If you want to go panoramic on film really on a budget, you can always grab one of those cameras from the late 1990s that have light baffles just in front of a film that crops standard photos to fake panoramic. While it is fully faked, with a proper wide-angle lens, the resulting photos can look not that bad!

Here, I did just that - I acquired Pentax MZ-5, one of those cameras with fake panoramic baffles. The good part is it crops even the viewfinder, the bad part is it's just a crop, you'd need a seriously wide-angle lens for a good effect - 19mm here helped.

Last year, late spring 2014., I acquired a beast of a camera - Horizon 202, Russian swing-lens panoramic film camera.

This was the first roll I shot in it, but not the first developed, though.

The camera has fixed focus, fixed lens, below ƒ/8 is not really sharp, but that lens is apparently optimized for smaller apertures - at ƒ/11 and ƒ/16, it is as sharp as it gets. Also, it is not the easiest camera to use - you should keep it as level as possible, the swing-lens design will exaggerate all mis-levelings. This particular roll also shows slight light-leaks and film tension problems, but none of these problems occurred in later rolls, so I assume it was just because the camera wasn't in use for quite some time, or due to sloppy roll loading.

 

Taken with Horizon 202 camera, on Fuji Neopan 100 film, developed in Fomadon R09 1+50 at 10 min 21°C, fixed with Fomafix at 6 min 23°C. Scanned with Canon CanoScan 8800F and VueScan 9.

Velvia never fails to amaze me, it’s just such a shame it’s so hard to get one’s hands onto it these days.

Velvia makes vivid colors appear where the barely are any to begin with.

This shot was taken shortly after sunset, to finish off the film so that I could get it to the lab the next day. The light was nearly gone and I wasn't so sure that it would turn out. Very glad that I took it in the end!

Go visit Istria, and you'll never run out of interesting sights. Some are easy to take a photo of, some aren't, mostly because the crowds there trying to do the same as you. This year was special, too - the first after a pandemic-induced hiatus we had last year, it looks like everybody was trying to be everywhere. :o

Cold but dry January weekend was almost an ideal day for a quick walk around the nearby lake - the lake was still partially frozen, the snow didn't fully melt. If only there was a bit more sun, but hey, I took what I got without complaints!

A very cold weekend didn't stop me from wandering around the park, trying to catch a good photo here and there. The reflections were great, but by the time I got to that part of the park, I was both positively freezing, and near the end of the roll.

It is almost as if the pandemic has served as an early circa 1980s Ghost Town video backdrop for the two-tone Specials - but slowing down and having the time during various lockdowns for urban strolls is an ideal opportunity to take in our less bustling surroundings, where you become more aware of what is around you; or indeed, in many cases, what once was around you in history.

 

My mötley crew of Thursday Club pub regulars noted the refurbishment of one of their past watering holes, and what wasn't piquing their interest was the aesthetic changes to the Titwood Bar in Strathbungo, in Glasgow's south side, but the faded sign that began to resurface as the facade came down. It took a ghost sign, and those who remembered it before it was a ghost, to bring it back to life.

 

Likewise, during many lockdown urban strolls, I keep my eye open for 'ghost signs', those wonderful hand-painted signage and advertisement relics - usually dating from 1900 to 1930s - that remind us of a city's past life. And this hobby has a large Facebook following and the hashtag #ghostsign has been used more than 90,000 times on Instagram.

 

London reigns supreme in this spectral pursuit; Glasgow has dozens and growing, many of them documented on a newish and embryonic ghost-sign walking tour guide, which can be downloaded from Ghost Signs of Glasgow (www.glasgowheritage.org.uk/take-a-walk-on-the-ghost-side-...).

 

One of my favourites is a true haunt for many from the past, an old Woolies, the back entrance to the store on 22-26 Charing Cross Mansions, St. Georges Road, backing on to Renfrew Street. The store traded from this location for about 50 years before closing in the early 1970s as the city redeveloped that part of the town for a motorway bypass. Only in the past few years, some original 1920s era signage was revealed at Renfrew Street (the back of the store) – and it is still there today.

I've been driving through the countryside I know the best, villages near my grandparent's place, for quite a number of years now. It never gets boring, there's always some new take on a familiar sight.

 

This time, I was testing a compact camera I've had for more than a decade, yet I've never used it. It's Soligor branded soap-bar autofocus camera with a reasonably wide 30mm lens. Not the best lens out there, but again, reasonably good for an inexpensive camera.

 

Taken with Soligor AF-34 compact film camera, with its 30mm F4.5 lens, on Kodacolor 200 film. The camera did everything automagically, I just pointed it, and shot.

Собор Богоявления Господня — православный собор в Вышнем Волочке, Тверская область, Россия

 

Здание храма построено из кирпича в 1810—1814 годах на острове между двумя рукавами Цны на месте ветхой деревянной церкви во имя Богоявления Господня с приделом архистратига Михаила. В 1864—1866 годах собор был основательно перестроен. От первоначального объёма сохранились части восточной и западной стен, превращенные в столбы, южная и северная стены, возможно, частично световой барабан, опирающийся на четыре столба.

 

В 1931 году собор был закрыт, но не разрушен, здание использовалось в складских целях. Вновь открыт храм был не как большинство церквей в конце 1980-х или 1990-е годы, а уже в 1945 году.

 

Сегодня Богоявленский собор является главным действующим храмом Вышнего Волочка, духовным оплотом православных горожан и одной из главных достопримечательностей города. В храме в иконостасе и киотах сохранились иконы XVII—XVIII веков, в том числе резной образ Николы Можайского, а также Богородичные иконы — Иверская, Выдропужская и именуемые «Скоропослушница», «Утоли Моя Печали», «Всех Скорбящих Радость».

 

The Epiphany Cathedral is an Orthodox cathedral in Vyshny Volochek.

 

The building of the temple was built of brick in 1810-1814 on the island between the two arms of Tsna on the site of a dilapidated wooden church in the name of the Epiphany of God with the chapel of the Archangel Michael. In 1864–1866, the cathedral was thoroughly rebuilt. Parts of the eastern and western walls have been preserved from the original volume, turned into pillars, the southern and northern walls, possibly partially light drum, supported by four pillars.

 

In 1931 the cathedral was closed, but not destroyed, the building was used for storage purposes. The reopened temple was not like most churches in the late 1980s or 1990s, but already in 1945.

 

Today, the Epiphany Cathedral is the main temple of the Most High Voloshok, the spiritual stronghold of Orthodox citizens and one of the main attractions of the city. In the temple in the iconostasis and icon cases preserved icons of the XVII-XVIII centuries, including the carved image of Nikola Mozhaisky, as well as the Theotokos icons - Iverskaya, Vydropuzhskaya and named "Skorobuslnitsa", "Soothe My Sorrows", "Joy of All Who Sorrow".

So I buy a new (to me) flatbed scanner, a really cheap one but I'm trying to get the best results possible, I'm still experimenting with VueScan trying to get decents results because, to be honest, this is a very regular scanner, scanning a frame of 35mm film at 2400 DPI can take a significant amount of time, but the results were pretty good compared to the original software of HP, which is pretty useless to scan negatives of any kind, I'm still experimenting with medium format film and soon I'll be posting more content with this interesting pair

(HP G4050 & VueScan Software.)

 

Please leave your thoughts in the comments because that's very important to me so I can know what can I do to progress in my work, thanks ;)
