The 1/2.5" sensor of the Canon PowerShot SD630 I am trying to repair. The gears look ok and I got the lens retracted. I'll try putting it back together tomorrow and see if it works. Wish me luck.
JPGs straight out of camera using Nikon's NATURAL colour profile. The old CCD sensors have been said to be more filmic (if not noisier) and this is the Nikon D60, an old DSLR which was first announced back in Jan 2008 (a 15 year old camera)
Chinese brand of lens manufacturer 7Artisans has a 10mm focal length fisheye lens for cameras with full frame sensors.
The angle of coverage is very wide, 178º, in fact, in this test photo you can see my Nikon Z 7 II camera with that lens on the far left of the mirror.
It is marketed with different mounts, including Nikon's Z mount.
It does not have any electronic connection pin, so there is no communication between the camera and the lens, therefore the focal length or aperture parameters may be wrong or non-existent.
Obviously, the focus and aperture are done in manual mode (M), although you can interact with other camera parameters such as exposure time or ISO sensitivity.
You can also use that new function that many advanced cameras have, such as the so-called "focus contour" (or "focus peaking").
I appreciate the explanations that Flickr member Mali Davies makes in his Youtube video regarding this lens.

PRIMER TEST CON LA NUEVA LENTE OJO DE PEZ, 2023
La marca de fabricación de lentes, de origen chino, 7Artisans, tiene una lente ojo de pez con una distancia focal de 10mm para cámaras con sensores de formato completo.
El ángulo de cobertura es muy amplio, de 178º, de hecho, en esta foto de prueba se ve mi cámara Nikon Z 7 II con esa lente en el extremo izquierdo del espejo.
Se comercializa con diferentes monturas, incluida la montura Z de Nikon.
No tiene ningún pin de conexión electrónica, con lo que no hay comunicación entre la cámara y la lente, por tanto los parámetros de distancia focal o de apertura de diafragama pueden ser erróneos o inexistentes.
Evidentemente el enfoque y la apertura de diafragma se hacen en modo manual (M), aunque se puede interactuar con otros parámetros de la cámara como son el tiempo de exposición o la sensibilidad ISO.
También se puede usar esa nueva función que tienen muchas cámaras avanzadas como es el llamado "contorno de enfoque" (o "focus peaking").
Agradezco las explicaciones que hace en su video de Youtube el miembro de Flickr Mali Davies en relación con esta lente.

It was time to try out my new camera and Zeiss lens. The best scenario was blue hours going around for Haarlem. Here a long exposure I love the details and the good colours captured by the FF sensor. Comments welcomed
A new toy for unscientific research
A real macro objective with autofocus manages quite well with a limited-size-sensor camera body.

Rig shots are always fun to edit, right? Ahaha, only if you have an addiction to cloning!
I was browsing through a photo set earlier and noticed this one. Apparently, my lens got tremendously dirty and wet from the rain. I specifically remember looking down and thinking, "Damn, that can't be good!" and cleaning my lens immediately.
While sensor dust has always been a problem, I think this effect was a bit interesting, so I kept it. Interesting in that, "Oh-god-I-don't-ever-want-to-clone-again" sort of way.

