I flashed a new firmware update into my camera, so I was testing the upgrade with this quick shot. Taken today during a lunch time walk. Seems to work, eh? With spring comes a new season of pinecones. Mar 26, 2009 L1010883.RWL

Cosina CSR, Cosinon Auto MC f/1.7 50mm

Kodak Gold 200

This was definitely a tough one with which to strike a balance between warm and unnatural. The open shad made it a bit blue to begin with, so this has been warmed up quite a bit.

Additional information:

Cosina CSR backyard test roll. I recently bought this camera for the spot meter feature. Turns out it's a really neat camera. It also has a double exposure switch and depth of field preview (a must with M42 mount, I suppose).

Anyway, the lens has some swirly cleaning haze - pretty noticeable with a flashlight - on the inside of the front element. It wouldn't clean off, so I worried about contrast issues. In the end, I think it does fine. Nice and sharp, and no haze issues unless the sun is shining into the lens.

As for the Kodak Gold 200... I usually HATE the results when I get pictures from the lab, but am quite pleased after doing my own scanning. I think it's a Fuji conspiracy to make their machines produce bad results from Kodak film... but probably not. But I love the greens and yellows from Gold 200.

The Outer Sunset, San Francisco

Pinecones strewn about the winter trace trail to Dry Lake.

The winter light is so distinctive. This photo was taken shortly before noon, yet it looks like early morning or late afternoon.

pinecones are pretty cool, i guess.

out and about on this rainy, overcast day....so many leaves and pinecones on the ground...not so much on the trees....winter is coming!

I thought this large green pinecone was rather beautiful so here it is - just taken with my mobile (before I move on to choosing my street photos - and doing some more)

Pinecone in the Tomoka River in Tomoka State Park in Ormond Beach, FL.

The water in that part was almost oily, as you can see around the edges of the cone.
