Photographed November 2018 / Rolleiflex 'Old Standard' TLR with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7.5cm/3.5 lens. Film was ILFORD 3200 DELTA PRO metered at ASA 800 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 8min @ 20*C). Negative was illuminated on a light panel and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using the Film Scanner app. The image was processed and finished in Flickr. (This image is the property of the photographer do not reproduce it without my consent). A remarkable moment; photographed at the instant the sun burned through the mist ....the light seemed to fold around everything even the darkest shadows were glowing with the first rays of the day; shivered and dissolved in light. Strange that the latest high speed film technology combines with old lens technology to enable photographs like this to be made with a handheld camera. When this Rolleiflex camera was manufactured (circa. 1934) such high speed films as ILFORD 3200 DELTA PRO were only dreamed of.

In 1909 liep zij van stapel bij scheepswerf Vrijenban in Delft, Quo Vadis werd ze gedoopt. In haar gloriejaren bevoer ze als vrachtschip de Europese wateren; met een lading bloembollen naar Duitse steden aan de Rijn, naar Engeland. Op één van de zandbanken in de Thames werd het schip droog gezet, zodat haar romp van aangroei kon worden ontdaan, dan teren, kolen laden en op weg naar Sint Petersburg om daar hout te laden voor haar thuishaven. In de winter van 1990 kocht Jan Dirk Plat de Quo Vadis. Het schip was aardig vervallen. Op de werf werd het gezandstraald en kreeg het een paar nieuwe platen onder haar romp, nieuwe masten aan dek en een nieuwe naam: Auwe Neel. In de winter van 2004 werd Wietske Schouten de nieuwe eigenaar. Nu zeilt deze 130 tonner met 22 passagiers over de Nederlandse wateren en houdt ze ons historisch erfgoed levend.

Found this old parking meter in Hamilton, New Zealand, and it was still working! Retro begets Retro.

Formerly the home of Duncan Traffic Equipment Company, once one of the nation's leading producers of parking meters, was located in the 1907 building at 835 N. Wood St. It now contains 16 loft units.
Long before young Mayor Daley's dealing fiasco selling the rights to Chicago's parking metering to a private company, Duncan was known for its connections, political and otherwise. Its president Jerome Robinson managed to stay out of the long arms of the law, although a New York City-based PR man went to prison for lying before a grand jury on his efforts to get a no-bid contract for the city's parking meters during the mid-1960s.

I FUBARed the exposure on a few shots from this roll (I had my meter set to spot rather than incident, so underexposed several frames). I don't dislike the final results though.

Dankzij het leefbaarheidsbudget van de Gemeente Utrecht heeft de Vereniging van Eigenaars VvE van de Jaap Edendreef subsidie ontvangen voor de plaatsing van twee reusachtige geveldoeken 10 x 15 meter!. Aan weerszijden van deze 10 verdiepingen-hoge flat is een prachtige foto met een Hollands schaatstafereel gemonteerd. De foto’s zijn verkozen door de flatbewoners zelf en geven meer betekenis aan de naamgever van hun straat: Jaap Eden. Ooit een roemrucht schaatser, maar tegenwoordig voor velen een onbekende. De doeken dienen niet alleen een esthetisch doel, maar helpen wijkbewoners en hun bezoekers zich ook beter te oriënteren in doolhof Overvecht. Al van verre is het geveldoek aan de Jaap Edendreef te zien. Voortaan weet iedereen waar je woont als je zegt: ik woon in de flat met de schaatsers. Dankzij de fotoverkiezing eerder dit jaar en het onthullingsfeest van vrijdagavond worden de bewoners ook dichter bij elkaar gebracht. Het leven in een portiekflat nodigt niet uit tot intensieve burencontacten, maar deze activiteiten hebben veel bewoners toch naar buiten gelokt en met elkaar in contact gebracht.
My two skating photos taken last year won the photo competition of the residents of the Jaap Eden flat. Jaap Eden was a Dutch athlete to have won World Championships titles in speed skating in 1893. That's why the inhabitants choose my two photos to be printed on their flat wall.
Jaap Eden 19 oktober 1873 - 2 februari 1925 was een Nederlands schaatser en wielrenner, die internationale successen vierde rond het begin van de 20e eeuw. In 1893 behaalde hij op 19-jarige leeftijd zijn eerste wereldtitel. Een jaar daarop brak hij twee wereldrecords, waarvan dat op de 5 kilometer zeventien jaar zou blijven staan. Hij verpulverde een jaar later zijn eigen wereldrecord op de 10 kilometer; hij bracht het van 19.12,4 op 17.56,0. In 1895 Hamar en 1896 Sint-Petersburg behaalde hij nogmaals de wereldtitel. Hierna stapte hij over op de wielrensport. Vandaar dat de bewoners van de Jaap Edendreef tijdens de fotoverkiezing twee schaats foto's gekozen als geveldoeken voor hun woon flat.

