For the first time in 3 years of living here I had a weekend free in June. Unbelievable. Last weekend my ward from church had their yearly campout down in Mapleton UT. I don't think I've eaten so many marshmallows in one sitting in my entire life. I think almost every kid there had smores for breakfast. How awesome is that? Worst night sleep of my life but it was a complete blast. Hopefully, next year I'll be able to go again (though I doubt it)...
And since you guys asked. Here is the technical info:
Camera : Nikon F5
Film : Fuji 400H
Lens : 50mm 1.4
Aperture : 1.4 the whole time
Developement : Noritsu QSF V30SM done by myself
Scanning : Fuji Frontier "all hard"
Editing program : Photoshop CS2 with some adjustment to levels, curves and selective color but most of them are straight out of camera

The picture of the campfire is insane (in a great way).
Lucky ward! 1. They get to go on a camp out and 2. You took pictures of it!
Jonathan...
nice frames...there's something about the 50 on a full frame (kind of odd to say it that way :-)) camera...
the scans look amazing..film has a look all it's own...

Our ward in Boston goes to "Camp Joseph" in Sharon, Vermont and I always take lots of photos. Ward Campouts are the best! :)
