I shot my dog Chance with low light using my Holga 120N. I used the floor for a tripod and set the Holga to "B" exposure and guessed on about a 1/2 second exposure.

First models of Salyut were probably the near copies of Hasselblad 1600. Salyut-S is the very modified model of the first Salyut.
Kiev-80 cameras are the export type of Salyut-S with a new name plate.
The Salyut was the first attempt by the Soviet camera industry to produce a sophisticated SLR medium format camera.. The Soviets claimed that both the Hasselblad and the Salyut were derived from a Nazi prototype, however none of these supposed forerunners have ever been seen so this origin is dubious.
These cameras were very expensive at 400 Rubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen.

The bag: Fjällräven Kånken Big in brown.
Cameras + matching covers/bags:
- Agfa Isola 1 + Zatchels barrel bag
- Canon EOS 700D wih 18 - 55mm kit lens (I just really love that silly little starter kit lens) + Löwepro holster (2006 edition)
- Canon PowerShot D20 + pencil case from HEMA. Because you know, it's waterproof, rain won't stop me! And what if I encounter a pond with frogs or pretty fish in it!
- Lomography Action Sampler, soccer edition (it was discounted, I don't care that it says soccer BOING on it) + pencil case from HEMA
- Samsung Slim Zoom 115 A Panorama (which has been with me since 1996, I'm the first owner) + leather cover (it's actual cover)
Other stuff:
- Coloud color headset. Originally it had black padding, but that got so much wear and tear that I put on the blue ones from my previous model (which broke before the padding could die).
- Old iPod classic (from back in 2008)
- Pocket edition (Collector's Libary) of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days, my favourite book :) Without the pretty cover, because that would just get damaged in my bag.
- Instax mini film, just the plain one
- Little tin box from HEMA which says "A good day for my favourite everything" (the print isn't very clear, that's not just the photo) which I use to keep cards and instax photos in from that day.

Earlier this month I took delivery of a new (second hand) Pentax 67II medium format film camera, all the way from Japan. It takes 120 roll film and produces a big negative rich in detail and with a wide tonal range. This is one of my first test shots, taken near the Lower Lake in Glendalough in county Wicklow.
Having done a little bit of film processing thirty years ago, I wanted to try it again and medium format seemed to offer all I needed for my particular projects. I also want to be a part of the 'slow photography' movement, where shots are carefully thought out and pondered before the shutter is pressed. Slow being the operative word; this Pentax monster weighs 5 Ibs, not including a heavy tripod! I'm looking forward using it and exploring the possibilities of film again.

Mamiya C33 Japanese TLR camera with interchangeable lenses, produced between 1965-1969.
Lens: Mamiaya Sekor 1:3.5 f=65mm
Shutter speeds: B, 1 - 1/500 Sec
Also nicknamed "The Brick", an excellent camera for studio with interchangeable lens, is pretty heavy to carry around especially together with it's accessory and additional lenses but is a great camera.
I like the solid, classic shape of these TLR Rolleiflex. A great camera that I do really hope to use at the best.
Cuireadh daoine i gcré na cille i i Machaire Gathlán den chéad uair sa bhliain 1765. Roimhe sin bhí ar an phobal na mairbh a iompar ar thuras cúig mhíle dhéag trasna chnoc Thaobh a' Leithid fhad le reilig Thulacha Beaglaoich in aice leis an Fhál Carrach. Tá sean-bhallóg le feiceáil sa reilig. Deirter gur teach pobail a bhí anseo a thóg ord na bProinsiasach.
The old cemetary in Machaire Gathlán, West Donegal, was first used as a burial ground in 1765. Prior to that, the dead had to be carried across the hill of Taobh a’ Leithid to the graveyard at Tulach Beaglaoich beside the town of Falcarragh. This was a journey of some fifteen miles. The ruin in the graveyard is reputed to be a Franciscian church.

Another shot on my journey home. This, I feel, is extremely reflective on how airports actually feel. ;)
What I did, for the curious, is put a roll of 35mm film into my Lubitel, and then only advanced the film a tiny bit for each shot. If you've never worked with a medium format camera before, you don't advance it like a normal 35mm. You shoot, and then turn a knob until you reach the next frame. This can allow for an extremely free-wheeling process if you want it to, which I really enjoy.

As I mentioned before, in August 2011 I visited my friend and photographer Tyler in Seattle. He was kind enough to provide me with a tour of nearby National Parks, which he documented quite well over the last few years since he moved into the area.
One day, I'll tell you a sad story about a very nice sunrise at Mount Rainier, but this story, far less sad, begins later that same day.
After breakfast at Rainier, we broke camp and took a few hours drive west to a quaint little town of Forks, WA, made famous by some teenage vampire novels you may have heard of. We stopped at a few places along the way and took some photos, but the main goal was to get to the Second Beach, a secluded place on the western side of the Olympic peninsula, in time for the sunset.
And we did, or so we thought. The First, Second and Third beaches are adjacent lagoons, each with its own trail leading back to the main road to La Push, WA. But, since it was an afternoon of a long day when we drove by, we didn't realize we took the trail for the Third beach until we hit the sand, a mile or so later.
Which was just as well, because it was a perfectly lovely place, and the dying light of the day provided great back lighting to the distant sea stacks. I started a new roll of Fuji Velvia film with two sunset shots, of which I prefer this one, with more dramatic clouds and nice reflection in the water. I wish I had a longer lens than the normal 80mm on my Mamiya 7 medium format camera, or that I were closer to the distant sea stacks, but it still ended up being a very nice photo.
Although remote, Olympic National Park is well worth the trip - in this post, I didn't even mention the central part of the park with rainforests, river valleys and dramatic waterfalls, like the Sol Duc Falls. By the time we got back to civilization, the weather cleared up very nicely. As a bonus from the visit, during our stop at a Starbucks I ended up picking up Hugh Laurie's excellent CD "Let Them Talk", which I like almost as much as these photos.

Pentax 6x7 loaded with Kodak Gold 200 medium format film shot at box speed. November 18th 2022. Fairland, OK
Part of Open House New York (OHNY) 2017, where on a weekend once a year many beautiful architectures and spaces normally not open to public are open for people to see.
This year I visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard. An old navy yard with long history that have been converted to commercial spaces.
Again this year photography wise I decided to go with my Hasselbald 500 C/M, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm set, and left my digital home. So, all were done on film. It was a fun afternoon walking around and taking pictures in there.
