I recently got back home from visiting my family in Lake Tahoe. It is a place I am very familiar with and have been visiting since I can remember (a requirement for those hailing from San Francico.) This year was different, first I had my daughter with me for the first time, and second I did not get into the lake for the first time I can remember. While the clear water becaned, as always, I was forced to look but not touch from our rented houses patio. I was given the early shift with the baby which meant due to the time differece I was often on the patio around 3 in the morning. This is where the majority of the photographs were taken documenting my yearly migration west. This is also where I first attempted exposures long enough to have to think about reciprocity. Unfortunatley, for those that are more familiary with the term than I was/am, the only film I had with me was 500T. The results are still awaiting development while I am writing this but I fear they are not great. For those ignorant of the stupidity of trying to capture things on film when cheaper, faster, and arguably better technology sits in their pocket all day, reciprocity has to do with the reduced sensitivity of film to light after being subjected to light for a prolonged period of time. Basically, the film becomes less sensitive to light the longer it is exposed to light. Each film has its "P factor" yes, it is called that, and some are easy to find on line while others are things of legend that people have only discovrered, like fire, through trial, error, and death. The easiest, so what I did, way to address reciprocity is by meetering the exposure and multiplying by the power of 1.3.

You can drop in images anywhere in the body like this:

caption goes here. location, date, whatever.

More writing here. Keep going. The post has no sidebar, no widgets, nothing competing with the text. Just the words and whatever images you put in.

You can use blockquotes for fragments, quotes, or anything you want to pull out from the main flow of the text.

And then more writing after that. That's it. That's the whole thing.
