Jun 11th, Dusk, Night and Dawn

Being extremely new to photography, when I was in Vietnam, I had to experiment quite a lot under different lighting conditions. Until I bought the Nikon F Photomic T with built in light meter, the only meter I had was a cheap, old, selenium photocell model. Therefore, the results were always quite unpredictable. They were all handheld shots, as I had no tripod in Vietnam.

Today, I am posting some of those photo results. I took them all on Da Nang AB during the period 1965-66.
