Other peoples memories

I was asked by a relative if wouldn’t mind photographing some (Over 30 and counting) photo albums from his recently past mother. Nothing fancy just a shot of each double page. There are pictures going back to the early 1900’s Fascinating to say the least.

Anyway back to the grindstone…

GAS

Photography, Black And White Photography, David

I’m not talking about the price of petrol or diesel. I got a bad GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) attack the other day and couldn’t resist the call of this little, but heavy beauty. The WAF was low but I could work with it. Yes it’s another film camera kind of out of date like me. However I have so much film to use up I think this will help a little with that. What’s the WAF I hear you ask… Wife acceptance factor. See you next week when the bruises have gone.

That lens?

I purchased a “new” old lens the other day and wanted to try a portrait shot.I don’t know if you are like me with a new lens? I have to take one shot that justifies my expenditure. In this case this is the shot.My son arrived with his girlfriend. So it wasn’t difficult to ask them. The lens you ask?
A Nikon Nikkor 180mm f/2.8D. A dream lens I couldn’t afford in the 80’s.
