Kenny's Pictures, Batch No. 6

This batch includes everything from the beginning of Spring semester 2000 till Spring Break, so roughly from January to March 2000. It includes many pictures of our CC staff, as well as many class and experimental shots.

CKC-CC Staff Potluck Pictures, March 2000
After much planning by Liz, this potluck finally materialized in March. Everyone showed up, and we were all one big happy group eating and playing games. Since there are too many pictures to describe, I'll put them in chronological order without notation. Most of them involve the "dares" we had to do in order to get our secret presents. Let's see, stats: N8008s, AF-35/2 or AIS-135/2.8, Kodak Royal Gold 100.

New Lens Pictures, March 2000
I got two new lenses, the AF-35/2 and the AIS-135/2.8. I wanted to test them out to see how they were, so I ran a roll of Royal Gold 100 through it with my N8008s. A couple of pictures came out really nicely, which are included here.

President's Day Weekend, February 2000
I went back home for the President's Day weekend to buy a new camera. Here are some of the pictures that I took with the new camera (Nikon N8008s) with Kodak Gold 100.

Night shot of my High School
Gee, it even looks ominous at midnight when there's no one there.... I'm just glad I'm no longer stuck there =). (50.5 KB)
My Backyard When?
Guess when I took this picture. 2:00 or so in the afternoon, perhaps? Nope, try 1:30 in the morning! It's not possible, you say. Oh, but it is, when it's a full moon and the shutter's open for eight minutes. Pretty interesting picture! (55.5 KB)
A Flower in the Moonlight
This picture is of a flower in my backyard lit only by the moonlight. It took about four and a half minutes to expose correctly. (25.1 KB)
