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.

Canon FD 400mm Lens, a mid-eighties gem.

My lens is from November 1985 (Z1100) and has ‘U.S. Navy’ markings. It’s the newer ‘New FD’ lens with the improved bayonet mount.

Shown here mounted on my Fujifilm X-T2 digital mirrorless camera via a simple FD-FX adapter.
The Fuji makes an excellent platform for using my classic film camera lenses.

Float my boat. Fernandina Beach Marina.

Big boat, ‘little’ boat.
Built for stability, comfort, and room.
Yachts and a paper mill.

Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera and a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM zoom lens.

A wonderful combination.

Unexpected ‘find’

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5

Spotted in the Fernandina Beach Historic District.

Lovely classic Benz with the 4.5-litre V8.

Very nice ‘smile’.

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

The establishing shot… 16mm, f/4, 1/80, ISO125.
With a square crop.
Action shot.

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.

The details count.

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

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.
Nikon Nikkor-H Auto f/3.5 28mm lens from 1972.
Nikon Nikkor-S Auto f/1.4 50mm lens from 1965.
