Canon FD Photo of the Month: February 2017

<p>Welcome again to the Canon FD forum! Last month was really good. So seasoned and new FD shooters please post your stuff. Note: we also accept FL and other pre-EOS Canon SLR cameras and lenses.<br>

I resolved to use Canon film cameras, not just FD lenses. Did it! I have a shot from Kobe's Chinatown and a picture of the Canon FTb + FD 50/3.5 Macro that I used.<br>

First Kobe Chinatown.</p>

<p>Good Alex.....makes me wish I'd kept one of my pristine A1's</p>

<p>Meanwhile, I've had the Canon FDn 17mm/4.0 out for a few sunsets...in this one the lake water was so calm it gave me a mirror image of everything.</p>

<p>Hopefully not to racy for this site. </p>

<p>Canon F-1 (original) with FD 35/2.0 lens, probably at f5.6. Eastman 5222-XX film, in Xtol.</p>

<p><em><strong>Nice shot Bill.<br /><br /><em><strong>-------------</strong></em></strong></em></p>

<p>Really starting to wring out this FDn 17/4.0...seems pretty good...wish I'd picked it up a long time ago</p>

<p>Great shots so far, everyone!<br>

I didn't finished a film last month, so have dug up a couple of shots from 11 years ago in Sydney:</p>

<p>Good shots.....<br>

And if you don't mind me asking...the horizon in the lighthouse photo looks pretty close to level, yet the lighthouse itself has an obvious tilt to it...curious if you recall the reason for it.</p>

<p>Okay, here's a shot I took with my Canon F-1N, 50mm Macro lens and an Ikelite strobe in an Ikelite housing. The shot was taken while scuba diving in the Clackamas River at High Rocks, near Gladstone, Oregon. I then scanned the photo and have used it several times. This is a Northern Pike Minnow, <em>Ptychocheilus oregonensis, </em>which had been hooked by a fisherman, but which had tangled the line in a rock on the bottom. The fisherman had broken the line, but the fish was still hooked. So I took its photo, then used my dive knife to release the fish. <br>

<p><em><strong>"...just exaggerated vertical perspective from the FD20mm...<br />____________<br /></strong></em><br>

<em><strong>Thanks...wondered about that myself but not knowing the distance / angle, wasn't sure<br /></strong></em></p>

<p>I forgot to say that for my photo of the Northern Pike Minnow, the film was Ectachrome 100, and the lens setting on the 50mm Macro Lens was probably F-8 or F-5.6. The shutter speed was 1/60 second too. </p>

I totally hate this new form.

Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. Canon FD 200mm/2.8 SSC at f:3.5 and 1/160 at ISO 4000 on Sony A7 from my window.

Canon F1(n) - FD 28 f2 - B+W Deep Red filter - Kodak T Max 100

Canon FDn 17mm/4.0 is growing on me.

Clear bright calm day, knew the lake water would be like a mirror with good reflections.

Wasn't disappointed...shot Infrared.

Canon FDn 24-35/3.5-L...a favorite lens for sure...pretty spring day here yesterday

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Really and truly excellent shots this month. The end of the month will come quickly. Get ready!

P.S. I finally got a Canon FL 58/1.2 !
