Product of the Kodak Pony 135 Model C

A couple of months ago, I wrote about a recent flea market find, a couple of Kodak Pony 135 Model C cameras (here). After arbitrarily choosing one to run a roll of film through first (because there's only one good film door between the two of them). I put the Pony in my car with guarded optimism...but even that was too much. Something appears to have gone awry with the focus mechanism in the last 50+ years. So film has gone into the second of the two Ponies...with dwindling hope.

There was a lot of color and contrast in this scene that I really wanted to bring out. And with the clouds being so bright and the foliage being significantly darker, the best way to go seemed to be multi-exposure bracketing that is often known as HDR. 

This is one of several photographs made on a visit to Marion County. All this driving around the state for work-related purposes, really seems to be working in my photographic favor.
