Mary and the Christ Child

I went in to Kansas City yesterday to run some film through my recently acquired Zeiss Ikon Contina III camera. Here an image of the statue of Mary and the Christ Child at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

 

The Cathedral is located on one of the highest points in Kansas City, and it has a golden dome that is very distinctive and easily visible from many locations throughout the city.

 

This image captured using expired (5/24) Foma 400 film and developed with Xtol at 1:1. I plan to revisit this location at a later date to shoot some color film.

 

This camera has a zone focus lens that you must dial in the distance to insure correct focus. This is a challenging task without a rangefinder, but this camera has an aide that I used for this image. If you set the camera on f16 and 15 feet (which is marked in red), everything from 15 feed until infinity will be in focus.
