I bougth a Rodenstock Depth of field calculator for my work with the graflex cams. I found out that this slide rule is also suitable for the Mamiya, since it also has a bellows focuser. Familiarizing yourself with this device was a bit cumbersome - but in the end I understood how it works. So here is the first photo, with an exactly set depth of field... somehow realy cool! :))

"In the unlikely event of a water landing, your throat pouch can be used as a flotation device".
I always wondered how much the inflated throat pouch got in the way when these birds come down for a drink.
Thanks for visiting!

Got close and personal to a very vintage movie projector. It was the first time I've ever seen one of these devices and I loved the look of it! It would be cool to have one of these on display and even luckier if I used it for its purpose. It's a purchase I'll definitely revisit in the future.
Have a great day! :)
The islets are made of multiple natural layers harvested in Lake Titicaca: The base is made of large pallets of floating Totora roots, which are tied together with ropes and covered in multiple layers of totora reeds. These dense roots that the plants develop and interweave form a natural layer called Khili (about one to two meters thick), which are the main flotation and stability devices of the islands. They are anchored with ropes attached to large Eucalyptus poles driven into the bottom of the lake.

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too
vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)
The internet connection was much sloooooower than in Jakarta there! I brought some mobile devices but didn't connect good there.
Northern Wheatear - Oenanthe oenanthe
The northern wheatear or wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It is the most widespread member of the wheatear genus Oenanthe in Europe and Asia.
The northern wheatear is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in open stony country in Europe and Asia with footholds in northeastern Canada and Greenland as well as in northwestern Canada and Alaska. It nests in rock crevices and rabbit burrows. All birds spend most of their winter in Africa.
The northern wheatear makes one of the longest journeys of any small bird, crossing ocean, ice, and desert. It migrates from Sub-Saharan Africa in spring over a vast area of the Northern Hemisphere that includes northern and central Asia, Europe, Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Canada. In autumn all return to Africa, where their ancestors had wintered. Arguably, some of the birds that breed in north Asia could take a shorter route and winter in south Asia; however, their inherited inclination to migrate takes them back to Africa.
Birds of the large, bright Greenland race, leucorhoa, makes one of the longest transoceanic crossings of any passerine. In spring most migrate along a route (commonly used by waders and waterfowl) from Africa via continental Europe, the British Isles, and Iceland to Greenland. However, autumn sightings from ships suggest that some birds cross the North Atlantic directly from Canada and Greenland to southwest Europe, a distance of up to 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi). Birds breeding in eastern Canada are thought to fly from Baffin Island and Newfoundland via Greenland, Ireland, and Portugal to the Azores, crossing 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) of the North Atlantic) before flying onwards to Africa. Other populations from western Canada and Alaska migrate by flying over much of Eurasia to Africa.
Miniature tracking devices have recently shown that the northern wheatear has one of the longest migratory flights known - 30,000 km (18,640 miles), from sub-Saharan Africa to their Arctic breeding grounds.
i made this photograph on beautiful day in june 2016 while visiting a dear friend in mantova. her father is un maestro orologiaio, and this clockwork is one of his charges. i thought about this photo this morning, probably because the maestro has recently celebrated a birthday. buona giornata alla famiglia gorla.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is nutcracker. So as you can see, my picture do not represent some kind of torture device but just our old nutcracker (so maybe, in the end, it is a torture device for nuts !). You just have to put your nut in the middle and squeeze as hard as you can, and then the magic happens: you will end up with a delicious ready to eat nut. I wish you all an amazing day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
I will try to catch up on answering all your awesome comments as soon as possible !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts.

