one of the first images from the Yashica. There is not a light leak on the right side, it's just a poor scan but I'm not going to redo it. I like the camera, love the DOF I'm getting. But this roll all turned out really glowy in the highlights throughout for some reason. Most images do have sharpness where the exposure is more midtones/shadows. Was chatting with some film friends last night and they think the lens was smudged, which of course I wouldn't really notice in a TLR. Hopefully this was just a one roll thing. I have to see if my developer is any good and I might try a roll of bw again today to confirm it was just a smudgy lens. This was Lomo 400 because it was the only thing I had at the time, but I have since purchased some Tri-X and Kodak Gold.

Salida, Colorado is a funky excellent town in south-ish central-ish Colorado. It's a great base for things like Great Sand Dunes and so forth. We love to go and rent a place for a week or more and just "be".
Love Salida one of my favorite towns spent a weekend there a couple years back on the Fourth of July and saw the fireworks on Mt as well as walked trails, ate at restaurants and breweries (I am beer nerd LOL)

Love the warm, radiating glow. intention or not, works really well for this image.
Stellar shot, the pin sharp focus and dreamy dof really make the image pop. 70-200 or something longer?

Gilding the lily after yesterday’s post, but I ended up paging through pics of him.

One more story about Hatch, since my mind is on him. Like most parrots he had people he liked and people he hated. But there is one person I ever met that he...had a crush on? Across the street from me for a while was a pet shop, and I would occasionally bring him in to say hi to the proprietors. One of them would take Hatch on her finger, and bring him close and whisper in his ear. I don't know what she was whispering, not that it mattered. But he would BLUSH. The white area around his eyes would turn pink. It was as if he were sweet on her. I'd never seen him do that before or since.
