An Ilford HP5+ exposed for 800 ISO film with my Zorki 1 type D (year 1955), Lyon, France, February 5, 2023.

 

The Zorki camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film, with its leader trimmed for old Leica's. During operations the Industar-22 lens was equipped with a 36mm push-on 1A filter and a generic metal cylindric shade hood.

 

Expositions were determined for 800 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

 

Typically the shutter exposure time was 1/200s with diaphragm of F/5.6 to f/11 for a quite cloudy weather.

About the camera and the lens:

 

This camera is a practically mint sample of Zorki 1 arrived to me in Lyon, France, January 10, 2023.

 

The camera looked exiting from the KMZ factory in USSR almost 70 years later spent in a time capsule ... with almost no traces of use. According to a custom receipt of July 28, 1955, signed in Vienna, Austria, the camera body and lens are the original matched ones. As for the original FED, FED-Zorki and Zorki's ("ФЭД", "ФЭД-Зоркий", „Зоркий“), the Zorki 1 was a straight legal copy of the Oskar Barnack Leica II after the cancelation of German camera patents following the end of WWII.

 

This Zorki 1 is a type D model PM1115 (year 1955 according sovietcams.com/index7584.html). Type D Zorki's were produced from 1953 to 1955 in about 250.000 units with serial numbers ranging from #470.000 to (in 1955) #55 45.000. The original lens of this Zorki units is an collapsible lens Industar-22 1:3.5 f=5cm.

 

In the rear pocket of the ever-ready leather bag was still deposited the Austrian custom receipt from 1955 and a film label of Agfa negative-color CN17 likely from the 60's.

About the camera :

 

The Foca Universel "R" is the late series (circa 1956-1962) of the Foca Universel 35mm range-finder camera appeared in 1950 and produced until 1956. The Universel model of FOCa was fitted with a bayonet mount instead of the 36mm screw mount of other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1947. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This exemplary of Foca Universel R was likely manufactured in 1959 or 1960.

 

The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount.

Quite the scene here. Still have a good amount to upload from my expedition to London in July, but it's encouraging I'm ploughing through the backlog.

 

So this Sherpa has been sat for a very long time, evident by how it's integrated itself into the landscape of this property. The type of scene you only encounter in a blue moon.

This image of Expedition 56/57 crewmembers ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor might pose a question or two. The short answer: the two astronauts are training at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA ahead of their launch to the International Space Station. Read on for the long answer.

 

Along with cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev, Alexander and Serena will be launched to the Space Station in June aboard a Soyuz spacecraft.

 

Alexander will spend some six months aboard for his Horizons mission, named for its goal of broadening our knowledge of Earth, low-Earth orbit and beyond.

 

Alexander has an exciting (and packed) schedule of science for Horizons. Over 50 European experiments are planned, targeting areas such as human ageing and medicine, climate, digitalisation and fundamental research.

 

Alexander will continue running experiments such as the airway inflammation study Airway Monitoring and the new time perception study aptly called Time.

 

In addition to furthering our understanding of life in space, these experiments will have beneficial returns for life on Earth.

 

Alexander will spend the second half of his mission as commander of the Space Station, the second European astronaut to hold this leadership role.

 

Tune in to Alexander’s final press conference on Tuesday, 17 April at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne for more on Horizons. The media day promises lightning talks on the planned science as well as a conversation with Alexander on exploration and his role as Station commander. More details and livestream link are available here.

 

As for the long answer: in addition to being pilots, scientists and technicians, astronauts must also be custodians of the Space Station. There’s no plumber available in orbit, so if the toilet breaks down, they must be able to fix it. Here, Alexander and Serena are learning to do just that. For the curious, the yellow cone is the urine collector and the grey switch turns on the suction.

A lack of transport options makes it difficult for underserved communities or lower-income households to take advantage of economic opportunities. Limited availability of transport can play a role, as can the lack of affordability, safety, performance or digitalisation.

Exasperated by the indifferent results I'd always had from the commercial processing available through high street chemists, I began sending my films off to a chap who advertised "quality photographic processing" in the back pages of Buses. I suppose you have to understand the predicament of the commercial labs. They had to provide an automated, high turnover, all-things-to-all-people service. It wasn't until I came to do my own processing a couple of years ago that I understood that particular films need particular times and dilutions according to the developer in which they are, well, developed. The labs couldn't possibly give that sort of attention to your auntie's Instamatic snaps from Fuengirola. This is from the first film I sent off to the Buses chap. There was an immediate improvement in the quality of the prints, although subsequent scanning and digitalisation from negatives has had a "levelling" effect. Off they went for the next four years, to an address in Baildon, and back they came, often in boxes which had contained Kodak bromide paper (8.9X14cm), which I still use for storing the prints. He must have made thousands from me.

