Hell Gate Bridge

I went back to Astoria Park in Queens, NY two weeks ago and made a few more shots of the base of the Hell Gate Bridge. It was a very windy day and I was having a hard time keeping my hands warm. I love the arched column of the base of the bridge.

The quality of light in winter and spring always fascinates me. I like the pattern of long shadows the trees make. A few more shots with my Zeiss Ikon Nettar and Neopan 4oo film.

I recently picked up a Zeiss Ikon Nettar with a Novar 75mm f6.3 lens to supplement my Rolleicord IV. The camera is an inexpensive medium format folder that takes 120 film. It is a scale focusing camera, done by guess estimating the distance of the subject. The Novar lens is not the high end type for this camera, nevertheless, I'm happy with the sharpness and contrast of my images.
