Sputnik – Provia 100 – F22 1/50th sec
At the high point of a hike that took us up about to about a 1000 foot elevation to an overlook of Bozeman, MT.

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.
Linda Nygren
All of these images were taken with my Sputnik which was tuned/rebuilt by Ted Baskin. All taken with tripod. The exposure is unrecorded but most likely using f/32 (or whatever is all the way past f/22 on my Spud) and 1/25 second on Provia 100.
- Beach “Cottage”, Naples Florida
The public beach at Naples Florida gives views of many such humble abodes. Note the Sea Grapes and Sea Oats in the foreground. A little dark, but I still like it. - Cypress Trees
Near the Kirby Storter boardwalk in the Big Cypress Swamp area of south Florida - Shoreline at Solbakken Resort, Lutsen MN
The Lake Superior shoreline is one of my favorite places, with special charm in winter. I try to visit every Jan or Feb, as well as once or twice yearly during other seasons. - Lake Superior Ice Breakup
Unlike smaller MN lakes, the big lake does not freeze over completely in the winter. But during periods of calm more sheltered areas will freeze, then will break up periodically due to wave and wind action and the sheets of broken ice pile up along the shore. The sound when it is breaking up is also awesome (in the original sense).
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.
Chihuly Exhibit
#33 Stereflektoskop – Velvia 50
A shot from the Chihuly glass exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens from a couple of years ago.
Black Crow at Pebble Beach
Interesting landscape with the fallen cypress trees, oats, and ocean. Can you find the crow?
Kodak Techpan with a Sputnik – I don’t remember the exposure.
Black Crow at Half Dome
That very same crow met me 4 years later at the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. 😉 It was an awesome hike to the top. I’d like to do it again before I’m unable to.
Velvia in a Stereflektoskop – I don’t remember the exposure.
Big Sur, CA
This was taken from the balcony of a restaurant somewhere on Highway 1 in Big Sur, California. The mist hung over the ocean for while that day as I remember it. I would have liked to have been able to see the water.

The Lone Cypress
A typical postcard picture from the Pebble Beach area of the California coast.
