I am one of several folks across the globe that took a picture
at this exact moment. the Moment blog | the Moment flickr group
A stellar lightning storm brought a cooling rain to our area early this morning. So, thankfully, all day it stayed cool and drizzly until shortly before the Moment arrived and the sun popped out. When my alarm went off I stepped outside and was instantly caught by the notion of how many times during the day I pass through my front door, but rarely embrace it's own unique and unchanging perspective.
it seems that i have quite a few hallway shots from this visit...

The City of Hamilton opened up Auchmar for it's first Photographer's Day. For $25 photographers were given free reign of the estate including all of the grounds, the coach house, dovecote and all three floors of the main manor.
I spent three hours going through the three main floors of the manor and ran out of time just as I was entering the church/dormitory. There is still much left to see and I am looking forward to a return visit.

My photo walk of Saturday, September 14, 2024 in Lyon, France by a clear refreshed weather.
I used my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera loaded with an Ilford FP4+ film. The Carl Zeiss normal lens Planar CF 1:2.8 f=80mm was equipped with a 67mm screw-on filter Dark Yellow x3 B+W 023 adapted to the Hasselblad bayonet filter mount with a specific adaptor. The Zenza Bronica metal shade hood designed for the 75mm Nikkor-P lens was mounted additionally to the filter to its 67mm thread.
The film was exposed for 50 ISO in compensation of the filter light absorptionusing a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° viewer for selective measurement privileging the shadow area's or by measuring the incident light with the opalescent dome.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+50 and the film processed for 15min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm film.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About my Hasselblad 500C/M:
I remember that somewhere around 2002, I considered to buy a Hasselblad camera. I gave up because I had no more access to a darkroom and I found too complicated to recreate one or to delegate the processing to a service lab. Afterward, I started digital photography that distracted me to operate again with films until more recently. It is only when I could manage in 2022 a reliable and quality way to exploit my negatives in a reasonable time, that I really could enjoy again of analog photography.
On July 17, 2024, I decided to buy "my" Hasselblad in a very traditional way, almost as I could in the 90’s, in a local real photographic store, Lyon, France. The store « Carré Couleur » of Jacques Larger, rue Servient, Lyon, France, is a long-time specialist of professional medium-format camera’s including Hasselblad ones. They had on display several revised and 6-month guaranteed camera’s and a large choice of lenses and accessories.`
I choose a 500 C/M year 1978 and a Carl Zeiss lens Planar T* 1:2.8 f=80mm of the CF series year 1986, plus a small set of little Hasselblad goodies. The 500 C/M is totally mechanical without any electrical nor electronic circuitry. The 500 C/M's were produced in Göteborg, Sweden, from year 1970 to 1994. They followed the production of the 500C camera’s (1957-1970). The latest V-series camera (503 CX, CW, CWI etc) ceased in 2006 and Hasselblad then produced only digital camera’s but also digital camera backs that could fit to the V-series includingbthis 500 C/M (www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx)
This CF lens series has central shutter Prontor (Synchro-Compur for the earlier Zeiss series). They are more cylindrical than earlier series and equipped of the proprietary bayonet filter mount B60. The delayed shutter realease was also abandoned. The focusing screen is the « Bright » series with the Dodin stigmometer in the screen centrer and the squared cross-ruling lines. Later 501 and 503 were basically equipped with an even more brighter screen called « Acute-mat ». The camera back could dated from year 1977 is an « A-12 » back « A » standing for « Automatic ». The film advance automatically stops at view 1 with view counter on the right camera side.
After a complete demo by Jacques Larger, I studied the camera manipulation at home with the user manual in hand (an original edition of 1980) before doing the decisive « film d’essai » (test film) on a sunny morning of July 20, 2024.
The results show very high-quality, highly-contrasted negative views, perfectly exposed and spaced proving the good technical state of the camera, film magazine, and the lens/shutter.
On sept. 2, 2024, I received from a French specialist of collection camera's, a second film magazine Hasselblad "A12". This back is in a pristine condition and matches the production year 1978 (Hasselblad letter coding "UR") of the 500 C/M body.
The camera back is like a new with almost no signs of use. It arrived in its original Hasselblad box including the original user manual too. The film insert has latest 3 digits matching the film magazine serial number, that is not the case of the other magazine. Unmatched magazines and inserts, are very common and assumed not to be a technical problem, but Hasselblad maintained the pairing of the insert magazine to ensure to the customers of the best attention to the precision of the film plane.

