The World's End Park in Hingham MA

 It turns out that The World's End is actually a REAL PLACE, and it's in Hingham Massachusetts not far from where I live.

It's right here on Yelp too. 

Well, I've been scouting out shooting locations for a cosplay atistic style of TV show for WCA9 TV in Weymouth, and 1 place I wanted VERY MUCH to check out was The World's End, which is actually a private property nonprofit Park.

It's ALSO NOT FREE.

But, the reviews and photos of The World's End park were amazingly gorgeous! And, it it was highly rated.

My friend, and co-director, Roland, drove up there with me today, and they lady in the little hunt talked to us, and I even had to sign a waver. It's at least $6 per person, and $100 for a wedding, and there's also a membership price if you want that.

She was very kind, and generous and spoke to us for quite a while, and even gave me a lot of information, literature, and so on, and generously allowed us to take some sample photos.

Unfortunately, the lighting today was not ideal, and very cloudy. But, I did manage to get a lot of interesting footage.

It's SUPER CLEAN too. No liter at all.

If I had funds to shoot here I would.

I'm very grateful for letting us walk around and take some photos.

Well, I guess I haven't kept up with this blog as much as I'd thought I did.

I've shot so much photography, and published it all over the place like Google+, Facebook, and Flickr, but I thought I placed it here.

I shot so much stuff in 2012, that I guess I've just never gotten around to ever posting it.

I used a vintage VIVITAR 55mm orange filter on these.

They were sometimes called "sunset filters", but were originally invented for black & white photography to help the film exposure see things like the sky which is often as "nonrepro blue". Using orange light band wavelength would clash with the blue light band and what would normally show as nothing on the film negative exposure would show up as a sky, or whatever you were using a color filter for.

In the 1970s orange filters were popular in color photography giving it a sunset effect which looked like a sunset lighting, but usually used for human portraits or figures. My father extensively studied this technique as a teenager, and actually took college classes just to learn how to use his camera. And, I learned this technique directly from my father.

I'd seen this technique in magazines & editorials throughout the 1980s-1990s then it just sort of fell out of use.

I'm also using a common SLR FOG FILTER in these.

I like to experiment with everything in a nontraditional way. And, I'm always very psyched about finding and using old vintage components like filters, or lenses.
