Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / December 2006First Scans With Nikon V ED
Greetings All... I've posted a little five frame gallery on PBase of some Grand Canyon shots from 2002. Considering these are my first attempts, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Critiques Welcome: http://www.pbase.com/flyingphotog/grand_canyon Jay Beckman Chandler, AZ www.pbase.com/flyingphotog > Greetings All... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Chandler, AZ > www.pbase.com/flyingphotog Congratulations Jay....your pics are absolutely stunning! I've never been to Arizona but your pics are so enthralling, I feel I've been there already! Excellent! Helen >> Greetings All... >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > there already! Excellent! > Helen Thank you very much. Jay >> Greetings All... >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > there already! Excellent! > Helen The Grand Canyon is worth the trip. And there's so much other scenic beauty nearby. I had a month out there in 2005 and it wasn't half long enough. > Critiques Welcome: > > http://www.pbase.com/flyingphotog/grand_canyon Wow! That Canon T90 is amazing! >> Critiques Welcome: >> >> http://www.pbase.com/flyingphotog/grand_canyon > > Wow! That Canon T90 is amazing! All through the days of rangefinders and leaf shutters, it was the one camera I always wanted and now in the digital era, it's the one camera I'll (probably) always keep. At least until film completely dies or they do away with AA batteries. Jay >>Critiques Welcome: >> >>http://www.pbase.com/flyingphotog/grand_canyon > > Wow! That Canon T90 is amazing! Uh-oh! Brette's hardware fetish has attached itself to a 20 year old TOTALLY-NON-DIGITAL! camera. "Trouble Brewing!" (Have you ever shot a T90?) Nice pics, Jay! Excellent! The T-90 'Tank' crushes puny digicams like roaches underfoot! ;) -Greg (Another 'hybrid' C-FD shooter from Az.) >>>Critiques Welcome: >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > -Greg (Another 'hybrid' C-FD shooter from Az.) Hi Greg... Somewhere in my dusty stash, I have an original marketing brochure for the T90. Most of the photos of the camera are simply silouettes of the body. It's an EOS. It was/is an EOS long before there were any EOSes. The multi-point meter is simply a manual version of matrix metering (you can average nine different exposure zones in one scene.) It has exposure comp. It can rip off 4.5fps continuous (with no buffer to worry about...Ok so it's limited to a max of 36 frames.) It has a marvelous spot meter (a tight tastey 3% of the frame.) It has the same "safety shift" function. All of this on four little AA batteries available world-wide. The only kick in the head is the FD/EF thing. If only I could use EF lenses...(*sigh*) I don't even care about auto focus...

It took a while to accept the 'modern,' 'plastic' look of the thing. Then I was able to use one for a day and all doubt was gone. Bought one as soon as I could scrape together the $ for a slightly used model. > The multi-point meter is simply a manual version of matrix metering (you can > average nine different exposure zones in one scene.)

Yea, the EF/FD 'thing' is a bit of a pisser. I've been hoping that one of these vaporware companies will follow through and actually sell a 'digital film' insert. Alternately, Canon or someone else (lawyers permitting) could make a DSLR that works with FD glass. Good luck on either happening.... Well, film still works, very well, and I'm content for the time being shooting and scanning. One or two rolls a month is neither terribly expensive, nor a huge time sink. Saw your very nice PB photos of Montezuma's Well. I've been up to the 'castle' a few times, but somehow never heard of the 'well.' If we get some snow this weekend, a road trip may be in order. -Greg > Yea, the EF/FD 'thing' is a bit of a pisser.

One or two > rolls a month is neither terribly expensive, nor a huge time sink. Why even piss around with FD lenses at this point in history? This is all ancient history and I already shed enough tears over it and it is now buried in the past since I sold all my FD lenses. If you really want a superior setup just get yourself the totally awesome 5D and buy a $15 dollar Nikkor to Canon adapter off of eBay and start using all your favorite old Nikkors. Rita > Greetings All... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Chandler, AZ > www.pbase.com/flyingphotog It has been over thirty years since I stood at the canyons edge and stared into the great abiss of the Grand Canyon. Your images have brought back that feeling of, WOW. What film did you use to capture such detail and do you remember which lens? Great images. More. We want more. Happy Holidays to you and tours.

IIRC the film was Fuji Velvia and the lens was (I think) probably a Canon FD 24mm f/2.8. > Great images. More. We want more. I have a few more, I'll work on it. > Happy Holidays to you and yours. (<-- Fixed it for ya...) Thanks Draco... All the best to you too. Jay |
