New Orleans, Summer 2016 - Part 5

One of the days I was in New Orleans I went to Crescent Park, which was a really nice area. It is kind of hidden northeast of the French Quarter and I saw almost no one there.

I took a few images around the area and especially of the railroad lines and a destroyed wharf. First some images from my Rolleiflex:

 

I encountered a nice man practicing a flag spinning routine in the park:

I also took some 4x5 images:

 

All of the above 4x5 images were taken handheld with my Travelwide 4x5 by Wanderlust along with a 90mm f/6.8 Rodenstock lens, on HP5+.

Sally's Swamp

This was a while ago but just now getting around to developing some of this film over the weekend. A few weeks ago I went canoeing with my friend Sally at some swampland she owns, along with Dominick as well. This swamp is pretty amazing, and teeming with wildlife. We saw a turtle laying eggs:

Later on an armadillo hiding:

And what I didn't get a photo of was lots of ospreys flying around and nesting! I need to bring a big birding lens to this location.

Anyway here are a bunch of photos from in and around the swamp:

 

 

 

 
All of the above were with my Bessa R2S and 3.5cm f/1.8 Nikkor lens. I also had my Travelwide Wanderlust camera and a new 90mm f/6.8 Rodenstock lens that I shot from the canoe on HP5+ film:

That's it for this trip, now I gotta go as I'm going canoeing this afternoon as well...
