Martin W. Grosnick -- Image Of The Month

I ran across this old image while reorganizing slides (you remember those, don't you?)--my first published image, appearing in a 1975 issue of Minolta Mirror (a newsletter for Minolta camera owners). If I remember correctly, I received the grand sum of $75. After moving to Alaska I upgraded to Nikon equipment, and when I found that Canon cameras could autofocus faster than me, I switched to Canon in 1995.

Eagle River runs through an old copper mining district on its way to Lake Superior, and was a favored area to learn slow shutter techniques with running water. Back in the '70s this was a fairly secluded spot; now it is someone's living room view...

Minolta SRT-101 camera with 50mm Macro Rokkor lens, exposure of 1/4 second at f5.6, ASA 25 Kodachrome II film, on a Tiltall tripod.
