Walk in the Swamp

[keithslater]

Received a new Collapsible 50mm FSU lens today. Was kinda itching to get out and try it, so my son Jacob and I took a walk through the Swamp near our house. This swamp borders what is left of the Chemung Canal that feeds into Seneca Lake. The swamp is fed by a multitude of waterfalls from the far hill. We walked down the clearing where the railroad tracks used to be. It is now part of the Finger Lakes Trail. I think they are going to pave it. The film was mitsubishi 100. I did not keep track of exposure except for the one of my son was wide open.

The Industars totaly come to life with a polarizer, ive got to the point where i cant be out with out one. Dramatic difference.

The Industars are nice little Tessar clones aren't they? Very nice work. I do hope your son was using that camera around his neck too :) If you don't mind my asking, where is this swamp located?

Thank you for sharing these.

The swamp is in between Watkins Glen and Montour Falls NY. If you look at a map of NY, Watkins Glen is at the southern tip of Seneca Lake.
He was using the camera! He does pretty good.

Cool. Just took a look on Google Maps ;) Glad to hear he's shooting too. I really gotta get that Lynx 14 repaired for when my son is just a bit older...
