Gettysburg

Shooting with the 400 f/5.6.

Took a trip to Gettysburg with friends this past weekend and really enjoyed a good shoot.  The weather wasn't too good, and my inexperience with shooting film really showed, as I was unable to overcome some minor issues with the film feeder and probably lost two and a half rolls of film on the day.

My favorite shot that I took was from inside of a church at a Lutheran seminary there:

85mm f/1.8 @ f/2, 1/100s, ISO 1600




The inside of the church was pretty dark but afforded some interesting views through the stained glass.  I'd like to do some distortion correction, but I liked this one also:

24mm f/2.8 @ f/2.8, 1/60s, ISO 800

The 400 did not see as much action, but I did take a few shots on the way to Spangler House:

400mm f/5.6 @ f/5.6, 1/3200s, ISO 1000
400mm f/5.6 @ f/5.6, 1/800s, ISO 1000
400mm f/5.6 @ 5.6, 1/1250s, ISO 1000

All in all, a fun trip with good company.  Hopefully there will be more.  Two trips a year is not enough!
