Almost everything went wrong with my latest Muttart Conservatory shoot. I set the film speed incorrectly on the camera, and I also mistakenly set the camera to 1/4000 of a second shutter speed instead of to "A". This is an easy mistake to make with the Nikon FE2. Here is the best shot (Nikon FE2, Nikon Series E 100mm, f2.8).
And here is a massive South American rodent (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 135mm, f3.5).
Here are a couple of the Wallabies that they have at the zoo (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 135mm, f3.5).
Here is Streetcar Number 42 at Fort Edmonton. It was built in 1912 by the St. Louis Car Company, and operated by the ERR (Edmonton Radial Railway) between 1913 and 1950. It is currently operated by the Edmonton Radial Railway Society within the park (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8).
I have been trying for a couple of years to get a decent shot of the train locomotive at Fort Edmonton, and have still not succeeded (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8).
Here's the magnificent log barn at the Mellon Farm, along with a partially-functional wind-powered water pump in the background (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8).
Here's an early gas-powered tractor located at the Mellon Farm at Fort Edmonton Park (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8).
Here's a shot of an old car and an old bus at Fort Edmonton (Olympus OM4R, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8).
Fort Edmonton opens on the Victoria Day long weekend. Here's a shot of an old delivery truck - a GM I think (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 28mm, f2.8)
To the likely disapointment of local religious whackos, Edmonton's Valley Zoo is not a creationist theme park such as that recently opened in Big Valley. However, they do have this funky ark-like boat that used to house snakes in the summer months (Olympus OM4T, Zuiko 135mm f3.5).
