 | Camera: Argus C Lens: kit lens (3.5/50, before the Cintar branding) Film: Lomography Earl Gray I originally brought this Argus along as a glorified rangefinder for the Voightlander Brillant that I was testing, but as long as I had to carry it anyway I decided to load it and give this lens another go. The skeleton was taken at f/3.5 and 1/30 since it was in a dark storefront. The other photos were taken at f/11 and 1/300 shutter speed since I wanted to see how sharp the lens is edge to edge when stopped down. |

 All 3 photos are pretty much the same. (12.24.2024. 4 sec, f/4, Luminaria on curb.) | Someone
came around & left the raw materials for a Christmas Eve Luminaria
Extravaganza for our street. I thought that would be nice, &
put my dozen or so white paper bags out. Only the neighbor &
I participated. Just imagine the whole street lined with these
things. Looks pretty good, doesn't it? I mean in your minds
eye. Looks pretty good. I took mine in around 9pm. I
think the neighbor left his out for a day or two. Thanks for 'hosting' the Holiday Photo Contest again. I miss Ed Kowalski's notes & emails about the event coming up. I snapped these & submitted them in remembrance of him. |

 Taken in JFK International Airport, while on my way to join my wife in England as part of an international move. I was departing at 11 at night, so the airport was nearly deserted and most of the shops had already closed up. |  This festive door was located in Clapham. Second Place |
 Taken at the Victoria train station in London, the day after I arrived in the country. I snapped this quickly as a child was leaving his lap and before another jumped in. | All
taken on an Argus C3 with a Soligor 35mm f/3.5 wide-angle lens. The
film used was Portra 800. All photos were processed and scanned by a
local lab in Chiswick, London. |

| My
Argus CR-1 shutter jammed open on about every other shot and seemed
erratic on the others. I used my Argus SLR (original) for the rest of
the shots. The Christmas tree decoration was with the Argus SLR.
Available light + a flashlight. Setting about 1/15th sec. and F 5.6.
Normal lens. Edu 100 film, 20 + years outdated. Rated at ISO 25 to
compensate for the age. The tree branch was shot on the Argus CR-1. Outdoor light on a dull day. Setting about the same as the indoor shot. Same film. Greatly cropped. Both were developed in Acufine. I shot several pictures and wanted to send 3 but these were the only 2 that looked even half way presentable to my eyes. Thanks for looking. | |

 | All photos were shot with an Argus C44R with Kodak Image Pro 100. The photos were show using an original working Argus attached light meter. The indoor photo was taken using the C44 flash attachment with a M5 bulb. The people in the photo were members of the Lake Cherokee Photo Club. Most had never seen a working flash bulb camera. The lenses used was a 35mm for the outdoors and a 50mm for the indoor photos. |
