A Year in Photos: Nikkor 50mm

A Year in Photos

Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.

This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.

First Outing with the Nikon F

Last month I finally got to try out my Nikon F. It needed a good CLA before it would work properly -- the downside of buying a $30 Nikon F. Here are some shots from the first day. I tested it out on Kodak 5222 Double-X. The results were very grainy.

FTN... and Then?

The Nikkormat FTN is a great camera. I'm lucky enough to have two, I may have mentioned before. Both need a bit of work, but this one has good light seals. And the 50mm 1:2 Nikkor lens is a very sharp lens that I don't use often enough. So here are some photos taken with the Nikkor lens and the FTN.

Boo.

Ron Paul is still hanging on, or at least his sticker is.

Hopefully it isn't supposed to have a cap.