Pareidolia is the theme for Macro Mondays Sept. 16th.
Orchhâ (Inde) - L’Inde est connu pour ses lumières fabuleuses qui donnent souvent des scènes merveilleusement colorées. Mais pour en bénéficier, il faut être très matinal ou attendre les derniers rayons de soleil pour capter ces ambiances « chaudes ». Du temps de l’argentique en dehors de ces heures extrêmes, je ne faisais plus de photos. Eventuellement, je m’autorisais quelques films en noir et blanc.
Avec l’avènement de la photo numérique, ces limites techniques - même pour le merveilleux Kodachrome 64 -, ont été repoussées. Les capteurs progressent d’année en année et gagnent en dynamique. Ce qui était impossible pour la diapositive, devient envisageable avec les appareils modernes.
La preuve par l’image. La photo ci-dessus n’aurait pas eu le même rendu avec une diapositive car l’homme était dans la lumière. La logique aurait voulu que le fond soit noir, sans le moindre détail, puisque j’ai mesuré la lumière sur l’homme. Le capteur et la mesure matricielle ont fait une remarquable analyse de la scène en restituant une masse d’informations qu’un film argentique n’aurait pu faire.
The art of striking a pose
Orchhâ (India) - India is known for its fabulous lights which often result in wonderfully colorful scenes. But to benefit from it, you have to be very early in the morning or wait for the last rays of sun to capture these "warm" atmospheres. From the time of the film outside these extreme hours, I no longer took pictures. Eventually, I allowed myself a few black and white films.
With the advent of digital photography, these technical limits encountered - even by the wonderful Kodachrome 64 - have been pushed back. The sensors are improving year by year and gaining momentum. What was impossible on the slide, becomes possible with modern devices.
The proof by the image. The photo above wouldn't have looked the same on a slide because the man was in the light. Logic would have wanted the background to be black, without the slightest detail, since I measured the light on the man. The sensor and the matrix metering made a remarkable analysis of the scene, restoring a mass of information that a silver film could not have done.

Drumhead tensioning device on a conga drum.
Image is two inches square.
The conga, also known as tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are staved like barrels and classified into three types: quinto (lead drum, highest), tres dos or tres golpes (middle), and tumba or salidor (lowest). Congas were originally used in Afro-Cuban music genres such as conga (hence their name) and rumba, in which each drummer would play a single drum. Following numerous innovations in conga drumming and construction during the mid-20th century, as well as its internationalization, it became increasingly common for drummers to play two or three drums.

Met up with Chris for a morning shoot up at Point Halloran just south of Brisbane.
After yesterdays stormy weather with hail and thunder, there was not a cloud to be seen in the sky this morning! We had low tide at sunrise, so plenty of stranded boats. A most enjoyable morning, thanks Chris. :-)

IED, improvised explosive device , are modern soldiers worst nightmare.
By the end of 2007 they have been responsible for at least 64% of Coalition deaths in Iraq.
Here is a picture of us special forces targeted by an ied during a night mission in the afghan's desert (yeah it's not in the snow). I keep exploring in the live explosions area, made with bengal fire. You stick several together, and you should get a big blow.
A big thanks to Tiny Tactical and their amazing gear to make this one possible. www.tinytactical.com
Be sure I will do some more modern military pictures !
Dans mon précédent cliché, je vous parlais des améliorations technologiques du matériel photo et la nécessité ou non de rester brancher sur le dernier cri d’appareil photo …
Le cliché posté aujourd’hui, a été réalisé en 2008 avec un reflex Nikon D80 de 10,2 MP et un objectif AF Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8 … la qualité du cliché est bien au rendez-vous et l’appareil fonctionne toujours aussi bien qu’à ses débuts !
Pensez-vous qu’on aurait pu obtenir une nette amélioration avec un appareil tout récent ?
Pour votre info ce Nikon D80 vaut maintenant en occasion une centaine d’euros sans l’objectif évidemment !

In my previous photo, I talked to you about technological improvements in photo equipment and the need or not to stay connected to the latest camera...
The photo posted today was taken in 2008 with a Nikon D80 10.2 MP SLR and an AF Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8 lens... the quality of the photo is there and the camera still works as well although in its early stages !
Do you think we could have obtained a clear improvement with a very recent device ?
For your information, this Nikon D80 is now worth around a hundred euros used without the lens of course !
