120 Challenge Shoot

120 Challenge ShootBroad Channel Island - 120 Challenge Photos

This last weekend I traveled to Jamaica Bay, in part because of Jake's prodding (see also part 2), in order to visit Broad Channel Island. Broad Channel is in the Gateway National Recreation Area and feels like a small fishing village. In the northern section of the island is the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, which has all kinds of waterfowl and turtles. It takes about an hour on the A Train, but is a nice trip out to part of Queens that I would have no other reason to venture to. Rockaway Beach is also two more stops away, so there is extra impetus to venture out to the edge of Queens.

While I visited Broad Channel, I took photographs for the 120 Challenge. The goal was to shoot a roll of 120 film over the course of 120 minutes. I ended up using an old Soviet-made camera, the Lubitel 166B with Fujichrome (slide) Provia 400F Professional (RHP III). You can see other photos I've taken with my Lubitel - it is a fairly inexpensive entry camera into TLR photography. I'm only posting the best four here (for now). Unfortunately, the portrait shots I took I overexposed so bad, you can't really tell it is a person. That's what you get for using an old Soviet-made camera.

Check out the 120 Challenge Pool for others' 120 in 120 photographs.
