No it's the $100 Paul C. Buff normal shaped one.

John,
It is visible from the highway, but just barely. At that point along Hwy 46 there are no landmarks to tell you just WHICH group of hills contains the chapel and the road. If you Google "Shandon Chapel Hill" I think there is a Web site with directions. It really is in the middle of nowhere which makes it all the more remarkable. I believe the interior was furnished with some relics left over from the construction of Hearst Castle.

t0aster, that's a good example that it is the photographer, not the camera, that makes a fine photograph.
One of my favorite shots from back when I was doing weddings. Completely unplanned, and I lucked out on the exposure since I was shooting on the fly with the built-in meter.
I met a guy recently who shoots weddings (digitally) here in Portland and when I told him I used to shoot weddings with manual focus medium format film cameras he was stunned. He couldn't imagine such a thing--to him it was as antiquated and foreign as if I had used a loom to weave the fabric from which I sewed my own clothes. Whereas if someone handed me an up-to-the-minute DSLR and said, "Go forth and photograph weddings," I would be as confused as a monkey with a slide rule.

Very nice! I'm not a huge fan of shooting weddings but I would rather do it with film than digital if I was after a more artistic look (and had a patient client willing to work with me!).
Here's one from this morning. I had some comp time from work so I took off for the morning to a new location I've been meaning to scout, just with digital and 35mm to see how it was. Need to develop my Tri-X tonight but here is a digisnap. Nikon D800E, 50mm f/1.2 @2.8, ISO 50, just as the sun poked through the clouds. I massaged this shot a bit in Lightroom by kicking the yellows more towards green and a slight amount of dodging:

Those last two are great in their own way, love the tones of the wedding one and the D800 seems almost to have a 3 dimensionality to me. Anyway, an old one from the north east.

Stumbled across these today. All made at the Sonoma County Fair in California, from left to right 1999-2004. I like the prizes, and of course the appearance of our son, who is now ten (!). I wish we'd have kept this going, but our streak was disrupted when we moved to Oregon.
