Här kommer mitt bidrag till fotosöndags veckotema - attiralj
Jag har samlat på mig en hel del kamera grejor de senaste tre åren. Här är en del av det jag använder i bilden (tillsammans med min första kamera och de två första objektiven som jag fick).
Än en gång tack till min fru som hjälpte mig att kasta, släppa och fånga olika saker i bilden.
Here comes my contribution to fotosöndag's weekly challenge - paraphernalia.
I seem to have collected quite a bit of camera knick-knacks over the last three years with just some of my stuff that I use in this picture (along with my first camera and two lenses that were given to me).
Thanks once again to my wife in helping throw, drop and catch different items for this picture!
Shrouded in mist & cloud, I thought to my self 'Typical'. On the summit of Skiddaw and I could barely see in front of my face, let alone the views over Derwent Water. Just as I was about to leave, the mist dropped below my altitude, offering this sumptuous view. Well worth the effort & well worth the wait.

Secret Thirteen: I don't really know anything about photography. Not the technical crap, anyway. I couldn't tell you what an f-stop is to save my life. But I'm learning. See, I'll prove it:
A few of the various things I've learnt photography wise this year:
- RAW is better. Except when dealing with chicken.
- ISO is all about sensitivity. And noise. The higher the number, the bigger the noise. Just like on the stereo.
- Shutter Speed is all about... quick shutter.
- When shooting in the garden, watch out for ants.
- Fill Flash is helpful. But it almost never helps carry things i.
- Zoom with care. Wider is better. Mostly.
- Neighbours laugh. Keep that in mind at all times. Especially when singing and shooting wattle.
- Light matters. In many ways. But mostly in the way of if you don't have it you can't shoot.
- Be careful when shooting into the sun. If you're not, you'll put your eyes out.
- Shooting by a window makes your skin look pretty. No, trust me. Go see. We'll wait.
- Don't rest the camera on a tall pile of books. Ever.
- Don't allow your brother to use the camera. Ever.
- The best way to annoy people is to use a flash. Repeatedly. Up close. While laughing. Manically.
- Spinning is fun.
- Reverse Lens is fun, but kind of sucks for the lens. And the sensor. And your back.
- Trial and error is the ONLY way.
- When shooting while walking, a bra is a good and handy place to keep the lenscap. Also your iPod, keys and a fiver. When there are no other options, of course.
- White Balance is fun.
- Depth of field is all well and good but clarity is also well and good.
- Good, sweepy music is a must.
- Don't take your photos from your camera. Use a doohickey.
- Water photography is fun. And wet. And colourful. And fun. I mentioned the fun, right? All it takes is practice and perserverance. Don't argue. I know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
- Eyes open at all times. See everything.
- You need to keep your sense of humour. You aren't all that. Even when you are.
- Flickr people are awesome. Every last one of them. Except for the ones that suck. I hate those guys.

Other than fresh snow fall I cannot think of a better season to photograph. Autumn is a challenge as it can be so short lived and you do need good fortune with the weather to really get the most out of this wonderful season. More images to follow from this fantastic day.

For many reasons, I was NOT your fan but I voted for you because I believed that we were headed to one goal – CHANGE. But, as I watched your TV interviews, I can't help but admire your simplicity, spontaneity and your ideals (never mind your strides which look the same as that of Kris, haha). I hope that all the things you've said and promised can now be translated into actions.
Today, at 1200 NN, the 15th Philippine president, Noynoy C. Aquino will be sworn to office.
To Noynoy: I hope you prove to the people that you are worthy of their confidence. The guy who they can die with in pursuit of their country and its peoples' aspirations. Jail the corrupts to eliminate these deterrents to a nation's progress.
Congratulations to our new President and Vice-President.
God Bless the Philippines.
A stunning display of Geminid Meteors this morning. I witnessed well over 100 meteors in the time I was out. This image is a composite of a patch of sky photographed over a 1hr period.

So many times I see folks with a camera around their necks, but still with a lenscap on them. It was great to see a fellow Nikonist ready to take pictures.
Well, where to start? 6 months ago I would have never dreamed of shooting images like this one and I think it very unlikely that I would have given this scrubby little corner a second glance, but things change and I would say that over the last 3 months there has been a noticeable transition in my photography. I'm simply doing what feels good at the time. whether I am influenced by others or not is another question, however I believe we are all influenced by the work we see and admire.

