Dawson City on Christmas Day 1976 (with texture) - 35mm Compact Film - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia where he works also as a writer and a personal trainer.
Probably one of my favourite shots from the foray to Nunney. Again the N-grads came into play. Best NOT viewed large. The distortion caused buy the 10-20mm lens spoiled the foreground a little with soft focus, but the overall composition and colour combine in a shot that I have been longing to take for a long while. Without the wide angle lens this one would be almost impossible as the castle is tightly contained and the unexpected but glorious sunshine was really well timed.
An excellent property just ripe for conversion into a fancy modern home one feels – if it weren’t for the whacking great Cromwellian cavity in the other side of the building!
We had to rotate the head and run the ram all the way back, to make a more compact, easier to handle package.
The 2x6's below are to give the machine a larger foot print for the rollers, which are 1 1/2" pipe.
Once the machine is on rollers it is moved with my collection of pry bars, which range from a 6 foot machine bar down to little 12" hand bars.
The back of the trailer is held up by house bottle jacks on the ground so the trailer doesn't squat as we load the machine.
Later the machine is pulled onto a flat bed trailer with come-alongs, and finally held in place by putting nails through the 2x6's into the floor of the trailer. Nails are not driven all the way down so they are easily pulled later.
The machine is also lashed off in all four directions with ratchet straps.
On a 1 day notice, we had 2 days to get it out.
1st day we put the mill on the 2x6's and moved it to the garage door: 6 hrs. The 2nd day loaded the machine onto trailer, 4 hrs. , We then moved it about 50 miles, 2 hrs. Unloaded I machine, about 2 hrs.
The machine weighed 2,100 LBS.
This tiny compact was a gift for my wedding from a dear friend, it's engraved and precious to me, so glad I have it captured in photo.
I live on the edge of town near a large canal. There is a small, secluded park-like area there, where people walk their dogs and such. It has been colonized by masses of rabbits. Very hard to photograph too. This is the best shot from a series taken with my small zoom compact.
I currently own and use the following digital compact mirrorless cameras:
The Canon G5 (back left) is the oldest digital camera that I still use. I would like to retire it but it has one useful feature that none of my other camera have -- a built-in intervalometer.
The Canon G11 (back center) has a reticulated LCD screen that I find useful when I am shooting still life or close-up subjects with the camera mounted on a tripod or a copy stand.
The Canon G15 (back right) is the one I take when I need to travel with a light photographic load. The f/1.8 to 2.8 28mm to 140mm fixed zoom lens covers 80% of the subjects I need to shoot. If it had a reticulated LCD, it would be close to perfect for me.
The Olympus E-p3 (middle left) and the Olympus E-p1 (middle right) were my handheld available light cameras until I replaced them with the X-Pro1. I am now using them as dedicated black & white cameras.
The Fuji X-Pro1 (foreground) is my current handheld available light camera.
All six cameras have the following important features that I need:
1. Quiet operation -- especially when shooting theater or in audio recording studios
2. Excellent image quality (jpeg and RAW)
3. Size, weight, and style of a Leica rangefinder
4. A simple user interface that relies more on dials rather than menus
5. Video
Some of the important features that I need but none of the six cameras have are:
1. Fast and accurate manual focus control
2. Input jack that accepts a microphone for video audio track
3. Accessory battery pack for extended shooting sessions
Some of the important features that I need that some have and some do not include:
1. Built to withstand daily usage -- my G5, E-p1, and E-p3 break too often and too easily
2. High quality, fast, interchangeable lenses -- the Canon lenses are not interchangeable
3. LCD screen that swings, tilts, and rotates -- only on the Canon G5 and G11
4. Hot shoe and PC flash connections for external flash units -- all have hot shoes but only the X-Pro1 has both
Any hallway in a train is usually quite narrow and small to begin with, but the corridor in Moonlight Dome added the height constraints imposed by the dome above, resulting in quite a tight space.
Bamboo Pinhole Camera- “Le Bambole Mk. II - the Compact”
6x8 or 6x6 medium-format.
28mm focal length.
Pinhole aperture approx. f/256, 0.15 mm diameter.
Hand-made pinhole camera made from a bamboo candy dish, various pieces of basswood, coffee bag-clips, brass shim, and an assortment of clamping caps, washers, nuts, bolts, neosporin, etc.
Being an insomniac has it's hazards. A while back late one night, I was mesmerized by a TV info-mercial on the Fein MultiMaster all-in-one tool and just had to get one! The magnificent pinhole cameras I could build if I had me one of these miraculous tools - I thought!
A week later and 400 bucks poorer, I lopped off a section of a bamboo candy dish with my recently acquired MultiMaster and created a compact 6x8 pinhole camera.
The camera turned out fairly well and I still have all my digits, so it is a success in my book. A test roll is in the works and results will be posted on my photostream shortly.

Revue 35 Compact de Luxe, a scarce sister of the Revue 35 Compact Electronic, which is itself also a scarce camera.
As far I found out, the difference is in the viewfinder: Both feature a needle of the exposure meter, but the Electronic only indicates over- or underexposure, the de Luxe displays shutter speeds (1000-250-30), similar to a Minox 35.
The Revue 35s are nearly identical to the Vivitar 35 EM. The Vivitar also displays the shutter speeds and its opening for the lens barrel is round, not square.
The producer of this camera is still a mystery, it reminds me of the Revue 400SE/Vivitar 35ES pair.
The logo on this camera, the atomic model, looks like the early Yashica logo, but it is not the same.
The camera itself is really cute. With the lever at the bottom you can retract the lens and the shutter button, the lens is protected by a sliding cover then. It has aperture priority AE, the focus has to be set manually. There is a small button above the viewer, which obviously has the same function like the half pressed shutter button: the meter is switched on and the needle in the viewer indicates the expected shutter speed, furthermore a red light becomes visible on top, I assume it is a battery check (two 1.5 V SR44 are required).
The film speed dial around the rewind crank is devided in half-steps (!) from 25 to 400+1/2, perhaps 560 ASA.
Most parts of the housing are made of thin plastic. There are small cracks around some screws and the window of the viewer is broken too.
Update after one roll of film: Yes, really a fine camera. Sometimes I had mixed up the feet and the meter scale, but that didn't matter ...
Taking the lily pictures reminded me of a few took a little while ago using the LX2.
I like lots of the flower work that Mirthe Duindam does:

These mimic that work a little.

After digging for 40 minutes I found the trash. After literally removing an entire dumpster of trash.
Story: After I put up the video of my retouching on the Jonnie Walker shot I got a meeting with a company that makes cosmetics. Since I didn't really have any cosmetics in my book I spent some quality time shooting specifically for that meeting. This was actually the shot that I started with. I knew I wanted a shot of a compact and this was basically the most difficult compact to shoot I could find. The entire thing is mirrored.
Lighting: The compact is sitting on a white seamless and there are two lights. There is a bare dynalite 2040 head from camera left providing the hard shadow. Then there is another bare head from camera right pointed to the seamless and that is what is providing the light fall off for the top. If the seamless is one color then the chrome doesn't look chrome so you have to get some light fall off. In addition to the two lights there is also a reflector right in front and a reflector overhead. The camera is just able to get between the two reflectors which is why the compact is small on the sensor in the before shot. I really needed that bit of light on the edge around the actual makeup.
