New Images From This Summer new
      #2641435 - 09/14/08 08:19 AM

Hello all,

I have a collection of over 14 images taken from July to September. I have posted them on my website and you can access them here:

http://www.nightfly.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/Pentax%2067%20Gallery

These are the results of two rolls of E200 processed last week and scanned over the last few night. The weather here in Maine was terrible over the summer and I took advantage of every clear night, there were not many.

All the images were taken with medium format gear that is now cheap on eBay. The 300mm f/4 is my most recent lens and cost under $275.00 ! It seems to perform quite well. Why not take a peek and see.

Enjoy.

Jim

Very nice Jim! For bad weather and only two rolls of film, you have a lot to show! Gary

Great comments guy's, thanks! It was allot of work, staying up late past summer twilight, usually on a work night. Lots of coffee the next morning and bad days at work, yikes! So when I got my rolls back I was happy to see the results. Now fall. Early darkness, cool crisp nights, not so busy at work the next day. More to come!

A great collection of images. Despite the bad weather, you were a lot more productive than I was (I only shot on weekends.)
