My camera gear during my London visit. Inside the Skin 50 pouch I carried the Zenitar 16mm and the Canon 50mm f1.4 as well as the Pixel Pocket Rocket card holder, extra battery and other assorted items. I used it strapped to my belt on the right side and it's very comfortable and convenient. It's my most common gear loadout.
Mounted on the 5D mk2 is a 24-105 f4 IS, my primary lens.
Wood, cardboard, screws,...
the sliding rail is a piece of bamboo parquet. The focusing system needs some developments...

Originally this was shot to document the old Leica lens on my modern Canon, at a second look I thought the reflection on the lens could be nice - we all like sunsets ;)
I don´t do much colour-key processing, as I think this effect became a bit overused in the last years and isn´t that surprising anymore, but here I think it works well.
With the new year on the rise I really put off picking up any new projects. I know 2014 is going to be a busy year and would be overwhelming between school, client work and my personal work. But I decided to partake in Letsgetcreative2014 anyway as a challenge to myself! It is a 52 week self portraiture project that has a theme each week and hosted by Ella & Nathalie. It’ll be different to be in front of the camera and learn how to improve on an area of photography work that I’d like to be better at. Anyone can join in!
Trying to catch up on photos but still consumed with Kaylee's potty training and other house keeping. Here's a quick shot of a vintage camera from our collection found at a garage sale up in Washington.
Happy Cliche Saturday!!
Image used to test the rollers on a Polaroid camera. They were just cleaned and tested perfect.
Kind of liked the shot and lighting so I finished it off with the old chop stick manipulation.

This is some of my gear! :)
*Scroll over the photo for the name of each piece of equipment.*
I enjoy switching it up between polaroids, panoramas, medium format and digital, as I adore the outcome of both lo-fi and hi-fi photography!
I'd love to hear about your experiences with any of these cameras, so please feel free to comment and I'll be sure to reciprocate! Thanks for checking out my photo. :)
While Joseph Ong (at the right) was eating something (using a lens pen as chopsticks), I was having fun spray painting his Canon EF 70-200 2.8L lens. Just curious what a black telephoto lens (Nikon look) would look like in a Canon body.
At work, I shoot mostly in the studio. Here is my gear for my personal work. I usually just carry one camera body and a couple of lenses and a flash at a time depending on what i plan to shoot. I also use different bags depending on what I want to put in it.
For my portable lighting gear:
03 - Apr - 2012:
I was taking some record shots of my latest batch of newly-acquired vintage cameras and decided on this one.
It's a Fujica AX-3 SLR film camera which arrived this week. I'm looking to make a collection of Fujicas and this is my 6th Fujica SLR
Taken on the Canon 5D MkII with 2 remote speedlites in a light tent.
I love this shot of my mom. The beach, the camera, her squint as she decides what she wants to shoot, her hair, everything.
Equipment used: Nikon D7000 + MB-D11 Really Right Stuff (RRF) right angle bracket, DR-6 right angle finder, CZ 50mm Makro Planar, Gitzo 2220 tripod with Acratech GV2 gimbal / ball head.
Exposure: Manual, 1/250 sec and f/5.6.
Lighting: A single Elinchrome FX 200Ri with one barn door at the bottom of the reflector to prevent light spilling on the glass plate under the camera. Strobe was triggered by a Skyport radio trigger. I fixed a small ball head with a paper clamp to hold the Styrofoam reflector to left of FA. The ball head was fixed to a Manfrotto Articulating Arm 196-2 which was mounted on a Super Clamp. The ball head made positioning of the reflector a breeze. The catch lights in the lens were made with a simple torch which was handheld.
Note: This is not a very good perspective but I was constrained due to the size of the glass plate and was forced to choose a high angle. Also could not just get rid of dust on the plate. Sorry about it!
This Nikon FA camera body (in EX+ condition) was presented to me by my elder sister. It belonged to my late brother in law Neel, a gem of a person. While going through the KEH site one day I found a MD-15 drive in EX condition for $25. I just couldn’t pass it up. The 50mm f/1.2 lens was bought in Hyderabad and is in Ex+ condition too. The whole set up is a fully functional and is great to look at. It is the new beauty queen of my collection!
The Nikon FA is one of the historically important cameras as it was the first camera in the world to have the so called “evaluative metering” (aka multi-segment metering). Nikon called it “Matrix Metering” and that term now has become a standard term in photographic jargon. This compact camera supports M, A, S, P modes and shows all important information in the viewfinder. The shutter speeds are from 30 sec to 1/4000 sec and X-Sync is 1/250 sec. It also has a 1/250 mechanical back up speed that works even without batteries. The set up makes a nice Click, Zzzzzt sound when the shutter is released. It is very ergonomic to hold too due to the shape of MD-15. The only hitch is that it requires a 12V supply like a car (meaning 8 AA cells) and hence is heavy.
in1967 Camera Corporation of America made this instant camera. beside kodak and polaroid, there is another instant film system, only 1 model was made - chrislin insta camera 100.
Pinhole cameras made from tin cans, match boxes, mint tins and a cracker box. They use 35mm film or light-sensitive photo paper as negatives.
The one in the back left was purchased on ebay, and I haven't used it. Some day I will, but it doesn't appeal to me as much as the handmade cameras.

Funny, I see a compositional flaw in this photo, now that the set-up is put away. It is way too heavy on the right. Some day I'll have to correct that.
Canon Digital Rebel XT / EF-S 17-85.
Taken with the old camera. I like this shot a lot more than the shot of my old camera I took with this. I guess I still have to get used to it.
This was supposed to be a candid shot, but the camera shy girl turned and rushed into her courtyard. The Nikon's stellar AF performance has saved the day once again.
Rangefinder cameras and lenses made by Canon and Nikon were discovered by US photojournalists covering the Korean war in 1950; the discovery came as a shock similar in its own way to that of the war itself, and it presaged the end of the era of German dominance at the top level of optics and photography.
You can get a general sense of just how unexpected this discovery was by taking a look at this passage that appeared in Popular Photography Magazine in 1946: rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-136.html
Many of the early cameras were made especially for sale in the PX (Post Exchange) shops to US military personnel. This is one of those examples, as indicated by the red diamond and the letters "E-P" engraved on the top cover.
This is a product shot of my Nikon D2H camera with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. This camera is for sale if you are interested.
Strobist info: SB-600 in softbox, camera left, SB-600 in shoot-through umbrella, camera right, using CLS in Manual settings. triggered using pop-up flash in -- mode.

This Expo Watch Camera was introduced in 1905. It was designed to look like a pocket watch. The "winding stem" is the lens. A reflex finder is slipped over the winding stem. The daylight loading cartridge produced twenty five 5/8 x 7/8 inch exposures.
