Fastest 5 days ever.
I had a ton of fun at BrickFair this year, and I'll probably have a BFVA photo in the next few days. I meant to post this photo yesterday, but I kind of forgot.
Anyway, here's what I got at BFVA!

William Mosienko (November 2, 1921 – July 9, 1994) was a Ukrainian Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Chicago Black Hawks.
His most famous moment came on March 23, 1952, in a game against the New York Rangers on the final night of the regular season. He scored three goals in a 21-second span of the third period against New York's Lorne Anderson to set a new record for the fastest hat-trick by one player. The record still stands .
After hockey he opened a few bowling alleys in his home town of Winnipeg . This mural was recently restored .
The Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral was built in the 1950's . It is on Main Street in Winnipeg Canada .

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.
It is the fastest land animal. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb). Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots.
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Females are not territorial; they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but this is disputed by more recent measurements. The average speed of cheetahs is about 64 km/h (40 mph). Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breeding throughout the year. Gestation is nearly three months long, resulting in a litter of typically three to five cubs (the number can vary from one to eight). Weaning occurs at six months; siblings tend to stay together for some time. Cheetah cubs face higher mortality than most other mammals, especially in the Serengeti region. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.
Because of its prowess at hunting, the cheetah was tamed and used to kill game at hunts in the past. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation.

Today I have tried something different, the weather still sucks and I don't like the sky at all, to much white, maybe because is to much UV(I have to get myself a UV filter, and a GND filter, and a tripod, and a wider lens and.....a lot of things I need).Folowing someone's words "on bad weather still can shoot some beautiful photos" thanks Madalina; I've gone out and I did some shots without the sky in the frame. I borrowed a tripod from a friend, my boss from work. I can say I'm proud that my boss is also my friend; and I went to a nice place where the river that cross my town has a faster watercourse. This is the first time I shoot this king of photos, to achieve the water smoothness and the movement effect and I must say that I like this. The colored version I didn't like so much so I edited it in photoshop.
Click it to view on black, looks better.
Nice weekend to everyone!

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae): that is, unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. The word "cheetah" is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning "variegated body."
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of 70-75 mph in short bursts covering distances up to 460m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 68 mph in three seconds, faster than most supercars.
Sadly, cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Recent inbreeding causes cheetahs to share very similar genetic profiles. This has led to poor sperm, birth defects, cramped teeth, curled tails, and bent limbs. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.
Cheetahs are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Red List of threatened species. Some 7,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa and (a few) Asia.
There have been successful breeding programmes, including the use of in vitro fertilisation, in zoos around the world. This individual was seen in the National Zoo in Washington DC.
This is either the fastest bird in the world or I don't know what I am doing. I have been testing settings for bird picture taking at my feeding station. This was taken at 1/1600 s with flash in the manual mode at full power. Frequently, birds flinched like this in the response to the flash. The mystery is that with these settings and in the absence of the pre-flash they should have no chance to respond fast enough to be captured in the photo! Assuming synchronous onset of the flash and opening of the shutter, this bird would have to respond in approximately 0.6 ms! This seems to be physically impossible.
Any ideas what is going on?
Anyway, I like the feather structure in this photo.
Virgin East Coast HST with power car 43302 leading waits to depart Kings Cross with 1D13 the 1203 to Leeds on 15th April 2018. 43302 is the Worlds fastest diesel loco having attained 148.5 mph on the 1st November 1987. As far as i am aware this record still stands today.
Pentacon Six TL
CZJ Sonnar 180mm f2.8
Fuji Pro400H
Rollei Digibase C41
Epson V600 + Betterscanning MF Holder
First roll with my newly acquired Sonnar plus a second P6 body, and also first time shooting Fuji Pro400H.
My measurements indicated that the fastest shutter speeds might be slow on this body, but I shot tests shots on a gray card and it looks like it's pretty accurate even on 1/1000. Nice!
Got *tons* of frame overlap on this roll though. Might have messed up when loading the film, so the jury is still out, but not very promising.
Normally I always try new films at box speed first, but lighting and focal length required pushing to 1600, which the 400H handled really well!
This is the fastest-changing area in the Norris Geyser Basin, in the north-west of Yellowstone National Park. In turn, Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest geothermal areas in the park (up to 138˚C for some steam vents).
The mineral siliceous sinter is brought to the surface by the hot water and forms a "sheet" over this flat area as the water flows across the ground and the mineral settles out in small basins that give the area the Porcelain name. Above are some of the water flows with various microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The colours of the mats depend on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids and on the temperature gradient in the run-off.
Siliceous sinter is also called geyserite. Deposits usually accumulate very slowly, less than 2.5 cm per century, and form the geyser cones and mounds seen in most geyser basins. - From National Park Service webpages.

