Meadow Farm Monochrome

February 2, 2015

On photo walks or days I take more pictures with my digital I am going to do more posts like this where I have multiple photographs. I have a local park where it has a lot of woods to roam in like my home. It is a lot closer and it’s quite except for the highway in the far distance. It has been chilly a lot recently but that day got cold really fast as when I left my hands were white and very dry.

My set up was my Fuji XPro-1 with the 35mm 1.4 lens

On the back side of the park there is a small fenced in pond that I think belongs to a farm that had this bent entrance with this sign.

These straight trees with not a whole lot of foliage gives great black and white landscapes.

In the Pine grove there is a small clearing with a few benches if you want to sit and read a good book.

Based around a farm that is historic in nature for the area, you can have a tour in the old farm house.

The pod was frozen over and these geese looked like they were having a good time sliding around.

thanks for looking.

The Rocks

Building by the rocks

Down on Belle Isle in the city of Richmond, people usually of younger age go down to the “rocks” to sun bath and have a good time. Belle Isle is a island that is in the middle of the James River by the downtown of Richmond. It has lots of history but currently is a city park. This is the south side of the island where you can cross on the rocks if the water is low. Stair way bringing you down to the trail from the street above.

Taken with Fuji Xpro-1 with the 23mm lens at f/8, 1/160sec, ISO 200.

Found his Pumpkin

He found his Pumpkin

Went pumpkin picking for the first time in a long time. The crop this year had a lot of great pumpkins even still after many people have walked the fields. This pumpkin patch has grown to where a lot of people come out to. I was with my family and my father picked up a pumpkin that he liked and asked for a photograph. I took out my Fujica 35EE that day and shot at 40mm at f2.8 of fujifilm Acros 100 black and white.

Old Fountain

Old Fountain

This is a really old fountain that is slowly crumbling away. It had a lot of ccharacterand it is really long. It is probably one of the  only tings that Longwood Gardens is letting go. It is by the large fountain where you can watch the water spout show. I took this on my Voigtlander Bessa R2 with Ilford FP4 125 film when I was there.

Down Flower Hall

Down Flower Hall

We spent a solid day at Longwood Gardens up in Pennsylvania because it is worth it. their conservatory building is wonderful and has a lot of variety of plants within its glass walls. this is one of the halls that connect one big room to the other, I waited till all the people were out of the hall when I took this.

Taken on my Voigtlander  Bessa R2 on FP4 125 Ilford film with the Canon 50mm f1.4 ltm lens at 1.4.
