Nikon F watch - 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking Nikon F camera ❤

This year is the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking Nikon F camera. Nikon's first SLR camera and one of the most advanced cameras of its day. Introduced in 1959, the Nikon F was produced until 1973, when it was then replaced with the Nikon F2. Aspects of this revolutionary model's design can still be seen in modern Nikon DSLRs today - most notably in the 'F-mount' that Nikon retained when it made the switch from analog to digital.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Nikon Museum (operated by Nikon Corporation) is releasing a Nikon F watch to commemorate Nikon F's 60th anniversary. A Nikon Museum spokesperson commented, "We planned a watch that you can always wear so that you can feel the presence and atmosphere of the Nikon F single-lens reflex camera that has been loved over time."

This info I found on Kosmo Foto and the website Digital camera world. I just had to use this. It must be the most beautiful watch ever!

The beautiful doors from Bromma aircraft hangars (1930 - 40s)

Hangar 1 and 2 were designed by architect Paul Hedqvist. Hangar 1 with a size of 75x50 meters was completed in 1942. The client was AB Aerotransport but during the Second World War, the fighter plane FFVS J 22 was built for several years in the large hall. Hangar 1 has an overhead steel truss that supports the roof. I the hangar recycled Hedqvist truss beams from the old Traneberg bridge that had just been demolished.

In the 1940s, two more large hangars were built at the airport. Among them was Hangar 3, which was inaugurated in 1948, it was Bromma's largest with a size of 151x62 meters. The huge gates went on rails and had air conduction. The hangars will be the largest in Northern Europe.

And nowadays everything is a shopping center - Bromma Blocks but they still have the beautiful doors left.

The door to Victoria house at Bergius Botanic Garden

The Victoria house was inaugurated in 1900 and the purpose was, like in many gardens at the time, to cultivate and put on display the fantastic, giant water lily, Victoria. It is designed in the best possible way to meet the water lily’s demands for light, heat, and space. Today, the house is classified as a historic building and it is unique in its kind since similar conservatories in Europe have disappeared for various reasons.

Yashica Samurai X3.0 - Half-fame camera from 1987

I was looking in one of the boxes that my dad left me, still can feel the smell of his cigarettes. And I look at this ugly video cam but when I google, I got a 35mm camera. This must be the ugliest camera in the world. I need to test it and I want to have it in my project "my song" that I will start tomorrow.

Some info from camera wiki: The unusual Samurai series was started by Kyocera in 1987 with X3.0. Samurai rejected earlier ideas about still camera design and instead created a body more similar to the compact camcorders that became popular at that time. Samurai is a true SLR image, which exposes images of half-fame (17 × 24 mm) - a format that had always been more accepted in the Japanese market (for example, in the Olympus Pen series). The Samurai X3.0 is available with both the Yashica and Kyocera brand and with accents in either red or teal blue colors. It can be seen as one of the creators of the "bridge camera" concept, along with full-screen models such as the Olympus Infinity Zoom 300.

The X3.0 has an integrated zoom lens with autofocus 25-75 mm - a 3x zoom range (the latter Samurai X4.0 zoomed in to 100mm, a 4x range). In addition to autofocus, the camera has motorized film forwards and backward, and power zooming with WIDE / TELE buttons. There is also a small "RS" (reset) button in case the camera's microprocessor locks.

Huge shiny cool doors behind Nationalmuseum, Stockholm

  

This huge shiny cool door is at the back of the National Museum, the opposite wall is in concrete. I love it, so beautiful. But why are the doors so big? 

Nationalmuseum is Sweden's museum of art and design and I been here many times when I was younger - you should go here if you come to Stockholm or if you live here.

Door to Wilhelm Becker's old headquarters ❤

I go by this house every day by train and I been thinking about this door for long. I like the lights and I always been curious what's on the door.

AB Wilh. Becker is a Swedish color company founded in 1865. AB Wilh. Becker was one of the largest color retailers in Sweden in the 20th century with the Beckers brand. This door was the entrance to Wilhelm Becker's old headquarters at Lövholmen in Stockholm.

Self Portrait with a plastic Holga lens

Self Portrait - I have been playing with the plastic Holga lens and this is probably some I should use for an assignment like the one in the video below. But these pics was only a test to see how the lens works. It can be cool pictures with the right person in front of the camera.

And don't miss this video. Lots of amazing pictures!

SELF PORTRAITS - with Ted from The Art of Photography

A door at Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm

I love doors and always wondering what's inside. I have been shooting doors for years and this is from Skogskyrkogården - Woodland Cemetery. And I think this is the house you become ash and on this door, there is no handle so you never get out.

Can't help myself if I see a beautiful door. We all collect something and I collect pictures of doors and dead animals. 

I try to forget that I also collecting old cameras (pictures take less space).
