AJ's past flickr's photostream

I apologize for any inconvenience.

I think i'm going to start slowly transitioning to film, for many reasons which i'll talk about in later uploads. I shot this a year ago with my friends Hasselblad with some Velvia 50 in it. Something got in the way of the film and i had these black pieces of something in front of all of the transparencies except this one. I remember when i got the film back and looked at this on a light table, it was just unreal.

The scan didn't look too hot out of the Nikon, i needed to do some contrast, saturation, and curves adjustments, but this is at least kind of close to what the transparency looks like.

Totally spur the moment. Checked the weather, supposed to be mostly clear, new moon, and no precipitation..it was just too good to pass up (especially in January). I set my alarm for 3:30am to be able to catch this. When I got up to the mountain, it was still dark. The glow in the back is Government Camp, Oregon in case anyone is wondering why it looks like a sunset :p
