Last weekend I visited the Constitution Marsh in Garrison, NY. It was my first time going to this location and I found it to be really beautiful and peaceful. I find I am happiest when experimenting with new techniques and challenging myself to take unique forms of images, so below are a few of the results!
I had a few color shots left in my Holga 120N, which is a plastic, medium format "toy camera", which takes 120mm film. I brought my pinhole attachment for it, wanting to capture as much of the location as possible. There was a lot of light leak on this occasion, and I might want to tape my camera along the side to avoid losing detail.

With my 5D I wanted to explore using neutral density filers (which darkens the shot, allowing the use of slow shutter speeds) during afternoon sun to smooth the surface of the water and elongate the movement of clouds.
