Better than a stairway

So, apart from snowstorms, there is life in D.C. This are two pictures taken in the escalators to the Metro with my fisheye. It takes about two minutes and a half to climb, up or down, the whole thing if you don't walk.

Snowmaggedon

Some pictures of the aftermath of the historic snowstorm that hit Washington D.C. between the 5th and the 6th of February. Coming up, I'll add some taken with the Fisheye and the Holga, if I can find where to develop 120 mm film in this city.

Again, 25 ASA

Last week I said the Fisheye is more reliable than any other toy camera. Then I realized I had never shown the second roll of 25 ASA film I took this summer. Well, here it is:







The last picture happens to be the same one I posted here, taken with Holga, so its easy to compare them. I still prefer the color saturation of Holga, but I like the definition the 25 ASA gives me.

And if you're curious, the first roll can be seen here.

MACBA Barcelona

This is the square in front of the Contemporary Arts Museum of Barcelona. I've got this fixation with it, I always take a picture when I pass by, probably because there is always so much movement around (skaters mostly).

The problem is my toy cameras are, well, toy cameras, so there is a big gap between how many pictures I've taken (loads) and how many I've got that are worth showing (a couple).

Anyway, this happens to be the best shot so far:

I find the fisheye is the most reliable of all the toy cameras, even pushing it with the 25 ASA film, I can get more than 50% of the pictures "viewable".

Grunge HDR

Ok, so I've been playing around with HDR and, for once, instead of looking for a more realistic feeling with the picture, I've just clicked on Photomatix's "Grunge" settings and started from there.

Gran Vía

Por cierto, que he añadido dos blogs a los enlaces. Holga Blog va de fotografía y la Associació de Veïns de Bellvitge incluye muy a menudo fotografías de época.
