About the Photographer:Fred
Stelling lives in Newburgh, NY with his lovely wife Nancy; their three
exceptional children Myles, Heather and Lindsay; and the newest
addition to the family, Levi the dog. Fred has been an Argus fan
since High School Photography class, when a classmate lent him his
Dad's C-44 for an assignment when all of the Pentax K 1000 cameras had
been checked out. Fred owns various Pentax, Minolta, and Nikon
35MM cameras, as well as 2 C 44 Argus and a "brick". Fred shoots
digital for convenience, and film for love ...
The Photographs:
Beach Umbrellas on Nantucket SoundWe
traveled to Cape Cod for a week of relaxation - the C-4 came with us. I
was sitting under the umbrellas on Argust 10, and happened to look
up. The brilliant blue caught my eye, and I snapped a few shots
off. I love the way the water compliments the umbrellas and
visa-versa. I think this was on Fuji 200 film, shot at 1/300, f22.
My kids, our dog our backyardI
was thinking that I'd had the camera for a good while and it was time
to pass it along. I had a roll in the C-4 that I had to finish,
and started shooting whatever was around the house. The kids
(Myles, 8, Heather, 6 and Lindsay, 6) wanted a picture of them with
their new dog, Levi. Here is the result. Kodak Max 400 shot
at 1/200, f2.8, I think. We were under a big maple tree, so I had
to open the aperture - you can see the depth of field that
resulted. My favorite picture this outing!
