Electro 35 CC - Mabry Mill In November

[farlymac]

One of the attractions along the Blue Ridge Parkway is Mabry Mill in Floyd County, VA. It’s closed for the season now, but one can still do a walk around of the grounds to get a sense of what life was like back in those times.

A couple of days after Thanksgiving, I loaded up the Yashica Electro 35 CC rangefinder with Kodak T-Max 100 to get some photos of the place. Not much has changed since my first visit many years ago. I should have used a yellow filter on the lens as it was somewhat hazy cloudy, but that was easy enough to fix in post with a contrast boost. Other than that, no other corrections were made except to straighten the horizon on a few images. I think the bright frame lines mask is slightly askew in the viewfinder. Or maybe my right eyeball is crooked.

Nice shots. Haven't used my CC since I cleaned its viewfinder sometime earlier this year.

Too much busy shooting the Bessa-R...I dislike its plastic covers and loud shutter sound (CC is metal, and quiet), however the Bessa eats one roll after another...

the camera looks to be overexposing a bit.

They don't look quite as good on here as on other sites.

You are probably not as level-headed as you used to be. ,:-;

Yeah, I even put my hat on crooked.
