A delightful gift from some friends. who brought this with them from the US. The wonderful thing about some of these old film cameras is that many will shoot without a battery, so I blew through a test roll without a battery and it works just fine.
I have decided to participate in a 52 week challenge rather than a 365 this year. A 365 is too much pressure at this time and a 52 week challenge still gets me shooting. If any of you are on facebook and are interested in this one or just want to do it here then why not check it out. 52 week challenge
Kind of glad this shot ends my catch up mode on this years P52. While I did a shot every week I was only able to post with delay.
Unfortunately the shutter of this beauty clocked up and I had to sell it. Even Hasselblad's manufacturer warranty was expired for the model year 1958 ;-) To my big surprise it sold for almost $500 - despite being announce as broken. Guess EBAY was my friend this week.
But this should not end my little 'film experiments' - glad to still have another 500C with some ten years less of age :-)

Always looking to learn something new, today I decided to dabble with macro photography. On my last visit to Hong Kong I bought a cheap macro/wide-angle lens that screws on to the lens of my NEX-6 kit lens. The quality is quite bad though, especially in wide-angle mode - there is a lot of chromatic aberration and blur towards the outside. It is not too bad though in macro photography mode.
I went to the garage to get an old hard drive, put it on the desk, and illuminated it with a strong LED desk light. I used a tripod to stabilize the camera. I moved the hard drive around on the table to center the object of interest in front of the lens.
Macro photography has a very shallow depth of field, so I selected 100 ISO and aperture 10, and manually focused to the desired object. Sony's focus peaking really helps - you see yellow lines wherever the focus is.
I processed two RAW exposures into a balanced HDR photo to enhance the micro-contrast. I applied just little HDR compression because too much would make the bokeh look unnatural. After that I applied strong vignetting to draw the eyes to the center. I like the result, with the bokeh looking like colorful diamonds.

Available light Foto meiner letzten Errungenschaft - aber auch meines vorerst letzten Kaufes - mit ISO 3200 und der Fujifilm X-T10 mit 53mm KB und Offenblende f1,4 quasi im Dunklen geschossen! Zum Warten auf Tageslicht ist der neuwertige Ziegelstein mit Wechsellinse (eine M3 für Arme?) einfach zu schön ;-)
Available light photo of my last bargain - but also my last purchase at the moment - the capture is taken with ISO 3200 and the Fujifilm X-T10 with 53mm KB and aperture f1,4 and shot almost in the dark! The brick in Mint condition with changing lenses is to nice to wait for daylight with taking a photo ;-)

Christian, Abby, and I traveled to Chicago on Friday to see Shrek the Musical! It was awesometastic-ness. I was gone the whole day, got back at 12:30, so I couldn't manage much for a 365, hahaha.
TOW 4 "Bokeh" #1
As my topic of week 4 i choose something i very much like to shoot, this is bokeh. For this shot i put my 7dII on a tripod, chose manual focus and liveview and shot this setting with my 5dIII@f/ 2.8. f/2.8 was necessary to get the lights in the background blurred. Additionally i used a flash to illuminate the back of the 7dii, and i needed three attempts to get the correct balance between ambiance light (the bokeh in the background) and the camera.
The END is near :)
The end of 2010 is near.
Time to balance:
I have to thank all of you for your visits, your comments, your faves and your invitations: THANK YOU !!!
I wish you a wonderful 2011, a lot of joy, peace, love, creativity and health.
May God bless you !

Every television in the house was a Zenith, and all of them were at least three decades old. Most probably still work, too.
I've been such a good boy this year that I have bought myself an early Christmas present hehehehehehe :-)
