Leningrad 4 light exposure meters ~ 1968

So I bought a new light meter the other day and I also won my action so now I have 2 light meters. I love the beautiful black leather case that it comes in and the meter looks like it belongs to a smoker.

Leningrad 4 light exposure meters - I try to find more info and it is not easy. Russian stuff is notoriously difficult to research. What I find this is produced from 1968 and I just hope it's an ok light meter. This will be my backup meter.

Testing light meter

 

Time to go out and test the new light meter on my lunch break. If I use my Fuji in manual mood I can check if that meter is good or not. Fingers crossed..

Light meter Sekonic L-208

I did not have the best start this morning but that changed. I bought a new light meter Sekonic L-208. Super small and give me what I missing for my 6x6 music project and 3 rolls of Lomography's Color Negative 120 film 400 at my favorit store in old town - Brunos Bildverkstad. 

All I need now is to meet people who are not stubborn and let me take pictures and give me their favorite song.

I found this house on my lunch walk today and was drawn to it and had to take some pictures.

Everyone takes photos of sunsets. Now let’s see how you can step it up a notch as a photography creative.

History of Pentax

What can be better when you still need to rest than get some history on the camera brand Pentax?

And I have loaded film in the Pentax 67 and I can feel that something is wrong. I need to get help from my brother Peter sometime soon to check it out.

30 Days Photo Challange - Bokeh

Day 8: Bokeh

This is one of the easiest and most fun photo challenges you can do. Time to open up your lens aperture and capture incredible bokeh shots!

For this challenge I had to change the lens to my old 70's Nikkor 85mm 1.8 to get that bokeh feeling and you really can not see my rhubarb plant which is only 30 cm behind this flower. I love to use this lens for street portraits sometime soon.

30 Days Photo Challange - High Angle

Day 5: High Angle

Are you tired of shooting at the same angle all the time? Take a high-angle photo of a subject that would otherwise look boring at eye-level and surprise yourself.

My high angle was up on a bridge on a walk today and the funny thing is that I am so afraid of heights. Crossing a bridge is a nightmare but I did it (Solna on the left and Bromma on the right). And I know this is boring picture, but we do not have inspiration every day.

Cherry blossom in Kungsträdgården..

Cherry blossom in Kungsträdgården in central Stockholm. People go crazy when the trees are in bloom. Could be that its a sign the spring is here and we all want warmer weather after a long winter.
