot further on which I like more.

This isn't the most colorful shot that I took, but the foggy scene and strange colors convinced me that this is also a shot that I want to share. If I'm not mistaken, this was really how it looked, although I didn't note it at the time. This wasn't from the pedestrian bridge, incidentally. It's in the distance in this shot, and I'm actually on a road bridge. The water is much calmer here because of a dam further downstream by the pedestrian bridge.

This was taken from the same bridge as shot 3, but in the other direction.

If I'm not mistaken, I was standing in the hamlet of Pysely when I took this, looking into Cercany. That's the sign indicating the village limits.

This is my favorite shot of the bunch, especially since it's one of the few shots that seemed to escape the scanner trouble that I've been having. This was taken in Cercany. I mainly like the vivid colors in this one, which may be down to the fact that I was shooting Ektar through an uncoated Zeiss lens.

The day that I took Fall foliage photos with my Ikoflex, I also had my cameraphone with me. This was one of my best shots, I think, although I've still post-processed it for iPernity.

By chance, I noticed that the Fall colors were starting to show in Luzna, so this is one of several shots I took, although again inhibited by the cameraphone.

This was my latest attempt at a Fall foliage shot of Zofin, an island in the River Vltava in Prague. Over in the distance on the right you can also see the Narodni Divadlo, or National Theatre. It would have been nice to get fewer greens and more yellows and oranges, but apparently Prague wasn't as far along when I took this as Cercany.

I got better results on the plains up to the northwest of the city, where it generally gets colder sooner. This was on Letecka, one of the closest residential streets to Ruzyne Airport. Letecka would sort of mean "Aviator Street" in English. I'm not aware of whether it falls within the borough of Ruzyne or not.
