 Christmas 2008 #1 Second Place |
 Christmas 2008 #2 |
| These
photos were taken with an Argus c-3 just before Christmas in downtown
Detroit. I stopped my car in the middle of the intersection near Campus
Martius to get the shots, and as I set up the tripod in the street I
noticed a policeman watching. After I took a few pictures, he just
moved on. I suppose I seemed harmless enough. They were both taken with Ektar 100 film, about 3 seconds exposure, and scanned with a CanoScan 8800f scanner. The colors really were this bright! |

 Train Show |
1) "Gingerbread
Village" The villagers all seemed happy to see visitors on the day after Christmas, 2008, at the Saint Louis Zoo! Argus A2B, postwar coated lens, Kodak Gold 200 film. Probably about f/11 @1/150. 2) "Santa Train" Look who is driving the train today at the Saint Louis Zoo, December 26, 2008! Argus A2B, postwar coated lens, Kodak Gold 200 film. Probably about f/8 @1/150. 3) "Train Show Large well-constructed train layouts are always a bit hit for folks of all ages during the Holiday times. This was at the annual special exhibit, Missouri Botanical Gardens, Saint Louis, Missouri, the week before Christmas, 2008. Camera was an Argus C 33, with f/2.8 50mm Cintar, loaded with Kodak Gold 200 film. Exposure was hand held, I did not record settings, but they seemed appropriate for the shot, using available room lighting. |

This photo was taken with the C-3 that my friend Dawn gave me for Yule this year. This picture was my first attempt using a camera without a built-in meter. Whatever others my decide, I am pleased with the result. It reminds me of childhood Christmases. |
