Canon FD Photo of the Month: March 2015

<p>Hello everyone! It is March or nearly March depending upon where you are. I am starting about an hour before midnight EST because I am rather hurried, though it is Sunday. Please post your FD related shots! </p>

<p>My contributions are a few leftover Akashi Castle cat shots. February was hectic and I could not even finish the first roll in my new black FTb. Well it is the first of March in Japan and the first plum blossoms are out. Meanwhile, cat photos.</p><div></div>

<p>Another cat shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Having bought the FD 20mm over ten years ago, I hardy ever use my cheap FD 28mm any more, so thought I'd take it out to Tokyo Tower recently:</p><div></div>

<p>Another:</p><div></div>

<p>Souvenir food bags on Mt. Takao:</p><div></div>

<p>February 14th in Belgium, spring in the middle of winter.</p><div></div>

Fabulous, just fabulous!

<p>AB, those Tokyo Tower shots are unique / good colors...never heard of it before / Googled it</p>

<p><strong>Last night was the first clear sharp night sky here during the past several days of cold, snow & ice storms.<br />And the next few days forecast are more gloom & doom so I figured I better not look a gift horse in the mouth and shot last night's 78% Waxing Moon as it trends towards Full. Canon FDn 400/4.5</strong></p>

<p>More snow! It seems never-ending. My Australian Shepherd is even getting tired of it. Where are those sheep?</p><div></div>

The expression says it all...nice capture, Robert!

Capolavoro!

<p><strong>Driving home after dark from shooting yesterday's sunset at a lake, this was up in the sky behind a thin layer of clouds.<br />Shot it looking East as it was still rising, almost at it's apex...92% illumination, Waxing Moon.</strong><br /><strong>Canon FDn 400/4.5</strong></p>

<p>Great shots everyone! Keep them coming.</p>

<p>Here are two more shots from around Akashi Castle. I used a very beat up Canon F-1, an old two-touch FD 80-200/4 I found in "junk" at Naniwa Camera, Kobe and Fuji Neopan 1600, which has been discontinued. <br>

First, a cat posing for me. </p>

<p>From my first FTb roll! Akashi Castle cats again!</p><div></div>

<p>Forgot. FTb shot with FDn 70-150/4.5. Super lens.</p>

<p><em><strong>".....shot with FDn 70-150/4.5. Super lens....."</strong></em><br>

<br /> Couldn't agree more...as far as I'm concerned they seem to have "L" like IQ</p>

<p>Well, here are two more shots with the Canon FTb. Akashi Castle cat again! Meow!</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>And just one more. </p>

<p>I followed this cat into the bushes. I wanted it to look at me but the creature did not turn around. So I thought this angle might be interesting too.</p><div></div>

<p>Like that last cat photo...whiskers standing out, showing some colors / patterns in its coat, looks good and healthy</p>
