Cutest little Phalangium opilio on my house wall













Does it not look so shy and cute? I have lots of them on my house wall every summer and fall.

Phalangium opilio (also known as the common harvestman, brown harvestman and daddy longlegs) is a species of harvestman belonging to the family Phalangiidae.

To be, or not to be Analogue that is the question..

 

To be, or not to be Analogue that is the question and after seeing the documentry that I have below. I think the answer is yes and it was a great documentary so please don't miss it.

My problem is that it costs too much with film and lab. But if I start developing film myself again it should be doable if I buy the cheapest black and white film (Fomapan 400). The next project will be with the Hasselblad 500C/M. 

Is this not the most beutiful picture? I loan it on Hasselblads website and please visit and learn more on Hasselblad history here: hasselblad

Nikkor lenses ~ Love


So the 2 lenses I have for my new (old) Fujifilm X camera are 2 older Nikkor lenses that I borrow from my brother. Pancake NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 AI-s (1980-82) and a NIKKOR 35mm 2.8 Al (1979-2005). Fully manual focus and I'm really like this 35mm. It's a shame the Pancake lens isn't small with the adapter.

Manual focus is ok as long as it's not dark outside. Then you have to take a few extra pictures to be sure you got the picture.

Long exposure ~ 3 seconds

 

If you lack photo inspiration, my tip is to try long exposures. All you need is a tripod. This picture is with 3 seconds, Iso 250 and with an old Nikkor 50mm lens so with manual focus.
