Earlier in the summer I bought the Kodak Ektar H35 camera. It is named H35 because it shoots half frames on 35mm film. Instead of 36 shots, you get 72. Half frame cameras are a little strange to use - when you're holding the camera horizontally, you are actually shooting a picture in portrait orientation, and vice versa when the camera is turned vertically. Seasoned half frame users sometimes have the photos printed or scanned with two images side by side, creating interesting diptychs. I might try this on a future photo walk. This was also my first time using Ilfocolor 400. Overall, I am pleased with the results I achieved from this inexpensive point and shoot camera. The film has a pleasant grain which is magnified due the smaller image.

The radome in the sixth photo is part of a decommissioned Cold War era Gap Filler Radar system.  Well, I assume it is decommissioned. Who knows, somebody might still be manning their post keeping southeast Michigan safe from enemy aircraft!
