Last call in Bieber, California (Big Valley)

Nikon D600

Holga HPL-N pinhole lens

40mm focal length

f/160 (.25mm aperture)

ISO 100

 

The Holga vignettes substantially on the D600's full-frame FX sensor, but I rather like the effect.

 

I've found that in full daylight at high ISO (6400 to 25,600), the D600 can do handheld shots at 1/30 sec., quite a fun thing to play with!

Bristol Eastern High School students while walking out of school Wednesday to mark the one month anniversary of the Parkland school shooting. Students planned to stay outside for 17 minutes, one minute for each victim, they also want more gun control.

The lens hood has been “shaved” to allow a nearly full circle image to be captured.

Bristol police while blocking the entrance to members of the media as Bristol Eastern High School students walked out of school Wednesday to mark the one month anniversary of the Parkland school shooting. Students planned to stay outside for 17 minutes, one minute for each victim, they also want more gun control.

I removed the hot shoe and the original solid wires that ran from the receiver's PCB to the hot shoe. I then drilled out the hole in the receiver's plastic body that was formerly occupied by the hot shoe center contact, so the new 1/8-inch (3.5mm) phone jack would fit in it's place.

 

Stranded light-gauge wires were soldered to the PCB and the new phone jack, and the job was done!

 

The radio trigger set works perfectly like this, and is much more versatile, and safer to mount, too.

March for Our Lives, Seattle. March 24, 2018.

Students in Boulder, Co. ended a morning of protest against gun violence, including a walkout and 17 minutes of silence, with a rally where mostly student speakers called for stronger gun control legislation.

This photo was made in September 1997 with my first digital camera. It was a SoundVision SVMini-2, and was made in the US!

It had a CMOS sensor, a new thing at the time. Actual resolution was 960x800, and it saved the images on a small amount of internal RAM (Only 500 kilobytes, enough for about 12-25 photos!). It also had a slot for a physically large linear flash PC card, but those cards were VERY expensive back then, even if they were only of a MB or two capacity:

Image compression was a proprietary "wavelet" format that was claimed to be better than .jpg, which was then converted in the computer to an uncompressed bitmap or .jpg. No LCD screen on the camera, so it was strictly a viewfinder to shoot- check 'em later on the PC setup. Fixed focus, fixed focal length lens. Serial cable transfer, no USB.

 

As you'll see from my photos, image quality was rotten. And I had a weird compression level setting problem with it, so I visited the company near Boston, and ended up back in their tech lab, talking with a boffin. They ended up being totally mystified by the problem, and gave me a newer, better model for my trouble.

 

Here are some specs on the camera:

It appears that the company may be defunct. Their website has not been updated for about five years, from the dates shown:

I did not keep it long, and did not buy another digital camera for a few years. The next one was a Nikon 800, which was a revelation compared to the old SV Mini.
