Ikea on Portra 400

Olympus OM-2, Olympus OM Zuiko MC Auto-S 50mm f/1.4, Kodak Portra 400.

For some this is “The Happiest Place on Earth” of home furnishing. It’s interesting that some would snub the modern style of Ikea’s furnitures though I’ve found some very useful household items for my own home. I have a lot of fun visiting this place for it’s photographic-ness from the isles of color, neat repetitive stacks of items stacked on top of each other, a titanic warehouse, and a very interesting architectural interior. When I find myself spending more than 2 hours wandering the interior of this big blue and yellow building, it can work up an appetite. Usually a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun will do or a hot dog, or Swedish meatballs perhaps?

Light Falls

Olympus OM-2, H.Zuiko Auto-W 24mm f/2.8, Fuji 400H.  This is an exercise in exposure. Notice you can still see details in the shadows as well as in the highlights. If this scene were taken with most digital cameras, you’d either get no details in the highlights or no details in the shadows. By using film, I was able to capture both. This is how I “saw” the scene and with film, it allowed me to show the details in the extreme range from dark to light. Also note how extremely sharp the Olympus Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 lens is.
