Why is this man smiling... sort of?
This is another self-portrait because there just aren't enough models around when you need them. I've been working on automating a packard-style shutter and this is the latest test. It's ready for use now. The goal here was to find a usable shutter for a 42cm Voigtlander Heliar that would sync with flash for portraits. This has been achieved and now I must use this tailboard camera for more portraits. Using a black card for a shutter gets awkward when you are trying to work a camera with a model. This shutter will run at a consistent 1/3 of a second or longer using an enlarger timer and it's pretty cool. And, using the footswitch input on the timer, I can plug in a wireless receiver. Yes, a hundred year old camera with a wireless shutter... mwahahaha. Oh, and I know that my costume is silly.
Here is a video showing the electric packard-style shutter with sync in action:
