Yup, that's I-285.  I lived right off it at the River Bend Apartments
located on the Chattahoochie River, on the northwest side, and later at the
Gold Key a few miles south of lower central section of 285.  Have made a
blue jillion pix at Stone Mtn. in the wooded area and around the amusement
park.  Used to be trail that you could walk to some beautiful scenery and it
made excellent backgrounds, too.

Nor do I, for sure, but in Daytona Beach I had one with an AEL setting that
was a simple and easy but quite reliable unit.  That indicated an automatic
setting for electronic exposures, meaning the camera set shutter and
aperture.  You only had to clue the setting by  providing the correct ASA
speed for the film in use.  The other setting just might have to do with a
delayed trip for tripod use, click and get in the picture routine, but
please understand these are merely blind guesses!  

Good luck, Andy!
