A couple new ones

Nothing too in depth really. The three black and whites are test shots from my new camera and lens. I'm pretty impressed with the results. The camera itself (a Voigtlander Bessa R) is brand new, however, the lens (a 50mm Leitz Summarit f/1.5) is almost 60 years old... I guess it just goes to show, old Leitz optics can compete!

Now it's time to go take some more shots with it, but I can't seem to get into people photography, which is something rangefinder cameras excel at. I'll just have to keep shooting the way I normally do, and see how the results differ between it and my SLR cameras. Just going to try and keep myself busy, and by that I mean shooting more. ;)

Glad to hear it, and glad to see you two have been keeping busy with stuff. I've been slacking lately, though I do have some "new" stuff to put up, it's a matter of finding time to scan it in. :lol:

That's pretty sweet. I've been staying with someone in the apartment that is pretty much in the DQ parking lot. I think I'll be back there between Nov. 27th-Dec. 2 and the people I live with are into exploring too. =)

Oh, and I was meaning to ask if you had ever been out to Pekes and seen Battery Steel?

Hey, haven't heard from ya' in awhile. I was thinking we should do some exploring before the snow flies. I found a few places kind-of worth checking out in Cornish.

That would involve finding or taking a picture of myself that I don't hate... which consequently, hasn't happened yet! :lol:

Never fear, I'm working on it. ;)
