I did this this quite quickly this afternoon, maybe I'll work on it a bit more after work tomorrow. Oil on canvas 60x50cm.
Check out my blog where I write about how I do these paintings, I'm posting a lot more frequenlty this year and trying to give it some structure: larcey.blogspot.com/
Is progress truly progress? How do you improve upon perfection? Not once have I ever worried about getting dust on the Sensor, when changing lenses.
Not just any camera. Why?
Back to real photography . . . No batteries required!
Manual everything.
Whether you realise it or not, regardless which brand camera you are loyal to, THIS CAMERA, that is the Nikon F, was the father to all Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras that followed.
I searched long and hard for this pristine example. Easily looked at 100 cameras. It is 99.9% perfect, though 54 years old.
I first saw war correspondents, during the Vietnam Conflict with the Nikon F strapped around their necks. This camera spawned my enduring interest in Nikon.
The Nikon F 35mm film camera was introduced, April 1959 and was Nikon's first SLR camera. My camera was manufactured by Nippon Kogaku K. K., Japan, between July and September 1967.
The March 1959 Philadelphia trade show (Master Photo Dealers and Finishers Association Convention) of the Photo Marketing Association saw the US introduction of three new top brand Japanese SLR lines: the Minolta SR-2 with 55/1.8 and a list price of $249.50, the Canon Canonflex with 50/2 and a list price of $299.95, and the Nikon F with a 50/2 had a list price of $359.50, which costs more, today, unless it is in poor condition.
The Nikon F was the first Japanese SLR to have a lens lineup from 21mm to 1000mm.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with 100% Viewfinder.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with Mirror lock up.
The Nikon F was the first 35mm SLR with interchangeable focusing screens.
There were many firsts, in the Nikon F.
The Nikon F was superseded in 1972, by the Nikon F2 series, after a production total of 862,600 to 1,051,051 bodies, less about 90,000 Serial Numbers reserved for the (Nikon S3M range finder camera bodies).
The Nikon F marketed and sold exclusively for the German market were branded Nikkor F.
Here are some very good articles about the birth of the Nikon F-

Note: This camera and lens were pre-owned. When I decide to purchase pre-owned photographic equipment, it must look this well maintained and cared for, plus function perfectly, or I am not interested. Can you imagine this camera is 54 years old? I estimate that is was assembled on Tuesday, September 12, 1967, when approximately 158.7143 cameras were assembled every working day.
$306.27 AUD Nikon F camera body cost
$423.50 AUD Nikkor-SC Auto f=55mm 1:1.2 lens with HS-3 Lens Hood, Nikon L-1A Lens Filter cost
$22.00 AUD Nikon Nippon Kogaku 52mm J.U.M. 515,897 Lens Cap cost
$48.00 Nikon AR-1 cost
As I did not purchase everything all at once, I didn't notice the cost, so much. I examined many samples and asked a lot of questions, before I settled on these items. And, I just waited until what I wanted became available.
You may wonder why I did not go for a black edition. I could not be 100% assured it had not been like mine, but painted black. Many of the black Nikon F camera bodies are brassed all along the edges and very few examples are as nice as mine. Lastly, the black version commands a ridiculous price for exactly the same camera, except they are black. I just like the finish and contrasting black leatherette of mine. Refer to this weblink- www.destoutz.ch/typ_finish.html#black
So, you may wonder why I did not go for a later model "Nikon "Apollo" F. All slick advertizing by U.S. camera retailers, back in the day and plastic bits on the Rewind Lever and Self-Timer Lever. Also, it has a later Focusing Screen and an Eye Level View Finder that will accept diopter correction lenses, as well as Type 2 threaded flash sync terminal. The only difference that I can see between the two Nikon F and the "Apollo", is on the flash contact: the early 7303xxx has white insulating plastic on the flash connection and the late 7444xxx has black insulating plastic. Are the cosmetic changes worth more to me? No, quite the opposite. I wanted the bulletproof version, like what was used during the Vietnam war.
As a perfect counter balance to this gem, I use a Sekonic Studio Deluxe II L-389M Light Meter that does not require batteries.
I have found using this combination has made me much more careful and thoughtful as a photographer. Actually have to plan and think about camera settings and equivalent exposures before taking your shots.

