Bob, Love the shots...particularly those with the 500DTL. That shed with the corrugated roof reminds me so much of some of my grandfather's old outbuildings on his farm in Tennessee...about a zillion years ago, it seems. I have not been back down there since he passed away (at 92) in 1991. ----- and, Tommy, just because the DTL meter failed is no reason not to use it any more! That mechanical beast will still take great pictures...you just have be a little more involved in the exposure settings! You know... Sunny 16 and all that! LOL!! ;D ----- BTW Bob, ever think of getting a cat?  |

Thanks guys...
Wayne--yes--lol
Ron---that building, I believe was a "sugaring shack" in its day (used to boil down the sap into maple syrup)
Minolatman--PM me and I can send you a text that explains how to use that 500DTL, quite effectively, without the meter.

Thanks guys... Ron---that building, I believe was a "sugaring shack" in its day (used to boil down the sap into maple syrup) Bob My grandfather's place had what they called a "lassie mill" -- for making molasses out of the sap ground from sugar cane. People came from two counties away with trucks of their cane, for him to make molasses out of it. I remember one old farmer (he was probably younger than I am now) telling me "Your Pappy has the magic when it comes to makin' lassie!" His molasses was always very sweet, not bitter like the stuff you get in the store. |

Bob,
Very nice photos.
Number two. Old buildings always appeal to me.
I particularly like number three. Those two tabbys are so - so - cattish. What great faces!

Thanks for the kind words Mickey.
Ron-any photos of that "Lassie" building?
Fascinating that they have similar purposes.
Bob

Ron and Vintageslrs, I was away for the long weekend and just saw your responses!!
Thank you for the advice on the Mamiya 500DTL, I appreciate it. However, I ended up selling the camera on ebay a few months ago! I think I'm going to get another one on ebay but I might go with the DSX next time.
Thank you again!