I'm working on it, but I still don't feel quite at ease with the odd looks I get when I whip out an ancient lump of plastic toy camera in a public place. Perhaps it was this nervousness that led me to leave the plastic lens cap on for several exposures whilst at the Suffolk Show. This was not only annoying, but also made me cringe when I realised just how ridiculous my camera antics must have appeared to the average 3M pixel point and shoot user !
Anyway, rather than waste the exposures, I re-wound the film and exposed the "lens covered" frames again. Wasn't sure what I'd get as the cover is translucent plastic. This was the best of the bunch.
I now leave the lens cap safely at home!
For FlickrFriday group. This week theme, "Eyes".
Water drops on a piece of glass, positioned over a lens cap.
Kind of look like eyes.
20 minutes before sunrise and not a breath of wind. I couldn't believe my luck when I realised I had the entire lake to myself and to add to my utter joy, a gentle mist formed on the surface of the water. I love the cool blue hues of dawn light, so I decided to keep the WB set to daylight. Very little editing here, just lifting of the shadows to bring out detail in the mountains. This one is getting printed large.

This photo was taken with a Pentax K70 HD PENTAX-DA 2.8-4. 20-40mm ED LIMITED DC WR. Bracket shooting (5 shots).
Taken from the Aiguille du Midi station on a beautiful day. I love how the use of a polariser at high altitude makes the blue sky appear almost black, giving sublime contrast to the image.

Is progress truly progress? How do you improve upon perfection? Not once have I ever worried about getting dust on the Sensor, when changing lenses.
Not just any camera. Why?
Back to real photography . . . No batteries required!
Manual everything.
Whether you realise it or not, regardless which brand camera you are loyal to, THIS CAMERA, that is the Nikon F, was the father to all Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras that followed.
I searched long and hard for this pristine example. Easily looked at 100 cameras. It is 99.9% perfect, though 54 years old.
I first saw war correspondents, during the Vietnam Conflict with the Nikon F strapped around their necks. This camera spawned my enduring interest in Nikon.
The Nikon F 35mm film camera was introduced, April 1959 and was Nikon's first SLR camera. My camera was manufactured by Nippon Kogaku K. K., Japan, between July and September 1967.
The March 1959 Philadelphia trade show (Master Photo Dealers and Finishers Association Convention) of the Photo Marketing Association saw the US introduction of three new top brand Japanese SLR lines: the Minolta SR-2 with 55/1.8 and a list price of $249.50, the Canon Canonflex with 50/2 and a list price of $299.95, and the Nikon F with a 50/2 had a list price of $359.50, which costs more, today, unless it is in poor condition.
The Nikon F was the first Japanese SLR to have a lens lineup from 21mm to 1000mm.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with 100% Viewfinder.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with Mirror lock up.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with interchangeable focusing screens.
There were many firsts, in the Nikon F.
The Nikon F was superseded in 1972, by the Nikon F2 series, after a production total of 862,600 to 1,051,051 bodies, less about 90,000 Serial Numbers reserved for the (Nikon S3M range finder camera bodies).
The Nikon F marketed and sold exclusively for the German market were branded Nikkor F.
Here are some very good articles about the birth of the Nikon F-

www.nzgeo.com/photography/nikon-f/
Note: This camera and lens were pre-owned. When I decide to purchase pre-owned photographic equipment, it must look this well maintained and cared for, plus function perfectly, or I am not interested. Can you imagine this camera is 54 years old? I estimate that is was assembled on Tuesday, September 12, 1967, when approximately 158.7143 cameras were assembled every working day.
$306.27 AUD Nikon F camera body cost
$423.50 AUD Nikkor-SC Auto f=55mm 1:1.2 lens with HS-3 Lens Hood, Nikon L-1A Lens Filter cost
$22.00 AUD Nikon Nippon Kogaku 52mm J.U.M. 515,897 Lens Cap cost
$48.00 Nikon AR-1 cost
As I did not purchase everything all at once, I didn't notice the cost, so much. I examined many samples and asked a lot of questions, before I settled on these items. And, I just waited until what I wanted became available.
You may wonder why I did not go for a black edition. I could not be 100% assured it had not been like mine, but painted black. Many of the black Nikon F camera bodies are brassed all along the edges and very few examples are as nice as mine. Lastly, the black version commands a ridiculous price for exactly the same camera, except they are black. I just like the finish and contrasting black leatherette of mine. Refer to this weblink- www.destoutz.ch/typ_finish.html#black
So, you may wonder why I did not go for a later model "Nikon "Apollo" F. All slick advertizing by U.S. camera retailers, back in the day and plastic bits on the Rewind Lever and Self-Timer Lever. Also, it has a later Focusing Screen and an Eye Level View Finder that will accept diopter correction lenses, as well as Type 2 threaded flash sync terminal. The only difference that I can see between the two Nikon F and the "Apollo", is on the flash contact: the early 7303xxx has white insulating plastic on the flash connection and the late 7444xxx has black insulating plastic. Are the cosmetic changes worth more to me? No, quite the opposite. I wanted the bulletproof version, like what was used during the Vietnam war.
As a perfect counter balance to this gem, I use a Sekonic Studio Deluxe II L-389M Light Meter that does not require batteries.
I have found using this combination has made me much more careful and thoughtful as a photographer. Actually have to plan and think about camera settings and equivalent exposures before taking your shots.

