Another look at the river above Burgess falls proper. Black and white seemed the way to go with this scene with less contrasty light than the first time I was here.
In the golden age of steam and ocean travel, gentlemen who went travelling always took a small Nécessaire de Voyage and ladies a Travel de Nécessaire (small travelling case) with them. Unlike other valises, portmanteaus or trunks which would be stored in ship’s holds or the baggage cars of trains, these small cases would travel with their owners and as the names suggest, contained the essential items for a gentleman or lady to repair their toilette whilst en route.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “beauty” was chosen by Andrew ()
These Travel de Nécessaires are part of a collection and are all early Twentieth Century examples. It seemed an appropriate entry for this months FFF theme considering they were considered essential for beauty whilst travelling.

Made in Berlin by an unknown manufacturer. The set comes in a salmon coloured dyed leather travelling case with chocolate brown inlay in a Bauhaus design. It is in the shape of a handbag and the whole interior sits within a chromium plated tray with handles which enables a quick removal so that the case may be used as a handbag. It has a cream satin lining and an affixed bevelled mirror. (Circa 1928).

ODC, Feb 14, 2022, GADGET(S). Essential gadgets I've accumulated to assist with film photography. Shutter release cable, loupe, trusty Gossen LunaPro light meter, film cutter, and a film scanning backlight.
It's been a while since I've shot on digital, cool thing about the Monochrom is that the experience is a lot like the M7 so no huge adjustment.

SVP commentez ou lisez mon profil (en francais aussi!).
just playing with overexposure in a moment of no-ideas with my small camera. I´m quite happy with the result cause in fact the object was very mundane and boring.

Just spent a pleasant couple of hours making two 10x8 macros with flowers from the garden.
This is the gear I used to to make them.
Chamonix 810V 10x8" view camera, with standard Chamonix film holder
Arca Swiss Cube GP geared tripod head
Gitzo 3540LS tripod fitted with Gitzo levelling base
Rodenstock Apo-Sironar S 240mm f/5.6
Sekonic 758D spot meter
(Other items missing: notebook, BTZS dark cloth, Silvestri 4x loupe).
Some notes on choice of gear here, esp. for macros.
Fast and excellent lens with relatively short (for 10x8) focal-length: needed for wide-open portrait-style macros; short focal length = relatively manageable bellows extension and working distance for setup.
Why a levelling base with the Arca Cube when it's got geared pan on top and pan on the bottom? Because if you level the base when setting up, this means that if you want to pan you can do so without totally messing up the composition.
Geared head is necessary for stable and accurate composition when the whole camera is tilted downwards - for these shots the camera was tilted down 65º from horizontal.

Everybody stocks up on Milk, Eggs, and Bread when a snow is in the forecast. Even those people who don't normal eat these things run to the store an buy all they can get their hands on. I guess there will be alot of people sitting around making french toast. The real essentials of being snowed in(as we are) are flowers, a good bottle of wine and a movie. Hope you all enjoy your toast!
