imagemeister Loc: mid east Florida

It has been a MOMENTUS day for me. Last week I started digging personal stored film images out of my garage to have scanned - the first time I have done this ! - EVER

Today I picked up the first 4 scanned images - and I hope not to bore you - but I will post a couple here now and maybe from time to time a few more that I think worthy.

I post processed these in Elements 9 from Fujichromes. The scanned files are 60MB + or -. and reduced here for viewing. They are both full frame/no cropping - SOP for the film era !

"Confusion Corner circa 1978" is a local landmark at the confluence of 6 streets and railroad crossing in Stuart Florida ! It is a multiple time exposure. I used a Horseman 985 6X9 technical camera with 80mm Noritar lens and 100 speed Fujichrome at f8 for all exposures. The first exposure was at twilight before the sun went down and no cars in the intersection. After complete darkness, I made 7 or 8 / 5-10 second exposures with cars traveling through the intersection. I never thought I would get exposures "right" the first time out - but it seems I did !

"Fisheating Creek flooded" was shot around 1990 here in Florida. It is a favorite place of Clyde Butcher. It is one of the most primal/pristine natural places in Florida. My father I and started camping/fishing there in 1962 ! I used a Fuji 645W camera (45mm lens) with 100 speed Fujichrome. I will probably convert this to a B&W as a final product.

Thanks for stopping by to view and comments are welcome.

I think BOTH are just wonderful just as they are. VERY nice work! Well worth the cost of the scan.

Thank you so much Paul ! It has really been fun to digitally tweak these images. Most of my early scans will be larger format - as I do have 4X5 and some 8X10 also......

Very enjoyable as usual!

BTW, I escaped early this morning and arrived at Black Point before 7AM, only to find it closed due to the heavy rains. Maybe next time.

These are great, Larry. I recently scanned a heap of old Ekta-chrome slides from the sixties, but unfortunately most of them had acquired a very noticeable magenta hue over the years. Lotsa fun though.