I have had a hard time this week coming up with something to photograph. It has been cold, wet, and damp here in Belgium all week and the forecast for this coming week is more of the same. As I sat in my van yesterday waiting for the downpour to slow down for me to get out, I thought to myself, this has been my whole perspective all week. I have been down, out of focus, and grey. I think the lack of sunshine is getting to me along with the cold. I hope that the sun and warmth decide to show up soon and that my perspective will change too!!!

I fooled around on Photoshop to correct the perspective on this wide-angle shot. Not perfect, but what the hey, I've uploaded it anyway.
o there are quite a few Lancers in the FGO universe, with a surprisingly high number of Figma representations of them. From a quick bit of digging, it seems that Scathach is a very popular character, and while I'm sure she has some very good stats, I'm guessing that's not the reason why she's got an impressive amount of Character Goods and Fan Art.
Originally released in 2018, I'd been tracking this figure on and off for the past few years, and prices have been kind of nuts. However, as with most of my purchases, right place right time, found a local seller that let his completely sealed one for $80 CAD, which of course was a great price so I went ahead and snagged it.
Like most Fate character, interesting background story on the character, including the ability to basically make as many Gae Bolg as she wants, provided she has access to the raw material, which is why she comes with two spears, though I'm not sure if she actually attacks with two of before she reaches her 3rd Ascension.
Her three face plates appear to do the job, though again I'm not familiar enough with the character to know if GSC missed anything.
Everyone loves the characters with the skin tight body suit designs , of which there are quite a few in the Fate universe. What really sets Scathach apart from the others is the predominately purple colour scheme, coupled with her striking eyes. Like all mysterious beauties, Scathach has long hair.
From an engineering perspective, there's nothing remarkable bout the figure. It's actually incredibly standard, a bit top heavy because of the long hair. There's no tricks to the articulation, so pretty standard Figma 2.0 set up, though I will give credit to the sculptors for making her coat tails or whatever they're called actually flared upward and outward so at least you can get some sort of leg movement in. That, combined with the fact that there's only impairment at the back, means you can get some decent dynamic poses in, though for most of them you will need the stand. Hair can be manipulated slightly to increase range of head motion, but at the same time because of the sculpted nature the hair never really flows naturally - you really do need a separate hair piece with like Medusa 2.0 if you want a more natural look in a variety of positions.
Of course, being a pre COVID figure, Paint and QC were of no concern, with all being as expected.
Had other ideas for this week's theme but went to a cancer benefit for a little girl last night. It was a fantastic time with some great bands all for a great cause. She's only 6 or 7 and battling cancer for a second time. :( Really puts your life into perspective and makes you appreciate what you have!
This is this with the perspective corrected.
I didn't think it would come out looking this good.
Yes, that's the same photo as the one two photos back. Hard to believe, but it's true. It still needs more work. The tower now looks too tall, much too tall.
It's the Church of the Redeemer on 30th Road and Crescent Street in Astoria, NY.
*edit* I really have no idea how to fix this one. I substituted one kind of distortion for another, it seems. The tower appears to be almost twice as tall as it really is, but everything else looks good. I suppose that I could try copying everything onto a separate layer and adjusting the tower and church and then just replace the tower on the original, but that still wouldn't look right.
First photo uploaded through the flickr API :-). And first photo I'll submit to the "Vanishing Point" group.
