    Hybrid Shooters: Film and Digital Travel Photography

    January 7, 2016 / No Comments

    Over the years, I have posted “What’s in My Bag?” about various trips.  On the last two trips, I have traveled with both digital and film cameras, and I wanted to do a separate post on traveling for hybrid shooters.  As you might expect, it’s easier to travel with digital.  Memory cards are small, and you don’t have to worry about the effect of x-ray machines at security checkpoints.  I also feel more comfortable experimenting with digital.  You can try new techniques, and the only loss is your time.  However, I find that there are times when I prefer film over digital, and it’s worth the extra effort. There are…

    Metadata from your film camera: Review of Meta35

    September 5, 2015 / No Comments

    One of the great features of digital photography, aside from the instant gratification of knowing you’ve got the shot, is that the cameras record your settings, the metadata, assisting you in evaluating what worked and what did not.  Most film cameras had no way of recording the settings used, requiring that the photographer keep meticulous notes, which could be consulted once the film was returned from the lab.  As film photography developed over the years, manufacturers were able to design film cameras which recorded the shooting information.  However, extracting the information from the camera required special software and a cable proprietary to the manufacturer.  In researching the purchase of my Canon…

    #filmroadtrip: Road Test – Barbuda & Antigua

    July 7, 2015 / No Comments

    Last November, on our first trip with film in eight years (#filmroadtrip: Road Test – Anguilla), we learned a lot of lessons. One of my missions on this trip was to correct at least some of the mistakes I made.  So on this #FilmRoadTrip: Road Test – Barbuda & Antigua, I tweaked a few things, shot more film, and was pretty pleased with the results.  As always, though, there is still room for improvement. The Film Kit Traveling with a lot of gear is not easy.  I wanted to shoot both medium format and 35mm, along with my digital, but I wanted to watch the weight.  I knew that on…

    Things to Do at Jumby Bay, Antigua

    July 5, 2015 / 4 Comments

    I’m not really a big “activity” person when it comes to vacation.  As long as I have a nice beach and beautiful water to swim in, I’m pretty much set.  So when I found myself looking forward to what “the Concierge recommends” in the morning “Jumby Journal,” I kind of surprised myself.  Not being one to look for things to do, I was excited to see what was “on the menu,” and had a really good time joining in.  We were on the island for only three days, but we were able to participate in loads of fun activities, which left us exhausted, but really happy.  Here are just some…

    Saturdays are for Smokey’s, Anguilla

    January 3, 2015 / No Comments

    One constant has remained for every trip to Anguilla – – Saturdays are for Smokey’s.  I remember our first trip to the island in 2007.  I heard there was live music at Smokey’s for lunch on Saturday, so I was determined to make it there on our first full day on the island.  We walked there from the CuisinArt (you could do that back then – the beach was wider).  I remember being seated at the table just inside the easternmost door, looking out over the water.  I had the jerk chicken (which I’ve had every time since), and heard The Musical Brothers performing, doing Christmas songs.  I had found…

    Take Me Back to The Dune: Bankie Banx’s Dune Preserve, Anguilla

    January 1, 2015 / No Comments

    A trip to Anguilla is not complete without a stop at Bankie Banx’s Dune Preserve. We first visited in 2007, and although our kids were young, ages 8 and 10, we forced them to stay up late so we could hear Bankie play. The place has such a relaxed feel to it, that it’s hard to pass up.  It’s kind of like being at your own beach place.  It’s just so easy to hang out there, and the views of St. Martin never get old. The sign on the road has been updated since 2007. And it’s a bit more built up since then. This year, we popped in when…
