Limited Edition Nikon F2A Anniversary Model

Chris and Carol Leave a comment
It looks like it did when it left Nikon USA back in 1978.
The 25th Anniversary badge has never been attached. This is how I received it from Nikon USA.
Numbered baseplate 25-0749.
It has gorgeous chrome surfaces with no marks anywhere.
Matching serial numbers.
Matching serial number on the DP-11 finder.
Perfect. Never had even one roll of film installed.

‘Ghost’ Signs

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

I enjoy photographing ghost signs, and my adopted hometown has plenty to see. Here are a couple of images taken about thirteen years apart. It appears to be fading faster now in the intense Florida sunlight.

A few images from a recent photo walk in the downtown historic district. Canon EOS R and Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens.

Lots of small shops along Centre Street.
A local artist from the high school added some artistry to the downtown.
Big bad Chevy!
Fantastic Fudge’s entry with its cast-iron facade.

The unbearable heat of summer has passed, so it’s a great time to visit Fernandina Beach on beautiful Amelia Island.

Now in color!

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A friend on Threads colorized my original black-and-white photo from December 1960. I’m pictured at Lake Mead, Nevada. My dad, Paul, took the image with his 1953 Polaroid Pathfinder 110 medium format camera.

Pictured with my first camera, a Kodak Flashmite 20.
It’s not a bad colorization. I’m pretty sure my pants were blue dungarees, though.

I’ll have to find out which app he used and give it a go. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Colorful photo walk in the historic district.

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

After the prolonged heat and humidity of our Florida summer, a break in the weather sent me on a photo walk in the downtown historic district of Fernandina Beach, Florida (Amelia Island). I chose my Canon EOS R with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, and the Canon EF-RF adapter. I don’t use post-processing except for an occasional crop, as I like to see my digital images as they would have been if I had been shooting with film.

Happy to see me or just hungry?
At 16mm.
At 35mm. The 1876 Building along historic Centre Street.
Flying Fish.
We’re not known for having a large bear population, but you use what you have if you’re a shop owner. I like the yellow bug in the background.
Always ready to plunder a buck or two.
Happy trolley driver.
Iconic Centre Street view.
Local student artists were out and about painting shop windows. Coffee is an essential painting tool.
Blue metal butterflies. Neat idea.
Pirate Pete checking I.D.s at the Palace Saloon.

Homemade Banana Bread

Carol made this yesterday. It WAS delicious! We love it sliced extra thick and then toasted. It’s one of our favorite breads whenever we have “older” bananas available.

Limited Edition Canon OD F-1 from early 1978. Out of the blue (in this case, green), Canon in Japan released about 2,000 of these factory-painted olive-drab F-1s, reportedly only for the home market. They came with a special box, unique strap, custom case, and no lens. My OD F-1 has seen some action as it has just a touch of brassing in its key wear points, which I have no problem with. I’ve added a Canon Power Winder F and my trusty Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C. lens. Canon only made the body green, so no green accessories or lenses exist. I have this set loaded with film and will take it out and about soon. Stay connected for more about this special camera and my images.
