<p>July already? Come on FD shooters, post your stuff! June was fantastic. Let's make July fantastic too!</p>

<p>Decided to celebrate the FD 55/1.2 non-aspherical lens on my Leica M 240. A fast job tonight in Kobe, Japan. This is the best of the lot.</p>

<p>A nice variety from all so far!<br>

This is an interesting building, a photographer's studio from Niigate (now relocated to Aichi) , built about 130 years ago when Western design was mixing with Japanese:</p>

<p>A couple from my T-90 shot back in the mid 80's.</p>

<p>But first, the story.</p>

<p>I had this friend, who's girlfriend fancied herself a writer. She knew someone who put her in touch with someone, who told her she could write an article for a Hobie Cat sailing magazine. She asked me to take the pictures...</p>

<p>We lived in the Los Angeles area, and the regatta she was going to write about was up at Lake Quinault, in Washington State. Bit of a drive. We left L.A. and drove straight through to Hood River Oregon where she wanted to interview some board sailors for another article she wanted to write. I shot pictures for that too. From Hood River we went on up to Lake Quinault and spent a few days "working". All this was on our dime. Gas, food, lodging, all of it.<br>

Upon getting back home she never wrote anything, but the Hobie magazine took my pictures, and found one of the sailors who had sailed at the regatta to write something up. My shots were used on the contents page and a 2 page color spread with the article.<br>

<br />Total pay, $64.00. I decided freelance magazine work wasn't going to make me rich.</p>

<p>So anyhow, these are a couple of the shots I took in Hood River, OR. Wind surfers on the Columbia River. Somewhere around here I have some sailing pictures too, If I can find them I'll post some up.</p>

<p>Both these were with my T-90 shooting Fuji transparency film. Both I think with my 400mm f4.5 S.S.C., although looking at the first one it could have been the Tamron 80-200mm f2.8 SP.</p>

<p><strong>Canon FDn 300/4.0-L<br /></strong><br>

<strong>Setting sun filtering through trees on this Whitetail Doe seemed like tailor made conditions for a B&W shot.<br />( Her throat looks like it has a larger than normal white throat patch, but it’s just intense sunlight hitting it ).<br /><br /></strong></p>
