Camera Talk

Took the little Perkeo, loaded with expired Tri-X, to a street rehearsal of a Candombe group. Underexposed like heck, and processed in my last drops of home-made D76. Scan technology to the rescue, but horrible grain.



Local government opened recently a derelict industrial area, next to the coast, as an initial stage of a public space development. Went there to finish the roll, this time with better exposure control.

The definition of the Vaskar triplet when below f/8 is impressive.



Near miss on this one, forgot to focus on the boy. Too much time using SLRs lately.



This was a plant for city gas from coal, more than 100 years old. The interesting area is the old buildings and installations, which are closed to the public.



The last one, someone going away along the old coal storage area.



The camera has been featured here before, but anyway here it is again.




Happy New Year, everybody, and thanks Mike for keeping the forum running one more year!

Yes, a Happy New Year is in need! I hope to be more active here again in the coming months.

The lest trendy lenses work pretty well stopped down. What a shame you can't explore those old buildings more. Here we have very few abandoned buildings, and "health and safety" prevent you getting close.

There's a Perkeo E for sale on our local auction site, but the price is a rather steep. Plus I don't need another camera. No, I don't.

Happy New Year.

What a shame you can't explore those old buildings more. Here we have very few abandoned buildings, and "health and safety" prevent you getting close.

Yes, no chances taken, the place is full of warning signs, entrances closed with wire mesh. But those old coal deposits are made of stone, and have been standing there for more than 120 years. Hard to believe that they would collapse anytime soon!
