Happy SUNday! – me and my Nicca 3-S

May 22, 2022May 22, 2022Chris and Carol Leave a comment

I recently rediscovered these images that I had taken with my Nicca 3-S 35mm rangefinder camera a few years back. I say rediscovered because I don’t believe I’ve posted all of the pictures before. They were hiding on a DVD in plain sight.

First, the camera and lens.

Nicca 3-S from 1955.

Super sharp Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-HC f2 5cm lens.

The images are unretouched, just as they were scanned by the photo lab.

Historic District, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida.

I’m quite pleased with the results. All images were taken on Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 800.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day! – Chris

They’re white, that’s all I know – but they sure are pretty.

“Wild” white flowers. Oleander. Thanks, Bambi!

Magnificent oak

This tree is one of about thirty trees that may be cut down when this lot is developed shortly. The vinyl tape around the trunks is supposed to spare the trees from destruction but I’ve seen developers still cut them down and then just pay the fine levied by the county. Here’s hoping that won’t be the case here. Amelia Island, Florida.

Moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean

March 19, 2022March 19, 2022Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Moonrise on St. Patrick’s Day along the coast on Amelia Island, Florida.

I’ve been super pleased with my new Canon EOS R mirrorless camera and as I’ve become more familiar with it I’ve ventured out and about more. I can’t say that I was ever a big moon or sunrise photographer before so I don’t think my new camera will change that but the few times I do point my camera at the moon or sun will be a more pleasurable experience. There’s really no post-production in this image except for a bit of a crop. The colors are as captured about 15 minutes after sunset. Tech notes – f11, 1/20, ISO 100 at 108mm.
