[Leica] IMG: Last Film Images of 2011

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

I shot a roll of Kodak 200 color in my Leica IIIf using my new to me Canon 
50/1.4 lens, and had it processed to CD at the local Walgreen store today.  
This was mainly to see what the lens produced, and, at the same time, check 
out the Walgreen processing.  I found that, for posting on-line, the CD 
resolution is not too bad.  Here are some examples:

Our local credit union started out 60 years ago at Arnold AF Base, and now 
has branches all over the mid-state.  They recently built a new headquarters 
building on a half block site that contained a large drainage ditch, 
carrying storm drainage from the north end of the airport.  Landscaping is 
still underway, but, needless to say, water was a consideration in all of 
these efforts.

A new Sikorsky S-76 passed through today on a factory delivery flight.  I 
don't know the destination, but all of the placards were in Spanish.

A week or so ago, I came across a Pitts Special S-2B at the gas pump.  
Though no longer competitive in the "Open" classification, these little 
aircraft can be very challenging to master.  They were built especially for 
aerobatics.

Last is the observation deck, or front porch, of the new airport terminal 
building.  As you will note, the rockers were donated by a local 
manufacturer familiar to most of you.

Comments and critiques welcomed.

By the way, I am impressed with this lens!
