i just survived two years with an iphone and celebrated by rediscovering a "new" one of my first favorite camera; 'canon prima zoom 65' which i lost to the morning mist at a wedding years ago. i picked it up today and am so very excited. getting the film i enjoyed using with this camera as well (kodak gold) apart from this film being 200 asa instead of 400.
thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/vagn49/ for selling me that good aul canon point and shoot.
My lovely little Brownie Starflash Camera. Isn't she a cutie? My sister found her for me at an unmentionable price...literally unmentionable...as there almost wasn't one! She knows what I like! Yay!
My trusty old Canon AE-1. I purchased it about 4 years ago in order to enjoy the last years of the film era. It has served me well but now the time has come to let it go. I'm selling it tomorrow. I figured it would be nice to create a digital memory of it before the new owner is coming to pick it up.
This is a HDR shot made out of three bracketed RAW images shot at -1.3, 0 and 1.3ev.
After creating the HDR and performing tone mapping I loaded it up in Photoshop and created two layers. One with the HDR image in b/w and one with the colored HDR image. I blurred the colored overlay and toned down the saturation, resulting in this dreamy, vintage style memory of my old trusty AE-1.
I hope you like it! If you do, make sure you check out the large version
My self made camera bag! :D
Please forgive me for the quality of the picture, it's taken with my phone.
Materials:
-Foam
Some stores specialized in refitting furniture also sell just the foam. They have it in different thickness and can cut you the quantity you need. I bought a piece of 33inches (80cm) for 7£, but honestly, I didn't use half of it for a bag of that size. With 4/5£ worth of foam you should have enough.
If you don't know where to find such a place in your town, go to a fabric store and ask them, they should know (they'll be even more willing to help you if you buy them the fabric you need).
Replacing it with Bubble wrap just DOESN'T WORK (it's not protecting enough and it doesn't last), and it's not that much cheaper.
- Fabric
Something simple, cotton preferably. Avoid anything like fur, velvet and suede, they'll attract dust. Pick something light enough to allow you to find your gear easily.
- Cardboard
You want it thin but strong and light. I went to Spar and asked them if they didn't have some pieces of boxes they were about to bin.
Then you need thread, needles, ducktape, double faced tape, velcro, and if wanna go quicker, fabric glue.
Oh, and of course a bag lol. I picked mine for 9£ at the Eagle Market. It's probably not gonna last forever, but I can still take the insert out and put it in another bag.
First of all, take mesurement and draw how you wanna put your gear in.
With the cardboard and tape, I formed a box to fit inside the bag. It was quite tricky to put it in, I had to fold the bottom inside to be able to twist it, then once inside I taped the bottom back.

Then I cutted out pieces of foam to cover each side of the box and wrapped it in fabric.
I sewed the fabric around then reversed it and closed the last side with ducktape.

TIP: If you don't have a sewing machine, then don't bother with sewing the "walls" of the box, you won't be able to see the face stuck to the box anyway, so just do everything with ducktape, you'll save hours!
Stick them to the cardboard with the double faced tape.
Then I wrapped more foam with fabric to do the compartements dividers.

Adhesive velcro becomes very handy when you don't have a machine. Mine weren't so it too me ages to put them on. Multipurpose Power Pritt glue can work, but make sure you wait long enough before using them (1 to 2 hours).
Stuck the other bit of the velcro inside the main "box" and then put the dividers in place.
Then I only used more bits of foam, fabric and tape to fill the spaces.
One of the lenses is under another one which doesn't make it very handy, but I really don't use it often so in case I need it I'll have time to get it.
This bag will just work perfectly for me I think.
It's not waterproof I think but I'll make sure I buy a rain cover and carry it in the bag at all times.
There is some pockets in the front, very handy for accessories.
The whole thing is rather light as well, which is very good considering my back problems.
Hope my experience will help some. It can work in a lot of different shapes, bags. Just adapt it to your own gear (it can be changed and rearrange when you upgrade.... many expensive camera bags can't).
Changing some things around in the house, I've moved 37 cameras and a few lenses into this dust- and cat-resistant cabinet in the family room. Cameras were chosen on the basis of technical interest, curb appeal and compactness, for the most part.
The top shelf is all American made; second shelf is all German; and the bottom shelf is a mixture from various countries including Germany, Japan, England, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Russia.
This gets re-rearranged from time to time.

