This Olympus Trip 35 is one of the bunch of old compact analogue cameras I bought yesterday at a recycle shop. Not to collect and not to shoot with (most probably don't even work), but to make macros of. Funny thing about this camera is that it doesn't need batteries to operate because it is solar-powered!!!

The Trip 35 was a 35mm compact camera, introduced in 1967 and discontinued, after a lengthy production run, in 1984. The Trip name was a reference to its intended market — people who wanted a compact, functional camera for holidays. Over ten million units were sold.

The Trip 35 was a point and shoot model, with a solar-powered selenium light meter, and just two shutter speeds. In 'A' mode, the camera operated as an automatic Program, choosing either 1/40th sec or 1/200th sec. The camera could also sync with flash, and had a range of aperture settings, from f2.8 to f22. In flash sync mode the shutter was set at 1/40. Apart from a simple four-position zone focus system, and an ISO setting from 25–400, the camera had no other photographic controls. The camera had a PC sync connector and a hot shoe. Its lens was a coated Zuiko 40mm f/2.8, with four elements in three groups.

Split-grade contact-printed with an LPL 7453 enlarger +fujinon-EP 135mm/5.6 lens at a base grade of 2.5. Foreground shadows are dodged (0.5 exp.) and distant mountains and sky (1x and 3x exp.) are burned in at grade 5 Paper is 8x10 Adox MCC110 processed with Adox neutrol developer. Print was washed with a Patterson print washer, and selenium toned (Adox Seletoner). Pressed with a Seal Junior 60 press and scanned on a Epson GTX970 scanner without adjustments.

This shot captures a moment when the foreground was in shadow due to the movement of the over head clouds. At first I kept concentrating on the composition of the clouds on the distant peaks but then realized that the change in light in the foreground was more interesting, There was one moment when the large pine in the center was illuminated while the surroundings were in shadow but I missed it. I was at this location for about an hour, but having returned from the trip I now realize that at times like this its probably better to wait in one place for the light to change and create a magical moment than to drive around for a different view.

Here is the current status of my little Canon 7 project:

In the picture you can see the clamp holder with cold shoe (in silver PLA+) attached exposure meter. The viewfinder hood and the selenium cell protection (black) are attached to the clamp holder

The Canon 7 (here with Leitz Elmarit 2.8/90mm ltm) is a great camera with an excellent viewfinder. It is very quiet, easy to use and of excellent quality. In my opinion, its biggest shortcomings are the lack of a cold shoe. And the fact that the selenium light meter stops working properly in many cases. That's how I came up with my little Canon 7 project. A few other ideas have been added.

I don't know of any rangefinder camera manufacturer that offers a sunshade for the viewfinder window, neither Leica, Fujifilm, Canon nor anyone else. Yet such a sunshade for the viewfinder makes absolute sense. The viewfinder image becomes less contrasty, especially in dark areas and with reflections from the sun. In case of strong light incidence from the side, such a protection is almost necessary. On the Canon 7, such protection is also useful for the small focus window. The small window allows sunlight from the side to enter the viewfinder directly.

Selenium photo elements age due to light. Also, most meters built into cameras are not (anymore) very accurate. Here, the selenium photocell is protected from light. And it is possible to plug an external, more accurate, light meter onto the hot shoe.

The clip-on light shield protects both the viewfinder and the plastic in front of the selenium photocell from slight mechanical damage.

The whole thing consists of 2 parts that I printed with PLA-plus, plain PLA seems a bit too brittle to me. The two parts work fine, but can still be modified or extended.

I am grateful for comments with opinions, ideas or criticism.

Post-processed with Lightroom - I used a selenium split-toning preset and then fiddled with the highlights/shadows split. This looks much cooler than the full-colour pic.

b&w and selenium treatment

La Défense is a major business district for the city of Paris. It is at the westernmost extremity of Paris' 10-km long Historical Axis, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Défense.

Around its 100 metres – high Grande Arche and esplanade (le Parvis), the district holds many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. With its 31.4 ha, its 72 glass-and-steel slick buildings including 14 high-rises above 150 metres, its 150 000 daily workers and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 M sqft) of office space, La Défense is Europe's largest business district.

Part 2 of a new series on day time long exposures called Time Lapse

Time-lapse is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back.

Although this photo has nothing to do with cinematography the idea behind this has some similarities, and I just thought it was a nice title for a new series.

In this new series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.

The bridge on this photo is the St. Servaasbridge in Maastricht in Holland and is considered to be the oldest bridge in Holland in the oldest city (0 AD) in Holland. The bridge was built in the 13th century after the original much older Roman bridge collapsed.

I did a long exposure of this shot because I wanted to create a dynamic and dramatic feel. Architectural objects are very often cold, emotionless and even boring. That can be changed by choosing a dramatic angle - very often a low and wide angle - and/or by using the elements at play in your favor. The long exposure on the sky is meant to add the necessary emotion and drama.

Dutch description:

DIt is de bekende St. Servaasbrug in Maastricht en is gebouwd in de 13e eeuw nadat de oudere en originele Romeinse brug in elkaar is gestort.

Ik heb een long-exposure van deze brug gedaan omdat ik een dynamisch en dramatisch effect aan de foto wilde geven. Architectonische objecten zijn vaak koud en emotieloos en soms zelfs saai. Door echter de hoek en het perspectief te veranderen of de elementen die jou ter beschikking staan in jouw voordeel te benutten kan dat anders worden. De long exposure op de lucht is hier bedoeld om de nodige emotie en drama aan de foto toe te voegen.