The worried face of a baby racoon. Two baby raccoons, which had become separated from their mother had climbed a palm tree to seek a safe spot close to dusk. It is likely that she found them, they were gone the next morning. If you encounter uninjured, young animals, generally the best option is to keep your distance and allow time for a parent to return. Be aware that young animals, such as raccoons, may carry rabies.

I don't know how much I'll be on Flickr. My dog Alfie is very sick today. I had him to the Vet this morning and ex-rays of his stomach were done. It appears to be a lot of dog food thats still in his stomach even though he has been vomiting. I would have thought that he had a stick or something of that nature stuck in there. I'm worried that he may have bloat. Anyway the Vet gave him a shot and now its just a waiting game to see how things go. He may have to have surgery if this doesn't clear up. Please keep my boy in your prayers. Thanks everyone and have a nice day! Hugs!

Why the worried face, Eddie?
Would you say that he looks worried, uneasy, or just plain cheesy?
This is all Eddie... No Photoshop involved :)
We have had nothing but rain due to tropical Storm Debbie these past few days. It doesn't
have to thunder for Lexi to worry about a storm. Just an overcast feel and a bit of wind and she has a pensive look. I took her outside on the front stoop to take this photo and you can see she is concerned about the weather we are having. Needless to say, we did not stay out long. I worked with what I got.. My senior of all the Standard poodles is showing her 8 years here......please don't let her know about the white hairs on her chinney chin chin. It will just be one more thing for her to worry about!
Zoos here on the east coast of North America are keeping their birds sheltered and away from people during the current outbreak of avian flu. It's been more than a month since I visited Elmwood Park Zoo, with its large exhibit for bald eagles and golden eagles. I wondered where they could be sheltered.
An internet search tells me that there has been only one recorded case of a bald eagle with avian flu. The virus affects mostly poultry and water birds.
I hope to volunteer at Elmwood this weekend; hopefully, I'll learn more.
Mazama (our gold dog) was very sick this week, including exploratory surgery. For awhile, we didn't know if she was going to make it. Eevah (our brown dog) wouldn't leave her side. Today, Mazama is eating again and acting more like her normal self, and hopefully we're out of the woods.
(Both are rescues from the Willamette Humane Society. We've had Mazama for three years - we adopted her after she was found in the wild, beaten up and pregnant. Eevah joined us six months later, at seven weeks old, giving Mazama a chance to raise a puppy!)
"Honest, Lady, I just want the cat's kibble." This little girl scurried off the front porch this morning when I took out the cat's food and hurried up the nearest tree. It's not unusual for us to see them in early morning, but this was more like mid morning. She never once hissed or came at me, so I'm not worried about her and the cat wasn't bothered by her either. I think she must have been really hungry and Jonnie doesn't mind sharing, except when the raccoons wash their paws in her water dish. A real treat for me to get a quick photo.

I've been quite neglectful of my Flickr and it looks like I'll probably have to decide whether or not I'm going to pay for a pro account.
I am so far behind in posting but that should change soon.
Last night I stopped at the pond and took Ernie and friends some cracked corn. All the usuals appeared. But no Ernie. At first I didn't think anything of it, sometimes he goes off to nap. The longer I sat there the more I worried. Ernie never leaves the pond. He may hide, but he never leaves.
The rival male and female were chasing off Ernie's male and female as well as others. I fear the worst. I walked around looking for him, hoping he decided to nap somewhere. I didn't see him. I called for him as well, no Ernie.
I went back out a short while ago. No sign of Ernie anywhere. I emailed the game warden to see if anyone reported an injured or dead duck and included a photo.
Next, I will post a few signs out there. I hope that he was rescued if injured. I fear the worst.
Think good thoughts for our Ernie. Last seen by me Wednesday, May 8th.
