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.
Something a bit different for a Friday afternoon...experiments with lighting.
Aldis camera with Lukos III f/7.7 lens. A glorious range of shutter speeds from 1/100s to 1s and bulb. This takes 127 roll film, of which I have a 'hand-cut' roll on it's way from Germany. If any results come out I'll be sure to post them.
Shot with a pair of soft boxes on a marble board.

This was a 1937 Leica II model D (#2204xx) which has been converted to a 1948 Leica IIC. Top shutter speed of 500. Lens is Summitar 5cm f2 #4875xx. Was given to me by a friend who used it when travelling through Africa in the early 70s.
My Praktica MTL 50, a fully manual 35mm film camera. I don't use it all that much but it is fun to put the occasional roll of film through it as it is such a change from digital, forcing you to slow down and really think about each frame you shoot.
Leica M2
35mm Summicron (1973) (yellow filter)
Fomapan 100 in Clayton F76 (1:9 @ 68 deg for 7 min)
-- Molly photo bombed my camera porn shot. Not really.
Ever wondered how a toy camera looks like from the inside? Wonder no more, this is actually a good looking camera.
This is a photo of a red-breasted nuthatch that kindly agreed to pose for me in my backyard. Indeed, it was the first of the season. Usually, the nuthatches migrate from the area (presumably north) late in spring and return at the end of August and early September. One of the things I like about the nuthatch is its ability to assume remarkable poses with considerable dexterity and flexibility. The photo was taken in September 2012, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
Taking the new Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 instant camera out and about. Instax film handles bright sunlight just fine. For more about the Fuji, see my review at www.yashicasailorboy.com
Thanks, Chris
Postwar Ensign Ful-Vue Mk 2 (1950-54) Very similar to the Mk 1 but having a flash socket, different shutter (but same basic time or instant settings) and a now twisting lens focus system. 120 film.

I have had this shot in my head for some time and always knew it was going to be more about the edit rather than just taking a picture…I also knew that I would have to take two shots to achieve this picture and I really did not want to take two shots, I wanted to take one shot and have a quick edit.
I spent a few days trying to figure how I would get the camera to look like it was floating mid air…eventually I used the camera strap and wore it round my neck, as you do…this did work and I manage to put my neck down a little and it bought the camera down…however I needed the camera to stick out a bit so it was away from my body…my genius friend gave my two magnetic strips…I opened the screen out and rotated it so it was pointing towards me….attached the strips and used a magnet from a fridge magnet and stuck it on the strips which then stuck to my belt buckle…Like I said genius friend!!!
I then used to rubber bands to tie the lights to my hands so I could have them open…I did not want to have to long of an exposure as I knew my hands would move, so I turned the ISO up to 500, F13 and had it for 1 second.
I cloned the straps and rubber bands off in PS and also added the small flares, I wanted an orb round the camera but it did not look right so I kept the flares to a minimum. I then took back into lightrooms and decreased the contrast and clarity, I used the spilt toning to adjust the colour and increased the yellow luminance a bit and finally added a bit of vignetting.

Ganhei uma câmera nova ontem e decidi postar uma das fotos que mais gostei até agora e sem edição nenhuma só pra ver como ficou e eu realmente acho que ficou muito boa (:
Somewhere on film this moment can be experienced from a completely different perspective. (Pictured: 1972 Nikkormat EL)
So Jeni came up with these awesome little drawstring bags to tote around her camera. She was nice enough to share her measurements and notes with me so I could make one for myself.
A little birdie told me that she will be posting the tutorial when she gets back from Sewing Summit!

This is my newest 4x5 camera, the "Red Aviar". I've built it out of Bits and Pieces I've had sitting around.
The lens is a 13 1/2" Taylor Hobson Cooke Aviar Anastigmat. It's not clear if this is a WWII or a WWI lens. Regardless, it's heavy = approx. 4 Kg. This is to heavy to mount on my Calumet C-1, I was afraid I might break something, so I decided to build a custom camera to hold the lens.
The Bellows and Focusing mechanism are from a Polaroid MP4 camera. I had to drill out the front to fit the new lens.
The Body is a scrappy red wooden box I've had just sitting around doing nothing, and the rear is a leftover Toyo 4x5 rear standard. Tripod Mount is a permanently mounted Manfrotto Hex.
Lot's of plywood, cutting and glueing.
The best of about 15 lightning strikes that I captured during the storm. The worst ground strikes all seemed to land in the same place (Schlieren or Birmensdorf) and were too overexposed.
I haven't managed to capture a single lightning strike over the years but this time they were right over or behind Zürich. Having the camera connected to a laptop via USB also helped. A small program which emulated some features of Nikon's Camera Control Pro was used to trigger multiple shots, in timelapse fashion.
I hope everyone had a GREAT holiday! I got so many great gifts but the coolest gift I got was a surprise for me which was an actual camera! Bye bye gross iphone pictures!
It started as a thought, a small niggle that just wouldn't go away. What would shooting with film be like? We've been totally digital in this house since 2003 and when I started this doing-it-seriously thing I was dismissive of it. But in learning more about photography I started to realise a few things.
The picture one takes is inextricably bound to the thought processes of what you are doing in that moment. If you change that equation with kit you will change the thought processes and the pictures. I am used to going out the door and getting 200 pictures. If I am forced to think more with only 36 chances to make something good, at 50p per chance, with a fixed lens, with manual focus, with a manual rangefinder, with no chimping and a fortnight until I can see the result - will it change my brain?
I was also thinking about how contrast, grain and colour in photographs make up our syntax of how we interpret photography. Like when we hear someone's accent, the words they say are made to mean more than they are by the interpretation of what that accent means. The syntax of photography is completely wound up in how film has rendered images, and not knowing what that means leaves me floundering. We spend hours fiddling with sliders and curves, applying filters but I'm not sure most of us know what it means. Sometimes I think we are squawking like a parrot that has managed to pick up a few phrases of tourist human.
I was interested in medium format with a Mamiya 6, but I feel it is too expensive as a proof of concept. I thought about Leicas and Voigtlanders but again it was too much of a leap of faith. I thought about a Nikon FE but I thought an SLR would just lead me to think it was my usual Nikon and I'd behave in the same way.
So for virtually no money I give you an immaculate Olympus 35 RC. It feels solid and it is dirt simple. The battery will last for ages and it won't get dust on the sensor. Hopefully when I pick it up I will see the world in a different way again and, most importantly, maybe take a good picture.
I have no idea what I'm doing again and it feels great.
