Fernandina’s Fantastic Fudge is located in the Historic District. A sweet spot to be.

The establishing shot… 16mm, f/4, 1/80, ISO125.

I enjoy using my older Canon EF lenses on my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. Many EF lenses are an excellent value compared to their newer RF counterparts. Canon makes a simple adapter that adapts the EF lens to the RF mount.

Of the many things I love about the historic district here in Fernandina Beach, I enjoy photographing the little (and sometimes big) details that make our city so enjoyable to stroll through. Here is a mixture of recent images I took with my Fujifilm X-T2 and two classic Nikon Nikkor film camera lenses.

The smallest details of the streetlights add a bit of charm and a feeling of nostalgia.

A beautiful chandelier in one of the shops.

New old knobs on a recently renovated door.

The cast-iron entryway to a popular fudge and ice cream shop.

Pirate Pete stands guard at Florida’s oldest saloon, the Palace.

The Palace Saloon. The building is c1878 and the saloon opened in 1903.
