More Boston colour snapsh!ts

This is the roll of Velvia 50 I shot in Boston.

Bunch of Gezi protesters outside Massachusetts State House.

This could’ve been good if I’d bumped into them whilst they were in the sunlight & her flag was unfurled.

The light & the trees were really nice on these roads around Bunker Hill, but I let the camera choose the expousre & it didn’t quite do it justice.

Same thing walking around the MIT campus.

The Media Lab’s new building. Unfortunately I couldn’t get inside :(

Some more angles of the Stata Center (other side of the building than in the previous post, I reloaded when walking through).

Somebody gets to play with a robot!

Spot me (I am in there!).

Some 2012 snapshits

More scanning, some snapsh!ts between August & December last year. Starting off with Covent Garden during the London Olympics, unfortunate that I was only carrying b&w at the time asa the flags were all different colours.

Jumping forward to December, walking back to the train station after the (amazing) PostSecret Live at Assembly Hall.

And then we appear to be in the pub again; not sure these posts reflect well upon my pastimes…

Boston colour snapsh!ts

I shot a roll of Portra & a roll of Velvia whilst in Boston, these are from the Porta. The negatives came back from Peak Imaging rather messy/dusty :/

As a Computer Scientist I couldn’t travel to Boston & not visit MIT. Unfortunately the only day I had free to go was a Sunday & being outside of (undergraduate) term time as well the whole place was a bit of a ghost town!

Standard blackboard fare in the Stata Center.

Outside the Stata Center; I have some from the other side of the building on the Velvia which I haven’t scanned yet.

I walked past Simmons Hall as well, which is one of the undergraduate residence halls at MIT. I absolutely adore the architecture; it has about 5,500x little square windows (gaining the building the nickname ‘the Sponge’) with each single room having about 9x windows. I didn’t actually realise until I saw it in person that the windows have coloured accents on the outside (although I suppose this might be a recent addition).

I was in Boston for a conference (not hosted at MIT, incidentally) & the ‘social event’ was a sunset harbour cruise. I ended up with too many very similar shots, but I was glad I took an extra to get the plane’s takeoff timed in front of the Sun.

Had to switch to the f/1.1 at this point (up to now this post was entirely with the Biogon) which evidently has fairly prominent vignetting which is obvious in these shots where the background isn’t dark like the previous two posts.