Well, I finally made it back to, arguably, the most spectacular place on Earth! I did a quick drive through Yosemite Valley this afternoon, out in search of a campsite. The waterfalls are Raging, and the wind is gusting. It's hard to figure out what this photo is at first, but it was quite a pain in the ass to shoot. This is Bridal Veil Falls. I have NEVER seen a waterfall with so much spray. I went to this viewpoint and had a look for about 10 seconds, then ran back to devise a plan. I got the camera all set how I wanted it, focused and ready, ditched the tripod and shot hand held. I kept the camera under my shirt. I ran back to this spot. Pulled out the camera. Flung off the lenscap, and fired off this one shot. Shot number two, about one second later was just a blurry mess from all the spray on the lens. I picked up my lenscap, and ran! After a total of about 20 seconds of standing in this spot, I was as wet as I would be if I had just jumped in the river!
#Funleader #LensCap 18mm F8.0 #Full Frame #LMount #JustShoot #NoExcuse #F8andBeThere
The lens features 6 elements in 4 groups, multi-coated glass, a 0.8m minimum focusing distance, and 100-degree FOV. The model is constructed from brass with a chrome plating finish and it is ultra-light at 80g (2.8oz).
[Good]
- Native L mount
- Ultra wide Fixed aperture 18mm f8, No accidentally moving the focusing ring or Aperture ring
- Ultra thin lens cap compliment fp's minimalist design
- Compliment Sigma fp minimalism and making the full frame camera truly pocketable
[Bad]
• Usual vignetting + Greenish corners
• No aperture No Bokeh No Sunstars

Waking up from a cold night solo camping, I desperately hoped that the weather was going to be as good as I had anticipated. I was not disappointed. Wellies on, coffee in one hand and tripod in the other, I had plenty of time to skirt the lake looking for potential images. As the dawn light increased, I started to get that feeling of excitement. I was praying for the wind to hold off; it did.
I framed this image with the hope of a burst of sunlight on the trees, however when these 2 geese landed right in my frame I had my shot. Time to move on and find another spot.

The design of Minolta/ Sony DSLRs' lens cap has a huge pitfall. It really is just a matter of time before the plastic spring breaks…
The dramatic weather and the black rock really come together in this image. One of my favourites from a recent trip to Skye.

not sure about this one... you guys be the judge... :-)
thank you, all my dear Flickr friends, for all your comments, favs and invites! you guys are the best!!
VIEW ON BLACK!! :-) "L"
please visit my web site
Whoops. I missed this one and misnumbered my photos again. This should have been uploaded before the previous pic.
Anyway...this is me during the 2nd day of the Photo summit, when Parish Kohanim gave his talk. The man is a genius. I wannabe just like him when I grow up...hehe :-D
I dream of living out in the wilds somewhere. I could think of few better settings than this house, looking over Loch Slapin on the Isle of Skye.

The second in my series of "cliche portraits"....which I just decided would be series as of today...and I'm not really sure that 2 pictures counts as a "series."
For today's cliche shot I decided to exploit a hugely popular flickr cliche - the epic battle between Nikon and Canon. As you can tell my by lens cap collection (!) I have owned both types of cameras. My first "real" camera was a Canon Rebel (film) and I only switched to Nikon this year after buying my first DSLR. I've been very happy with both so far! Can't we all just get along? :-)
HCS!!

Today is one year since we lost a fellow light brother, Gareth. It was really tragic news, I was in hospital at the time I heard and it was devastating and everyone came out with the most thoughtful tribute images, being in the position I was in I was unable to contribute until some time later.
One year on and everyone has come out in the same spirit to remember a light brother, I even managed to join the occasion this time.
I put a lot of thought in to this image and has a similar theme to the last one I did. A collaboration that could never be. I used one of Gareth's fantastic Orb images as a digital light stencil, and came up with the concept.
Life is precious and the most valuable thing to each and everyone of us, we hold it in our hands and need to make the most of every moment.
Gareth was a family man and I wanted to bring that in to the image, also this is not present in the image, I had my son operating the light switch and my wife was helping with lens capping and flashing.
I hope Gareth would be proud how everyone has come together again to honour his memory.
Light In Peace
I'm kind of a sucker for light coming through stained glass windows.
Also, RIP my 77mm lenscap. It's in this cathedral somewhere!

For me, the most difficult part of wildlife photography is finding images with character and feeling. It is so easy to get caught in the trap of shooting endless animal portraits and no matter how sharp and technically perfect, if they lack soul and feeling, they become just another record shot. This is one of the best images from my recent safari, I have 20 other Zebra shots, but this one... this has character. I hope you agree, please give me feedback... good or bad.
