My first real camera. A Petri 7S manual camera with all the settings. I bought it at a pawnshop while I was on the island of Okinawa in 1964.
And got my first best picture.
Gene Stencel was the subject. In the barracks. A Quonset hut. He had a candle. I saw the lighting potential. Got him to shield the flame with his hand. Timed exposure in the dark. Nailed it!
