Macro Mondays: "Cotton"
The coarse black cotton threads are attached behind this nifty little device ( - 6cm diagonally from corner to corner). In the background is the fine cotton weave of one of my favourite pocket-handkerchiefs.
The "Haka Autoknips" is an accessory self-timer for delayed triggering of a camera's shutter via a cable-release. According to the instruction leaflet, it is to be tied on to the camera, e.g. to the struts supporting the lens and bellows ( - such of those of the Voigtländer Bessa shown in the first comment below), to avoid kinking the cable. The cable-release is activated by the piston just visible through the hole to the right of the red knob. Fast shutter speeds are set on the camera. If the camera is set to "B", then extended shutter speeds from 1/2 second to 10 seconds can be set on the "Autoknips".
(My apologies for the misleading original text to this photo - it pays to read instructions!)
HMM!
