Big Sur, CA
Sputnik – Techpan
Beautiful coast line in the Big Sur area of the California coast.
Cheatham Hill
Stereflektoskop (don’t remember the film, aperture, etc.)
Located at one of the many Civil War battle sites in Marietta, GA. Beautiful fall day with vibrant fall colors, this was looking up at some of the oak trees.
Nubble Lighthouse At York, Maine
Sputnik (don’t remember the film, aperture, etc.)
I submitted a B/W Techpan version of this a few folios ago. I don’t think that I submitted a color one.
Blobbed!!!
#36 – Sputnik – don’t remember the film or settings
This was taken at a retreat for high school kids. The “blob” is the inflatable thingy. One person sits at the far end while another person jumps from the platform onto the near end. This propels the person at the far end up in the air. Everybody stopped what they were doing to watch because the girl that is up in the air said it was OK to have the heaviest guy there jump on the blob. I think this one set a record. She emerged from the water crying, but everyone was cheering. She loved the attention more than she hated the pain and did it again 10 minutes later.
“1959”
#35 – Sputnik – f/4.5 Provia 400F
This was taken at a play that my stepdaughter was in. Flash photography was not allowed. A couple of months ago on the MF3D Yahoo group, there was a discussion about wide apertures with a Sputnik. It was the same advice that we’ve all heard over the years. Apertures wider than f/16 are useless. This was taken at f/4.5 and even though there is definite softness, I don’t think it’s useless.
17th Street Bridge
#34 – Stereflektoskop – Kodak Tech Pan
This is a bridge that goes over Interstate 75 in Atlanta. It was under construction at the time. I thought that the architecture, the angles and shadows were interesting.