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. :)
My sister finally decided to take my old camera and learn how to use it. I gave her a few lessons, like on light, composition etc, thinking how skilled I am now.
Meanwhile I made a basic composition mistake on my picture lol. I am bit sorry I cut her legs right in the knees, but I still like it enough to make this a picture of a day.
There is still plenty of room to improve when it comes to my photography, but that's what project 365 was made for, right?
Any tips or tricks? What are your most common mistakes?
Il regalo di natale da parte del mio amore!!!
Bellissima *__*
...penso che mi divertirò tanto!!!
Se le cartucce non costassero un occhio mi divertirei di più...va va beh, mi giocherò bene gli scatti :P
This is my camera collection, minus a couple. First of all, it's missing my Nikon D200 (I had to take the photo with something!). It's also missing my Casio Exilim EX-Z60, I just totally forgot to include it. Not included is also my new Zorki 4, but that's only because it's somewhere between Ukraine and Michigan right now.
Here's a rundown of what you're looking at:
Canon FTb 35mm SLR with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens - Yep, a Nikon lens on a Canon body. I used the rare Canon MC-N adapter to get it on there. Introduced in 1971 and first to feature the Canon FD mount. Bought the body at Camera Connection in Redford, MI in January 2008. (back row, left)
Agfa Ansco Shur-Shot box camera - Agfa introduced the Shur-Shot in 1932, but I don't know the detail of this specific model. I haven't come across any others with the same detailing on the face either. The camera says to use D-6 Agfa Plenachrome film, pretty sure that's not available anymore. I think my mom gave this to me, no idea where shot got it though. (back row, 2nd from left)
Yashica Mat 124 TLR (twin lens reflex) - Essentially a copy of the Rolleiflex, Yashica came out with this TLR in 1968, again I'm not certain of the production date of mine. Takes 120 or 220 film with 6x6 frames. I got this heavy mother on eBay in June of 2006. (back row, 2nd from right)
Nikon N75 35mm SLR with Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 - Known as the Nikon F75 outside the US, this camera was at the middle to higher end of the entry level SLRs from Nikon. Only available for a few years from February 2003 to January 2006, I got mine as a Christmas present in 2003 from a then girlfriend. This is the camera that really got me interested in photography. (back row, right)
Olympus Pen-EE S half-frame 35mm camera - Funny little camera introduced in 1962. This camera takes pictures vertically so you basically get twice the amount of frames in a roll of film. I don't remember where I got this, possibly either a gift or a garage sale in the last few years. (middle row, left)
Olympus D-360L 1.3MP digital camera - Released in February of 2000, I bought mine for $300 just before a trip to San Diego in October 2000. It was either the camera or a Playstation 2 (in the end my mom got me the PS2 for Christmas). This was my first digital camera and I had a lot of fun with it. It takes 4 AA batteries, so it can get pretty heavy. It has a fixed lens stuck at an 35mm equivalent of 36mm. I used a 64MB SmartMedia memory card with it. (middle row, right)
Canon PowerShot S100 Digital ELPH 2.1MP camera - Released in the Summer of 2000 at $600. Has a 2x optical zoom and it was the smallest digital camera on the market when it was released. It's actually still one of the smaller digital cameras I've seen. The camera works fine but I've never actually used it. My dad gave it to me when he upgraded a few years ago. (front row, left)
Leica D-Lux 3 10MP digital camera - This joint production between Leica and Panasonic was released in the later part of 2006 along with its sister, the Panasonic DMC-LX2. Comes with a 4x zoom and optical image stabilization. Shoots in JPR or RAW and has three choices of framing: 16:9 (like a widescreen TV), 2:3 (like traditional 35mm film), and 4:3 (like a normal P&S digicam). I love the 16:9 ratio. I got this camera from Adray Camera in January 2008.
So, I'm going shooting tonight, but I only have one tripod, and I want to try out my new Holga with some Fuji Acros 100. So I did what any true Holga shooter would... I whipped out the gaffer tape! Now I can shoot two long exposures at once. Sweet...
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:
My wife gave me a little Pentax 110 for Christmas in 1982. I took lots of photos with it until I bought a Canon EOS 600 in 1991. As well as the standard 24mm lens, I have the 18mm and 50mm lenses and the little electronic flash. I don't think one can get the film any more. (Look at the photo and think about that last sentence :)*
So far no one's come up with anything that links the photo to the last statement - look at the top right-hand corner, which camera did I use?
We are in the process of photographing much of our collection for the book that will accompany an exhibition in the fall.
This bisque frog stands beside an egg with a hand held bellows camera. It is rather strange but charming. The dealer who sold it to us is sure it is German from early in the 20th century.

Jack noticed this 4 X 6 inch sepia photograph on the bottom shelf of an antique shop case. It was mounted in a brown cardboard folder that opens to make a stand up display. The print shows some free silver in the shadows but the appeal of the young person, a boy we thought, proudly showing off a Graflex type camera was immediate. When I looked at the scan I made I changed my identification of the gender of this young person. I think it is a girl. The overalls and cap said boy but the shoes appear to be patent leather Mary Janes. The face could be a girl's.
A study of the props and pose invites me to start to invent a story. The straps of the overalls are extended with string and the cuff shows the telltale line that says they have been hemmed and then let out. Likely they were adapted for a growing child or hand-me-downs. The camera is supported on the right knee while the right foot rests on a cardboard box. Has the studio just received and unpacked a new camera that is being held by the studio owners daughter? The folder and photograph are unmarked so we will never know.
I was shooting in London today so stopped in at Camera City Camera repairs store. They have an amazing range of vintage film cameras in stock and Pany the owner was very helpful. I didn't go intending to buy anything but came away with a 1951 Leica Summaron 35mm f3.5 to add to my vintage Leica collection. I already have the Voigtlander Skopar PIi 35mm f2.5 but I like the flare of the older lenses. Full blog post to follow.. :) This photo was taken with the Leica M9 + Leica Summaron 35/3.5

(An Olvera Street ad. Vendor announcing they have Kodak Films for cameras. I knew I just had to capture a shot of it. For goodtimes' and the good 'ole days' sake... ) ...
This is my first shot of another camera. This used to belong to my parents, they bought it 30 - 40 years ago. HSS :)
I've recently been obsessed with painting my nails pink.
Ever since I watched some TV special about Nicki Minaj.
Okay bye.

In addition to the four girls with cameras I am also adding this smiling cat wearing a big, blue bow and holding a camera because I especially like it.
Happy Valentine's Day!
excuse the crap shot.. my crappy kit lens and 1600 ISO due to low lighting and I was too lazy to bother lighting these properly.
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.
The Pax 35 was made by the Yamoto company of Japan. It is a VERY compact fixed-lens 35mm rangefinder. Slowish f/3.5 lens. No doubt the scarcity of raw materials so soon after the war led to thriftiness in design. The camera is strongly based on Leica construction but small enough to fit comfortably onto a child's open palm. An online purchase, this example is non-operative in several ways (not mentioned in the listing) but still quite an interesting little camera to look at and hold.
