 | My camera of choice for this Holiday Argus shooting was a Model 21 Markfinder, Serial No. 0000044489. Images were captured on a roll of Fujifilm Superia X-TRA asa 400. "Arizona Penguin" was photographed here at home in High Ridge, MO. Lighting was with a single Sun Gun type movie light on a tripod, 3400 Kelvin temperature, and with the help of a blue filter in front of the lens. Painting in background is one of my own. "Letter to Santa" presented itself in a shop window in downtown Kirkwood, MO. Hand held, maybe f:11 @1/200. "Purple Sleds" were on display at another business in downtown Kirkwood near the RR tracks. Hand held, exposure settings unrecorded. All images are ©2013 E.J.Kowalski. After the contest deadline, you can find a gallery of images from the remainder of the film at: www.pbase.com/edkowalski/holiday2013 |

 | Here's
a shot of some of the holiday lights on our front porch and garden,
taken during the night of the recent storm that swept through the
Northeast. I took it through the window - FAR too cold, windy and
snowy to be THAT dedicated to my photography ... ;0.). The extra glass
and slight motion from the wind added natural diffusion and softened
the image a bit, which I like as an overall mood for the picture. Tech details: Shot with my C44 on a tripod using Fuji 200 Superia film, 50 mm lens @f2.8, shutter on B for about 2 seconds. |

Santa on eve of house. Argus C3 # 302615 with an Argus
Sandmar 100mm telephoto lens. 1/100 second, f/8. I was out
getting my grand-daughter to babysit at my house, & saw this.
It begged to be photographed. I didn't want to walk all over the
guys property to get the right view, because here in Arizona, I'd
probably get shot. So, I put the Sandmar Telephoto on, &
stood by my car. 12.20.2013. Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Argus C3 #302615. 10 seconds, f/16. Some years we have a big giant tree. This year, it's a little one. What can I say? At least when the grandchildren tip this one over, it's easy to set upright again. I used a tripod here. Stopped down, the lights have that star effect that I like. | |
