Recent or favorite FD shots...If you've got one, post it!

<p>Hot on the heels of the earlier discussion regarding the absence (relative to other forums) of posted shots, I thought I'd kick off a thread to allow us to show off any of our FD work. Usually I'd post these in the Classic Manual Camera forum (a couple will still make it to that forum as well), but I thought I'd start in the FD forum since I used my trusty F-1 and a newly acquired 35-105 FDn lens. These were a few shots taken in Chicago last weekend using the aforementioned set-up, and I have to say that I really like this lens. Typically I use primes with the F-1 but this zoom will probably get a lot of playing time. I'm also always impressed by the F-1 itself; it would be difficult to distinguish a lot of the shots I took with it from those taken by my 1v. These shots were taken in Millenium Park in downtown Chicago and along Michigan Avenue.</p><div></div>

<p>If you've got some shots, share them! I'm looking forward to seeing what others have done with their FD gear.</p>

<p>I suppose I'll post a couple from my beloved A-1. JR</p><div></div>

<p>Color me there! Thanks for starting this thread, Andy. These are from Sunday's nature walk with my nFD 80-200mm f/4 L zoom.</p><div></div>

Canon A1 + FD 80-200L</p>

<p>Although I posted some URLs to some recent shots in my response to the "Earliest Canon Shots" here's a couple of favorites that are recent and local to my new home in Hampton Roads, VA. Equipment is listed. Film is Velvia 100 processed at The Slide Printer.<img src=" alt="" /><img src=" alt="" /><img src=" alt="" /></p>

<p>I'm sorry I can never get images to post here. I'm a computer maladroit I think! Heres two urls.</p>

<p>All these shots are very good. I think this is a great way to enjoy our forum. Louis, A Bambi and Bambo, who knew?</p>

<p>I took this one this morning. I found this monster beetle while I was walking through a cemetery near Tokyo. I tried to get him to pose for me, but he wouldn't stay still. I shot the pic with my F1 using a 50 3.5 macro lens.</p>

The WWII Memorial in Washington, DC. Shot w AV-1 and the lowly FD 35mm f 2.8.</p>

<p>Oh Yes, Sweet Home Chicago : )</p>

Canon F-1, 28mm f/2.8 Canon FD, Tri-X<br>

I'm sure you can figure where that was taken, Andy...</p>

<p>Here's another of my shots from Millennium Park.. I believe this was also on the 28mm lens, although it might have been the 50mm f/1.4. I like the composition, but I could have executed it better.. the top of the Standard Oil building being chopped off is really annoying me...Although nothing in this scene is going anywhere (i really hope... minus the clouds) so I guess I'll just go back and re-shoot.<br>

<p>I bet Don knows where this cute house is. <br>

Taken June 2009,</p><div></div>

<p>Excellent pictures, every one of them! Keep 'em coming by all means. Michael O--I took those same shots but chose to post different ones. Yours are superb. That whole area is fun to wander around and photograph. What a lot of fun! It's great to see more of everyone's work.</p>

<p>Jeff, Yikes! What a bug! It looks like he's trying to dislodge your cap to do his worst to your glass with that massive claw!</p>

<p>Jeff, From my time in Japan many moons ago is that thing called a Kabuto Beetle? I seem to recall the claws and antennae in front resemble a helmut once worn by the Samurai, hence the name. I remember seeing young Japanese children making pets of these things and letting them crawl up and down their arms. Shudder! And yes Tim, I know exactly where that house is in Blowing Rock. My shot of it is one of Toki's favorites. Take a look at my Flickr photostream and see Toki sitting at the summit of Sharp Top. That was before we hiked off that sucker. My legs are just know getting back to normal. Getting old is not for sissies. Nice to see all the posts. Bring on more!</p>

<p>I took this one a few weeks ago</p><div></div>

<p>This is my first post to a photo.net forum, but I thought I'd just say I'm having a lot of fun shooting with a Canon EF and a couple lenses I inherited from my dad (along with a recent Vivitar Series 1 28-90mm I picked up). I've learned alot about these classic Canon cameras thanks to you all - so thanks a bunch. I post a picture a couple days a week to a photoblog here: <a href="http://atenablepeace.com/photoblog">http://atenablepeace.com/photoblog</a> and recently those shots have mostly been from the Canon EF. </p>
