A 40s teaser of Marathi film SHUTTER. The film is a family entertainer, suspense thriller and at the same time a social satire. Veteran director VK Prakash's debut Marathi venture. Stellar starcast: Sachin Khedekar, Sonalee Kulkarni, Amey Wagh, Prakash Bare, Jaywant Wadkar, Radhika Harshe, Kaumudi Walokar, Kamlesh Sawant, Anirudh Hariip et al..
Escapement (right) and self timer removed. Red arrow: this is the tongue that has to engage with the claw (red circle) on the shutter plate on refitting. I soaked both in hexane overnight, and actuated them a number of times. The L-shaped lever of the escapement winds all the way back then it runs down itself - mine was tending to stick half way. The self timer (with spring refitted - note is it shown in its original orientation) has a stiff spring. You can hold its left hand "tail" with pliers and crank the fork inwards, and it will also run down itself - mine was stalling at points. After soaking and drying (several hours in the sun) I sparingly lubed all pivots with clock oil. I dripped a little onto each pivot so the well just had a little in, operated the mechanisms a few times, then wiped off as much oil as I could. They did run dry but who knows how long for.

A bit of fun with photo editing software with a new picture of the same bit of metal that has been photographed previously.
Coming along. This version has a leather shutter, which later became brass. All of the hardware came from OSH.
Using 580exII + 7D 17-35 tamron
dragging the shutter - using precurtain flash with slow shutter speed doing tests.
Did not use a feature i should have on the 580exII which will make for a second test shoot..
Ren in his happy box
One of the interesting aspects of dragging the shutter is the idea that you can use shutter speeds much slower than you are used to. Here, the image on the right is 70mm @ 1/13s. Even with image stabilization, that's a very slow shutter speed for that focal length, yet the subject is still sharp. How? Simple - in flash photography it's the speed of the flash that freezes the image, not the speed of the shutter, and flashes fire very very quickly. Quick enough to freeze this sleeping cat.
A good friend described it thusly - in flash photography you are taking two photos - the ambient light and the flash light. Slower shutter speeds allow you to capture more ambient light while the flash freezes the subject. Finding the harmonious balance between the two is where the craft lies.
Seems I was wrong when I said the aperture step down is the only mechanical action that happens when you press the shutter button on a digital camera. There's also a shutter. I'm not sure why a non-SLR digital camera requires a mechanical shutter. I just assumed that the software would just start sampling when the aperture was set and stop sampling when the time was up. Seems I was wrong.

So my shutter button broke on my beloved Sony. I thought about ordering the correct piece and repairing it, but it looked sooo complicated :) And sending it in is complicated and expensive! So, I hacked up a sewing kit from a hotel we stayed at. There was a perfect tiny metal rod holding the kit together. Trimmed it with metal cutters. Took a soldering iron to it.. and voila.. created a little fake button. Then soldered that to a cute little chain so I don't lose it... and I'm back in business! ;) I just don't jab the button down, I'm as gentle as always. I don't know what kind of damage the rod could cause if it's pushed too hard. Works perfectly. I imagine the chain could cause some noise during video, but I really don't use it for that anyway.
