horizon -- perhaps 40 or 50 degrees? Anyway, our region was blanketed by a
cold, dry air mass, and there was a very thin veil of cirrus
When the Minolta Maxuum was introduced, an ex-girlfriend bought one and
asked me to photograph her wedding with it. I had never used an SLR, so I
borrowed the Maxuum to become acquainted with its operation. The exposure
counter counted to 38...but the film had failed to catch on the takeup
reel.

C'mon guys, please note the "g" in my comment. I really don't

Murphy's law says that the most spectacular shot comes at frame 38.
I was sure to have made several very nice shots at Tivoli amusement park in
Copenhagen, Denmark, on a warm summer night.
Next day drove home (Netherlands) and the day after that I continued with
