Shot on slide Film (Fuji Velvia 50) circa 2002 and with a non-digital SLR (Nikon F5), this is an all time favorite of mine. Many of us will be grilling today, having a beer and enjoying the company of friends and family. I know I will. But, beyond the fun, let’s take some time to remember those who gave us this holiday and who continue selflessly keeping us safe and free. Hope your 4th is filled with fun, sun, family and a cold beverage.

I always bust out this photo for the 4th of July. It’s one of my all time favorite shots that I captured. This was done “old school” on slide Film (Fuji Velvia 50) and a non-digital SLR (Nikon F5). Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with recycling the past…especially when the colors are this vibrant! Hope your 4th is as good as mine is going to be.

Every year I look for a better photo to post. An every year I end up posting the same photo. I took this years ago with my Nikon F5 and Fuji Velvia 50. While I’ve enjoyed shooting digital, I have to admit, when I see photos like this it makes me long for the warmth and contrast of slide film.
Happy 4th of July. I hope you all are enjoying some great food and drinks with friends and family.

Always loved this photo. I took it March 12, 2003 using my Nikon F5 and Fuji Velvia 50 slide film. You just can’t get warmth like this with digital. Anyhow, hope your 4th is fantastic.
