Mercury II Test: Post Repairs

[farlymac]

Okay, so I'll quit piggybacking on Pinks thread, and start my own.
After making repairs, and restoring the looks of the Merc II, I loaded it up with some Kodak Gold 200, and headed out to capture some springtime images.

A sampling

The normal frame for this camera is portrait. Corrected and cropped.

This was growing right next to a utility pole, thus the title. Focus was set for 1.5ft. Exposure f16 @ 1/200.


Target Practice by br1078phot, on Flickr
Not just for the gunners, but for me too. I had this centered up in the viewfinder, so there is quite a bit of parallax, even at 15-20 feet.

The powerlines ovehead were really crackling.