A very popular camera by Agfa from the late 70s and a little marvel of industrial design. The "Optima Sensor" name had been used by Agfa for a series of simple electronic consumer cameras since the late 60s denoting the presence of a big, red, feather-touch shutter button (sensor) that adorned the top of the camera and was considered very hi-tech at the time.
This last series of the Agfa Optimas were marketed during the late 70s and production continued well into the 80's being hugely successful in the european market. At least 5 different models exist, including a rangefinder (Agfa Optima 1535) and one equipped with an electronic flash, aptly named "Agfa Optima Flash". The best online source of information regarding these cameras can be found here:
www.edition-oldenburg.de/agfa_optima.html
The Optima 1035 pictured here sits second from the top of the line-up feature-wise. It is a zone-focus camera with a fully automatic exposure system based on the Agfa Paratronic electronic shutter. Despite its introduction at a time when plastic was already being used extensively in camera manufacture, the littke Agfa is mostly made of metal with a very durable black coating. Some parts are made of plastic (like the film advance lever or the focusing ring) but the overall feel is that of a solid, durable camera.
The most prominent feature of the camera is the HUGE and extremely bright viewfinder which is a small revelation for first-time users. It is very close in size and brightness to the viewfinders found in premium rangefinders and makes using the camera a real joy. In the 1035 the VF features three distance symbols and a red needle that moves between them according to the chosen focus distance, the minimum being 0.9m. The frame line is illuminated and there are parallax correction marks for close subjects.
Another unique feature of the Optima is the lack of a rewind crank. With the help of (rather flimsy) toggle switch on the top plate, the film advance lever doubles as a rewind crank, a clever design that made the installation of such a bright finder on such a small camera possible.
Upon opening the film door, another clever feature makes its apperance: When loading the camera, the film is passed under a small shield on the winding side which protects film that has already been exposed from accidental opening of the film door.
The lens is a fast f2.8, 40mm four-element Solitar-S ("S" denoting multi-coating) which is quite sharp under good lighting conditions with good contrast and resistance to flare.
Shutter speeds go up to 1/1000s and in low light the Paratronic can stay open for at least one full second. The high top shutter speed combined with the minimum diaphragm opening of f22 ensure proper exposure of fast film even under the brightest conditions. The shutter is completely battery-dependent, it doesn't open at all if batteries are not installed. The feather-touch shutter release ensures minimum shake when taking the shot, reducing the chance of a blurry shot in relatively slow speeds.
Agfa engineers were clever enough to put the CdS cells of the metering system at the six o'clock position of the lens beauty ring, a fact that prevents shadowing of the sensors when a lens hood is used.
Not everything is good on the little Agfa though. For starters, the ASA setting stops at 400 which can be quite limiting if one wants to push fast film. Also, there is no backlight compensation provision, one has to change the ASA setting to deal with backlit subjects.
Additionally (and most annoyingly) the shutter produces an awful screeching sound when fired, probably the worst-sounding shutter I've ever come across, regardless of camera type.
Another ill-conceived feature of the camera (perhaps imposed by the necessity for small size) is the fact that the battery department is accessible only after opening the film door, so in case the batteries die mid-roll, the film must be rewound in order to change them. To make things worse, there doesn't seeem to be any means of knowing if the batteries are weak. The camera uses an uncommon arrangement of three 625 button cells, but at least its exposure system is designed for the common alkaline ones, not the obsolete mercury cells.
For some reason, Agfa deemed it necessary to equip the camera with a red LED lamp that sits above the lens barrel and lights up momentarily every time the shutter is fired, letting everyone know that you've taken their picture. It also blinks during countdown when the (mechanical) self-timer is activated.
As you can see from the picture, the Optima has no strap lugs, as Agfa chose to equip the camera with a proprietary screw-on neck strap that attaches on the left side, a solution that is a complete failure in my opinion. First of all, if you lose the strap there is no way you can replace it with a generic one. Also, the choice of a long neck strap is very poor for such a small, light camera which would benefit most from a short wrist strap, although a pair of scissors and a couple of rivets can easily remedy that. On top of that, placing the wrist strap on the left side is totally counterintuitive, as it virtually precludes secure single-handed operation of the camera with the right hand. According to the manual, the port for the screw-on strap doubles as the tripod mount, although this obviously implies that the camera can be used only in vertical orientation when on a tripod.
Overall, the small size and all-black color, combined with an accurate, fully automatic exposure system, a good semi-wide lens and an unsurpassed viewfinder, make this little Agfa very attractive as a stealthy street shooter. Still, there are a few shortcomings that make it fall short of being the perfect "little black beauty" a title I reserve for the Olympus XA2, my "golden standard" for this particular category of cameras.

Nestled among vinyards in the eastern Columbia Gorge is the tiny hamlet of Maryhill. It's one of those places that you don't wander past because the roads that go there don't go anywhere else. To me, that would seem to be a slice of heaven. The BNSF railway runs just to the north, so that would bring a little excitement.
This little defunct gas station sits across from a church. I like old gas pumps, and this one is in relatively good condition.
I tried using the CFV 100C back with the 907X camersa for the first time. I used an old V series lens with an extension tube. The camera does not particularly like this, but it is possible. The sensor builds the image from top to bottom in this mode, as opposed to all at once like it would witrh the 500CM or Flexbody. This is because it does not recognize that it has a lens attached, so it defaults to turning the sensor on only when the shutter is triggered. It makes for some interesting compostions, none of them usable.
Camera: Hasselblad 907X / CFV 100C.
Lens: 80mm Zeiss Planar

Rising Sun Refection on Juvenile Bald Eagle: I was at the edge of Lake Winnipeg at sunrise, where I saw Bald Eagles flying the day before. The sun was 1/2 over the horizon...the sun was to my back. A juvenile bald eagle did a fly by (they have brown and white feathers - not the white head and black feathers of the adult). Looked at the images when I got home, and discovered this image, the reflection of the orange rising sun reflecting off of feathers of the eagle. The sensor picked it up, I did not see this through the view finder. Every now and then you get lucky.
With really warm temperatures, our workshop students' cameras were running a little hotter than normal. No, their cameras were not exploding but I did have a little fun with it in this single exposure image captured in Arches National Park.
How I Got The Shot
This is a 20 second single exposure image where I shot for about 15 seconds with the camera locked on the tripod before releasing the camera for the final 5 seconds. During this last 5 seconds, I moved the camera free-hand using the lighted LCD screens to make the smoke.
2020 Workshops Released
2020 events were just recently released so they all have spots available. Check out the exciting events at NightPhotographyWorkshop.com and be sure to use discount code "EARLYBIRD" for a 20% discount on workshop payments through the end of September. Our feedback is great so claim your spot today!
With the naked eye, the sun was a lurid, hellish red. But I have yet to use a roll of film or a digital camera with a sensor that can capture what the eye sees. So instead of a red ball hanging close to the horizon we have this. And, in a way, that's bad enough.
The bluish light hitting the telephone pole is coming from some blue sky to the north-northwest. The smoke was coming from the northeast, where Altadena and Eaton Canyon are located. The two combined created an eerie lighting effect that I tried to capture as best as possible.

