rs1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hello,<br> <p>Kiev 4 AM, Helios 103, Jupiter 12 and myself recently visited India. Special thanks to Rick and Ron whose sage advice has almost removed the light leak I was having. It still faintly appears on some frames. Have to do some more debugging to squish that one. But anyway, thought I would share some photos from the first two rolls of Tri X that I processed. I was visiting family so I didn't go to any tourist places, pictures are of everyday stuff.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josphy Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Nice shots, Rajiv! I especially like the eye exam photo -- in particular, how the person wearing glasses is blurred, but, from what I can tell in the small jpeg, the eye's of the woman having her eyes examined are sharp.

rs1 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Gene,<br> You are quick! Thanks.<br> I am really liking that camera and lens more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs1 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks Joseph. Yes, the woman's eyes are in sharp focus. That was taken at f1.8 and 1/10 sec, I think. That room had very low ambient light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmck Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Walker Evans would have loved your "signs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs1 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 James,<br> Thanks! I have a book of Walker Evans' photos and I look at them so often that I find I am unconsciously emulating (copying?) them. I am still a beginner so I guess it's ok to do this for a while... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandman83 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Rajiv, The first picture is simply superb! I saw scenes of this type in bombay every morning but never thought of shooting it from your perspective! Superb! The next time I hit the streets of bombay/madras/any other indian city, I'll definitly see things differently! thanks for sharing! Inspiring! Cheers, Nandakumar (My Kiev 4 is due to arrive in about a week! And all these photos are making me go mad!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs1 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks Nandakumar! Hope you get the maximum enjoyment out of your new Kiev 4. The Kiev 4 is quite a camera. I posted those photos over a year ago and I am still using Kievs. Buying FSU cameras is really a crap shoot. If you like tinkering with cameras, they are a lot of fun (although I shudder to think of how I'll fix broken shutter ribbons). I have three Kievs and they all had issues that needed to be straightened out. Once fixed, they work very well. I recently got a Bessa R2C and I have been using it a lot with my Jupiter 8 but I still need the long rangefinder base of the Kiev for my Jupiter 9 and 11 and I love the way the Kiev shutter sounds.

nandman83 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Rajiv, I do hope mine arives functionally in one piece! I ordered a jupiter 12 35mm to go along with it too. I do hope all arrive safe and sound! Cheers, Nandakumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
