A vintage photo shot way back in 1971 with my Yashicamat - 124 my introduction to medium format photography. Boy did I love this camera. The site was Beautiful Mystic Connecticut and the film Tri_X 120 Pro. I love this image.
 

 Dusk at Mystic Connecticut. This is a great example as to how a town can be touristy while retaining authenticity. A great place to visit,  photograph and eat.

 Mystic Connecticut it's name says it all. A digital image taken after the sum had set. 

 Idyllic square format black and white shot in Mystic Connecticut

Night shot.

This digital image was made in Mystic Connecticut from Mystic Inn overlooking the pond that borders its property. A shot like this would have been impossible using film because of the inevitable reciprocity failure that resulted from long exposures. I could have changed the color temperature but I like the warm colors.

Mystic at dusk

Mystic, CO, is a very lovely place to visit and enjoy that New England feel and great food. We have made many trips here and have always been very satisfied,

The bridge at Mystic

This wonderful old draw bridge is the focal point of Mystic, Connecticut. I recently got a much needed paint job along with new lights. We try to take a trip to New England once a year. The clam chowder and the cod sandwiches are magnificent.

Mystic, early night

That period after sunset and the onset of nighttime can create nice images. There's still enough light to delineate the shy for added drama. These two images were recently shot in Mystic, Connecticut with an iPhone.

Have a beautiful week

Night shots

The advantage of shooting digital is that one can change ISO speed and color balance at will. These shots are of Mystic, Connecticut a

few summers ago.

Have a wonderful weekend

A nice reflection

   It may be a corny and even trite shot but I like it. It's  really a nice reflection. It was shot from atop the old draw bridge in Mystic Conn. I think it really works.

Mystyc

The of whaling town of Mystic in western Connecticut is a splendid place to visit. It's touristy but in a tasteful manner. I just love to go there. These photos are from last year's trip. Sadly, because of many family activities, we weren't able to make our annua trip there this year. As Mets' fans say, wait until next year.

Worth another look

This night shot of the Harbor Museum in Mystic Connecticut is worth a second look. It was shot in June of 2013 with the Lumix LX-1. I hope you agree with me.

Afternoon light

It bears repeating that the best times of the day to take photos is early morning and late afternoon. This is when the sun is low at the horizon  and it's light is very warm. It is when there are nice shadows that make even a prosaic image a keeper.

Mystic. Connecticut on a misty day

Perhaps this misty conditions that often occur gave this wonderful place it's name. This mist does create  more mystical images.

No tripod, no problem

I do not like to carry tripods as I was thought to hold cameras steady especially my Leicas but there are times that one cannot hold it if a time exposure is needed. What to do. There are substitute tripods all over. This shot of Mystic , Connecticut was shot by placing the camera atop the railing on the bridge and holding it down with hand pressure. It took a  4 seconds exposure but there's no movement. No tripod, no problem.
