Italian Water Gardens at Longwood

03780015

The Water Garden at Longwood Gardens are nice and symmetrical. Pierre DuPont designed the entire gardens and calculated the hydraulics of the water. Another interesting part is that he made the back pools 14 feet long to make it look symmetrical from the viewing point. It has been there since 1927. I took this picture on a slight overcast day with my Fujica AX-3 on Fujicolor 200.

I went to Longwood Gardens located in Pennsylvania with my girlfriend to enjoy the landscaping and flowers. It was a bit overcast that day but the flowers were still gorgeous. There is a lily pond that you can get to from the conservatory that has humongous lily pads and then these were blooming while we were there.

For my first real post, I am sharing some of my film that I have been taking. I have been shooting with film with a Voigtlander Bessa R2 which is a rangefinder type camera. It was released in 2002 and it has an Leica M mount. I put a ltm (Leica thread mount) lens to M mount adapter to use some Canon ltm lenses that I got before hand. I will write up my opinions of the Bessa R2 once I have shot more with it.

Today’s photograph was from the Bessa R2 with a Canon ltm 50mm f/1.4 on a Fuji color 200.
