What This Blog Is

Hey there! I'm Mx. Arethusa Halcyon, and this is my photography blog. I mostly do landscape photography but there's other stuff mixed in sometimes. Additionally, I have recently been getting into "retro" digital photography, so some of that might show up. In general, just here to have fun and take pictures.

I finally got my film photos developed

taken on Kodak Gold 400 620 format film with a thrifted Kodak twin lens reflex from the 50s. I absolutely love the colors but it cost like $30 for twelve photos all-in. that's why the season changes rather dramatically, I kept it loaded up but on a shelf for months because I didn't want to waste shots. Still ended up with a few I don't like, but overall extremely happy with how these look.

The DC Metro looks very spooky through a Mavica

Manhattan by Mavica

On a recent trip to NYC, I shot some pictures with my 2002 Sony Mavica FD200. I like the retroish low quality look, and I think they came out well.

I particularly like this last one. I think the shadows contrast well with the sunlight further on, and it has some decent perspective. All in all, I had a lot of fun with it. Not planning on making this my only travel camera, but it's a solid piece of tech even 20+ years on.

Rain and light

Trying my hand at a themed series. Think it came out alright.