THE NILGIRI MOUNTAIN RAILWAY
This meter gauge line starts from the Mettripalaiyam terminus of the Madras Railway at the foot of the Nilgiri Hills, and, after a gentle slope of about five miles, rises in the next twenty miles to the present terminal station of Coonoor, which is at an elevation of 5613 ft above the sea level, by means of a continuous rack ascent on the Abt system. The mean gradient is about 1 in 14, but the slopes vary a great deal, there being nearly seven miles of 1 in 12, or eight percent; about nine miles consist of curves, and five miles of these curves have a radius of only 328 ft. Through the greater part of the ascent the work is of a very heavy character, the railway clinging to the precipitous side of the same valley by which for many years past the Nilgiris have been ascended by means of an excellent metal road. Coonoor, the terminus, is a thriving European hill station with a native settlement, and adjoining it is the Wellington Cantonment, an important military sanitorium and depot; it is intended to extend the line to Ootacamand, a very large town, and seat of the Madras Government during the hot season, the elevation being 7500 ft
The numerous streams are crossed by steel box girder bridges, designed in accordance with the Government of India's conditions. The only exception is the 100 ft girders of Bhavani Bridge, which were designed for a dead and non-doubled moving load, with a unit stress intensity of 6 tons instead of 9 ton
Pictured above is a train on the Kullar Bridge. The permanent way consists of rails 50 lb. steel, held down by single spiking except at joints, where the outer spikes are double. The sleepers are Pyngadu, a bard wood imported from Burma, which is found to resist the attacks of white ants. The rack is a double plate Abt steel rack, weighing 90 lb. per yard, breaking joint and held by cast iron chairs. There is no rack on the short piece of level at the two intermediate short stations or watering places
The rolling stock at present consists of the following:
Four locomotives, six-wheeled, two pair coupled, having four cylinders each, two for ordinary adhesion, and two for the rack driving. Four first class cars, carrying 27 passengers each; four composite, carrying 11 second-class and 36 third class passengers; also there are sixteen low sided wagons, which carry a paying load of 22 tons each. The engines, manufactured by Messrs. Beyer and Peacock should have been designed with larger heating surface to suit the fuel, which deteriorates from storage in the hot Indian climate. On a gradient of 8 percent, the speed does not exceed four miles per hour, with a train weighing in all 67 tons, or with the engine, about 100 tons, and firing must be carried on skillfully, or there will be a tendency to lose steam.
Great attention has been paid to the brakes and stopping arrangements, a necessary precaution in a mountain line, which is liable to falls of rock in the monsoon season. The whole of the rolling stock is therefore braked in such an efficient manner that an emergency stop with a descending train, at a speed of four miles per hour, was made in 30 ft, and at eight miles per hour in 120 ft. The rack pinions of the engines are powerfully braked by a band, and the engine adhesion wheels are fitted with two ordinary hand brakes. On the descent the driver and his mate have a full view of the road from the footplate of the engine, while the guard and the brakesman equally get a good view on the ascent
The test image was taken with a Canon FD 28mm f3.5 lens with a Fotodiox PRO FD-FX adapter on a Fujifilm X-A10 mirrorless digital camera body.

Wynne’s Infallible Exposure Meter, first made in the 1890s. It's the size of a small antique pocket watch.
By timing how long it takes for a paper disk in the meter to change colour when exposed to the light, you can estimate the exposure time you need for your camera, based on your chosen f stop. How technology has changed since then!
Here's more information on the meter and how it works, if you’re interested.

Sure, it's not springtime any more. We are officially ca. 2 days into summer. However, I just don't feel like saving this photo for ca. 10 months before sending it out.
* Head-Turner: I opted for a double entendre. (1) "Head turner" is an English idiom for someone (or something) regarded as especially attractive to look at. (2) While daffodils are not slavishly heliocentric, they do seem to face the sun a lot, especially just as they are blooming. This one was in a whole group of separate daffodil plantings, scattered over a few square meters. All the flowers the flowers were facing the sunrise.
BTW, according to what I read, sunflowers only track the sun over the course of the day when they are in the bud stage. (They reset during the night to face in the direction of the anticipated sunrise.) When they are in full bloom, they tend to stay steadily facing the direction of sunrise, all the time, day and night.
