Along the waterfront, Fernandina Beach.

From a recent outing along the tracks in Fernandina Beach. The trains supply two paper mills along the Amelia River.

The tale of two realities. Amelia Island, with some of the best beaches and natural beauty, shares this.

Happy SUNday! – ‘sight’ seeing

November 9, 2025November 9, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

At sea level, at 6 feet above the surface, you can see an object at about three miles away. With a 600mm lens, details come into focus.

Uncropped image of a sailboat taken with my 600mm lens. With the naked eye, the boat was a white spot on the horizon.

A slight crop of the original image reveals additional details.

At an extreme crop. My Canon EOS R does well with its 30.3 megapixels.

Happy SUNday! – Nikon F

October 12, 2025October 12, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Classic Nikon. This is the last Nikon F in my collection. I enjoy using and collecting the early Nippon Kogaku logo bodies and, of course, a Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f1.4 lens. The camera was built in mid to late 1964. The lens is from 1965. I like it when it all comes together.

It was first released in 1959. This one is from 1964.

The reputation of the Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f1.4 lens is world-renowned.

Happy SUNday! – family pics

My mom, Mary, was photographed by my dad, Paul, while traveling along the PCH in late 1961. Pictured is my Aunt Helen’s Ford Galaxy 500 that she lent us for our trip to San Francisco and Yosemite NP. I believe Helen was living in Thousand Oaks, SoCal, at that time. It was a fantastic trip that I’ll never forget. I was likely climbing some rocks or on the beach when he took the picture.

Some improvements were added to the original.

My dad is holding his Polaroid at the Las Vegas Strip during that same California trip. Photo by me.

sad sunday…

September 14, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

In light of another series of recent shootings in the United States, with one receiving the level of attention that I remember RFK received in 1968, I thought it would be a good time to remember these children, their parents, their families, and their teachers. Sandy Hook in 2012 and Uvalde in 2022…

Just ONE of hundreds killed by hateful people with guns.

I don’t usually post political things, and this isn’t and should never be political. People die in an unregulated society in LOVE with weapons, not humans. Peace, Chris

Happy SUNday! – Back to 1959

September 7, 2025September 12, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Three “new” cameras from 1959.
The Asahi Pentax H2 shown here in its Honeywell Heiland badges, the Canon Canonflex, and the Yashica Pentamatic ’35’. All three made their debuts that year, although the Yashica more formally in March 1960. The Asahi is the 4th pentaprism 35mm SLR after their original in 1957. The Canon and Yashica were their first-ever SLRs. The Asahi Pentax more or less set the standard for what a compact 35mm SLR would look like for the next decade. Not pictured with this trio is the Nikon F, which was also released that year.
