Somehow this print reminds me of the fabulous images of native Americans, made by Mr. Curtis. It must be the toning.

Voigtländer Bessamatic de luxe (1962-1964)
The Bessamatic is a beautifully made 35 mm SLR with a coupled selenium meter and a leaf shutter.
And by the way, the correct German pronunciation of "Voigtländer" is "Fohkt-lenda". It's easy. No need to force the lower jaw painfully to left and right, quavering something along the lines of "Voyyyygggtlunnder".
Shot with:
Canon EOS600D
Leica Bellows R (16860)
Leica 100mm f/4 Macro Elmar-R, bellows version (11230)

My old electric from years ago.
Experiment really but I like it anyway.
Ever wondered what to do with an old Polaroid pack camera if you don't want to pay stupid money for old film. Shoot direct positive in it that's what.

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.
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
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. 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.
Here you can see it folded: to see it fully deployed: flic.kr/p/2oQv5yg
It is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera with photometer. 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.

Selenium Tone is a preset in Lightroom 2. Following the conversion, I used a high pass filter in Saturation blend, 25%.

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.

Zeiss Ikon IKOPHOT Rapid, a match needle selenium light meter in a leather case with a ornate chain. This thingy is from the 1950’s, but I found it at a flea market a couple of years ago. The seller had no idea what it was, she told me it belonged in a set with a camera which had been sold separately. So we gathered it had something to do with photography and as I found it to look truly curious I bought it for a couple of dollars. Googling it later revealed this in fact is a light meter.
About my Corner of Curiosities: A few years ago I bought a little box with drawers, thinking I would collect a few special bits and pieces in there. I parked this little set on top of my IKEA chest of six drawers which stands in a corner of my apartment. In time, I added more small shelfs, drawers and boxes and began to put curious items on display in all the little nooks and crannies. Quirky little things I mostly find on flea markets, but also get off the net. This corner of my home serves as inpiration, and every once in I while I walk up the IKEA dresser, put my elbows on top and rest my chin in my hands while I let my eyes wander through all these curious things. Moments such as these give spark my imagination and spurs my motivation to doodle in my journals. The collection is’nt all that special, as it’s not very easy finding fairly cheap, quirky and curious things, small enough to fit in the corner. My collection is constantly changing, if I find a new collectible, something else has to go or be moved around - as the corner now more or less is full.
Anywho, I thought I’d dedicate a photo album to this Corner of Curiosities, here on Flickr - probably for no other purpose than to tickle my own imagination :)
