Where: Lake Csaj, Hungary
When: 06/02/2011
Scientific name: Ardea Alba
Detailed description:
The biggest European heron breeding settlement is found at Lake Csaj in the Kiskunság National Park. Most of the nesting birds are migrating before winter but some of them will stay and brave the elements. Last January the weather was cold all the lakes were frozen exept one spot. When the light was not strong enough I experimented with long exposition time and photographed the birds while they were moving.
Camera: NIKON D700
Lens: 300mm
Aperture: 6.3
ISO: 320
Speed:1/5s
Other equipment: using a hand built hide
If anyone knows ANYTHING about this camera, please leave a comment.
This is a rarity, unless anyone knows any different.
It's sold as a 'Wester - Auto West' The manufacturer is NISHIDA OPTICAL CO. The initials NKK (for Nishida Kōgaku Kōgyō) are on the lens. The company went bust in 1958.
And that's all I can find out about this nicely made rangefinder, if anyone knows any more please let me know.
I have owned this camera for nearly ten years and done many searches on the internet, asked for information on many forums, and shown the camera to dealers and collectors. Nobody has ever seen one before, not even a picture. It's as though this is the only one in existence, but the serial number of 31144 might suggest otherwise.
It's a well made camera, the construction is better than many of the cameras of this era which have poorly pressed, thin steel, top plates, This is a heavy and strong camera.
The shutter is smooth and quiet, with speeds from B, 1 to 500 sec. Apertures on the 45mm Wescon lens go from f16 to f2.8. The closest focus on the ( very stiff ) control is 2 feet. There's an ISO dial from 800 to 10, this is just a reminder dial, there's no light meter or battery.
Under the ISO dial is the film wind on lever, and this is a joy. I have never felt such a smooth mechanism on any camera. There's a tiny but clear frame counter on the back of the top plate.
The viewfinder is excellent, very clear with a good yellow patch, out of the few rangefinders I have this is by far the best.
Other than that it's as you would expect from a camera of this period, tripod mount, strap lugs, cold shoe and one nice touch, a shutter lock with a nice knurled twist button on the front.

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
¡No es fácil fotografiar y amar el resultado!
Probé por dentro, pero no pude enfocar bien. Seguí tu consejo Jackie, puse una caja en el lugar de mi cabeza, me enfoqué y pasé sus lentes MF en la lente, usé el autodisparador y obtuve instalada.
Así que salí, buscando un escaparate. y la altura es que era un hermoso día soleado (finalmente), yo estaba a la sombra y el fondo detrás de mí estaba sobreexpuesto, así que esperé a que cayera el sol.
Tuve que usar mi zoom a 155 mm porque de lo contrario me encontré con las ramas desnudas de un árbol justo encima de mi cabeza, no muy estéticas. Obligado a ir a ISO 800 porque estaba en la sombra y el brillo cayó con el sol.
Postraitement necesario porque la foto original es muy oscura.
En estas fotos quería mostrar que estaba extremadamente frío, ¡nunca podría sobrevivir en casa, Jackie!

Burbank FD Engine 12 working a fully involved auto fire.
I made this image from the Portage Hike and Bike Trail bridge over the CSX New Castle Subdivision in Kent, Ohio. The auto rack train is coming eastbound.
The profile of a classic grand prix car, taken at Goodwood last year on the start line. The driver (correct me if i'm wrong) was Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame.
An old postcard ... Memphis was late to get bridges because they had a viable transportation system based on steamboats and barges. The coming of the railway forced the construction of a railway bridge in 1892. The growing popularity of the automobile necessitated a bridge for cars, and this bridge - the Harahan - opened in 1916 and was used by trains, automobiles, and pedestrians. This is the bridge the Piersons would have crossed in their pathfinding venture, not the one we crossed (as it was built in 1949).