The bus seen here, at Taunton on Thursday 19th February 1976, was one of the ex- Bristol Omnibus Co. FSF Lodekkas passed to the neighbouring Western National company in the late 60s. This one, originally no. 6033 in the Bristol fleet had entered service on 1st March 1961 and been allocated to Swindon, where it had remained until withdrawal on 30th June 1967. It passed to Western National in August of that year.

I think that would have been Raleigh's counterfeit of the Moulton bicycle.

Expositions were determined for 800 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

 

Typically the shutter exposure time was 1/200s with diaphragm of F/5.6 to f/11 for a quite cloudy weather.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 8 min according to development data for pushing the HP5+ film to 800 ISO. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.

 

All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.

 

About the camera and the lens:

 

This camera is a practically mint sample of Zorki 1 arrived to me in Lyon, France, January 10, 2023.

 

The camera looked exiting from the KMZ factory in USSR almost 70 years later spent in a time capsule ... with almost no traces of use. According to a custom receipt of July 28, 1955, signed in Vienna, Austria, the camera body and lens are the original matched ones. As for the original FED, FED-Zorki and Zorki's ("ФЭД", "ФЭД-Зоркий", „Зоркий“), the Zorki 1 was a straight legal copy of the Oskar Barnack Leica II after the cancelation of German camera patents following the end of WWII.

 

This Zorki 1 is a type D model PM1115 (year 1955 according sovietcams.com/index7584.html). Type D Zorki's were produced from 1953 to 1955 in about 250.000 units with serial numbers ranging from #470.000 to (in 1955) #55 45.000. The original lens of this Zorki units is an collapsible lens Industar-22 1:3.5 f=5cm.

 

In the rear pocket of the ever-ready leather bag was still deposited the Austrian custom receipt from 1955 and a film label of Agfa negative-color CN17 likely from the 60's.

SMEs today face a number of fundamental challenges to their growth and competitiveness, particularly as they seek to modernise their capabilities. With greater global connectivity and heightened consumer scrutiny, digitalisation of businesses is no longer an option but a necessity. In the Western Balkans and across the globe, SMEs are exploring how to integrate digital technology into their business models in order to open new markets, improve market intelligence and deliver higher value to customers.

 

From Industry 4.0 to e-commerce for SMEs, this panel navigated the various facets of digitalisation and what digital transformation means for small businesses, evaluating the intersection of digitalisation with succession planning, financial literary as well as other key sources relevant for future SME growth.

Malawi is a small country in southern Africa with a population of 14 million people who mainly rely on agriculture as a means of subsistence. In 2017, drought in the country affected more than half the population. EU humanitarian support enables Malawian communities to build resilience against natural disasters such as floods and drought.

 

This EU-funded project uses drones to create maps. The maps help to locate resources such as hospitals, schools, and roads which are all vital in providing safe shelter for the population in case of a disaster. When any population is trained and aware of disaster risks and safe spaces, lives are saved.

Society and the economy are under constant pressure to change due to the technological transformation and the progressing digitalisation. As a result of the rapid development, legal framework conditions have become obsolete, values such as trust are undermined and public and private sphere must be redefined.

Chronic under-investment in the water sector, climate impacts and changing populations. All common challenges across EBRD’s regions of operations, but even more so in the SEMED region where acute water scarcity magnifies the need for a sustainable approach to water management. The private sector plays its part in building seawater desalination plants, but these need renewable energy solutions and environmentally sensitive designs to ensure they do no additional harm. An integrated approach also requires attention on reducing water losses from ageing infrastructure and reusing water that is, otherwise, wasted to better safeguard existing water resources. The entire water cycle should be re-examined, including wastewater treatment and its by-products, to promote a more circular economy. Digitalisation and innovation must also feature in future water systems to deliver greater system reliability.

 

This session combined local and international speakers from the public and private sectors that provided insights into the challenges and potential solutions to address this critical issue of water scarcity.

What are the CO2 emissions of a Google search? In response to this popular question a researcher at the Oeko-Institut set out to calculate how digitalisation affects the climate – or at least illustrate the scale of the issue. The problem is that some of the figures are fraught with uncertainty – partly because they are changing rapidly as a result of technological progress and changing consumer habits and because they depend heavily on structural conditions (such as how the electricity is generated). Nevertheless, the researcher used some number games and “rule of three” calculations to demonstrate the scale of the problem. The figures were generously rounded to avoid pretending to a degree of accuracy that unfortunately does not exist.

 

To give a general idea: through energy use, transport and consumption, someone living in Germany generates around 12 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions (CO2e) per year. A climate-friendly level would be two tonnes for every person on Earth.
