Lakeside

We FINALLY went camping this past weekend, to the wonderful Allegany State Park. The forecast looked grim, but despite downpours as we made our way through the darkness during the three-hour drive there, the rain held off all day Saturday and we got in lots of paddling and hiking and wandering. Then the skies cleared in time for the most amazing star display, and misted up in the most magical way the next morning, much to my delight.

I threw a weeeeee tantrum, however, after seeing the results of all the shots taken using my 28mm OM1 lens, which is soft as all shit and doesn’t seem to meter properly. Either that, or I REALLY can’t focus (which should not be entirely ruled out, admittedly). But some were salvageable, with the softness adding atmosphere… or something.
