dead blackeyed susans
After dragging my large format camera into the mountain and being attached my gnats. I felt like my meter readings were off for some reason. I was trying to take a paper negative of Pine Grove Furnace. setup the camera, compose the image, focus, focus again, load the paper, take a light reading, adjust the aperture, set the cable, set shutter speed, pull the slide. Recheck and shoot.... as a bunch of people walked from around the furnace... :( I took 4 shots all horribly overexposed. I was not about to come away with nothing, after finding how bad I did I went out to the back yard and shot this, also over exposed but at least not as bad as what I did in the mountain and with all the bugs.
