Classic Manual Camera Weekend, Oct. 9

<p>I think I'm starting to get the hang of using the Rolleinar 3 on the Rolleiflex, for close up focusing.</p><div></div> -

<p>Stereo cameras were discussed (amongst other camera and photograhy subjects), on an episode of the Film Photography Podcast last winter. If you go to the website, you can hear it, and if I recall correctly, tips were giving for printing and setting up images in a frame so the stereoscopic effect could be viewed.<br> Podcast is here: http://filmphotographyproject.com/podcast/2015/02/film-photography-podcast-119-%E2%80%93-february-15-2015<br> More info here, at this site: http://www.seawood.com/simple-stereo-photography/</p>

<p>Taken with the Rolleiflex, using a recently acquired Rolleinar adaptor to enable close focusing. Film is TriX, developed in Xtol 1+1</p><div></div> -
<p>Lovely ice picture, Mike. It's hot here in France, and is going to become even hotter in the coming days, so I'll go along with the theme of posting a picture from the winter, for the 26th of June.</p><div></div>

<p>This was taken with a Minolta X300 & 200mm lens. They had belonged to the late father of a friend, and she donated them to me, as long as I was sure I'd use them.</p><div></div>

<p>Ivo, those buildings are lovely. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who sometimes takes a picture with the camera askew. I want to print this one and frame it so the image is straight up. But I couldn't figure out how to manipulate the file to post it that way here, so if you want to see the tree standing straight, you'll have to tilt your head or your screen.</p> <div></div> -
<p>Thanks for your comment, Mike. If you do get around to using the Rollei IR, it'd be great to see the results.<br /> Here's another one with the SFX and IR filter.<br> Richard, that is a very striking portrait.</p><div></div>

Classic Manual Camera Friday #9

<p>Tony, it was indeed cold but very beautiful, which is why I couldn't pass up the chance to expose some film. I wasn't the only photographer out, either, although I suspect I was the only one using a film camera. As for the ducks, they manage amazingly well.</p> -

<p>Thank you all very much, the replies and reasons given are very helpful.<br> When I look at the image on my screen, the fall off doesn't bother me if I look at it straight on, but moving slightly to the side changes the way it looks and doesn't seem right. As an image I like it, but I want the front part to separate neatly from the background so that it pops, which it isn't doing here, because, as has been said, the foreground blur is distracting.<br> So back I shall go to the gardens, with fresh, rather than out of date TriX in the Rollei, and perhaps a tripod, for smaller aperture and slower shutter speeds, and keeping in mind the comments given here.<br> I love trees and stumps: they don't change quickly, rarely move off, and don't scream "no photos! no photos!" if you point a camera at them. Their patience is wonderful.<br> Thank you all again.</p>

<p>This picture was taken with a Rolleiflex 3.5 TLR, on out of date TriX. Metered at 200 asa, normal development time in Xtol, dilution 1+1.<br> I didn't take notes of aperture or time, but it was probably wide open, and I was as close as I could get, so likely at 90cm.<br> Being that close, and with a shallow depth of field, the front of the stump is off the plane of focus, as is the background, of course.<br> Do you find the foreground blurring adds to or distracts from the image?<br> I will be printing this up on fiber paper, eventually, but would appreciate some feedback. <br> Thank you in advance for any replies.</p> <p> </p><div></div>
