A day in NYC

by bijansabet

It was one of those wonderful mild winter days in New York City today. 

I’m really loving our NYC office. We opened it up last summer and it’s so great having our own place here. 

In between some interesting meetings, I was able to walk around and take a few photographs in the hood.

David and I made it up to the roof of our building.

After dinner I went over to Dumbo and practiced some long exposures.

Using a tripod with a small aperture and long shutter times doesn’t feel natural to me. Still have a lot to learn but it’s fun trying to figure this out. I didn’t frame this shot very well but I like the light beam from the ferry moving under the bridge.

Brooklyn is such a special place. I wish I had more time. Look forward to getting back soon.

Another roll of film

by bijansabet

I’ve been having a lot of fun getting back into film. There is something about the entire process. From the front end of using a rangefinder to the ultimately seeing the prints and scans come back.

Maybe it’s the delayed gratification, I’m not really sure. 

I always loved the feel of Tri-X film so I popped in a roll. I still have so much to learn about this new (used) M6. The hardest part is getting the shutter speed right since there isn’t autoexposure on it. Actually there isn’t any auto anything. 

I had another Kodak Portra roll so I’m shooting that next. What other 35mm film should I try?
