I shot these in 1994 on Fuji Velvia. Camera was either a Nikon FM or a F3HP - lens was the Nikkor 35-105mm ais. The point of land is Paradisa Point, and in the summer the sun and moon rise from behind this Peninsula of land. I know these three shots were taken within a short period of time - a few days - same day?. Sunrise over Paradise, Sunset at Northport bay, and Moonrise at Paradise. They are all in one bay (1 & 3 looking left, #2 looking right)
Speaking of film:
Squeezed off about 6-8 frames this afternoon with some 20 year old expired Tri-X bulk loaded film. (to practice & get the rust out) I noticed two things. Every time I take a picture I look at the little metal square on the back of the Nikon FM body (that you are suppose to put the film box top in to remind you what film you are using) expecting there to be a screen. Yeah, gotta be patient - I haven't even got all the chemistry, nor plumbed the wet sink drain leak. The other thing I noticed is that a split image focusing screen is a wonderful thing. I sure missed that, and the small purring sound of brass gears on the film advance lever.