AGFA first used this mechanical support of the trigger force with the red trigger on the Optima 200 sensor from 1968. The purpose was to avoid camera shake by using a lower trigger force. This red trigger then became the trademark of all AGFA cameras. In fact, people even tried to transfer this symbol into the digital age.
Here I show a few late specimens, some of which were produced in Japan.
German
AGFA setzte diese Mechanische Unterstützung der Auslösekraft mit dem Roten Auslöser erstmals bei der Optima 200 Sensor von 1968 ein. Der Sinn war durch eine geringere Auslösekraft Verwackelungs-Unschärfe zu vermeiden. Dieser Rote Auslöser wurde daraufhin das Markenzeichen aller AGFA Kameras. Tatsächlich versuchte man dieses Symbol sogar in das Digital Zeitalter zu übertragen.
Hier zeige ich ein paar späte Exemplare deren Produktion teilweise schon aus Japan kam.
This is another image captured last weekend in Evanston, IL. I was introduced to this decrepit pier and wanted to see how it would stand up to winter's cold breath. The last image was a similar perspective, but a long exposure. Here, I wanted to highlight the great light emanating over the layer of clouds over the lake. Again, a manual blending of exposures, capturing the sky in one, and the foreground in another. I would ideally like to take this from one image but my sensor couldn't capture the complete dynamic range. Also, I'll upload a few more shots from this morning. I'm going to try to present images in a series more often.
This wide-angle natural color photo shows several of the nebulae in the Orion B Molecular Cloud Complex centered around the star Alnitak which is the leftmost star in Orion’s belt. Alnitak is the bright young giant star that sits to the left-center of the this Flickr photo. It is so bright that the long exposure shows it as a blue-white bright circle rather than just a point of light.
At the center of the photo is the Horsehead Nebula (B33). B33 is a dark or absorption nebula that is composed of interstellar dust and neutral hydrogen molecules that a few degrees above absolute zero. B33 blocks the light from the red emission nebula IC 434 that lies behind it. IC 434 is a vast region of heated ionized gas. The ionized hydrogen glows red due to the extreme ultra-violet radiation from the bright star Sigma Orionis above B33 in the photo. This intense ultra-violet radiation causes the electrons in the hydrogen atoms to be knocked free and their eventual recombination with the proton produced the glowing red light of the nebula.
The Flame Nebula NGC 2024 lies below the bright star Alnitak. This is a red emission nebula that is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming. The black portions of the nebula are dark nebula dust lanes that block the view of the gas and stars in NGC 2024 that lie behind it.
Below and to the left of B33 is the small reflection nebula NGC 2023. This nebula is primarily a dust cloud that reflects the blue light from the young stars in front of it to make it visible from Earth.
The photo was taken using iTelescope’s small, robotic remotely controlled T20 astrograph at the New Mexico Skies Observatory in Mayhill, NM. T20 uses a Takahashi FSQ 106ED telescope with a 106 mm (4.2 inch) diameter and a focal length of 530 mm (20.9 inches) with a photographic speed of f/5. The image sensor attached to the telescope is a Santa Barbra Imaging Group SBIG STL-11000M Monochrome CCD astronomical imaging camera. Astrodon wideband luminance, red, green, blue, and a 5 nm narrowband hydrogen-alpha filter were inserted separately in front of the SBIG’s camera sensor. A total of the 6.9 hours of exposure time was used to capture all the data for this image.
The calibrated exposures were downloaded via the Internet to my home computer for processing to produce the final Flickr image shown above. The following software was used to process the Orion B Molecular Cloud raw data: Astro Pixel Processor, PixInsight, Photoshop 2021, Topaz Denoise AI, and Topaz Sharpen AI.
DSC_0058 Found an old folder with pictures of Brandi watching the soccer game at Lander. I shot it with a 50mm, The D80 has a small sensor, so it's like an 80mm on a full size. I De-saturated and cropped it a little more with RawTherapee and saved it as a .png.
I know I risked my camera's sensor burning out because of the direct intense sunlight, but I just couldn't pass this shot up. :O

Originally one of the obsolete Walküre class line of destroyers, the Von Clausewitz has been refitted as a command and control ship for the Strahl forces assigned to Earth.
The main armament of the destroyer has been removed to provide space for advanced C3 equipment. The remaining armament consists of four point defense laser turrets and two forward-facing beam cannons. The vertical launch system on the bow has been heavily modified to launch sensor drones and can no longer arm and fire offensive missiles.
The interplanetary ion engines are taken over unmodified from the Walküre class. Due to the C3 equipment being much lighter than the main weapons previously installed, the Von Clausewitz has excellent acceleration and can outrun most other capital ships.
Highly automated like most Strahl vessels, the ship can be flown by ten people in the case of dire emergency. To efficiently operate the C3 stations, a crew of 1500 is required, usually working in three shifts of 500 crewmen each.
