Well I decided to use a local processing lab to develop the attached photo for my single G-Whiz entry. Much faster entry!

I had a hard time creating an image that would represent the last day of the last 1000 years but this shot reflects my hopes for the new Millennium. Taken at a weapons graveyard, using my G2 with the CZ21mm, with B+W Polarizing filter at f11, shutter speed unknown, using Kodak Portra VC400, film scanned by my new HP PhotoSmart S20XI into Photoshop 5.02. My wish is as follows:

"MAY ALL WEAPONS OF WAR BE DECOMMISSIONED AND RETURNED TO ORGANIC MATTER IN THIS NEW MILLENNIUM"

Happy New Year To All,
Regards Bob Myers

I spent a peaceful 2 hours on January 1st walking through Lake Sammamish State Park taking photographs. This is one of several line abstractions. I tried to frame the floats in such a way that the viewer's eye is lead into the photograph from bottom right, up along the floats and out along the horizontal line at the top left.

Camera: G2
Lens: 90mm
Exposure: f16, shutter speed not recorded
Film: Ilford FP4+ EI 100, developed in Ilfotech DD-X 1:4

The Photo was made a few minutes after midnight on Jan 1. I used a Contax G2 with the 28mm lens. Film was Ektachrome 100 SW, exposed at f4 shutter speed of 1/8 of a second. The photo was made at the First Institutional Baptist Church New Year's celebration in Phoenix, Arizona.

This photo was taken with the G2 and 35/2. Kodak E100VS. The aperture was f5.6 and the camera was set on a mini tripod about 20cm off the ground. Exposure length was unrecorded. This is the wonderful waterwall designed by architect Philip Johnson located in uptown Houston. I shot a number of these photos while people were wandering about photographing each other.

Quantum Twilight. C-41 Fuji 800. G1 with the 28mm Biogon set wide open and detached at a distance of about a meter. Shutterspeed unrecorded because I did not want to risk looking into the laser's beam.

Lonely Street. Taken few minutes after midnight 01.01.2000. A guy was using an old bike as a ramp for his fireworks. Streets seems lonely (but was not).

Taken with my G2, 28 mm, f22, probably 16 seconds, on tripod. Shot activated by self timer. I activated and just waited for the thing to take off from the bike.

Film Superia 200.

Contax G1, 28mm, probably f/8 at camera chosen exposure, probably 1/60 or 1/90, Kodachrome 25, January, 2, 2000, handheld, scanned with original HP PhotoSmart, cropped to about a 35mm view - but with a shifted perspective (lowered), edges sharpened in Photoshop. The kiddy carousel and Ferris wheel at the empty amusement park on the Santa Monica pier were dazzling at about 9:30am! Contax contrast at its most extreme!

John Bardwell

G2 with 35mm at f11/60 shooting ProviaF. This was sunset January 2 on Lake Nippissing in Northern Ontario. Good sunset, not so great fishing that day.

Gilberto Colangelo

Contax G1 with 35mm lens (or was it the 21mm?) on a tripod. Aperture and exposure (a long one) unrecorded.

Film: Fuji Reala.

At home, after friends and relatives left in the night between 1999 and 2000.

Wood End. Contax G1, 35mm, exposure not recorded. TMax 400CN film. Taken early on the morning of the 1st of January out my back window on the first floor; high enough to see over the fog.
