My beloved – Carol
The spot (almost the exact spot) where Carol and I fell in love on a beautiful summer afternoon in 1973. Walt Disney World has always been a magical place for us and yes, we LOVE “It’s a Small World”! We honeymooned at WDW, we brought our kids every chance we could, and we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Magic Kingdom.
Thanks for stopping by!

Female sago palm photographed in mid-summer before the seeds are exposed.
About 4 years ago, our cat Pirate had a run in with this plant which is on the property line with our neighbor. He showed signs of having been poisoned and our guess was he possibly chewed on a leaf or seed pod. Fortunately, he’s a strong little Tom and after some intense nursing by us, he pulled through. He’s a wiser old cat now, 15 years old and enjoying life.
If you have these plants in your landscaping and you have small children or pets please be aware of the danger. For more info, you can check out this site.
Thanks for your visit!

The last few days of January and the river maples are showing their new blossoms and buds.

A beautiful day in the garden as our North Florida sunlight warms with its late winter rays. Hopefully, we’re past our hard freezes and we’ll be frost free the rest of the winter.

We can’t get enough of this “other-worldly look” – the neon blue (as our friend Pam pointed out) is awesome!
Actually no post-production work here except to add the logos.

Gorgeous surfaces – well finished and appointed.
These “Modern Classics” deserve another look in this digital age. They’re the perfect way to get into film photography without busting the bank!
The sales brochure was shot in and around Miami’s South Beach – some pretty awesome images inside from the post “Miami Vice” era!
The Autoboy has some heft to it (375g) – yes there’s plastic but of a much higher quality. The switches, levers, and whatnots are solid and the motor drive for the film transport and power zoom are quick and reasonably quiet.
It features a super bright viewfinder and clear zoom indicator reference lines, 7 shooting modes and can imprint date/time and up to 7 captions in multiple languages! It’s easy to use and has a quick, accurate autofocus.
We think this Canon gives the much-touted Yashica-Kyocera T* cameras a good run for the money (I think it outperforms them albeit with a bit slower lens but with a crazy wide focal range!
Of course, we’ve added this beauty to our online camera store at https://www.ccstudio2380.com

Fun at the movie theater. After watching The Last Jedi tonight, I took a quick peek in the control room and my camera happened to go off!
Have a Happy Weekend!

Time for a Reblog – We have some new Instax Wide Monochrome film coming from B&H – We’ll review it as soon as we can!
I wish Yashica was still around… the ‘real’ Yashica from Japan not H.K.
But they’re not so what’s a Yashica freak to do if you want to review new gear and new film formats? Well you turn to my go to camera makers (for the record; Yashica, Canon, Fujifilm)… Fuji Photo Company as they used to be known. Now just Fujifilm. I do appreciate the Fujica line of cameras and would love to own a Fujicaflex and a Fujicarex! But I wander as I often do.
I’ve had my eye on the line of Instax film cameras from Fujifilm ever since they introduced the Instax film (I might have been a little behind the times here). Anyway, since I’ve almost always have had an instant film camera… Polaroids and the Kodak EK4, I decided to splurge and get the Fujifilm Instax Wide 300. Why? The format. I like wide shots…
View original post 494 more words
The camera features a quality Fujinon 95mm lens (2 elements 2 groups) set at f14 and designed to use Instax film rated at ISO800. The shutter fires at 1/64-1/200th of a second. There’s a control to lighten or darken the exposure and an LCD that clearly shows your picture count. The lens focuses from 0.9m to 3m and from 3m to infinity with the push of a button.
This set comes in its original box, has an unopened pack of Fujifilm (dated 2001), the original strap, and the instructions. Oh, and four new Fujifilm (AA) batteries!
If you’re interested in purchasing this unique (and a rather rare set) it’s available in our online shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com
We can be contacted via secure email at chriscarol@ccstudio2380.com
Stop by and check out our other unique and hard to find cameras – a great way to get into film photography and show off your “Modern Classic”!
