Revisit Glacier National Park
[portfolio_slideshow slideheight=500 ids=”1508,1509,1510,1511,1512,1513,1514,1515,1516,1517″] My family and I just spent last week in the Glacier National Park. Here are a few photos taken in the park.
Devil’s Lake
I visit the Devil’s Lake State Park almost every year, mostly in fall. With heavy rain in Wisconsin for the past couple of weeks, the water level is really high. Fortunately, the rain stopped and I was able to set up my tent and camp there for one night on the weekend. The next day …
Tiedeman Pond
I got a few rolls of Fujifilm Pro 160S last year right before it’s out of production. Its colors look different than Kodak Ektar 100. As film selections become fewer and fewer and the price keeps going higher and higher, I don’t really know how much longer I will shoot films, especially the 135 format. …
Fujinon SW 105mm f/8
It’s been a very busy month in May. I took this picture on May 1st, but did not have it developed until today (June 5th). A special note to this picture is that it’s taken with the Fujinon SW 105mm f/8 lens that was successfully removed from my broken Fujifilm G617 camera and then mounted …
Great Blue Heron and Wood Ducks
Although I don’t have any experience with other 400mm lenses, from any brand, I think the Hexanon AR 400mm f/5.6 UC lens may not be considered a sharp one under today’s standard. But I have to spend more time with it to get a better idea about how to make the best of it. As …
Spring 2013
The more I use the X-Pro1, the more I like it, especially its color. Although it still has some quirks I would never like, I guess I can’t ask too much. After all, no camera is perfect. The Hexanon AR 35mm f/2 AE lens is phenomenal. It produces very sharp images, and its bokeh is …
Photographs On Display
It’s always a pleasure to see my photographs being printed, framed, and displayed. The experience is totally different than seeing them on a computer screen. These three photos are from my series Solitude – An Endless Journey. They are LaserJet prints on photographic papers, and the images size is 24 x 30 inches (33 x …
Two Trees
Some of you may know that I broke my Fujifilm G617 few months ago, and Fujifilm couldn’t repair it because the parts are no longer available. Not that I repaired it by myself, but I bought another one because I really love this format. Winter is finally gone. I feel it’s too hot already.
Professor Tyrone Greive
Violin Professor Tyrone Greive is retiring from the University of Wisconsin-Madison this spring. He had retired from the Madison Symphony Orchestra as a concertmaster in 2010. He performed the Violin Concerto No.2 by Szymanowski with the UW-Madison Symphony Orchestra tonight. The Department of Music will hold a Retirement Reception for him on Sunday. I was …
Spring is (almost) here
We had about a week of spring in Wisconsin. And all of a sudden it felt like winter again today, although we didn’t get 10+ inches of snow in Madison.
