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.

Nice stuff. What exposure time did you use for the car lights on the roadway?
Thanks!

Thanks to all for your inspiring comments ! - I had to work today so could not respond earlier
The scanning was done locally professionally on a flat bed @ 1800-2400 PPI. I agree they came out well - especially for the age of the film ! The 4 scans came out to $25.
It is gratifying that Fisheating Creek is being so well received. I recently saw a similar image in one of the photo magazines - as I recall it was B&W - but do not remember who shot it or when or even exactly WHERE I saw it - but was flabbergasted when I saw it - as I knew I had also done it ! - small world ?? - or .....?

Fisheating Creek is AWESOME! (Sorry about shouting but it was a deserved reaction.)

Absolutely stunning photo of the swamp. Great job.
Beautiful pictures. I've just started scanning my own collection, coincidentally. Going to take a while.......
