La Voigtländer Vitessa deu ser una de les cà meres de 35mm més inusuals de la seva època, i compta amb més d'una caracteristica força inusual.
Es tracta d'una cà mera telemetrica de 35mm plegable i amb fotometre, fabricada el 1956. Fins aquà res d'especial. El fotometre es de seleni d'un tipus una mica inusual però res més. Però la manera com es plega aixà com avança la pel·licula son especials. L'objectiu es desplega i replega rera unes "portes de graner" dobles, força inusuals. Amb tot, hi ha alguna altra cà mera amb "portes de graner", com la Chinon Bellami.
El que sà sembla realment unic és l'avençador de pel·licula/carregador del obturador. Es tracta d'un gran "embol" a la part superior que funciona apretant-lo fins a baix de tot després de cà da fotografia. També es plega manualment un cop s'ha tancat l'objectiu rera les "barn doors".
Per tot plegat la Vitessa sembla una curiositat amb més interès com a col·leccionisme que per a fer-la servir com a cà mera, però he vist que és obviament prou valida (és una Voigtlander, després de tot). Obviament, com indica el seu nom, es força rà pida de fer anar, amb aquest llarg "carregador".

The Voigtländer Vitessa must be one of the most unusual 35mm cameras of its time, and it has more than one rather unusual feature.
To see it in folded position: flic.kr/p/2oQtyLJ
It is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera with photometer made in 1956. So far nothing special. The light meter is of selenium and of a somewhat unusual type but nothing else. But the way the camera unfolds and advances film are special. The lens unfolds and folds behind some rather unusual double "barn doors". There are only a few of other cameras with "barn doors", such as the Chinon Bellami.
What does seem really unique is the film advancer/shutter loader. It's a big "rod" at the top that works by squeezing it all the way down after each shot. It also can be folded manually once the objective has been closed behind the "barn doors".
All in all the Vitessa seems like a curiosity with more interest as a collectible than for use as a camera, but I've seen that it's obviously valid enough (it's a Voigtlander, after all). Obviously, as the name suggests, it is quite quick to operate, with this long "loader" rod.

The black churches can make for great photographs, but I've seen a number of them and I was fascinated with the cemetery surrounding this one.

On the way back home I stopped at Rocky Mountain National Park. It was still winter up there last May. I got a few shots before the snowstorm began in earnest and chased me out of the high country. I don't post too many heavily manipulated images, but I liked this monochrome in selenium tone... there wasn't much drama in the color version. Somewhere in my archives I have a slide of Longs Peak in color that looks quite a bit like this...
Longs Peak rises to 14,259 feet (4,346 m) above sea level, the only fourteener in Rocky Mountain National Park.

I toned the original print in selenium toner diluted @ 1:200 for about 2 minutes. It's not easy to see on screen, but the print has bleached slightly, the contrast has reduced a little, and the tone has become less red. I like the colour.

Punchier than the Foma version.
Liking Moersch Eco 4812. I think its going to be my go to for normal prints.
In this series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.
Some may question if this is architecture, I think it is, anyway it is man built.
This one is dedicated to one of my Flickr friends Joshua Wyborn. Although only being 17 he's already shown a high level of depth and maturity in his work that other more experienced B&W photographers can only dream of. His understanding of light, contrasts, tonality, mood and all of the finer skills in B&W photography is amazing for someone his age. My word, the world will hear more of him in the years to come. So check out his work.

Again a lith print was used as a template for a Kallitype in order to achieve a grainy result.
