My photo walk of June 8, 2023 in Lyon, France by a stunning summer day with my Nikon F SLR camera (circa 1964-1965). The guiding idea was to use a circular polarizing filter with a color negative film for all outdoor pictures. I did my photo session between about 2pm to 5pm. The temperature reached 33°C in the afternoon and the atmosphere was very clear and dry.
My 60's Nikon F was equipped with its normal lens Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5cm with is lighter than my later period Nikkor-S version 1:1.4 f=50mm from the early 70's. The lens was equipped with the original Nikkor F metal shade hood specific of the 1:2 f=5cm. For all outdoor views the lens was also equipped with a Hakura 52mm polarizing filter oriented for the best color saturation.
I used a Fujifilm 200 36-exposure negative color film (this film is made in the USA and given with the same technical characteristics of Kodak Gold 200). It was exposed for 50 ISO to compensate the polarizing filter absorption, using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

After exposure, the film was developped by a local lab service using the C-41 protocol. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This exemplary of Nikon F (engraved "Nippon Kogaku Tokyo") has a serial number beginning by 658xxxx and was consequently manufactured in the mother Oi Nikon factory in Tokyo, Japan, between Dec. 1964 and April 1965. I bought the camera in Feb. 2022 from Japan. The Nikon F body came with the normal lens Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5 cm, branded "Nippon Kogagu". For the photo session the body was equipped with the body shell of a late Nikon F CTT ever ready bag. This body shell holds the original leather neck strap and is made of a metallic shell covered outside by a black leather and a dark-red velvet inside.

I attempted to polarize this shot by holding the filter in front of the 420's lens. All I got was darkness I'm afraid. A bit more detail in the sky, but dark nonetheless.

I use this title for this series of images to contextualize the imagery I shot on that day. I use photography as a Freudian sublimation of the anxiety of living in a time where our freedoms are threatened. I want to document that when this was happening these are the images I took.

I got a Marumi DHG Polarizing Filter today. I didn't have too much time to try it out yet and also it was a pretty cloudy day so there wasn't too much to try, but I made a couple of tests to see how reflections on surfices are removed.
Left is with filter on maximum effect, right is minimum.
Hoy me llegó un filtro polarizador Marumi DHG. Todavía no tuve mucho tiempo para probarlo y además el día estuvo bastante nublado, asique no había mucho para probar, pero hice un par de pruebas para ver si realmente disminuye los reflejos en las superficies.
A la izquierda el efecto del filtro está al máximo, a la derecha al mínimo.

Two polarizing filters on both sides of some materials will show the stress points. I used a polarizing filter and a computer screen.

I used my polarized glasses to try and get the difference on a shot - it worked indeed!
You can see the blue reflections on the water which is the beautiful effect of that class.
I was having a bit of fun with the polarizer and the new lens. This crane is at the top of a highrise that's about 28 stories high. I believe it will be around 40 by the time they are done.
My focus was off a bit for this shot, but I like the nice deep blue sky backdrop against the bright red crane.
