Old school

I picked up a 'new' camera this summer. It is a 1950 Czechoslovakian Flexoret. It is a TLR that shoots medium format film. Up until this point my only foray into the world of medium format was with a holga. They can be fun but there is just too much guessing for my tastes. The flexoret gives full manual control but has no light meter so you need one with you. Anyway I put two rolls through it and $60 dollars later (processing - eesh) I have my results. Here are a few that I liked.

Real Rhode Island clam bake.

The clam bake master.

I have exactly 5 minutes to kill. So I am putting up a few shots from here and there. First one is from a trip to Vinalhaven Maine that Christine and I took. It is a photo of the harbor taken from the ferry over there.




The next group of photos are all from a little league game I covered a week or two ago. I have kind of hit my limit with little league games so I get bored quickly. This one was wrapping up right around sunset. Just a few patches of golden hour light were hitting the field here and there. So I used it in a few photos.
