This bare tree, shining in the sunlight, (it was actually much brighter out than it looks in the picture), reminded me of the one in the final Lord Of The Rings movie, "The Return Of The King."
This was another camera in my collection that I didn’t think I would ever be able to use. Kodak stopped making film for it in the mid-1980s, and the special “J” battery they used is also no longer made. But I did have an old, empty cartridge that I loaded with some 120 film and managed to get it to take a picture. Without the battery, the shutter only had one speed and it was much too fast for the 400 speed film I used. The original film had an ASA rating of 150, so 400 should have been plenty enough speed, but it wasn’t. The camera really needs the battery so that it can set the right shutter speed. One thing I haven’t tried is to push some 400 speed film to 800 or 1600 and see if that works better. The negative for this image came out almost blank, it was so faint. By having to darken it up so much, it came out much too grainy. It looks like a picture from the 1800s! But I did get the camera to produce an actual image.

I got this look by dropping the print in hot water, the same as you would do for an emulsion lift, then as the emulsion layer barely started to bubble, i pulled it out the print and rubbed away the wet layer.
During the shut-down, Daisy has become my only model, and a rather reluctant one at that, unless---of course--- a treat is involved. Then she's somewhat cooperative. Still, when I point a camera at her she'll look every which way but at me, unless I say "cookie" and even then she's stubborn.

Interior detail from the old kitchen at Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, UK.
Calke Abbey is not an abbey by the way, it is a “stately home”. It was given over to the National Trust in 1985 on the condition that it was preserved in it’s then current stated of dilapidation and not restored.

Thought Halloween would be the perfect time to get a few pictures. I was Marshall Lee the Vampire King this year haha.
Big as Pentax 67, but made out of plastic with a playful and unusual design. Of course, this is an instant camera, in a world of digital, interesting move from Fuji.
It seems this camera is highly sought after because it is AF and you can choose flash settings, etc, etc. I had no idea that I had bought such a classic. The 90 mm lens is huge, but it is just a triplet, producing pictures of 6x9, or so. Don't even dream to compare the quality with a film 6x9 camera, negative still rules.
I will buy some film just to see how it works, never had a an instant camera before, it will be a premiere for me!

This is the "Kodamatic 940". It is an instant camera which was introduced by Kodak in 1983, and would have originally used Kodak's ill-fated instant film format. A year after its initial release the Kodamatic 940 was re-released as the "Trimprint 940" in 1984. The 940 would have originally retailed for about $45.00 USD.
Like all Kodak instant cameras, the 940 was withdrawn from the market in 1985-86. This was the result of Kodak losing a legal battle with Polaroid over patent infringement in September of 1985.
The 940 features an all-plastic body, fixed focus lens, automatic exposure, and a built-in electronic flash. An interesting thing to note about the 940 is that it uses 4 AA batteries, while earlier Kodak instant cameras such as the EK and Colorburst series used J-pack batteries.
Note that the nameplate on the front of the camera is still intact. Many Kodak instant cameras had their nameplates removed as part of Kodak's customer reimbursement program after losing the legal battle with Polaroid. One of the things owners of Kodak instant cameras were required to do in order to quality for the rebate was to remove the camera's nameplate and mail it in to Kodak as proof they had purchased a Kodak instant camera (either Kodamatic, Colorburst, Handle, Trimprint or EK series). As a result it is not uncommon for find Kodak instant camera with missing nameplates, although these are less collectable than their unaltered counterparts.

A few weeks into the shut-down, took the TL70 off the shelf, along with one of my social isolation models. She loves Holgas, too.

Here a quick (more or less 15 minutes shooting) series of shot with a very appreciated gift from Meminesis/ ! A Heerbrugg Wild... it is a Polaroid camera to be used on a microscope, but obviously there is no microscope here... it seem to be a sort of long lens probably working at F16 or F22 (or even more) with fixed focus on twenty meters or more when not used on its microscope... it has a periscope reflex viefinder mounted inside the lens and a leaf shutter with speeds from T/B, 1 second up to 1/125, when you want to use this big strange camera you need to use it like a sort of periscope, so I think iut is really great for street photography in full light.
One other thing is that it is clearly a modification of some Polaroid land camera, same back, clearly. But the back is a mess, with some deformations so it allows some curious light leaks to happen... what a camera... thank you a lot Meminesis/ ! ;-)