Well we have all seen Catana Fireclaw of Pink Squadron. She's fast. Maybe the fastest wing in the galaxy. Robi Anco met her on a mission to Planet Flickar.
Rittreck Six 6x6 SLR. 12 frames per 120 roll/24 per 220.
Fitted with 80mm Rittron f/2 lens.
The Rittreck Six was the progenitor of the better known Norita SLR, but was manufactured by Musashino Kōki.
See here for more information about the Rittreck/Norita series. camera-wiki.org/wiki/Rittreck_6×6_and_Norita_66

By all accounts this one is virtually unused. I find this easy to believe, because it's become fairly obvious to me that, at the time of its assembly, Musashino Kōki's quality control left a bit to be desired, unfortunately. So its proud owner's first roll of film through this camera would have been a profound disappointment.
This Rittreck was sent to me to by its owner in order to get it to actually work properly. On arrival, it had any number of faults. Frame spacing was inconsistent, and the shutter curtains were poorly adjusted because there was considerable tapering across the gate at the faster speeds.
The back closure was a little on the loose side (causing other issues with the counter reset and frame spacing), and its Rittron lens would focus beyond infinity by an unacceptable amount (subsequent checks confirmed it had been assembled with the back focus out of spec).
It's an unusual mechanism in as much that it relies on the correct amount of friction in a few places in order to achieve satisfactory frame spacing or indeed, to get the shutter cocking and advance working together at all. I can't help thinking a Rollei type approach to integrating wind release and lock into the counter dial, so that the lever (or knob in the case of a Rolleicord) is either free, or blocked, depending on the counter position, is a much more elegant (and reliable) solution.
The back door closure is a key part of getting the plot to come together correctly. A reset tab inside the top door slot not only resets the counter to "S" but also kicks the film roller into action when you begin advancing to the first frame. If the tab is not firmly depressed by a snug door, or the linkages inside the bottom cover of the body which are driven by the tab's lever are incorrectly adjusted with the wrong play or orientation, the framing may be haphazard or even non-existent (the shutter may not get cocked at all).
At various points of problem solving the mechanism I had the frame advancing without cocking the shutter, and the shutter cocking without winding on the film. It's a Goldilocks mechanism. Has to be just right, in order to function sweetly. Nevertheless I got there eventually and it now produces 12 beautifully even frames on a roll of 120.
The shutter is now exposing the gate consistently even at its 1/500 maximum speed. After first cleaning and lubricating the mechanism, this was achieved by increasing the second curtain tension to reduce the tapering across the gate. The alternative would have been reducing the first curtain tension (or I suppose a combination of both). But the first curtain must activate the timing levers, and as medium and slow speeds were still OK, I judged it better to speed up the second curtain to get them balanced across the gate.
It's not a particularly well understood point—but you do actually need a slight amount of widening of the slit across the gate if the fastest speeds of a focal plane shutter are going to be really good. This is because the curtains are still gathering speed as they travel across the film gate. Because the far end of the gate is thus, exposed for a shorter amount of time, the width of the slit between the curtain ends needs to enlarge fractionally during the run, in order to negate the underexposure that will occur from the curtains accelerating.
I had to estimate the amount of taper needed to achieve consistent exposure by eye using a CRT screen. On receipt it was clearly grossly excessive with the slit tripling in size from side to side, or more. I moderated this to around a 1/3 increase from right side to left side of the gate (as viewed from the rear). A test roll with several 1/500 & 1/250 images featuring lots of clear sky indicates that exposure is very even across an entire negative, so my adjustments were fairly reasonable.
The 80mm Rittron f/2 lens seems reasonably sharp and after the addition of a 0.25mm shim behind the optic module, is now focusing only to infinity at its stop.
Whilst I am in no hurry to work on another it was an interesting job, and a learning exercise. But also a reminder of why I mostly stick with classic German cameras, I seem to relate to those better...

Cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus )...............The fastest land creature on Earth.
Unfortunately the sky was rather overcast & so the light was poor , when I saw my first cheetah in the wild. But I was still delighted to be so close to one. She was walking when we first spotted her , then she sat a short while , got up & strolled gracefully passed by our vehicle .
