These photos were taken in December 1998 and January 1999, using Fuji rangefinder cameras, specifically the GW690II (90 mm lens) and the GSW690III (65 mm lens). These cameras yield eight 6x9 cm (actual image size is 56x83 mm, or about 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inch) frames per roll of 120 film. I used several older generation Kodak negative films [Pro 400 (PPF), Pro 400 MC (PMC), Vericolor III Pro (VPS)] as well as several of the Portra group of films [160NC, 400NC, 400VC]. The negatives were scanned on an Epson V500 flatbed using Vuescan software, and edited in Picture Window Pro. On my laptop, the photos look best in subdued light. If you print them, you may want to adjust brightness, contrast and color to your liking. Vessel documentation numbers are from the Inland River Record.
