6) "Snow Storm A-Coming"

Shot some 500m from home.

 Exposure data are estimated, because these particular light conditions only lasted for a couple of minutes before the clouds covered the setting sun and I was bracketing like a crazy (I invested nearly an entire roll in this photo)

7) "Apple Tree and Tractor"

Benson, VT

Leica IIIb, in this case sporting a Rodenstock Heligon 35/2.8 lens from about 1951 and a Tewa Polyfocus finder. The film was suitably expired TriX, rated at 400 and developed at a local lab and scanned by me on a Coolscan IV.  The outdoor shot was done at about F11. It's what I see from my back door.

8) "Red Arch"

Zeiss 524/16   

Ming Tomb of Emperor Hongwu in Nanjing China Spring festival. f/8 at 1/50.Fujicolor Superia 100

9) "Silo"

I live in a small farming community in central Michigan. The grain elevator is the most prominent business in our village. This is the most un-cluttered part of the structure I could find. I like the way the rust on the silo adds a certain texture to the scene.

Exposure was f=8 1/250 sec. Film was Fuji Superia100

10) "No Life Guard"

 Lake Ontario in the "Beaches" district of Toronto, Ontario two weeks ago. I guess the parks and rec department decided to leave the 'no lifequard on duty' sign just in case some crazy canucks decided to go for a dip in Lake Ontario in mid February...

Ken Ng

pre-war (circa 1935-1937) Super Ikonta B 6x6 folding rangefinder (coupled) (model 530/16) w/ uncoated Tessar 80/2.8 with a Compur Rapid shutter... Picture was exposed at f8 or f11 at approximately 1/250 on Agfa RSX 100 colour transparency film... corrected in PS for approx. one stop overexposure...Although I've been tempted to sell it, whenever I take it out to use, I'm reminded of why it will never be sold... it's still a pleasure to use...

Paul Headland

Zeh Zeca, exact age unknown but originated somewhere in the '30s (1937) I suspect. 135mm Schneider & Co. Kreuznach Zecanar Anastigmat f4.5 Exposure: 1/10s @f22, Maco UP100Plus 9x12cm, 1cm front rise commercially processed. Scanner: Epson 3170, so I had to scan the negative in two halves and stitch together. This is only the second shot I've ever taken with sheet film and this camera.

15) "Old Mill"

Kodak Retinette 017.

Efke 25

This is, or at least was the main mill in my village near Manchester UK. Now it has been split up into small business units and a bit run down. A great area for pictures as it's down adjacent to the river and the canal. Shoot with yellow Coken held in front of lens.

16)  "Big Sky over Moor"

Honorable Mention

Andrea Ingram

Brownie 620

 Film. Orwo 100.Developed in Tmax

19) "Trees in the distance"

Where I live is in the photo, but not the house in the foreground! Mine is in the trees in the distance. This is the only other house within about a mile of mine. This house was probably built around 110 years ago, but nobody has lived in it for at least 50 or 60 years.  The man who built and first lived in it was the son of the man who built and first lived in my house.
