Zeiss Ikon Contaflex IV with Carl Zeiss 50mm Tessar (both circa. 1958). Arista Premium 100 (rebranded Kodak Plus X). Nikon 9000 scanner.
I love this old camera. It's small (like a rangefinder), light, and takes pretty good pictures. On this day, however, the selenium meter struggled. It overexposed almost every shot. But still, not bad for a camera that dates from the late 1950's.

Discovered last year that closeups of melting snow when converted to b+w look almost metallic. Couple that with some water drops from the meltwater and this is the result.
Sounds a simple formula but I
spent a good hour last night trying to time my shutter finger with the drip of the melt-water! Quickly melting ice doesn't stay still either (I brought it inside to shoot it) so focus drifts away through time.
Used flash to get the exposure fast enough for the water drop and used Silver Efex Pro with a bit of selenium toning to finish off the image.
I quite like the result. Hope you like it too.

To the best of my recollection I didn't do anything else but leaving this underdeveloped and fixed lith print in the Se toner for a long time. The solarization effect came as a surprise.
Perhaps an apt salmon pink colour?

$20 buy. Came with it's leather case and some typical accessories (cheap folding flash bracket, cable release, etc.). Works perfectly. Selenium cell meter is spot on. Shares the same shutter as the Kodak Retina Reflex series of cameras. Very familiar to me. Not a SLR, but a LSR (Leaf Shutter Reflex). An amazing amount of gears and springs inside needed to coordinate everything. Just winding it is almost musical. But for some small machining, this camera will take Kodak Retina Reflex lenses. A big bonus for me as I have a few - one I could sacrifice for the cause.

Selenium is a dense purplish-grey nonmetal semiconductor first discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius. Its name derives from the Greek word selene which means "Moon".
One of the element's most well-known uses is in the lightmeters of old cameras. These rely on the fact that Selenium's ability to conduct electricity is related to the amount of light present. The distinctive "honeycomb" pattern of selenium meters can be seen on many old cameras from the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately today many selenium meters no longer work accurately. However, and more importantly, they still look very, very cool. I love old cameras, and so came up with this design for my woodcut, of an old selenium-fitted rangefinder sucking up the light.
