Meet my Minolta Autocord and the PhotoJ picnic

I finally got the film back of the photos I took at the previously posted Photojournalism "Welcome Back" picnic. I shot a roll of Ilford 50 ISO on my Minolta Autocord, metering with my Weston Master selenium meter. Nerdalicious. I'm still getting a hang of how best to shoot with the camera, particularly the focusing method, but here are some fun pictures.

It wouldn't be a proper photo gatheration without a few photos of photographers photographing themselves taking photographs. (Yes, you read that right.)

See what I mean? Clint, with Kevin lurking in the background.

Photobucket
Photojournalism has never looked so cool.

Rita and Calin talk about serious things.

Rick is grillin' like a villain.

David and Calin made fire. They are proud.

Oh my God... That photo of Jakob is classic... Please please please enter that in the CPOY portrait category or something.
