This was made using the Canon Powershot SX520 at Briones regional park in

Martinez California

This beautiful four door has just been purchased from lengthy and proper storage.

It sells like a Polaroid Pack Camera still in it's box.

I have to wait for the breeze to stop to get an unbroken sheet of water to

shoot through, and was happily surprised with the results.

Offered to you now, an item having to do with antiquity. A camera, built

during America's pinnacle of industrial design. It is as much fun to operate

as it is to admire.

"They don't make things like they use to", well this is how they use to.

Polaroid 150 conversion by Wolffe

Two examples of this design were built and produced excellent images.

3000 speed film may lack color, but are super crisp. I know there are an

array of digital camera telescopes that are in use today. This design

uses a fixed telescope, so exposure times must be below 1 second to

avoid sidereal distortion. 3000 speed FP series films from Fuji gathers

several times more light in 1 second than the human eye. The total cost,

including the 12 inch Dobsonian reflecting scope, was under $900.00.

Labor for the project was about 25 hours. A fun project all the way

around.

Anybody else using High Speed Instant for telescopic application? I will

soon be posting scanned images into the gallery, and welcome any

feedback regarding this technique.

I found nearly the same point of view as the 100 year old print on the left,

but was not happy with the road being there. As it turns out, the road

serves to show how much the natural world around it has changed hardly at

all. Proving how temporal our time here is.

This is not a photograph, but an image I created. It is meant to articulate a

popular rage with a powerful picture of the "Worst Case" scenario.

This Memorial Day should be dedicated to the Gulf of Mexico.

This is an old conversion image from an enterprise abandoned when

Polaroid stopped making films.

This Navajo structure was found on a lone dirt road across the

deserts of northern Arizona last spring. Not a soul around. Not a

sound to be heard. Only the vision of a place so unlike home.

Nicest place to stay at the end of the day on the road through the

desert south west.

If you look long and hard enough, you can see the back of your own

head........
