1996, late january 1996 in the Dryden area of Ontario, Trans Canada pipeline ruptured west of dryden. Blew out 1.5 Km's of gas pipe, in a swamp area. I was called in to do the accident survey the next day. Daytime temp that day was -42 C and i had two cameras with me. A one time use camera and my K1000. My K1000 worked for about an hour then froze. The one time worked through out the day. We managed to get photos, the Government people could not get for the report with these two cameras. They insisted on using auto cameras.:-) Dave > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > Equine Photography in York Region -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
