The same location of a
young man mooning me

a favorite summer pastime
( jumping in the swimming
hole ). Argus C3 early
1950's vintage. Film was
Kodak Print Film IS0 200,
f11 at 300 sec. for both

Epson 2400 and altered
slightly in Photoshop.

Shot on Argust 4th, 2004. Argus STL-1000
SLR with GAF Auto f:1.9 / 50mm lens, on
Solaris 200 print film, about f:8 @1/250
second. I was photographing on Big River
in Cedar Hill, Missouri, and two of the
"locals" came from around the bend to
see what I was up to. We had friendly
greetings, some conversation, and then
clowned around a little together. They
enjoyed the attention and the ensuing
portrait session.

Attached are my two submissions for
Argust 4th (taken on that day,
Wednesday) with my "new" Argus AF
bakelite camera. Union United Methodist
Church, Wilkesboro, NC was taken using
the Argus AF mounted on a Yashica ST-7
grip/tripod, sitting on the hood of my car
(engine off!) using Kodak 100 film.
Exposure about 20 seconds at f/4.5.

Flower photo was taken literally on my back
porch, in Moravian Falls, NC. I measured the
distance from camera back (film plane) to
flowers at 16" and set the AF to the 1 1/4'
marking (closest focus), handheld.
Exposure 1/50 sec. f/8 on Fuji Superia 100.

"Red Mullet" - Night shot of the Red Mullet
American Eatery. The "Red Mullet" sign is
in front of stainless steel, so the red lights
look a little blurred. All of my night photos
came out grainy and under exposed. Oh
well...I'll try again using a few other
methods. Taken on Kodak Gold 100 ASA.

Here are two of the best pictures I got from an Argus C-3 on august 4th. I think I shot the
driving picture at 1/100 f5.6 and the inside wall picture at 1/30 F-3.5 as best as I can
recall. It was not a pretty day. :(
