Catching up on my previous trips, look at this beautiful countryside of Zaandam in the Netherlands. I took this shot with the Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 🥰
Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
The Orb, Charleston East Plaza Artworks at the Google Gradient Canopy, Mountain View, California.
From the description plate: "Developed using cutting-edge computational methods, this ultra-thin, self-supporting aluminum sculpture is made up of 6441 individual flat pieces and 217.847 rivets, assembled by hand, piece by piece,
from the ground up."
The small town of Erice, perched on top of Mount Erice surrounded by beautiful trees, welcomes you with a charming corner adorned with dry field flowers and a rustic meadow. All of this captured in a beautiful analog picture. 😊 💛
can someone help me identify this mystery aftermarket connector attached to the camera i just bought?
it's an Olympus Trip 505. the connector is a brown ZIF connector containing three pins side-by-side. extending from the back of the connector is a ribbon cable that goes inside the camera through the space between the film door and the camera's body. the connector is attached (barely) to the body with a tiny screw.
i didn't notice the connector before i bought the camera, and the person who sold it to me says they have no clue what it is.
of course, without seeing where the ribbon cable goes, identifying the function of the connector will be tough... unless this is a common modification that someone can recognize. i've got a roll of film in the camera now, so i'm unable to disassemble the camera to investigate on my own.
This is one of my favorite shots from a recent photo shoot. In the center at the end is the Starorobocinski Wierch, the highest peak in the Western Tatras in Poland.
Gear:
• Yashica TL Electro X ITS (~1971)
• Yashica Yashinon-DS 50 mm f/1.7
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
I'm back to living after a tough experience. This time a cute bunny, another photo from the same roll as before, more material already waiting to be published! 😊
