For Macro Mondays #love theme
Represents that intense, all-encompassing love we feel for our children. (Most of the time!)
The image shows my youngest son's wrist identification band from when he was born in hospital. It's been hanging around the kitchen for ** years for some reason; I've never worked out why I haven't put it away safely. His birthday was two days ago, and meant that the year he was born we both ended up coming out of hospital on Valentine's day; the best valentine's present ever...! :-)
Image is less than 2.5" across, the wooden heart is around 1/3rd of inch.

After my venture into analog photography with the Praktica camera, I picked up a Minolta Dynax 700si for next to nothing. Using APX 100 / Fomapan film, I managed to capture some pleasant shots. The image is completely unedited.

Upon the hushèd moor in morning’s grace,
Doth wander flock in soft and solemn line,
Their breath a mist, their step a lover’s pace,
As if they know the hour, yet shun the sign.
No shepherd calls, yet still they do obey
The silent pull of earth, of time, of day.

Do not do this if your rangefinder camera has a cloth shutter, or you will quickly burn a hole through it.
Not a good day to be zipping around the Swiss Alps in a light plane. Aegerisee, looking south towards Mortgarten and the pass into Kanton Schwyz.

I'm finding the AE-1 to be a very delightful little SLR, lightweight, with a good viewfinder, and does a very nice job with auto-exposure. The 50/1.4 is a great lens, too! Now if only it had aperture priority!

Day Four of RoidWeek 2023. My last shot of Polaroid Reclaimed Blue 600 on the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar. A budding tree against a blue sky ( with faint clouds).
I took my Zeis Ikon Nettar 515/2 6x9 folding camera out to shoot a roll of Fomapan 200. The camera is around 80 years old, has no light meter and uses the distance focusing method. It captures 6x9cm negatives which are huge compared to 35mm film but not as big as a large format camera but still plenty big enough for me :)

A case where development went horribly wrong but for a few frames that turned out ok. I never was able to make Digibase work for me. Oh well, at least I got one or two cool shots.

Zoom in for detail.
Aegerisee, Kanton Zug, Switzerland, with a look to the south towards Kanton Schwyz and the Urner Alps. Morgarten is hard left (not visible) along the lake. The big peak center left is the Fronalpstock. A chair lift operates to the peak year-round.
The Aegerisee empties out towards Zug, which is 90 degrees to the hard right in this photo (not visible). Aegerisee water ends up in the Rhine River via the Lorze, Lake Zug, the Reuss, then the Aare, eventually feeding into the North Sea.
First time I tried out the Retina's 80mm accessory lens. Seems to have worked out OK, although the edges and corners are really soft. Still, not too bad for a 65 year old lens.

See previous photo for the camera that took this. Image size: 13.8 x 8.3cm (5 1/2 x 3 1/4") squarely large-format territory.
Aegerital, Zug, Switzerland as of today - a bit cold and dreary, not great visibility and not the best day for a test shot but hey....

Simple inversion in PS.
The expired Ilfospeed 1.1M was a real surprise. Grade 1 paper seems pretty ideal for this type of shot, as I didn't have to monkey around in PS with gamma, contrast etc. Pity, I only have one box of this left and it's out of production.
Another (huge) advantage of using print paper: You can cut it to size and load it with a red safe light.
To be honest, I am quite surprised this shot got Explored. Was only a test shot .... On the other hand, it's not every day that an ancient camera sees light after a 100+ year hiatus!
For Day Three of RoidWeek 2023, I’m continuing my experiment using Reclaimed Blue 600 on the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar. Today’s first photo is a movie marquee in Westwood, New Jersey.

Not the usual kind of shot that I do, but I couldn't resist such an obvious light trap. Portra at its finest - looking more like Ektar or even Velvia.

I've been wanting to get hold of a Nikon F3 SLR camera for some time now. It was first released in 1980 and was still being manufactured up until 2001. An extraordinary production run, and a sign of its popularity. It was regarded as the professionals' SLR, and the perfect successor to Nikon's F and F2 series.
Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha (日本光学工業株式会社 "Japan Optical Industries Co., Ltd.") was founded in 1917 making microscopes and optical instruments. After World War 2 it began making copies of Leica rangefinders. However with the development of the first commercially successful SLR, the Nikon F in 1959, the company really started to taste success in the camera world.
Previously I have described how the great pioneering Tasmanian nature photographer, Olegas Truchanas started using a Nikon F. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/54189850260/in/album-72...
With the launch of the F3 Nikon moved into the world of electronic systems. In this case the battery powered a light meter and the electronically controlled Titanium shutter curtain allowed aperture priority for the first time. Still no autofocus though (this was being developed by Minolta). A feature of the F series cameras is that the prism can be removed and it can be shot as a waist level viewfinder. Nikon employed an Italian designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, and for the first time the red stripe appeared on Nikon cameras.
The wonderful thing about this camera is that it allows use of a wide range of Nikkor AI and AI-s lenses. In my case I have paired this camera with a Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 AI-s. I bought the camera body from the Melbourne Camera Exchange, and then drove to Preston to Andy Chen's fantastic Times Camera to buy the lens. Andy's knowledge of cameras and lenses is outstanding and I have bought a couple of vintage Nikkor lenses from him in the past.
Over the next week I'll show you some of my photographs taken with the F3 and using Aero 100 35mm colour film.
