We did a lot of the stand here and do this, touristy shots. The goal here was to get the water skier in the background.
This trail circled the entire lake, and met up with other branches. Needless to say I now have a great appreciation of Madison.

Up front there is a big selenium cell which powers the needle in the meter.
No battery needed !

I'm not entirely happy with this. I wanted a somewhat softer look. I may have sharpened too aggresively.
Seen and taken at Langstone with canon 7D2 and the 500mm prime. Yet to decide whether I prefer the tinted version or the original !

Zeiss Ikon Vintage Test Lightmeters.
An retired repairman told me that these selenium cell powered lightmeters were used to check other "normal" lightmeters. That's all i know.
These meters clearly use the housing of the "normal" Ikophot model which was produced in the middle of the nineteen-fifthies.
A view on the front.
A partially Selenium toned Lith Print of Blackrock Cottage, Glencoe, Scotland.
The meta data suggestes the shot was made on a Nikon D70. It was however made witha Bronica ETRS with a 75mm lens. The original negative was made on Ilford Delta 400, rated at 200 and processed in Pyro developer.
The lith print was then made and subsequently photographed with a Nikon D70 to 'digitise' it for inclusion on Flickr.
After reading the Ansel Adams series The Camera, Negative, Print I put a selenium toned print together. His favorite tone. The small shot doesn't do it justice, but now that I'm not a pro I'm downsizing to 800px
