Just Watchin' The River Flow.

One of my favorite spots along Richland Creek in the Laurel-Snow State Natural Area near Dayton TN. I almost always stop here and often find something to photograph. But even if I don't, it's still a nice place to sit and recharge for a few minutes, just watching, and listening to the river flow.

Just one of the reasons I shoot large format, controlling image shape. On the left is a test shot from when I was testing a medium format Fuji GS645S. Nothing wrong with the image quality when printed 8x10 and I liked the shot, but the converging lines of the courthouse really bothered me. On the right is a shoot from a week or two later, under similar conditions, taken with my 4x5. This time I was able to use the cameras movements to keep the vertical lines of the courthouse parallel. It doesn't look like it's falling over backwards any more.

I had plans to spend the day in the darkroom and try to put a dent in my backlog of printing. Well, I guess one print is a dent, small but still a dent. This view, from one of my favorite spots along Richland Creek in the Laurel-Snow State Natural Area near Dayton TN, was made with my Noblex swing lens Panoramic camera. One of the difficulties of photographing with a camera that has a 146 degree field of view is that the lighting can, and often does, vary across that field of view. Printing this negative was like making three prints at the same time with each section requiring its own combination of highlight and shadow exposures. It takes good exposure notes, concentration, and a bit of math to come up with, and execute, an exposure plan for a successful print. I'm happy with my final print, but it took it out of me so I called it quits for the day.

A better digitization of the print to come.

I realized I've been neglecting Joe, my Noblex, lately so I brought it along on my last couple of outings. Unfortunately, for some reason I had it loaded with Fuji Across 100 II. Not the best choice for Laurel-Snow State Natural Area and Bald River Falls. Because the camera's slowest shutter speed is 1/30 and I had two metered exposures for 1 sec, one for 1/2, and one for 1/4,I had to make a couple of 30 shot multi exposures, as well as a 15 and 8 shot multi exposure. The negatives look good though. Here's a phone shot and inversion of the negatives.

Welcome to Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras

Hello film photographers! We are the Shutter Brothers, Kelley and Kevin Lane, and we would like to welcome you the the Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras Podcast. We both started shooting film cameras as children growing up in the 1960’s, and when when digital photography came along, we went along willingly. Recently, however, we both have made a return to shooting film and even developing it ourselves. Along the way, we have had to learn some new things and relearn some old things as well, and we feel it is important to share what we are learning with the growing numbers of people who are discovering the joy of shooting classic film cameras and making your photography hand-crafted. So, we created the Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras Podcast for you. In each episode, Kelley and I sit in the same room and share with you (and each other) our tips and tricks about film, cameras, processing, and shooting techniques. We love to read listener email and answer questions, and and we hope that something we say will inspire our listeners to grab their cameras, load them with film, and go capture memorable moments and places.

We are not “anti-digital.” In fact, as neither of us currently have a darkroom for making prints, we employ a “blended” approach to turning our negatives into positive images. And, we use our iPhone cameras for snapshots and other times when appropriate. Furthermore, some of our shooting ideas and techniques can be applied to digital photography as well. However, we have found great enjoyment in getting our vintage cameras out of the closet and making them work again (we also “occasionally” add to our camera collection). And our fun extends to developing our film ourself. It has become a “hands-on” hobby again, and everything we read today online tells us that more and more of you and purchasing film cameras and learning how to use them. We couldn’t be more pleased to be on the same journey as all of you.

We plan to make as many podcasts as our professional and personal schedules allow, but we hope to release about two shows each month. Also, you will finds posts of our activities right here on this page. Finally, we hope you will visit our blog which you can find at https://unclejonesyscameras.blogspot.com

Happy Shooting!
