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.

Not that Bailey House, this one sits at the corner of Ash and 7th Streets in the Fernandina Beach Historic District on beautiful Amelia Island.

Queen Anne style Victorian era home. A perfect early autumn day.

Pirate Pete and friends, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida.
The look of film, actual film. Fujifilm 200.
These images are from a recent photo walk around the island with my 1983 Nikon L35AF 35mm film camera.
Autofocus and auto exposure were spot on. These scans are from The Darkroom lab in San Clemente, California. No post-processing by me or them.

Pirate Pete at the Palace Saloon.
Pirates everywhere!
Amelia’s Mermaids.

Elsewhere in the historic district.

St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, c1893.
Small town shopping.
Centre Street gem.

Out and about with my Canon New F-1 and Canon NFD 24 f/2.8 lens.

Wadsworth’s on Centre Street, downtown Fernandina Beach Historic District.

Unfinished renovation of the former Marina restaurant at the west end of Centre Street.

Fujifilm 200 color negative film. Processed and scanned by The Darkroom in San Clemente, California. I enjoy using my classic Canon FD lenses. The contrast and clarity always leave me satisfied with the results.
