Time travel with a Canon-F-1NEW

[john_neller]

<p>All of the Canon F-1s have their charm, but the F-1N is my favorite, feels best in my hand, plus speedy silicon meter. My wife and decided to drive to Roslyn WA on a brilliant sunny day. It is in the heart of the Cascades, about 70 miles east of Seattle, and can be reached on I-90. We went there for lunch.<br>

<br />Roslyn is the place chosen to emulate small Alaskan town in the popular TV series "Northern Exposure". I used a 28-85 Canon lens and Kodacolor 200.</p>

<p>Lunch. You gotta love a place that has breakfast cocktails on the menu.</p><div></div>

<p>I've lived in Seattle all my life, and I've never been to Roslyn. Nice shots. I especially like the first one.</p>

<p>I liked "Northern Exposure", and remember the moose in front of Roslyn. Or think I do, it's sometimes hard to get it straight.<br>

Like an old sociological statistician, I am broken down by age and sex.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>Always thought that moose walking down the street during the opening credits of "Northern Exposure" was fake, until a few years after it went off the air I had that experience for real in Boulder Colorado with a huge stag at seven o'clock one morning.</p>

<p>I like the pictures John, and the Canon New F-1. Looks like a relaxing afternoon.</p>

<p>Best,<br>

<p>You are too kind. Looks like my zoom has some serious barrel distortion as shown by NW Mining. It is a very picturesque region, but I wouldn't visit in the winter, unless you a skiier. This past winter, the skiing season extended into May at nearby ski slopes. The slopes are lighted, and many people go after work. If the roads are, you can make it there from Seattle in close an hour.</p>

<p>Your'e preaching to the converted John, I have three Canon F1N's that I've yused for more then twenty five years and they'll have to prise them out of my cold dead hands.</p>

<p>Having lived in Anchorage AK for a year (and Fairbanks another year) I can say the moose walking around like it owns the place can be VERY common place. Even in residential areas it was very common to have them traipsing all over your yard and drive, depositing their piles of "pellets" all over the place. You'd never want to get near them, though. They were still wild, and could hurt you without even thinking twice about it.</p>

<p>I like the shots. Colorful yet aesthetically pleasing.</p>

<p>I think my F-1N will be the last man standing, as I'm inexorably squeezed towards digital. That and the Canon P. Good to see others are still using them.</p>

<p>On moose: I had a national park warden once tell me that IHHO a cow moose protecting a calf is the most dangerous animal in the Canadian boreal forest, bar none. I give them a wide berth. (This is a crop from a 135mm frame, also on an F-1N. And my car was between me and momma.)</p>
