Was out taking pics of a moth on a plant in the garden. Suddenly lost the moth - hadn't seen it fly off, couldn't see it anywhere on the plant...
I am more behind than normal with film developing and scanning as I am doing a lot of training again ahead of various triathlon events. It's not a chore, I really love the cycling (my joint #1 obsession that comes out with the sunshine!) but it means I don't always get chance to edit / post etc.
This photo was me testing a new lens I bought for my 4x5 Intrepid camera. The well regarded Schneider APO-Symmar 120mm f/5.6. A tiny lens considering the size of the film format! (see a photo I shared on my Instagram a few weeks+ ago)(similar size to a Leica lens)
4x5 Intrepid Camera (wooden view camera) + Schneider APO-Symmar 120mm f5.6 lens + Cambo 6x9 roll film back + 120 Fomapan 100 film
(@f5.6 1/4 sec)
I will post a full review on this camera and lens when I get chance + more test examples
Scale model of a 1960's SLR camera with cloth focal-plane shutter, variable and B shutter speeds, instant-return mirror, interlocked wind-on mechanism, focusing "lens" and automatic diaphragm with stop-down preview button. Working shutter speed dial and aperture ring.
No actual optics - demonstrates mechanisms only.
A friend and I went to see a photography exhibit on the work of Vivian Maier yesterday at the Chicago History Museum.
Vivian grew up in France, lived in New York and worked in Chicago beginning in the 1950's as a nanny. She would venture out in her time away from work and capture the world around her. This exhibit focused on her candid street portraits in the 50's and 60's in Chicago. Hence her nickname, the Nanny Photographer, and the ever creative title of this post.
A year before her death in 2009, a locker auction led to the discovery of 100,000 undeveloped negatives. Why take so many pictures and never develop them? Did she intend of develop them later in life and never quite got around to it? Was this a photo diary to document her life? Did it just become a habit?
Did she simply cherish that moment right before the whirring click of the camera when all of her attention was intensely focused on the subject in front of her?
I had read an article prior to arriving at the exhibit that described Vivian as solitary and private. The exhibit then began with four self portraits. I immediately wanted to see more of her. What was she like, what did she think, what did she feel, what moved her? I found myself trying to find the answers to these questions in the black and white, square format candid street captures of an era now gone.
As such is life. In any medium, including simple interaction, people present us with pieces of who they are. We then use our own ideals, thoughts and emotions to fill in the gaps and create a perception of who that person really is. Rare is the person who intrigues us enough to want to know more about them. Rarer, perhaps, is the photographer whose work compels us to not only appreciate the subject matter, but to look through the image and attempt to appreciate who the artist really is.
My good old Xti gave out a few weeks ago (the pictures you have seen lately are ones I had taken with it before it crashed)... thus the new one. So glad to be back into shooting! ;-)
It's a USSR antique camera , a Fed 3 . It's from the year 1963 , though i'm not sure because i could not find a exact year just a general one . Though i don't think i'm going to use it for my photography class ,because i like the Zenit 11 better i think . I got this from my Grandma she was on vacation in Zhamblye for a month or so . She got me it because i asked her to get me a old Film SLR , a antique wolf figurine and some Turkish coffee( i like coffee and i coudn't think of anything else for my Grandma to get me when she asked ) . She could not find anything with wolves though she did get me some antique figurine something with a fish i think , my grandma didn't have enough time to unpack everything yet .I think i'll try out my new camera later with my own film , because the Fed is different from my Zenit . What i kinda surprises me is that i never thought i would have 2 old film SLRs from the USSR :)

Filming and Photo's being taken for the TV show, The Grand Tour (S03 E14 - Funeral for a Ford) in Lincoln England. This light (flash) was being used to photo cars and there owners at Lincolnshire Show Grounds.
Boxy, heavy automated rangefinder. Bottom wind advance, side rewind. Came complete to me with an exposed roll of Kodachrome II film inside. That probably means the camera has not been used since the mid-1960's. None-the-less, everything still works fine.
This camera was placed at the Nightjar nest in the Forest of Dean as part of a long running research project. Over a period of 8 days or so, around 9 hours of footage was captured, revealing many interesting behaviours and a couple of dramas. The video begins before the two eggs hatch, and ends just before all the birds vacate the nest. When they left, they only moved a few metres after some deer trampled the nest area for a second time. I had to keep this video to 3 minutes due to Flickr's restrictions. There's a longer version (17 mins) at youtu.be/KjxS97znBq8.

The camera shy visitor never did show himself, only his antennae. I always enjoy finding hidden extras in my photos.

Baby Rolleiflex with big brother Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar
The baby rolleiflex uses 127 roll film which is hard to get these days, still in working order and takes very good images, this camera originally belong to the late Herbert Hughes, a famous and classic Liverpool photographer who famously was not the first photographer to photograph the Beatles, he did not fancy the job so he let his partner Albert Marion do the sitting instead.....the other daft thing he did was let Brian Epstein borrow the negs....never got them back, can you imagine their value now
not very creative or anything, i just like the school buses in the background and felt like uploading it
random- i really love every single one of my teachers this year. i don't particularly like school (at all) other than my first 3 hours-photography, journalism & spanish 3- but i really love my teachers . just sayin'
thank you SO much for your testimonials! look at their streams!
I was gifted this camera at the weekend, an 80's Praktica, I didn't realise until I got it home that there were another 2 lenses in the bag as well as the camera - generous to the last! Thanks Uncle Bill :-)

the collection as of december '07
not shown: the camera that took the picture - nikon d40
or the digital camera on the macbook or in the cell phone.
brings the tally to something around 56 cameras.
most cameras seen here were thrifted. the majority cost $1 or less.
in cases. and the ones i use are on a shelf.
i don't want to pay for film any more. i don't want to buy $7 batteries to use in cameras that cost $1 a shot.
i know i can get film for all of the cameras [except the polaroid roll film, that's the only one dead. the sx-70 pack can be modified, etc]
if i happen to find polaroid 600 film for a quarter a pack, then hell ya.
in the mean time, i'm goin digital and stockpiling film cameras for fun.

I don't know exactly when it was made, they stopped making them in '81. one of the smallest 35mm ever made. I absolutely wanted to experiment with one. we'll see!
Miranda camera with a fixed waist-level view finder (as on type S) but with a transport lever (as on type D). Lens is a Miranda 2,8/50mm, screw mount, without the name Soligor.
Camera was sold in the Netherlands. Might be a special order by FODOR who imported these cameras.

I don't know how rare these guys are, but they're definitely thin on the ground on this side of the Great Water, and this is the first one I've seen up close. It came from the same friend in England who blessed me with the Purma Special and the Zeiss Baby Box.
The Periflex series are really unique cameras: they are the only cameras that provide SLR focusing with Leica Thread Mount lenses, with correct register for infinity focus. How do they do it? The name is a hint: when you cock the shutter, a little periscope descends into the chamber just in front of the film. Viewed through an eyepiece on the back, this presents a magnified image of a tiny groundglass which you focus on, rather like using the separate-window rangefinder in a screw mount Leica. When the shutter is released, the periscope instantly retracts out of the way before the curtain opens. The world would not see a capability like this again until the introduction of the Micro-4/3 lens mount and interchangeable-lens non-SLR digitals a few years ago.
This Periflex is not quite in order, but you could take pictures with it if you had to. I'm in the process of studying up on how these are built in preparation for fixing up this and its companion Periflex 3. I'll let you know how that goes when I've finished with them (might take a while...)
You can see its insides in action here.
