Happy SUNday! – Minolta Madness

December 17, 2023December 17, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A couple of Minolta 35mm film cameras for your Sunday morning viewing pleasure.

Purchased in the summer of 1975 and still going strong.

Purchased in the autumn of 2000. It’s hard to believe it’s been 23 years!

Do you have an all-time favorite Minolta camera? Do you still have it? By the way, I’ve put both of these classics in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

My fun to use Kodak EasyShare M893 IS 8.1MP digicam.

Altocumulus is in bands across the Northeast Florida sky.

Nice color, sharpness, and exposure. CCD sensor captures film-like images.

The Daikin is quiet and efficient. New as of September 2022.

My neighbor’s ground-level satellite dish.

White-tailed deer (young buck) visiting my backyard NWF wildlife habitat.

I hadn’t seen a deer in my yard in the thirty-plus years that I’ve lived here. Part of my yard is wetlands with a small creeklet running through it and at times some small ponds form after heavy summer thunderstorms. This deer has been spotted around the neighborhood over the past two months – he has a severe injury to his right rear leg and for the most part, he can’t use it. Having said that, he looked healthy and responded to my presence. He doesn’t appear to be sick. There are coyotes in the area so I’m hoping he can stay ahead of the various predators and rut as this is the time of year for that in my part of Florida.

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

Happy SUNday! – Holiday Weekend

July 2, 2023July 2, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

The 4th of July weekend is well underway here on Amelia Island. The beaches are quite busy and as always, the City of Fernandina Beach is out in full force protecting our locals and tourists alike.

Image captured with my Kodak EasyShare CCD digicam.

The Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS is a wonderful “mini-bridge” 10.1 MP digital camera that produces film-like images. It’s amazing just how nice these cameras are with CCD sensors. It’s available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

What makes this camera a standout is the super sharp Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 28mm to 420mm 15x optical zoom lens. The camera stands head and shoulders above other CCD sensor cameras from that period. Shooting with a “vintage” digicam is a rewarding experience.

A 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor and HD video. It consistently captures the most life-like images.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the other cameras and photo gear in my shop at CC Design Studios at http://www.ccstudio2380.com – Chris
